Damn, too much info on the internet.
I'll start my cycle at the end of this month and give myself a month to researches.
I found out that 16 weeks for long esters is too much. 10-12 weeks are recommended.
Also for PCT here's a suggestion;
After the last injection, 4 days later, take 500ui pregnyl (hcg) for 10 days (5000ui in sum)
For Clomid and Nolvadex, starts 2 weeks after your last injection.
If you go for pregnly, you have to start right after the prengly injection. Clomid for 75-50-50-50 for 4 weeks and Nolvadex 40-20-20-20 4 weeks.
If you search long enough you can find whatever advice you want on the net.. Doesn't make it correct..!!!
We've done all this before in other posts in much greater detail, and posted up studys...!!!!! hCG creates further suppression IMO...
As for hCG: I don't understand why anyone would want to create another level of suppression in their HPTA? There is really no use for hCG, it desensitizes leydig cells in your testes to Leutinizing hormone so that when you eventually cease using hCG it takes a while for your testes to become sensitive to your own body's natural LH, thus prolonging your recovery. The use of hCG in males is limited to increasing fertility in HRT such that guys have enough viable sperm for their partners to conceive. When you are "shut down" your testes actually become more sensitive to LH due to receptor up-regulation. All that hCG will do is prolong your recovery......
As for Nolvadex: multiple studies suggest that 20mg/day is the best dosage to boost testosterone production with minimal side effects, this is the dosage pretty much every study published has used. There doesn't appear to be any benefit in going above that unless maybe you are doing a heavy aromatizable cycle. Even then you're better off tapering off everything.
Clomid I'd stick to 50mg, due to the possible side effects affecting your retina...
As far as cycle length is concerned: At about 8-12 weeks gains seem to plateau, it is suggested you then come off, as your gains thereafter are minimal to non existent unless you ramp up the dose (which you WON'T DO, because its your 1st cycle)... My argument is: you've taken 8-12 weeks to get so bloody big, why not stay there a while..lol
Sustanon: Because of the 4 esters attached to the steroid molecule:
Propionate (2 days).. 30mg
Phenylpropionate (2 days).. 60mg
Isocaproate (4.5 days).. 60mg
Decanoate (7 days).. 100mg
There is a possibility of creating a higher plasma spike from the 2 shorter acting esters, which may effect estrogen via aromatase.. Therefore it might be best to lower the dose, and pin more frequently... EOD..?? ..... Maybe every 3rd day...
