First test cycle

[mindarchitect]

28 years old, 5'10, 175lbs, ~9% bf, lifting 13 years. I have one cycle experience under my belt, anavar only. I unfortunately didn't keep much if any of those gains, despite keeping a clean high protein diet and rigorous workout regimen. I interpret that to mean I was at my genetic limit before I entered the cycle . My goal this time around is to get some experience with test , add strength and mass, and keep gains longer.

This cycle will consist of each of the following twice/day for 10 weeks:
250mg test depot
15ml (1 tablespoon) fish oil
375mg liv52
300mg silymarin extract
multivitamin
10g creatine


Also before bed:
200mg ZMA
2g cissus
40g casein


PCT will begin 10 days after last injection and consist of 4 shots of 5000IU HCG over 2 weeks, 20mg nolva/day for 4 weeks.

Also taking .5mg Dutasteride and have some letro and arimidex on hand for any flare ups.

Will be using bill starr/madcow intermediate 5x5 as a cycle workout . Could've been the drug and not the workout , but it worked wonders last cycle , so in my opinion, if it aint broke don't fix it, therefore I'll be using the same this time.

HCG should be used during the cycle and up until you start SERM therapy, not during, as it in itself is slightly suppressive. Dosing it that high in a short timeframe isn't quite as good as spreading it out more duing the cycle (no more often than ever 3-4 days though).

I'm going to assume you meant injecting the test depot 2x a week and not 2x a day

I'm not sure if that is the best approach to a workout for gains on a test-based cycle, but Exercise Science isn't my forte, so I'll let others chime in there.
