What would be the safest first cycle for moderate gains?

[Guailo_Shogun07]

So I have been reading about steroids for a while now. Side effects, profiles, different stacks and I'm not sure what direction to go in. I'm not looking to gain a ton of weight right off the bat. I'm looking to go through the experience and makeup my mind from a few cycles. I have been working out steady for 4 years now and am somewhat happy with my gains. This last year they were somewhat minimal.
About myself:
I'm 29. 5'10'' 190 with a bodyfat of 18%.I'd consider myself a hardgainer. By the time I decide to go on a cycle I'd want to get that down to about 14% though. I workout with a 4 day split. Hit every muscle once a week. 3 exercises for smaller groups and 4-5 for bigger muscle groups. Stick to a 4-8 rep scheme and 3-4 sets per exercise. I don't know how relevant that is now because I would change it for my cycle.

I was thinking of taking this.

Test E 250/mg twice a week. Monday and Thursday afternoons.(10 weeks)
Equipoise 200-300 mg(10 weeks)

PCT

Last week of cycle I'd start HCG 250-500 iu everyday for 2-3 weeks
Nolvadex 20 mg/day for 6-10 weeks


I'm not sure about my intake levels or when to take them...As far as how many times a week. I've been reading a lot of different things and I'd prefer to take a smaller amount over a longer period then taking a ton and getting it over quickly if possible.

Overall The elements I have I think are good? but dosing is a question...any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to anyone that comments good or bad.

welcome.
you don't need eq for a first cycle, and eq at that dose would be a total waste anyway.
you need a better pct.

Id stick with test only for your 1st cycle, also EQ will do pretty much nothing at those dosages anyway. You should also think about adding some clomid to your PCT.

Damn you type fast LOL. I obviously agree.

LOL, hope he doesn't take that advice seriously.

It's not to far off...dont think the kicker is needed (esp. at 100mgs a day)

PCT for a test e cycle would NOT start until 14 days after your last injection

you might want to get your bodyfat down a little before you start your cycle

[Guailo_Shogun07]

So. Basically cut out the eq and add some clomid to the pct. I read that it was good to have eq in with test just because then you could cut down on how much test you have to take and would make for a risky experience. Like I said though. I've read so much that I decided to join this forum to get one on one advice.
