As far as HCG goes you want to run that the last 5-6 weeks of your cycle so that means if your gonna go 12 weeks you would run HCG weeks 6-12. You want to stop HCG and test the same week because the HCG is suppressive just like the test but it will get your balls back up to size and function before you start your PCT if your gonna run your test prop the last two weeks then Start your PCT 6 days after your last injection if test E the two weeks.
Why would you run the Test prop the last two weeks are you trying to go the the last two weeks on prop so it will clear your system faster and PCT can begin sooner?
Since its your first cycle. I would keep it simple and
run the test E for the whole 12 weeks at 500mgs a week.
That's two injections a week.
If you use test P in the first two weeks instead of the last
It would t be to much because you would dose it at 500 or 400mgs a week and the same when you switch to the test E your weekly dosage would stay the same on either test.
Test P will be active quicker in your system due to the short ester that's why most people use it in the beginning
of a cycle to kick start.
Exactly, the P is so that i can start a PCT faster (yes i realize the E will still have a presence in the system, but, I am trying to condense it , So I can not be using anything after w16.
I'm just throwing in the P because I had acess to it, and operating under the assumption that i can get started on the pct faster..
Regarding the HCG, from what im reading (and since because its cheap and i have a good amount) running it at around 100 ed would be ideal as to not desensitive your balls to LH, at the same time maintaining testicular volume and function.. but because of the size of the bottles and syringe sizes, having slightly higher concentrations is more feasible.. (are you saying that week 1-5 your balls arent shrinking down to peanuts yet?)
As I've not dipped in to this shit before, the thought of my balls shrinking scares me a bit... and the amount of time it would actually take them to recover to normal function. Im also operating under the assumption that used properly AAS and carefully, will not permantly damage you (most of the time).
BTW, tks everyone for the feedback sofar
