Hello, in about 2 months from now i am going on a first cycle and looking for advice and criticism, i'd like to introduce myself in detail with pictures, numbers, what i'd like to accomplish, how i plan to do things short and long term, much questions
Dont know to pose, dont like to take pictures of myself so dont have many, here are some from the last year 2017, from that time i did one more small bulk and right now i am cutting to that bodyfat and then i will start the cycle, gained some strength and maybe 1kg of muscle from that time last year but basically this is the look now, about 80kg or 180 pounds:
i dont want to be rude arrogant or whatever but if you are looking worse than me with AAS, or know everything just from what you read on internet, please, PLEASE do not give me any advice, just go back and continue browsing something else
I will hire one local guru just before the cycle, but want to hear other opinions and to be ready if he tells me to do something non-optimally, or even not hire him if the things are very simple.
Not looking to write a story, here are some hints about me that comes to my mind without any chronological order i think one should know when giving advice, much talking about myself with too much –me- myself- -I- so be ready , much thinking and concerning, criticize each hint if you have anything to say, good or bad,
-28 years old, in the gym almost 10 years, about 7 years with devotion, consistency and doing things right (at least i like to think so), gained about 15kg/30 pounds of muscle in that time, did about 6-7 bulks and cuts , in each i jumped about 20-30 pounds and then cut down. gains slowed down very much, im pretty much satisfied with the look, just want some size - that is the reason for going on a steroids (well testosterone only to be specific)
-height 178cm or 5ft 10,, weight about 80-82 kilograms or 180 pounds after the cut, looking to be about 90kg/200 pounds shredded with testosterone
-as far as strength goes, i dont do 1 repetition maximum, here are what i did for reps at 85kg/185 pounds bodyweight, bench 100kg/225 x13, deadlift 180kg/405 x10, squat 140kg/315 x13
-interested in testosterone only, other steroids are big no for now. I'd like to double what i gained naturally, gain (and know i can) about 12-15kg / 25-30 pounds in 3-4 months from testosterone and with how i plan to do things with food and everything. After each natural cutting season i gain about nice 5-6kg/12 pounds in 3 months after bump in the calories(carbs), with minor bodyfat increase, so i know i can jump twice or even three times as much with the help from injectable testosterone. Once again, not interested in anything else (MAYBE anavar one day), not reffering just to first cycle, im talking about that i am not interested in anything else in future cycles, i just want to continue doing bulks and cuts with added testosterone help. With that in mind, interest in testosterone only, should i even do –cycles- or just get on it and stay on it? As far as i know, staying on a testosterone is not a big deal, in the worst case scenario i can shut down my HPTA completely for life and to be in need for testosterone replacement therapy for life, but i dont see problem in that. i planned anyway going and staying on TRT for life after the age 40, for quality of life, to depend on one shot of testosterone enanthate /week is not a big deal. But my major concern with staying on it is follows:
-my major concern is fertility, i want to be able to impregnate woman one day normally, i want to have children. altough from what i researched i shouldn't be worried much, i should be able to just come off the testosterone, take some time off and everything should be working good again because testosterone is mild drug and not strong supressor, right? Maybe just add some hcg when fertility /pregnancy is wanted.
-plan is testosterone enathate, i have quality pharmaceutical grade, 500mg weekly, for 12 to 16 weeks depends on should i even cycle?and will the gains continue after 12 week period.
- not interested in just 10 pounds water gain from testosterone which im gonna lose after i get off it (like many do because they keep other bodybuilding factors the same), so i will bump up my food on a cycle. back in the day when i was 70kg/155 of muscle my caloric needs (maintenance) were about 2500 calories, now with 82kg/180 pounds it is 3500 calories. With that in mind and that i want to be 90kg/200+ pounds with testosterone, logically i should bump up my food also. Right now i am cutting, when i get to the bodyfat from the pictures i will get on maintenance calories and shot testosterone. Monday/Thursday, each 250mg. I heard testosterone enanthate takes long to kick in, so i wont bump up the food immediately from the shot, plan is to bump up the food/get in caloric suficit from the week 4, about 21 days from the shot, jump to 4000 calories and each week i plan to add 100 calories, that way i will make continuous muscle gains (without plateauing about week 6 from feeling the medicine which many experience), so after 12 weeks from the shot and start of feeling the testosterone i will be eating about 4800-5000 calories and preferrably be about 12kg/25 pounds heavier. I dont mind going slight up in bodyfat, my estimation is that my bodyfat on the pictures is 8-10%, i dont mind getting to 15% with 15kg/30 pounds more after the cycle.
-starting from that week 4/4000calories my macros are planned 300g protein, 100g fat, 500g carbs. Adding carbs for that 100kcal weekly bump. Altough i think i tolerate carbs good, i dont know can i be eating too much of them, can 700g carbs daily be too much and cause some water retention problems? Or should i stay on 500g carbs and add fats.
-ESTROGEN. This is big question. Should i be concerned with estrogen? Some say with this low bodyfat that i wont have any problems and that i shouldnt take anything. But possibility is always there. I remember my nipples was hurting back in the 6th grade when i was about 12 years old for one period when puberty kicked in, maybe this is the sign that i am predisposed for problems with gyno.
Should i take arimidex 0.25mg every other day no matter what from the beggining, or just in the case of some side effects? I read something about that arimidex or aromateze inhibitor can lower the muscle gains in the cycle. I supplied myself with arimidex, nolvadex, letrozol, dont have aromasin, hcg, clomid. Is taking arimidex 0.25mg every 3rd day or twice a week (with testosterone shots) bad, beacuse it stays active about 50hours? Estrogen fluctuations in the case of low frequency arimidex?
- After the cycle, if i decide to do that way and not stay on that dose or 250mg cruise, what then? Some people told me that i even dont need PCT, that the cycle is mild and that i will recover just fine without anything. Others say that PCT is must have and that those first people are crazy. Both have valid arguments. So i planned to do something in between, from the week 5 (starting 29 day) from last shot of testosterone enathate (because it stays in the system for so long) start taking nolvadex only , 20mg every day for 1 month. Then take one more month without anything and then repeat the process of 500mg testosterone. Is that fine?
-as far as food goes after the cycle, i plan to continue eating 5000kcal daily, that way muscle loss should be minimum, just lower protein from 300g to 200g and bump up the good fats, also lower the carbs from 700 to 500g but with fats for exchange for calories.
-as far as blood work goes, i dont have money to do everything frequently every 1-2 months as it is reccomended because it is crazy expensive here, but i can do estradiol only, or some other thing, lh or fsh. By the way here are my natural blood work, im concerned that they didnt use sensitive assay for the estradiol?
