Pre cycle plan. Test-E
What’s up guys..
Here’s my plan for my first cycle..
I intend on tweaking this to the most autistic, giga specific way possible.. I am very precise when it comes to this, so bear with me, and please PLEASE give recommendations.
This a long ass thread, so if you’re not willing to read through, just want to let you know before hand..
Current stats:
5’10”,
155lbs,(Yes now you know why I’m hopping on),
2yrs max lifting experience, turning to the dark side as the 2 year results are suboptimal..
So let’s start with what substance I’ll be taking:
Testosterone Enanthate:
And a combination of other substances to counter risks/etc…
First thing I’ll do:
1, Pre cycle Blood work;
-Total + Free Testosterone,
-E2 Levels,
-L.H & F.L.H levels. (fertility)
-Prolactin
-CBC (includes Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Red blood cell cnt)
- Lipid Panel (cholesterol health: HDL, LDL, Triglycerides)
- PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)
- Liver Enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP)
- SHBG
Upon health confirmation:
Start Cycle:
Week 1-5
150-200mG Testosterone-E….
Pin 1-2xs a week(give your input on what’s better if possible, and whether I should start at 150 or 200mG)…
-Weekly blood pressure check, to monitor hypertension…
Week 6:
First on cycle blood panel
- E2
- CBC (Hematocrit / Hemoglobin, RBC, etc)
- Lipid Panel (HDL, LDL, Triglycerides)
- Total Testosterone (to confirm levels)
- Prolactin levels
Post week 6
Since I’m starting at 150/200mG, I might eventually increase dose with time.. input from the community would be helpful on when, how, etc.. likely I’d max out at 400mG eventually, first increase would be to 250-300mG… with of course a labatomy panel done 6 weeks post dose adjustments..
Post week 8:
Blood panels, Every 3 Months (Ongoing Monitoring)
- E2, Aiming for 73–183 pmol/L
- CBC / Hematocrit / Hemoglobin > Keep under 52%…
- Lipid Panel > Watch HDL, ideally >40 mg/dL and LDL.
- PSA
- Liver Enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin)
- Prolactin
-kidney panels(other than cbc, and controlling estradiol fluid retention, focus on
Glomerular Filtration (eGFR),
Waste Buildup (Creatinine & BUN),
Fluid Balance (Electrolytes),
Cystatin C levels…
I think the most important part is controlling hematocrit…
This reduces risk of chain reaction heart issues, that begin with high blood cell count, then hypertension, and eventually Left ventricular Hypertrophy, and heart attacks/failure etc…
Containing my estradiol will also avoid hypertension… and maintain kidney function…
Additional substances:
Dutasteride -preventative hair loss by shutting of production of Alpha-5 Reductase Enzyme, primarily in control of DHT production.
Isotretinoin- preventative Acne, will monitor liver enzymes as well when in this..
ACE Inhibitors: if experiencing high hematocrit, and hypertension, the introduction of ace inhibitors will be my likely first choice… potentially vasodilators in a more serious situation though unlikely..
Aromasin: for estradiol control. Preventative estrogen buildup, and anti fluid retention/puffiness/high blood pressure. Will also monitor liver enzymes..
HCG: 750-1000mG, for Fertility control… To temporarily replace Luteinizing Hormone and prevent shrinking of the scrotum and halting of spermetogenesis
Oxidative stress:
While on Testosterone enanthate over the long term, oxidative stress is certainly viabls, mainly affecting the liver for example..
-Plan to supplement N-Acetylcysteine for glutathione production to balance free radical and antioxidant balance.. mainly for liver control
-CoEnzyme q10: mitochondrial protection, and boosting heart health..
-Omega 3 Fish Oil high EPA/DHA, also mainly for liver stress control
-Magnesium, anti inflammatory and cellular health
-vitamin D, immune response and cellular health.
Not aware how long the cycle will be. Maybe 6mo minimum if all goes well…
PCT Plan:
Gradually reduce dose by 100mG every two weeks
Ex:
If ending at 400mg:
First reduction weeks 1-2: 300mG
Second reduction weeks 3-4: 200mG
Etc etc..
Once at 150mG doseage: mostly damage control…
-Continue hcG 1000-1500IU.
-Clomid– 50 mg daily for 4 weeks, then 25 mg daily for 2 weeks
-Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) – 20 mg daily for 4 weeks, then 10 mg daily for 2 weeks..
Let me know your thoughts, critiques etc, I’m still not hopping on tomorrow… this is obviously a draft for a cycle plan…
