Previous cycles: Ostarine for 4 weeks, didn't like it, clomid for 2 weeks.


12 week cycle, will do full bloods before, 6 weeks in, and after of everything that is recommended here that I've read.

Weeks 1-12
350mg test C weekly split into two doses.
12.5 aromasin EOD

Weeks 10-12
HCG 500mgx2

PCT Weeks 15-18
Clomid 50/50/25/25
Nolva 40/20/20/20

Reasoning: I know 500 is what I see often for first cycles, want to see how my body reacts with 350.

Couple of questions:

If I'm going to pin Sunday and Thursday, when exactly do I take the aromasin? So I start that Sunday as well?

Should I add Tongat to my PCT?

I've read that HCG can be done from weeks 8-12? Currently I'm planning on 10-12, thoughts?
 
For PCT, address the rise in cortisol . SNS REDUCE XT is the tried and true cortisol control supplement.

Another great option is a natty test booster. CEL M TEST is a great product with properly dosed ingredients used by many here on AM.
 
350mg of Test is fine for a first cycle. The gains won't be as pronounced as 500 but you can definitely see some positive changes over 12 weeks.

Your Exemestane dose is possibly too high to start. I would suggest 6.25mg 2-3x per week on set days, so you remember. If you are pinning on Sunday night and then thursday morning, I'd take the exemestane on pin days, or pin days plus the Tuesday in between. It's possible you may not even need an AI on 350mg of Test, but you likely will. Starting with a low dose allows room to increase the dose if necessary, and not suffer any pronounced negative sides from low E2. The low dose will not crash your estrogen.

You need to also use the HCG for the two+ weeks while the Test clears before PCT. So, you would dose HCG weeks 10-14. You could also use it weeks 8-14 if you wanted. I like bumping the last 2-4 doses to 1000iu. Plan your last HCG dose 3 days before you start taking you PCT drugs.

Using Nolva and Clomid for PCT works great, when the doses are not too high. Your doses are too high. You do not need a full dose of Clomid and double the dose of Nolva. I'd suggest this..

Clomid: 25/25/25/25
Nolva: 20/10/10/10/10/10 (ED or EOD for the last week)

I'd also add in 6.25mg of Exemestane 2-3x per week during PCT. It will aid in boosting your Test levels. The low dose will hopefully keep your estrogen on the lower side of the healthy range.
 
Great advice guys, I think I will reduce the aroma, I have DIM on hand and was going to give it a go as well, possibly even reducing my need for so much AI even more.

I like the PCT suggestion too.

Stay tuned in the cycle log thread for my experience, been thinking of sharing it.

Thanks everyone.
 
One more question actually about the pct, I've seen some people only do Clomid or Nolva, I've decided to do both and will reduce the dose based the advice, how will aroma and nolva work differently? I thought the relatively work the same?

Thanks again.
