First cycle ever, please be nice
20-year-old male, 5’3, 55 kg, low body fat. I’ve been training on and off for over 2 years, but I’ve really been locked in these past couple of months. My diet, rest, and training are all on point.
My testosterone is 15.8 nmol/L, and I’m currently on thyroxine replacement at 50 mcg per day.
Compounds:
• Test E: 250 mg/week, split into 2 doses every 3–4 days
• HCG: 250 IU every time I pin
• HGH: currently 4 IU/day, have already been running it for 2 months
• Minoxidil 5%: 1 mL daily
• Finasteride: 0.5–1 mg only if needed
• Arimidex: 0.5 mg twice a week if needed
• Enclomiphene citrate for PCT
Plan:
Pre-cycle
• Baseline bloods
Weeks 1–4
• Test: 250 mg/week
• HCG: 250 IU x2/week
• Finasteride if shedding starts
• Minoxidil daily
• Arimidex only if symptoms are present
• HGH: 4 IU/day throughout the cycle
• Bloods at week 4 to make sure everything looks good
If test levels are within the expected range, I’ll increase Test to 500 mg/week.
Weeks 5–6
• Test: 500 mg/week
• Everything else stays the same
• Bloods again at week 6
If everything is still smooth, I’ll either continue at 500 mg or lower it to 250–350 mg depending on how things look and feel.
Weeks 6–10
• Continue the same regimen
End of week 10
• Final pin of Test
• Final dose of Arimidex
• HGH continues
• Minoxidil continues
Weeks 11–12
• HGH: 4 IU/day
• Minoxidil 5%: 1 mL/day
• Bloods at week 12
Weeks 13–16
• Enclomiphene citrate: 12.5 mg every day
• Minoxidil continues
• HGH continues
• Bloods at the end of week 16
Weeks 17–20
• Enclomiphene citrate: 12.5 mg every day
• Minoxidil continues
• HGH continues
Weeks 21–24
• Enclomiphene citrate: 6 mg every day
• Minoxidil continues
• HGH continues
• Last dose of Enclo at the end of week 24
• Final bloods at week 26
I’m planning to run HGH for at least a year, and minoxidil throughout the cycle to try to minimize hair loss. I’m also thinking about doing a mini cycle of IGF-1 LR3 after this cycle at 0.50 mcg/day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks.
