Can anyone recommend a good recomp cycle for a first timer

Personally if that is your goal and you are going to be recovering from surgery , then I would change the idea to a 'cut' phase and not a 're-comp' phase. the reason again being that a true re-comp requires a lot of weight training with a lot of intensity and high volume, which will be very difficult recovering from surgery.

you could do an 'anabolic cut' , lean out and maintain plenty of muscle . for that type of goal I would definitely go with Primobolan at like 600+ mg per week , possibly with a Var kick start and just on a trt dose of test. Primo is clean and very 'anti -catabolic ' so while you lean out you'll maintain muscle very well and you can run it a long time without sides (at least i can) , 16 weeks+ .
this will get you leaned out, bring out the muscle you have , help build your legs up possibly with training , and cycling your diet from a surplus for some weeks and deficit for others.

^ in my opinion , thats more reasonable goal considering your situation with shoulder surgery , then a true re-comp

Kinda seems like I'd be bringing a bazooka to a fist fight, but I will take your recommendation very seriously. Like I said I'm not trying to get to sub 10%bf and have a Christmas tree in my lower back, but I do want to bring out the last two abs in my lower stomach and have a few veins in my quads.

Would you run this cycle with T3 or would that be overkill?

re-comps and cutting are similar in that you have only so many 'cards' to work with . You have say maybe 7 cards at your disposal . you don't want to play all your cards at once. be a strategic card player.
heres what i mean.

you have these things at your disposal , but do not play them all at once time .
- Cardio
- Hypo-caloric diet
- Carb cycling
-Metabolism manipulation / re-feeds
- Thyroid drugs like T3
- Fat burners like Clen
-AAS

if you go full bore and do all these things all at the same time, then you'll hit a wall quickly and have no where left to go , having played all your cards. its a long 16 week journey . play them when needed.

Run your Primo and test base , then have calories at maintenance and up your time spent at the gym. then progress a little and when it slows down , then start implementing cardio 3 days a week, when it slows down, then go to a hypo-caloric diet too .. when that progress slows down then start manipulating your Macros and cycling carbs, when that slows down , then do cardio 5 days a week. may need to lower your calories more . if that slows down start implementing some things like T3 and maybe a fat burner as well. etc etc...

make sense . give yourself room to make progress :)

That's why you fucking make the big bucks!
