6'2" 210 ~12% bf looking to add about 10-15# of LBM.

Age? Cycle experience? Years training?

I'd bump the test up to 500 mg a week, I've never seen anyone run HCG like that before either bro, doesn't mean it's wrong though lol just never heard of it.

How would you run it?

48. Training 3 years. First cycle. Good gains but reaching natural max potential.

I'd run the test 500mg a week split into 2 shots of 250mg the adex .5mg eod to every 3 days as needed and the HCG I probably wouldn't even run it with a test only cycle, but if I were to run it with a test only cycle I would use probably 500-1000iu every other day after the last injection leading up to the pct

It was laid out for me by a pretty notable expert.

Lol well I was just trying to tell you what probably most of the people on this board would 500mg is sufficient, and giving you my personal opinion..

Id run the hcg 500 iu weekly , 250iu per shot

Not trying to be a dick, but then why question it or ask for opinions?

Just asking, seriously. Not trying to be an a-hole.

400mg test is a tad low if say 500mg also

I would also bump test to 500 weekly split into 2 injections weekly 250 each injection. Space injections evenly throught the week to prevent major spikes and dips in your levels. But I'm not a notable expert so do what you will.

I'm assuming you is 200 mg per ml that's why you have it at 400 a week work out to a monday Thursday injection schedule. The hcg looks good to me but some guys are of the opiinion it's not necessary, it's totally up to you as long as you understand how it works. At a lower dose of test like this your adex dose looks perfect. I'd say it's bang on for a first cycle. If your gains slow down it's easy to up tour test but with clean receptors I think you will be very happy with the results. What is your Pct?

No problem man. I anticipated the question. As good as anyone is, the old saying goes: "none of us are as smart as all of us." Just trying to take in others viewpoints.

Still working on that piece. What would you recommend?

For PCT I would save Nolva 40/20/20/20 or Clomid 100/50/50/50 some people swear by clomid some by nolva i've used both with success different strokes for different folks

Cant go wrong with clomid 100/75/50/50 I like proviron at 50 mg for whole cycle and Pct but it's not necessary.

clomid+aromasin is the best pct imo, also i would still recommend dropping the hcg to 500iu a week spread into 2 diff shots, just shoot them the same day as your test, 250iu every other day is unneeded for such a mild cycle, plus why shoot yourself eod if you can do it twice weekly?

400mg/wk is fine if that is how your gear is dosed. There is no need to bump to 500mg.

You do not want to run hcg eod on cycle, so the "notable expert" that told you that is wrong. As stated above you want to run hcg 250iu x2 per week at a 400mg weekly test dose. HCG will raise estrogen levels, so running it eod is a bit much while on cycle.

A-dex is fine for on cycle anti-e, though I prefer aromasin especially during PCT, as it has a positive effect on IGF-1 levels and will prevent estro rebound. It is run 12.5mg eod on cycle and 25/25/12.5/12.5 during PCT, should you choose to use it.

Clomid is also the PCT drug of choice, as Nolva has been shown to negatively effect IGF-1 levels, which is the last thing you want to happen during your PCT.

Cycle looks about perfect to me and I am your age. I do the hCG just like that and it works very well. AI looks good too. At our age one thing to keep an eye on is your red blood cells. We tend to make more than younger guys when on androgens and it is dose dependent. See Bhasin's articles in pubmed. I donate blood every 8-12 weeks to stay in normal range. Otherwise it's a good solid middle age man super TRT kind of cycle. I do this kind of thing on and off and maintain a mid 500s squat and dead lift and a 385-400 lb bench at 49 yoa. You have to keep in mind tht androgens open the door for growth. The rest is diet, training and rest. The door is open for growth with a little AAS. In fact I feel great just on 200 mg and even a true replacement dose of 100-150 mg hs me feeling 15 years younger. At our age the door is starting to close for good naturally so a little bit of androgen goes a long way to feeling vital, productive and strong.
