Goals:

My Goals are mostly oriented around gaining strength and lean muscle. Primarily want strength and explosiveness gains, also want to stay lean and the cognitive benefits interest me. Cycling off so I don't get caught when tested.

Overview:

16 Week Cycle

Test E: 300mg a Week ( 150mg Monday/Thursday )
Accutane: 20mg a Day
HCG: 250 IU on Pin Days ( Want higher chances of staying fertile post-cycle )
Arimidex 0.25 mg on standby

Will be pinning SUBQ for more stable release and less scar tissue, using a 29G 1/2" Insulin Syringe

PCT

Will begin two weeks after my last pin

Clomid 50 mg/day for two weeks
Go down to 25 mg/day for the last two weeks

( ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MY PCT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED )

You would not need HCG on a testosterone cycle only ; especially considering this low dosage (which is good). You're going overkill with this, you already got Clomid waiting so it's safe to bet you're going to be alright. These infertility stories are the result of years of serious PED abuse. My two cents.

Even at 16 weeks your balls will atrophy, I don't mind going overkill in order to maintain my fertility permanently. The risk is still there even at this dose and length.
