Hey guys, long time reader but just getting a bit more involved in the community. Question regarding any potential recommendations for a next cycle. I've ran 3 cycles over the last two years, but the first was an orals only cycle I'm not proud of - it was recommended and monitored by a 'trusted' friend with what I thought was quite a bit of experience but based on all my research since probably not a good idea. It was only 4 weeks though.
2nd and 3rd were the same, test e 500mg/wk for 12 weeks. Nothing else. Didn't have any real issue with sides that wasn't manageable with .5mg arimidex 2x/wk. PCT I ran nolva 10mg ED for 6-8 weeks. Had clomid on hand but didn't use it.
I consider myself more prone to acne than not, and didn't have any issues during the cycle, but would get some bacne during PCT, suggesting to me that protocol could be improved to keep hormones more in balance post-cycle. Or maybe its inevitable given hormones are out of balance and I'm trying to get back to normal... Theres a shit ton of opinions on PCT so its hard to hone in.
I'm having a hard time determining what a good intermediate cycle would be. Most everything I read on here and elsewhere seems pretty advanced so I'm wondering if anyone would have recommendations.
Current stats / goals: Currently 27yo, 6'3", 190lb, 11% body fat. Next intermediate goal is to be sub 10% BF at 205+ lbs.
Thanks for any and all recommendations.
