Please critique my first cycle. Opinions needed!

[VitaLuna]

First off I'm 24 years old, been lifting since I was 16
6' tall
220 lbs
Around 11% BF
Been working out for about 8 years straight now, Always had to stay in great shape because I played Division ll football
Now that I'm out of college and don't have to worry about getting tested anymore I have decided to run my first cycle. Been doing research on AAS for the past year or so because my friend that I train with is an amateur bodybuilder who says I am ready and has been trying to get me to cycle with him. (I'm a long time lurker of aas forums just never bothered to create an account) Now that I no longer have to worry about getting tested I have decided that now is the time. Anyways here is what i have planned out so far.

Week 1-12 Test E 500mg (250mg 2x week)
Week 1-7 Anavar 80 mg ed
Week 11-13 Albuterol 16 mg ed (dosed 4mg 4x day)
Week 1-12 Aromasin 12.5 eod if needed
Week 14-17 Torem 120/90/60/60 (also have nolva, not sure if i should add it as well)
N2 Guard and many other support supps throughout

Mainly looking for strength gains but a few extra lbs of muscle would be nice

I am a firm believer that Diet is the most important thing you can do for your body! I have learned a great deal of information from this forum's diet section

Been reading alot on how people say it is dumb to kickstart with Anavar (var), I sort of agree with this but I have Albuterol to help me lean out and POSSIBLY add some strength at the end of the cycle. (some people have said it helped them add strength (I used to take 10mg of albuterol before every football game and it gave me insane endurance just fyi)

And yes I know everyone's first cycle should be test only for 12 weeks but since most people say your first cycle will produce your best gains why not make the most out of it? Got a blood test done a few weeks ago and everything is excellent. Will also get another one done after post cycle therapy (pct). I would be willing to make a log out of this cycle if anyone is interested

Okay how does this cycle look? Any changes I should make? Looking for opinions, thanks in advance

You should run test only your 1st cycle, but I can tell by what I am reading here that you have your mind made up. I would not mess with the albuterol, and I would just be happy with the Anavar (var) and test.

Okay I also thought that adding the albuterol would further complicate things by adding another compound. I suppose I will save it for after post cycle therapy (pct).
Do you think I should kickstart or finish with the Anavar (var) if Test E and Anavar (var) are the only two compunds I'll be running?

I know finishing a cycle with Anavar (var) is a lot more common but it sure is tempting to want to kickstart! Although I reckon i have waited 8 years so another 7 weeks is nothing.

Agreed!

I don't really have a problem with the Anavar (var) but dropp the Albuterol. you don't need it, and you definatley don't wanna run it during pct, you'll hinder your gains.

I would finish with the Anavar (var) myself, but I think this is overanalyzed a lot. Anavar (var) isn't known for the big strength kickstart like Dbol is known for. I think much of this is due to the water retention Dbol adds, were Anavar (var) is almost the opposite of this. Anavar (var) is more known for hardening you up and adding minimal strength, so to me I would use it at the end.

The biggest problem I have with the albuterol in the cycle is this:

Your not familiar with running AI's yet so water retention may become a factor. Water retention= high blood pressure, and albuterol increases heart rate. So you can see why that is unhealthy. Furthermore, its not recommended to cut at the end of your cycle or during post cycle therapy (pct). Want to keep your calories up and let your new gain solidify and let your body get accustom to carrying it around 1st. IMO cut like 2 months after pct.

You'll get more input here, this is a great site!

Thanks for the input I will drop the albuterol. Now that I think about it that was a dumb idea in the first place. I will run it a few months after my pct I suppose.

Thanks alot for the feedback, I have decided to take you guys advice and drop the albuterol. I'm sure I won't need it anyways. Also seems that Anavar (var) would be better suited to finish but maybe I am over analyzing things but I have figured that if I start my Anavar (var) at Week 7 My strength gains from the Test and Anavar (var) will be in full effect at the same time. This might cause tendon/ligament damage if I lift too heavy because of my rapid increase of strength?

And yes this is a great site. I used to be a long time lurker on EliteFitness but I feel like they are ran by Need2buildmuscle. They do make great products but it seems like in every post on EF someone is promoting N2 supplements. I don't want biased replies when it comes to this type of thing, that is why i came to Steroidology. For example I asked this same question over there and they told me to drop the Anavar (var) and use Beastdrol (n2's version of superdrol) instead. That was the icing on the cake for me.

Edit: Not trying to turn this into a EF vs Steroidology thread i was just saying why I came to this site
