Could use some help guys...

[R&D]

Guys I'm getting very close to starting my first cycle which will probably be:
500 mg test-e / wk
300 mg EQ / wk
and maybe some var.

I haven't decided on the length of the cycle (maybe 12 weeks???). I'd like to get this cycle in and do another one over the summer. I know I'm running tight on the time-line. I don't want to cut this cycle too short since I've heard many times that your first cycle usually gives the best results, I don't want to short change myself by doing only a quickie my first time around.

So here's the question for you veterans... How long should I run this first cycle and when should I run the second cycle which ideally I'd like to run over the summer months?

If it matters, I'm mid 30's, 5'10", 215, ~15%BF, and have been training for many years.

THANKS!

Too much for a first cycle

If this is a first cycle, I think the dosages are too high! You're suggesting close to 1000 mg a week (with the anavar) for a first cycle. Completely unnecessary.

Try cutting the doages in half or more, run it for 8-9 weeks and see how your body responds. If you've never use AAS before, you have NO idea which sides you might experience, and to what degree. So, given that state of affairs, why not start conservatively, really pay close attention to your diet and training while doing this, and then see, after the 8-9 weeks (not 12) what your overall experience was.

I'd also suggest running some Nolvadex throughout your cycle, and for a good 4 weeks at least after your last shot.

This way you'll begin to gain insight into how your body reacts, and have a base of experience to build upon. You can always go up in the dose at a later time IF you have a solid reason for doing so.

I'd suggest giving yourself at least as much time off (8-9 weeks at least) as you were on.
