Hey guys,
I've been browsing these forums for quite some time now. Finally think I'm ready to begin my first cycle after seriously weighing my reasons. Some background: I've been working out since I was 16 - very consistent throughout high school, not so much thru college until my final year. But this past year I've made serious lifestyle changes. My diet is in check, I eat very clean (organic whole foods), and spare no expense for quality here. Every morning I detox and fast, begin feeding around 3-4pm is best for me, minus my pre workout and whey protein which is about an hr pwo. My training has dramatically changed as well. I used to do more of a bodybuilding style, but have really simplified things. Basically goes chest - legs - back - delts/arms -legs again. Higher reps, short intense sessions.
My problem and main reason (I have many reasons but this is a lengthy post and I don't want to write a novel) is I want to be able to do more. I like to workout every day, at least to some degree, and not only do I get burned out, but I feel like my body simply can't digest and assimilate the extra food in order to grow. Especially since I prefer to fast during the day so Im consuming all my calories from ~4-10pm. If I don't, and i eat more frequently, not only do I feel tired, sluggish and cognitively impaired, but I lose my appetite completely.
My stats: I'm 24 years old. about 6'1 180 pounds, very lean, can't provide an accurate bf% as I've never been tested (I've always been quite "light," a lot lighter than I think I look, idk small joints or something).
I got some testoviron (test e) I'm planning on running a 12 week (250mg, 2x/week) cycle. I honestly want to keep everything as basic and only as necessary as possible, meaning I don't want to be taking many supplemental substances. I don't want to run hcg on cycle, nor do I want to run arimidex, altho I did get my hands on both just in case. I also have clomid and nolva. I want to run both clomid and nolva pct, no AI, no hCG preceding my pct etc. My questions are the dosing and routine for my pct. Ive read a lot of different approaches and want to know what is best for my beginner/moderate cycle? Originally I just wanted to do one and try the other next time around, but now I think I want to use them both. I read about people alternating clomid/nolva week to week, or even day to day? Any suggestions on the most non-bs simple but effective way to go? I feel like with stickies and guides I've read it seems quite generalized, so I'm also uncertain about dosage. For example, there seems to be a range in dosage from what I've gathered (e.g., for clomid, some say begin pct at 150mg, others 100mg, etc).
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated :)
sorry for the long ass post I always think some background info is good hehe ;)
