personally i'd run a low dose of 4-ad just to keep up libdo, gotta make sure you can perform in the bedroom man! plus 4-ad should increase your appitite and help add some bulk

Actual cycle.

Week 1 - gona do 1 cap 3 times a day so 300mg in total. All with 3 biggest meals evenly spread at breakfast Lunch and dinner about 9am 1.30pm and 6pm.
Week 2 depending on results step up to 600mg in total 3x2 per day as above
Week 3 by now wil definately have gone up to 600mg
Week 4 possibly 900mg depending on how early i went to 600mg and results so far.

i'd run the cycle for 6 weeks man, a lot of users don't report gains until the 3rd or even 4th weeks and by that time your cycle is gonna be coming to an end, 180 caps over 6 weeks would be 4 caps a day, so i'd go with 300-400mg a day, split into 3 or 4 doseages of 100mg, no point going from 300mg up to 600mg in week 2, chances are you still won't see much by the 2nd week and running 600mg+ for 3 weeks is not worth it IMO, if you want to go high dose run 600mg from the start, but if this is your 1st cycle i'd go with 300-400mg and stick at that, as far as i know tapering up the dose of 1-ad is rare (as with tapering doseages on juice cycles), it seems to just be a m1t thing due to how fast and hard m1t hits you

potential supps during the cycle part
taurine
milk thsitle
saw palmetto
pantothenic acid
hawthorn berry
flax seed and cod liver oil

then obvioulsy all the supps i take anyway (whey protein,glutamin,creatine multi - vits and aminos)

i'd save creatine and milk thistle for PCT, the others look fine

Ok a few questions for the cycle part.

I dont need any nolva or other anti e on cycle do I bcoz 1ad doesnt aromatize to estrogen.

as far as i know you can still develop estrogenic sides from 1-ad, as 1-ad converts to 1-test which (as with all anabolics) will shut down natural test production and your body will begin to release estrogen in an attempt to balance hormone levels in your body, sides such as gyno are pretty rare but they are still possible, i'd have nolva on hand before you run your cycle just incase, better safe than sorry

How much weight do u reckon i can expect to put on in the specific weeks so I know whether to up the doses

as i've not run the cycle myself yet i'm not totally sure, i've heard 1-ad can take upto 3 weeks to kick in so i'd wait till the 3 week before deciding whether the dose is effective or not

Milk thistle ive heard can lessen the effects bcoz of the way if detoxes the liver should i just use this pct instead.

i believe milk thistle during your cycle is a waste and if anything it can be counter productive, you want the 1-ad in your system as long as possible, milk thistle will only help your liver flush the 1-ad out of your system faster, just hit the milk thistle hard on your pct and you liver will be fine! 1-ad is not a 17-aa so milk thistle is not even essential on this cycle, but you can never be too safe

if im taking flax seed do i nedd to take omega 3 how should i dose them if i take them both.

get some fish oil caps, they are superior to flax, fish oil is proven to help prevent cancer whist certain studies have revealed that flax could help cause cancer

PCT

Week 1
6 oxo at the dose i finished 1ad at so 600mg a day or 900mg depending.
Zma 3 caps b4 bed
Clenbuterol following the doses set out in the faq on this site

ah i like the zma.. nice choice, trib is also a good choice! i'd go with a 600-400-300-200 dose, clen should be fine.. just remember a little clen goes a long way

Week 2
6 oxo corresponding to the dose of 1ad in the 3rd week of my cycle so 600mg
clen as above zma as above

Week 3
6oxo at 400mg a day
zma as above

Week 4
6 oxo at 300mg a day
ZMA as above

supps for PCT
Milk Thistle
taurine, potassiam (and the magnesium is covered in the ZMA) for the first two weeks whilst im taking clen.
Flax seed and omega 3

i'd throw in some creatine for pct as well

Some PCT questions

- 6oxo dosage im pretty sure this is right but let me know? Is it too high

run the dose i have given you, providing you don't go over 400-600mg you should be fine with this, 900mg+ might require a stronger pct

- Same as for on cycle about the flax seed and omega 3 what doses.

10-20g of EFA a day, along with the fats in your diet should be enough, e.g. 5-15 fish caps and a tsp. of flax

- Do i still take the saw palmetto and hawthorn berry during pct if so do i take them for all 4 weeks or will 2 do.

wouldn't hurt, but they are not essential

Have I missed anything out of either the cycle phase or pct.

Thanx in advance for any help. Plus I know im being really meticulous with this but wanna do this properly and safely. I know it will take a long time to reply to everything ive asked and il really appreciate it or any contribution.

Cheers
