Hey guys,
I'm a 41 year old, 215 lb 6'2.5" 18% bodyfat guy here that's been in the gym about two and a half years, seriously considering my first cycle. Currently I only plan on one cycle, and determining future use based on my experience. I've done a good amount of research, have a basic plan down and would love some feedback. Feel free to tear apart, offer thoughts, experiences and suggestions - this is by far the most serious forum I've found, any feedback provided is greatly appreciated.
My plan:
Weeks 1–12: Testosterone cyp 250mg twice weekly, HCG 250iu twice weekly, arimidex .5mg every other day
Weeks 15–16: nolvadex 40mg daily, clomid 100mg daily
Weeks 17–18: nolvadex 20mg daily, clomid 50mg daily
blood work: pre, halfway, post
my current intake is around 3500 calories, plan on bumping to 4000 calories, mostly clean.
gym plan is 6 days a week, 1.5 hours a day, chest/shoulders, back/traps, arms, legs, splits, which has essentially been my training regimen for 1.5 years now.
Questions I've got:
I posted this on a couple of other forums, and received feedback stating at 41, I can expect that my testosterone levels will not rebound to where they're currently out, and I should consider blast and cruise, or getting on TRT afterward. I'd love feedback, well, on this feedback. Is there a chance of this happening? I don't know that I'll be doing another cycle, and I don't know that I want to have to go on trt because of one cycle, so this is concerning.
HCG is also something that's been questioned, whether it's needed or not. Thoughts?
What's the risk if I want to go 16 weeks instead of 12?
Do you feel this site's top three recommended sites for purchase are reputable? If you have other options or ideas, I'd take 'em.
I don't really find much feedback on whether to include any cardio while on cycle. I'd like to keep my gains as lean as possible. Thoughts?
Again, I want to make sure I'm doing this perfectly, so any feedback about the above will be super appreciated. Thanks a lot.
