Advice on first ever cutting cycle

[OnlyTheGreat]

Hey guys, just as the title states, this is my first ever cutting cycle coming up.

First things first, my cycle history:

1- test e @500mg per week for 12 weeks with a 4 week d-bol kickstart 25mg/day
2- test prop @100mg eod for 8 weeks with 4 weeks of dbol @30mg/day
3- test prop @50mg eod and tren a @50mg ed for 8 weeks
4- test e @500mg per week for 15 weeks with npp @525mg per week from week 3 for 8 weeks

First cycle was for size, all the rest purely for strength. I have been cruising on 250mg test e per week since my last cycle, with a bloodtest from my gp every 3 months. I have made great gains on all cycles and am currently sitting at 88kg, 178cm, around 13-15% bf (just a guess, I can see my abs)

So this cycle would be to cut down to around 8-9% ideally, but I'd be happy with 10%. Training involves 60-90min weights with at least 30min cardio after. Every Thursday I run 6.5km which takes me around the 40min mark. It's just to stay fit really.

Diet atm is very clean, one cheat meal on a Friday. For the cycle I will switch to carb cycling which I have had good results with during bulking. 500 cal deficit and will either increase cardio or decrease calories as the weeks go by.

This is the proposed cycle:
1-12 test e @500mg per week
3-12 mast p @600mg per week

aromasin @ 12.5mg ed
nolva @ 20mg ed (to keep fighting some small gyno that is now starting to go away after 7 weeks on nolva)

This will be my first time running mast but I have heard only good things. I see most people run it at 600mg per week. Would it be better for me to try 400mg per week instead, as it is my first time? I am not a big fan of tren so have decided to try mast for this cut. Is it a realistic goal I am setting? I know it is mostly training and diet, but I have heard of masterons ability to bind strongly to the AR, which can promote fat loss.

I have basically done my research, but thought I'd run it past some experts before I go ahead and order my stuff.

As always, all advice and opinions are welcome and considered.

Thanks in advance guys!

Imo mast is fantastic for hardening up already lean muscles and drying you out. As for its fat burning abilities I wouldn't it much credit and would honestly wait to run it until sub 10%. When I get to around 6% mast really shines.
Is there a specific reason you don't like tren? If you can tolerate it why not run?

Test p @75 eod
Tren A @100 eod
Mast p @100eod

Probably one of my favorite cutting cycles. The doses are moderate also. Main focus should be diet and training

Yea I've heard people say that it should only be used sub 10%. The reason for it is to mainly keep my strength up and hopefully help with the fat loss.

With tren I didn't get many sides. It wrecked my hairline a bit, but hey, what can you do? I'm going to be bald anyway. I had laboured breathing on tren so I couldn't do cardio too much. I also get bad sweats on tren, which makes me itch like a mofo. I work on ships too, so it can get fairly hot sometimes, which on tren could be bad. I am just trying to avoid it for the moment, but I have a lot of respect for the hormone.

I can get my hands on primo too, but it is rather expensive so I thought of mast. I am still cutting on my cruise dose for a few weeks before I start my cycle, so I could possibly get down to around 12% with a bit of blood, sweat and tears. Not too worried about muscle loss at the moment as I will bulk shortly after.
