2nd cycle suggestions

[Invicta1]

33, 6'1" 200# bf 8-9%, 32"w currently

Pre-1st cycle worked out regularly 4-5x/wk for 4 yrs somewhat of a had gainer
First cycle was a straightfwd test E 250/wk with 15lb gain with no gyno, minimal if any bloat, clean diet 3-4k cal, no booze retaining close to all gains thus far.

Goal still to add more mass, wondering if a 2nd cycle of test 500 + dbol would be reasonable? Anyone think differently or suggest any alternate stacks?

How long ago was your last cycle?

About 1 month ago, I still plan to be off for another 2 months... just thinking ahead.

I'd use the same dose again (250mg/week), if your not getting gains bump up the dose. I always like to kick start my cycles with d-bol, just to get things going, 30mg/day works for me anything more causes too much pain in my lower back.

Make sure you get time ON = time OFF

What kind of test are you considering for your next cycle? short of long esters?

How about this:

Test Cyp 400mgs EW---- Week 1-16
Dbol 50mgs ED ------- Week 1-4

if you had good gains last time with test at 250mgs then keep it at that and add the dbol 30-40mg for 4 weeks in the begining or middle of cycle.
if it aint broke, dont fix it

Thanks for all the replies, yep, time off will at the minimum equal time on if not longer... I was considering running a long ester test again (not a big fan of pinning prop/sust so frequently) + a kickstart with dbol. My only concern was I keep hearing your gains are always best on first cycle so perhaps running 250 again won't work as well? Cycle 1 was 10 wks btw.

u are already adding dbol which is one of the strongest orals you can run.
if you are unhappy with your gains by week 5 or 6 then bump your test up a little.
dont start playing the "dose" game on your second cycle. What you eat and how you train will affect your gains more than just how much gear you take

I agree with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

If I'm worried about my hairline what should I consider taking dbol out of the equation?

you mean you wnt to replace dbol with something else?

 

[Invicta1]

Sure, just wondering what you might suggest if I didn't want to use dbol for fear of excess shedding...
