Help with down time between cycles

[D.mang85]

This is my first post, so go easy...

I recently ran a simple 8 week cycle of test prop at 350/mg/week as my first cycle. Prior to starting, my stats were:

6'6"
238 lbs
14% bf (measured with 7 point system)

At the end of the cycle, I was up to a lean 256 lbs at 8.6% bf. All in all, the cycle was exactly what I expected and everything went as planned.

So my question is, how long should I wait to start my next cycle after I complete my pct? From what I have read up on, you typically want to wait at least 6-8 weeks, but at my size (which I know is not huge) and dosage I took for my first cycle, would I be pushing it by starting my 2nd cycle 3-4 weeks after? Ideally, I want to get back to my 270 lb 8-9% body fat self that I was at (naturally at the time) prior to some health issues that side lined me for the better part of 2012.

My 2nd cycle will be pretty simple as well. Thinking of running:
Test prop 500/mg/week for weeks 1-2
Test prop 700/mg/week for weeks 3-8
Anavar at 75mg/ed for week 1
Anavar at 100mg/ed for weeks 7-8
Aromasin on hand just in case, and pct with Nolva.

I know it's nothing crazy, but I'm trying to gauge how my body reacts first before I completely plunge into the deep end. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Is this too n00b of a question to get any input?

You really expect us to believe that in 8 weeks you jumped up 18lb while dropping ~5.5% on solely 350mg of test/wk? And that you were once 270 @ %8-9... "naturally"?...

People stay on all the time. It really comes down to what you feel your overall health is like. You're already a huge mofo. The decision you must make is if you're going to take hormones forever. Despite what some people say, staying lean and huge requires that you cycle on and off forever. Time off is good for your health, staying on isn't.

If you're as big as u say, and your only taking var and test, 300 lbs isn't far away my friend. Keep up the good work. The PM community has rid my fear of all AAS. Just keep reading new posts and you will achieve your goals.

No reason to make anything up. At 6'6", 270 lbs is not half as big as some of the dudes on here. And it took me almost 7 years to reach. Even without the prop, I can shed body fat pretty quick with how I diet. i assumed the jump in weight was due to a combo of prop, muscle memory, diet, and workout and was actually told to expect these types of gains prior to starting it. Again, no reason to make anything up.

Bigtroyboy1 - thanks for the input. That is actually my ideal end weight goal.
