This will be my second cycle (first cycle was over 5 years ago). I'm 26 yo, 5 foot 6 inches tall, 175 pounds, and 10.5% BF (measured in a lab a few days ago so it is accurate). I got my blood taken and hormone labs ordered a few days ago also, so I'll know where all my baseline levels are when I get the results in a few days.
I am not trying to gain a whole lot of mass with this cycle. I am seeking to gain strength, around 5+ pounds of quality muscle, and decrease bodyfat % to around 8%. I also do Crossfit and want my performance to increase in that as well, so it is important that my cardio not go in the shitter and that I not get disabling pumps that prevent me from completing a workout. I understand diet and training play a huge role in determining the results I will get, so I'll take care of things on that end; I also will be taking advantage of the decreased recovery time and will be training my ass off. As far as my cycle goes, however, I would like some input.
I plan on running this cycle for 8 weeks utilizing a relatively low-dose of test propionate as my base and a moderate amount of anavar as my primary anabolic. I plan to structure the cycle like this:
Weeks 1-8: 50mg Test Prop EOD
Weeks 2-8: 50mg Anavar ED
Weeks 1-8: HCG 250iu 2x/week
Weeks 1-8: 1/4cc (6.25mg) Aromasin EOD
PCT:
Week 9: HCG 1500iu 2x/week
Week 9: 50mg Nolvadex ED
Weeks 10-12: HCGenerate
Weeks 10-11: 50mg Nolvadex EOD
Week 12: 50mg Nolvadex E3D
Now I bought more than enough product to cover this cycle (my philosophy in this case is that it is better to have too much of something than not enough), so I have room to adjust dosages upward if needed. I am especially curious as to thoughts about how much Aromasin I ought to take to keep my estrogen levels in check and if 6.25mg ED is a good starting point with the relatively mild dose of 175mg/week test prop and 500iu/week HCG or is that too much and should I start with 6.25mg EOD? I did notice from my first cycle (10 weeks Test E @ 500mg/week) that I am sensitive to estrogen and am susceptible to gyno. Finally, am I dosing my HCG correctly? Any other inputs are welcome, as I am very open-minded at this point.
Also, before anyone asks why I want to run the Test P at such a relatively low dose, it is because from my experience with my first cycle of 10 weeks Test E @ 500 mg/wk, I think it raised my RBC too high and made my blood too viscous, which caused my cardio to go to shit (I didn't run any labs at the time so I have no way to confirm this). Also, I have had some experience with prohormones in the past and I simply believe that my body is fairly sensitive to the effects of androgens, so I believe it is better to start low and increase dosages upward if necessary. Also, I am curious as to why most everyone recommends doing at least 100mg of Test Prop EOD when 50mg EOD should still raise blood serum testosterone levels to 2.5 - 3x over baseline (assuming natural endogenous testosterone produciton is 6 - 8 mg/day); why is it necessary to increase levels to 5x+ over baseline to really get a strong effect?
