Nice 1st cycle.
Nolva + Armidex are the same = anti-aromatase and I agree w/graffix.

IMO what you may look @ is keeping your nuts from shutting down on a cycle longer than 8 weeks (including half life, test eth 10 days) - HCG and or Clomid.
I have also heard things about Finasteride (also known by the brand names of Proscar and Propecia) for help combating the Test from turning into DHT and it is cheap.
(keep a journal and share ur knowledge w all the newbies).

I am on a caloric deficient diet right now trying to cut from around 239lbs and 14-15% BF down to around 200-205lbs and 10% BF. Diet is on par...consume around 1400 calories per day and about 220 grams of protein. Just for an example, yesterday's ratio was 61/24/15 (protein/carb/fat). I use fitday to help track my food consumption.

Would it be wise to use the Dbol on my first cycle since I'm not sure how my body is going to respond to the Test E??

If I was to only run an 8 week cycle would the HCG or Clomid still be needed or could I get away with just the Nolva?? My wife is on Clomid for fertility issues and I've seen her side effects and I don't want any part of the headaches, blurred vision, and hot flashes.

NAH, stay with 10 week cycle just keep stuff on hand ready to go if you need it. (the Half life of the test Eth is 10 days.so 8 weeks = 9-10)

OK...about to place my order....so if I have Nolva on hand, I don't need the arimidex right??

Yes you need the adex u need to take it at .5 eod and keep taking it in you pct nolv is just if you start having sign of gyo

[sam1976 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sam1976]

yes, i would use it, especially if you're dieitng. if you're dieitng, you want to control estrogen and keep it lower. as you said, .5mg EOD would be good. higer levels of estrogen will make it a lot harder to lose fat. even if i'm not dieting, i like to use a low dose of adex to keep more of my test from converting to estrogen. that way, i have more test in my system. especially for dieting though, adex is going to help.

i would cut adex out when pct starts and use the nolvadex.

i would not use dbol as suggested before. if you were trying to bulk, then yes, but for cutting, no.
