Cycle Advice

[whatsgood]

Just wanted a critique of the cycle I'm considering.....

I'm a newbie, 30 years old, 215 lbs and about 15% bodyfat. I'm an retired college football player when I played at about 205 and around 6% bodyfat. I've gotten older, fatter and lost a lot of strength but want to get back to old form or better. I'm a very healthy eater.

For my 1st cycle (a 10 weeker)
Deca at 400mg/week
Test E at 500mg/ week.
I also have plenty of Nolvadex on hand.

What do you think? I was thinking about adding a little D-bol for weeks 1-4. Do you think that is overkill for the 1st cycle? Also I was thinking about some HCG at 500iu every 4th day to maintain the testes.

I haven't started yet but was planning to start in a couple a weeks from now. I've learned so much from this site and feel pretty confident but want some feedback before I commit to the "dark side" Any comments, good or back would be greatly appreciated. So let them rip......

One more thing, I've been supplementing with Creatine, multi-vitamins and good old Muscle Milk. Plan on contiueing that regime. I do a 5 day a week AM workout where I drink green tea and Muscle Milk Pre-W/O. Any thoughts?

Your cycle will definately work. Looks like you did your research. That being said generally for a first cycle you are better off using 1 drug only (test). This way you will know how your body is reacting to that drug. For example if you get signs of gyno during your cycle was it caused by the test (estrogen) or deca (progesterone). You combat the two differently.

Alot of guys for their first cycle will run test jumpstarted with 4 weeks of d-bol. When I run 500mg of test/wk I run l-dex/a-dex @ .5mg eod. This helps to keep the bloat off.

I assume you have your PCT in order.

Good luck with the cycle!!

Appreciate the response. Yeah, that's what I thought. The deca could hide the sides so I wouldn't know exactly how to treat. Good, I'll just run the Test and the d-bol weeks 1-4 so I can monitor better and know how to treat, just in case. Thanks. Any thought about the HCG?

I think that that is a great idea. Being methodical and really understanding what is going on I believe in the long term will yield better results as well as being safer

There are a ton of ways to run it. There is a sticky at the top of the page that outlines all of them. I personally run it midway through my cycle 500 iu/day for 10 days and again prior to clomid therapy again for 10 days @ 500 iu/day. I read somewnere that running it for extended periods (every 4 days for cycle length) can damage your leydig cells. I do not know if there is any truth to this but I figured why chance it.
