My first cycle -- please advise

[billy00987]

Hi Guys..

I've been a reader of these forums for a few years now and have finally decided that the time is right for my first cycle. I've decided to go for a test only cycle for 10 weeks. Below is how I plan to run my cycle although I would definitely like to have some input from members here. In particular with regards to Nolvadex usage for PCT as during my research I've found this to be particularly disliked by some members for pct whilst advocated as the only way to go by others.
Would clomid alone suffice for PCT or is Nolva a must given the fact I will be running 250iu x2 a week of HCG during cycle to make recovery easier.

Tri-Test only cycle
Week 1-10 = 400mg once a week
Week 1-13 = .5 mg ED Arimidex
Week 1-8 = 250iu hcg twice weekly
Week 1-13 = .5 - 1 mg finisteride ED (for prostrate protection)
Week 13 -16 = PCT
Clomid 100/60/60/40

Will be using an over the counter PCT by iron labs -- has excellent reviews and running Liver support supplement throughout ..,

Any input is welcomed

.5ed adex is pretty steep for only 400/wk test IMO. I go with .25 ed

And what's this about an "OTC" pct?!

 

[billy00987]

Well since I've found Nolvadex to be disliked and can cause some nasty sides, I was searching for an alternative pct whereby I stumbled across PCT extreme ( test booster) by iron labs. Of Course I was sceptical, however it has lots of positive reviews so might give it a try.

Will clomid be sufficient on its own? Is there a safer alternative to Nolvadex for pct?

Clomid should be sufficient on its own for only 400 mg a wk

I would run clomid and nolvadex for pct. I would also run your cycle 12 weeks. Nothing worse than the cycle really getting going and then it's time to shut down.

 

[billy00987]

Are there any safer alternatives I can run alongside clomid rather than Nolvadex?

Myself and my partner have both run just Clomid after 500-600 mg cycles. If anything just throw in some hc generate with pct to get you rolling 100% again faster
