Personally, I don’t think you are going to need the nolva. I would take it out for now, have it on hand, and only use it if you don’t feel fully recovered at week 21. If you do this cycle the way you have it set up, you should have great gains and zero crash.
Also, lots of guys will say don’t use the arimidex unless you “need” it because it will hinder gains. I’m not one of those guys. I’m using a lowish dose of adex on my current cycle and making fantastic gains (in Week 5 and my weight is up 15lbs while my bodyfat has decreased about 3%). I would start out with .25mgs E3D and see how that treats you.
I like this cycle for a first. Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes!

Dave, just out of curiosity, what’s your reasoning for dropping the tribulus.
Not saying you are wrong, or right for that matter, I’d just like to know your reasoning.
I have an opinion on this, I just want to see what factual evidence you have to back up your reasoning. I’m being a devil’s advocate if you will…

being as i am no scientist i cant give u a text book answer but i have read in several books, as well as some online info and its my understanding that Although trib boosts natural test, it is suppressive to it at the same time. this is the reasoning behind cycling trib.
Cortes- I will definitely be keeping a log in another thread.
what about kick starting my cycle with 3 or 4 weeks of superdrol? it’s readily available and I’ve gotten great gains before… since the ester is long, wouldn’t it be good to kick it off?

Wow, so I guess that means it must not do a damned thing at all then? If it boosts it and then suppresses it, wouldn’t it just be sort of canceling itself out?
Here’s the deal with Trib: think of it as a less potent form of HCG. Both are used to increase LH. However, in both cases, the more you use it, the more desensitized your leydig cells become to it; meaning you’ll produce less and less test compared to the same amount of LH. When your body is just starting to pump out its own LH again, the last thing you need is desensitized leydig cells.

Hopefully that made sense, it’s awful late here.[/quote]

That’s what I was looking for Dave to reference, good call Schmazz.
No one should be taking advice from Dave. Period. He suggested that someone take 1.5ml of of humalog, in other words:
HE SUGGESTED USING 150IU OF INSULIN!!!

i know absolutely nothing about insulin so please find that post to show us all cause i never wrote that. And was i right? should he be taking trib during pct??
Right there is where you suggested 150iu of insulin.
Using trib towards the end of PCT is actually not all that bad of an idea. I’d stay away from it during a stasis period, but during the taper it could definitely help, at least that has been the case in my experiences.
Also, during the last week of a SERM based PCT, tribulus could help.
For some reason I have jaredbr’s avatar stuck in my head as Dave…
So once again, my apologies.
Back on topic:
With trib, I think you could go either way personally. During a SERM based PCT, then towards the end it would definitely be an aid, but then during a taper, it will hardly be necessary and if one feels it is, then the last week or two of taper would be a nice time to start.

Although we do differ on the A-dex usage in terms of when and where to use it. I never fault a guy for being proactively protective. Also .25mg E3D is a moderately low dosage. Its a great compromise.
Truth be told I was unable to get any proviron for my up coming cycle. So I may consider the aforementioned .25mg E3D since I will be looking at over a gram of injectables and 50mg of dbol ED. Even for the estrogen resistant like myself that’s pushing the envelope for no anti-estrogen protocol.
