Week into First Cycle - Question

[stquatt]

Hey guys, I had a post a while back got some really good advice waited to start my cycle for another month and just pushed myself as hard as I could with cardio and weights. But, against some of the community's advice I did end up starting a cycle. Anyway stats were as follows for those who might not remember:
25
5'11
210lbs - came down from about 310lbs over course of 4years
Diet clean - I know this is relative and in actuality if it was as CLEAN as it could be then I probably wouldnt need shit but I havent drank alcohol in over 6 months and carbs are only from veges brown rice.

Goal: Cut weight retain muscle mass and hopefully develop a defined 6pack

So what I am doing for my first cycle:
Test Prop (I know people suggested E/C but I went against it because I didnt think the PiP would be bad Im used to it now but f*** off you werent joking!): the first 4 days I took it slow i just did 50/50 just being cautious i guess. Since then i have upped injection to 100mg eod going on my 4th injection tomorrow and might bump that too if you think it should? I figured it being my first cycle i might be a little bit sensative to it so just taking it slow.

Ana Anavar (var) - have not started taking the advice i received from the majority of people and just seeing how my body reacts to the test alone so just running Prop for 4 weeks and then i am going to begin Anavar (var) starting at 50mg ED? think this would be alright or should i go straight into 100mg?

My question now lies with my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) i have Dex on hand and have not started it yet. I was thinking about starting it with my injection tomorrow does anyone have any advice for or against that? would you start at .25mg? and continue to run that from start to post cycle therapy (pct)?

right now the plan for length is -
Test P - 8weeks
Anavar (var) - weeks 4-8
Dex - ???

post cycle therapy (pct) - i know everyone recommends nolva - clomid but the guy i am going through said those were not necessary and Dex was the only thing he used for post cycle therapy (pct) and was fine. Obviously, you can see i side on the cautious side of things and a second opinion makes me feel quite a lot better so please do make recommendations if you think he is talking out of his ass..

Anyway, like always i appreciate all the feedback ahead of time and I am taking pics of before/during/after and will post for sure once i complete everything. Thanks everybody, take it easy.

Bro get Clomid and Nolva if you wanna keep your gains and get your balls back quickly I always run both. You can get all that at RUI (see banner above) Also I'd run the test for 12 weeks the first cycle usually gives some of the best results when just using test at 500mg, I put on 30lbs. Never used anavar so nothing to say there other than don't do it yet just do the test for your first cycle.

the general concensus is to start adex .25 mg eod starting on day ONE. I would start is as soon as possible.

Yeah, start Aromatase inhibitor (AI) immediatly @ .25mg EOD, as a lot of sides go "unseen".

Hey guys sorry I never wrote back I appreciate the feedback and I did begin my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) immediately. Now I have another question. This is my first cycle so I have been running 350mg a week but doing some reading and more research I am tempted to bump my dose to 500mg a week. But two things.

This is a cutting cycle I am attempting, getting bigger is not really the goal really just want to lean out keep muscle mass. So the plan was to begins Var this Saturday (week 4) and finish it out for my cycle (was only doing an 8 week cycle). Would I see better results if I bumped to 500mg and began var? Or do a complete revamp extend to 12 week cycle get on Var week 8-12.

If the latter of the two is recommended would you still suggest hitting 500mg test prop starting week 4?

Btw just incase someone is goin to bring it up, diet really is on track. 5 meals a day all meals measured, no alcohol, no cheating for 30 days, and cardio is typically done on my lunch at work and sometimes for cool down after I lift at night when I get off work.

Like always I appreciate all the advice and guidance through my first cycle thanks for everything.
