Cycle Help

Hello! I have been reading threads on this forum for over a year now, and finally joined. First off, great forum. Lots of good info here.

I am posting because I have a few questions.
First off, some stats. When I started lifting in 2007, I weighted 144.

Age:24
Years lifting:6
Height: 5’11"
Weight: 191
BF%: 14 (a month ago)

I currently eat between 3200-3400 clean cals a day, split into six meals plus two protein shakes.
I lift 5 days a week, two days on, one off, repeat.

This will be my second cycle, and I am curious about a few things. I am looking to KEEP 12-15 lbs all said and done.
I will up my cals to about 3800 cals by adding another meal.

Week 1-12 Test E 250mg Monday morning, Thursday evening
Week 1-12 Arimidex .25 EOD (gyno and bloat prevention)
Week 15-18 Clomid 10,100,50,50

I also have HCG on hand, and can get Nolva.
There seems to be MUCH debate on how and whether to use HCG. I also have talked to some veterans that say Clomid will suffice without Nolva, and some say both.

Should I pin the HCG sporadically throughout the cycle? (every 3 weeks, 3 times EOD)
…or should I use it throughout, with a “blast” at the end of the test?

I really appreciate your knowledge and ability to help guide me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Run the adex in the two weeks between cycle and pct, tapering down the last week. I would use the hcg, it makes recovery easier. I’ve ran without it and have been fine but I prefer it. Run the hcg 250iu 2-3x a week stopping 5 days before pct, no need to blast at the end.

You can use Nolva or clomid or both its up to you
