Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I'm in my 7th year of serious lifting, im 25 years old, 5'10" and 195 lbs. I'm keeping it simple for my first AAS cycle so I am just going to do 8 weeks of Test. Enth. @ either 250 or 500 week. I was wondering what type of PCT this would require. I've read drjmw's thread on proper PCT but I am uncertain if it is relevant for this cycle. Also, should I use Arimidex throughout? Thanks for any replies.
Need Help With First Cycle PCT

500 mgs testosterone for 8 weeks sounds like a solid plan.
Incoporate 0.5-1 mg arimidex ED during your cycle. This will prevent estrogen related side effects such as gynecomastia and water retention. By controlling estrogen during your cycle, you also prevent delays in recovery and unecessary fat accumulation which are both associated with elevated estrogen levels.
If you are prone to hairloss, incoporate 0.5 mgs Finasteride ED throughout your cycle. This minimizes/prevents the metabolism of DHT via the 5AR enzyme which is associated when using an aromatizing AAS such as testosterone.
Begin PCT one week after your last injection. This should consist of 1.000 IU's HCG 3x/wk (mon/wed/fri) in combination with 20 mgs Nolvadex ED for a total of 3 weeks. Discontinue HCG and continue with 20 mgs Nolvadex ED for an additional 2-3 weeks.
You should have blood work performed before begining your cycle to establish baseline values and post cycle to evaluate your recovery.
If you are unfamilar with blood work, please refer to the following thread:

No, but a combination of Arimidex and Nolvadex is another option. Basically, by adding Nolvadex, you can use a lower dosage of Arimidex. Systemic Estrogen isn't lowered as dramatically and there is now receptor specific protection. For the average cycle, something like 0.25-0.5 mgs Arimidex ED in combination with 10-20 mgs Nolvadex ED shoud prove to be sufficient.
