Hi Guys - so I won't go into too much history, but I was clinically diagnosed for low T and GH, so I started Test Cyp October 2016, and had about 4 weeks of HGH in December.
These were both doctor prescribed, so very low doses at 100mg Cyp/week, and 1iu HGH 5 days a week. I know, weird dosages and protocol, but I was just following my doctor's initial instructions, as so far he's the only doc I've been able to find that's progressive (living in a 3rd world country).
I upped my dose to 2iu HGH ED for about a week, and definitely felt great! Only problem was that I ran out already, and am still waiting for an order to arrive LOL!
Anyhow, I just received an order of Test Cyp 250mg strength, and waiting on an HGH order, hoping it'll arrive any day now - 360iu's.
My source was suggesting NPP, and I'm interested because (aside from the anabolic) of the effect it has on bones, ligaments, tendons etc - as I've had some serious injuries and surgeries.
I then came across HeavyIron's awesome post on First Cycle and PCT - and am now leaning towards keeping it simple for my first cycle, though I'm still leaning towards it. Separately, I'll post the "proposed cycle" from my source, which I'm still considering.
I just got blood works done, results coming in 2 days.
Goals:
My health suffered a LOT last year, and I've only recently been able to start working out again, need to drop about 15% body fat, initially - and obviously want lean mass gains. I'm 6'1, currently about 220lbs, very little muscle, and at about 25-29% body fat, depending on which measuring method I use.
Ultimately, I'd like to get OPTIMIZED, ripped, see my abs for the first time in my life, and just have overall better strength and size.
Here's What I'm Thinking:
Cycle Time: 8 weeks
Test Cyp: 500mg/week (250mg pinned Mondays and Thursdays)
HGH: 3iu/day (7 days a week - still undecided if I'll split that into 2 doses/day)
Ancillaries: Here's where I'm quite confused, and unsure. My doctor prescribed me 1mg Anastrozole/day when I first started TRT, as my E2 was like 125. I've seen protocols like in HeavyIron's post of 10mg Aromasin, which I believe is Anastrozole. What confuses me, is that the Anastrozole I have is in capsule form, can't be split. This would mean taking 10 x capsules/day - sounds like an insane amount?
PCT: Also not so clear on this one. I have some Clomid that another doctor sold me, but I never used it due to getting on TRT.
I haven't seen much about HGH while on cycle, nor have I seen much about people on TRT doing a cycle - which would mean the PCT is different, correct? Because I'd still be shooting 100mg-200mg Test Cyp per week, even when off cycle.
Your thoughts?
