I plan on running a very low dose(moderate) cycle.

I am 21 yo.

It is not TRT, I am to reach supraphysiological levels.

- 300mg test cyp

- small dose of oxandrolone/winstrol (not stacking orals at the same time).


My thought was to limit the drugs required for PCT. I do not plan on using clomid.

9 week cycle.


Estrogen control is the biggest concern I have.


My proposed PCT:


After 2 weeks of final T injection:

HCG for 2 weeks (high dose something like 1500 IU every 3 days) - Week 12-14

Then use tamoxifen for 2-3 weeks at 20/20/10  - Week 14-17


Should I keep using arimidex throughout my PCT ie. from week 1-9, through to week 17 (so from 1-17 essentially).

I do not want E2 to spike back up after my cycle and prefer dosing with arimidex as opposed to exemestane.


Any input is highly appreciated.


Most guys have suggested really high doses of clomid and can't seem to answer my E2 concerns for the PCT.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
