[FONT="]OK.. So.. Per my post from a month ago (New to needles.. Pls talk to me) I followed the ?First Cycle and PCT? sticky in this forum and I started my first cycle 4 weeks ago; 250mg Test C 2x/wk (i.e. 500mg total) Sat am /Tues pm, plus 25mg DBol 2x/day (i.e. 50mg/day total) am/pm for first 4 week. i.e. I just finished the Dbol today.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I?m 6?2?, 46yrs old and (having just lost 50lb this past winter) I was 168lb on the 1st day of the cycle. I?m 192lb now (i.e. Up 24lb). Some of the weight gain will obviously be Dbol-related water retention, but still.. I?m super happy with the results. I look great. I?ve had no sides, other than a little acne which ha been easily fixed with some nice face wash, acne cream & clean pillow cases.[/FONT]

[FONT="]As I said previously, I was an avid body all-natural body-builder in my 30s, but tore my shoulder, broke my leg, got divorced, depressed, drank too much, got fat and lost a ton of muscle. However, I was a very lean (6-8% bf) 200lb in the past and I?d like to get back there, if possible.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I?m following an intermediate Rippetoe-style ?Starting Strength? program with some ancillary work (e.g. Chins & Rows). My diet is clean (Fruit, veg, meat, fish, whey, eggs, nuts, dairy & whole grains) with occasional bowls of ice-cream, averaging around 4,000cal daily. I?ve maintained a 32-33? waist through the weight gain, with abs visible if I crunch and shoulders still quite striated despite the water retention (so, probably, 10% bf?).[/FONT]

[FONT="]SO HERE?S THE THING?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I picked up some Equipose (EQ) recently and, since I?m only 4 weeks in, I?m tempted to take advantage of being shut down by running 150mg (2x/wk, i.e. 300mg total) with my Test C for the remainder of this cycle. I realize it?s a slow-acting steroid and ideally needs to be run for 16-20 weeks, which is longer than I?d originally planned to run this cycle, but is that really a problem? Could I maybe run some low-dose HCG for (say) 10 weeks in the middle of the cycle, so I?m not completely shut down the entire time? [/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I?m not concerned about sterility (I had a vasectomy in my early 20s) but am concerned about natural Test production resuming after the cycle. Again, following the ?First Cycle and PCT? sticky in this forum, I?m planning on HCG, Clomid & Nolva for PCT. However, the sticky says 2,500ui of HCG EOD for PCT. Is that right!? That seems high compared to what I?ve read elsewhere.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Finally, I?m currently taking 12?mg Aromasin EOD. If you guys think I?d be fine to extend the cycle and stack the EQ, do you have any thoughts on the correct Aromasin intake?[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]The way I figure it, if I lose (say) 10-12lb of Dbol-related water, that?d put me around 180lb. With 4-5mo of Test & EQ I could potentially pack on another 20lb, putting me right back to where I used to be, which would be lovely.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Any thoughts? Please & thanks.[/FONT]
