First cycle, please advise

[Atom2]

Hello,

I have been doing some research for a few weeks now and I have decided to start my first cycle at the end of the month
I would really appreciate if you could give me your opinion on my first cycle.
I am 37, 6ft 2 and 160lbs(78kg) 12% body fat.
I go to the gym 3-4 times a week(been going for 4-5 years) and I also play water polo 2-3 times a week
I am expecting to gain strength and 10-15 lbs of solid muscle. Am I being realistic?

w1-10 sustanon 250mg Mon and Thu
w1-12 equipoise 400mg Thu
w1-12 HCG 250iu Mon and Thu
w1-16 Arimidex 0.5mg every other day
w7-12 Anavar 50mg daily

PCT
w13-16 clomid 50mg daily
w13-16 tamoxifen20mg daily

I am also planning to take finasteride 1mg everyday

Thanks for your help in advance

Drop the EQ and anavar. First cycle should be testosterone only. Learn how your body responds to it.

Don't use an AI during PCT. Wait 4 weeks after your cycle to start PCT. Sustanton has the undecanoate ester in it which takes a long time to clear out of your system. It would be better to use Test E or C.

Start e AI dosage at .25mg EOD. Get blood work in week 6 and see if that is the right dose/frequency.

Don't take finasteride. Lots of bad things happen when you take that stuff.

Keep doing more homework. This first cycle was not laid out well.

Where will you be getting your blood work done?

@ 6'2'' 160lbs you can do a whole lot more naturally. that's lanky man, i think learning how to eat will do wonders for you instead of gear at this stage.

I don't think it will make a difference but my weight is 173lbs I got the conversion wrong from 78kg.
I am not planning to become a bodybuilder, I am not that stupid, however I play water polo on regular basis in a league and I really want to add some more solid pounds, I was thinking of 5-7kg (10-15lbs)
My diet is really good, but swimming is an aerobic exercise and I am finding difficult to put the extra weight on

Thanks for your reply Megatron28, I will consider doing an only cycle of testosterone if it is safer, I will do more research on equipoise anyway as I thought it was fairly safe. I was not planning to do a blood test until after the cycle as during cycle I am not sure what the right parameters should be

Thanks

It isn't about the compound being safe or not. It is about learning how your body responds to AAS. If yourun multiple compounds at the same time you won't know which one is causing a certain effect you are experiencing. That makes it difficult to determine what action to take. You are better of by limiting the variables. Plus, you can get HUGE gains running just testosterone.

How many calories do you eat per day?

It is imperative that you do per, mid and post-cycle blood work. Don't run a cycle if you are not going to do the proper blood work.

What do you mean by you are uncertain of blood work parameters?

Them there boys know the truth.

I eat between 3000 to 3,500 calories a day.It depends if I am swimming on that day.
I need to do some more research on blood tests.
Thank you

Thanks Megatron, I am doing some more research,
Do you know why taking finasteride 1mg is not a good idea?
Are there any interactions with testosterone/ dhc conversion
or is it the side effects of finas teride?
Thank you
