My Specific Case

My Specific Caseon: 2015-12-04 22:16:28Hey whats up Pro, looked through a lot of the questions and you are doing an awesome job. I have some specific questions for my case maybe you can give me some help. I plan on running Testosterone cypionate and an AI inhibitor for the first time along with HCG every week. I recently got tested and am at 450 ng/dl of test in my system. My stats are 20 years old 5'9 160 pounds 8 percent body fat and very good physique. I have been working out for 9 years now but want to take BB seriously and compete. Im planning to have my levels at 1200 ng/dl with no gyno and no side effects. I would like to always be at there so I am thinking about running 250 mg test a week. Any recommendations on what AI inhibitor will be best for me or if I even need one? Also would running 250 mg of test be enough, or will my body start needing more? Will test help me stay lean because I have had visible abs forever now and do not wanna lose them? Is it safe to run this cycle year round or will my body get used to the AI HCG and test? How much HCG should I run? Any other recommendations or insight is welcomed, thank you in advance

If you run test long term, you will shut down your natural production. Then you will depend on it, just to be in the normal range. This will be a life long commitment and can come with it's own set of side effects. For instance, you can become infertile. That may not be an issue now, but you are 20 years old. I'm sure you've experienced enough things in life to know that you cannot predict what you will want in 15 years. 450nl/dl is certainly on the lower end of normal, but if you can maintain this level between cycles, you can make good progress without needing to be on year round. I would suggest that you start by cycling test on and off, before you commit to long term use. 10-12 wks at 250-500mg EW, followed by PCT and then time off to regain natural production. Along with test, you can use an AI like arom at 25mg EOD to control estrogen Or adex at .5mg EOD.
As for your abs, it's all going to come down to diet. If you are 160 lbs now at 5'9, you have a lot of eating to do and it may require losing your abs for bulking phases. But you don't have to get fat in these bulking phases. Just add enough of the right calories to make the most progress in a given period. Then diet the fat off later.
Over time, as you get bigger and have gotten used to using a given dose, yes, you will get used to it. Gains will slow. Thats why coming off is a good idea. Eventually though, you will need more to make progress.
As for your HCG, I would start around wk 4 of your 10-12 wk cycle. I would inject 250-500iu 2x wk through the cycle and 2 wks beyond, up until you start PCT
