I am planning my first cycle starting with 200 mg of Test E or C spread into two doses per week.
I've been doing different forms of weightlifting for 5-6 years, not that all years count. I would say that the real structured training phase has been only the past 1,5 years with proper workout plan, recovery and diet, however most of it was recomposition.
Currently sitting at 13-14% bf, doing my real first caloric surplus cycle since I started working out properly - back then it was either in deficit or maintenance at most.
Of course body dysmorphia catched up and I'm utterly dissatisfied with my current sleeper build, deeply craving a more massive look.
I track everything - macros, sleep, supplements (currently Omega 3, Zinc, K2+D3, Magnesium, Creatine). I do macro timing to a level of obsession. Tracking all my lifts, created my own app to track progressive overload and weight progress, protocols and recovery in order to keep them in line and test current strategy.
I already had a blood test with all the necessary markers, basically giving a "green light" for the test cycle, which means everything is in an optimal range (so it's time to screw them up).
Being an analytical person I would track the planned 12-16 weeks cycle with the same attitude. Planning to do HCG alongside after the first 2-3 weeks of the cycle. Would keep an AI at hand. And would prepare for the PCT (stacking the necessary items)
But the question remains. Is it worth it? I like controlling variables but I'm rather terrified of life changing choices of this kind and if it can get out of control, however I deeply want the results it "might" give. Just to put into perspective I don't smoke, drink or do (and did) anything else and very conscious when it comes to anything that goes in or on my body. But it seems that the desire is stronger than sense with this matter.
