Cycle Advice to Keep Maximum Gains Post Cycle

Hi there.

I have done two cycles before in the last 2 years, first one was Test Prop only for 8 weeks, and the second one was Test, Tren and Winny for 10 weeks. I also finished my PCT on both cycles with Nolva and Clomid and ran Arimidex at 0.5mg EOD on cycle to avoid aromatization.

I am considering starting a new cycle now for recomp. I am currently 15% BF at 165 lbs. I have naturally cut down around 8 lbs in the last 8 weeks. My goal is to add some lean mass while getting extremely ripped. This is how it looks like right now.

Test Prop: Week 1-4: 50 mgs EOD. Week 5-11: 100 mg. EOD.
Tren A : Week 1-9: 100 mgs. EOD.
Arimidex: Week 1-11: 0.5mg EOD (I bloat very bad even with 50 mg prop).
Caber : 0.25 mg every 3rd day (Only if i see signs of gyno, which i am pretty sure would be due to prolactin activity from Tren, as i am already managing E2 from Prop through Arimidex).

The reason I am running the Tren for an odd number of weeks rather than 8 or 10 or 12 is so that I am able to use up all the gear that I will be getting. So I could stop Tren at 8 weeks, but might as well pin the remaining 2 ampules that i will be left with.

I have decided to run Test for two more weeks after my last Tren shot.

Now, my biggest concern is to be able to keep the gains after the cycle, as sadly in both my previous cycles, i pretty much lost 60-70% of my gains after PCT - though my PCT was on-point. I am therefore considering throwing in IGF-1 LR-3 and HCG during cycle but i am not quite sure as to what dosages I should be running them on and of their effectiveness in keeping gains post cycle based on your experience. I read that IGF-1 during PCT is also helpful in keeping your gains.

Can you guys advice me on how I can (if i should) incorporate IGF-1 in my PCT and IGF-1 and HCG in my cycle as I have no experience using either of them, though I understand their function, I'd need some help with working out the dosages and during what part of my cycle should I begin taking them.

Thanks!
 
Sorry man, your post was moderated due to getting caught in auto spam filter, sorry about that , it shouldnt have, and now is approved and public for all to see.

Welcome to MC and good choice using HCG throughout, and I like tren ace prop combo. Im not a fan of tren higher than testosterone, but many guys run it safely this way. Best of luck to you my man, and sorry i couldnt be more specific, its hard to type on cell phone while fighting autocorrect. but im sure the guys here can help out just as well

Thanks man, that's fine. Hopefully others can weigh in with their advice. Cheers.
 

Thank you bro. But this is an ever changing field with new studies all the time. My post you linked is great but the only thing I’d change about it is runnin the HCG though the whole cycle instead of waiting to the last 6 weeks to start it. But tomorrow I’ll be pulling my bloods so the real Proof will be in the results and I’ll definitely post them up.

Solid advice bro. Can you link me the thread or subforums where you will be posting your bloodwork report, so i'll know which one of the two ways is better. I really don't mind doing it for the entire cycle, but i also believe less is more.

Also, I never had any testicular atrophy in either of my previous two cycles. What does that say?
 
You have some sound advise right here brother. Everyone responds differently, so just be aware of how your body responds.
