Hey bro, good questions. You will not adapt to this cycle in a 12 wk period. For the fist 4-5 wks, the hormone is still building up. You will gain water first of course, then the weight gain will slow. Its up to you to eat right and train very hard, no matter where you’re at. If you wanted to add in Dbol at 25-30mg for 6 wks or NPP at 50 to 100mg EOD, these will make the cycle stronger but it will still come down to how hard you work and your diet. I would stay away from deca for now. EQ will give you the same benefits and is less likely to shut you down as hard. For on cycle estrogen management, arimidex is my choice. Dosing will depend on what your personal body needs. Labs are the best way. .5mg to 1mg EOD is pretty normal. HCG will only help ensure you recover. I would start that during the cycle at 250-500 iu every 3 days, up until you do PCT
