Testosterone Enanthate Base Cycle (Beginner-Friendly)
Cycle Goal:
This is a foundational testosterone-only cycle ideal for first-time users. It focuses on promoting lean muscle growth, improved strength, and hormonal balance while minimizing side effects through the inclusion of a proper aromatase inhibitor and post-cycle therapy (PCT). Simple, effective, and widely recommended as a beginner’s first cycle.
Cycle Components:
1. Testosterone Enanthate
-
Total volume: 20 ml (typically dosed at 250 mg/ml)
-
Weekly dosage: 500 mg/week
-
Duration: 10 weeks
Purpose:
Base anabolic compound used to elevate testosterone levels, enhance muscle protein synthesis, and increase recovery and performance.
2. Anastrozole (Arimidex)
-
Total quantity: 28 tabs (1 mg/tab)
-
Recommended dose: 0.5 mg EOD (every other day)
Purpose:
Aromatase inhibitor used to control estrogen conversion from testosterone, reducing risks of gynecomastia, water retention, and other estrogen-related side effects.
Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT):
3. hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
-
Total: 1 vial (5000 IU)
-
Usage: 500 IU every 3 days during weeks 11–12 (after last test injection)
Purpose:
Stimulates LH production and testicular function to jumpstart natural testosterone recovery before beginning Clomid.
4. Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate)
-
Total quantity: 50 tabs (50 mg/tab)
-
Typical PCT protocol:
-
Week 13: 100 mg/day

Purpose:
Promotes natural testosterone production by stimulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, supporting long-term hormonal recovery after the cycle.
