My cycle

[heretostay]

I know that you all see plenty of people posting their cycles on here and asking for advice on them. Well...I guess I'm not above that. I just wanted someone's opinion on what I'm doing. This is my first cycle (yes, bring on the hate). I'm around 275lbs at 17% bodyfat 21 years old. I'm a powerlifter, so that give you an idea as to what my goals are. Anyway, here is the cycle

Test E: Weeks 1-8 500mg/week
Weeks 9-12 250mg/week

Winstrol: Weeks 1-6 50mg/day

Nolvadex: Weeks 1-12 20mg/day

Now, just a few questions. Should I take 500mg throughout the whole cycle, instead of tapering it off the final 4 weeks? Also, should I take the winstrol weeks 7-12 instead of the initial 6 weeks. I'm trying to negate a lot of the weight-gaining effects of the testosterone enanthate, so I'd think that maybe taking it at the end of the cycle would make more sense. Any input is appreciated.

Pretty bad cycle. The test e taper at the end doesnt make much sense. I know alot of guys use it, but I personally feel winstrol is horrible for the powerlifter.

So keep the Test E at 500mg throughout the entire cycle? I know a few powerlifters who have used Winstrol without any side effects on their joints as many claim, so I'm going to base that on each individual's experience and nothing universal.
