First cycle ever! Not afraid of needles need advice.

[WestCoast2008]

I know I posted it in the cycling info section, but this place seems to get more traffic.

Stats: 21, lifting for 7 yrs. 5'11 260. going to cut to 10-12% bf before starting my cycle, which will most likely leave me just under 250. I just want to figure out my cycle in advance. I'm planning on starting it in early September. Looking for vascular look main focus is crazy strength gains, lean mass is a definite plus. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking of running this:

Wks 1-10 Testosterone Ethanate 250 mg/wk
Wks 1-10 Equipoise 400mg/wk
post cycle therapy
Nolvadex wks 11,12 40-50mg wk
wks 13,14 20-30mgs/wk
HCG - human chorionic gonadotropin
- wks 9-12, 2000 IU's every 5-6 days
Arimidex wks 11-14 .5mg/day

I originally was thinking about TEST prop. 100mg/a day
and adding either anavar-5 weeks to jump start it or
adding Trenbolone for 7 wks. But I talked to some more experienced guys and they recommended
keeping it light for my first cycle

1. 250mgs of testosterone enanthate is useless
2. just run 500mgs of testosterone...nix the EQ you dont need it for a first cycle. just more sides to deal with
3. PCT is 4 weeks. 40/30/20/10. not 50/50
4. HCG is used on cycle, not post cycle. that **** is old schoo. use 250IU twice a week and youll jump right back when you start PCT. HCG causes further supression if used post cycle.

250 mg/week of Test isn't useless for most. Many people have used 250 mg/week of Test with good results on their first cycle.

i'd extend the duration of EQ or drop it, myself i'd probably drop it and use a lil more test.

I like the idea of 500 mg of test a week. I was originally thinking 700, but first cycle, 500'd I'm sure would do a lot for me. Thanks for the info about HCG.

500mg/wk of Test E for 12 weeks with 4 weeks PCT.

2000iu is waaayyyyyy too much HCG to use per shot. Like jomi said, 250 or 300 twice a week throughout would be much better. I do like the idea of keeping w/ the HCG through week 12, or maybe take your last shot 12 days after the last test/EQ shot and start the nolva 3 days later. Point being to keep with the HCG and hold off on starting the nolva until the long esters clear.

HCG can be used post cycle for a short period at lower doses.

ditto to rodja.. test-e 500mg per week pinned monday and thursday 250mg each day. 10-12 weeks. Stick with one compound for a 1st cycle so you know how your body reacts to it. with multiple compunds, you dont know what is doing what.
