    strength more than size

    I'm 23 and have been lifting since highschool. from 18 to now I've been very serious about it. I'm thinking of starting my first cycle. I don't want to gain too much weight, but I want strength increases. Also, it is very important that I can keep my gains.

    so here is what I'm thinking:

    Test Enanthate for 12 weeks @ 300-400 mg/week
    Anavar for 4 weeks (or eight?) @ 50mg/day
    PCT with Nolva and Clomid. Maybe HCG .

    what do you guys think? I want a low dose of test to keep my weight down... any advice?

    Sounds very conservative for a first cycle. That would be the way to go. I would have some anti E's on hand during the cycle just in case gyno becomes a concern.

    I agree and you can run the anavar longer then 4weeks. I personally like running it for 8weeks.

    Bro, would you be bothered about injecting ED? If not i would go with Test Prop with var. You will gain some great strength gains but weight will be kept to a minimum.

    Typically Var is run for 6-8 weeks and the dose you had is fine.

    I would stongly advise that Test goes to 500mg wk but its your cycle.

    Very good point Matrix guy... first cycle though... ED injections... might be a bit much IMO.

    That would not be bad either you could even get away with EOD inj.

    Test 500mg/wk for 12 weeks ending with Var for the last 6 weeks right up to PCT.

    Prop and var would be the way to go for strength gains with no so much weight gain ... but the ED injections might be harsh for a first-timer

    I'm doing a similar cycle starting in 2 to 3 weeks.
    I'm doing:-
    Test E 400mg a week - weeks 1-10
    Anavar 40/50mg a day - weeks 8-12
    Nolva and l-dex throughout.
    Nolva and clomid for PCT
    Looking to stack on some decent weight and strength from this. I'd like 10-15 keepable pounds if possible so I want to be making 15-20lb's just before PCT.
    I was thinking about using EQ rather than Var but it has to be shot EOD (so I've read) so it'd be abit much for my first cycle.

    i'll see if prop. is available.

    would i run it at 50mg EOD or 100mg EOD?

    am i alone in thinking that i only need the anti-e when sides are too much? I thought estro had a role in growth.... I use for sure with PCT though, right thru (nolva/ldex/clen (benedryl/keto)/clomid)
