Long 1st Cycle: Bulk and Cut with Prop and Anavar
Been reading at the datbtrue forums and this idea resonated with me: the more cycles we do, the more we PCT, the less and less likely our test will come back to pre-cycle levels. And even if we do everything right, dot our i's and cross our t's, there are no gurantees...So goes this biz and we accept the good with the bad, however, I would like to keep my usage minimal and cruise on my natural level of hormones because although I am not satisfied physically, my body ain't that bad. And I know its been said before, but I really want to do one cycle for the aforementioned reason, and if vanity takes a hold, I want to keep my hormone supplementation to a minimal. No 8 week cycle, PCT, then back on the merry go round to chase something that isn't really there. So I've been rethinking my first cycle (http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...-critique.html) and now propose an alternative:
(this is just the rough outline. still need to add ancillairies, peptides, etc.)
6 to 10 weeks of Test Prop @ 100mg ed.
My reasoning is that I want strength, stable test levels, and more strength. In the original cycle, I was planning on running test prop at 100mg eod for 16 weeks. But I speculate diminishing marginal gains with Prop after weeks 8-10 and not maximizing its strength effectiveness, so I think it better to get all the strength gains I can it in the first few weeks and not sell myself short.
followed by...
6 to 10 weeks of Anavar @ 75mg ed, Test Prop @ 25mg ed, Albuterol
All the strength gains I made, I want to preserve in this part of the cycle. I also want to lean out and drop bf% drastically. My line of thinking is that Anavar will be anti-catabolic and I may even add strength during this cut as this is my first cycle. I'll be running the same mg of hormones in this part of the cycle, 700mg, but the Var will be my workhorse here.
followed by...
aggressive PCT and at least 6 months of steroids.
So at minimum this cycle will last 12 weeks, maximum 20 weeks. Thoughts? I don't want to piss away the Var in the second half of the cycle, do you think my AR receptors will be shot from the Prop? I don't want to run 8 weeks, PCT, wait 8 weeks then do a cut, I rather do a big one then get off for a loooooong time. Another question, although I will be taking the same number of hormones per week, is the drop from test @ 100mg ed to 25mg ed too drastic? Should I taper to 25mg? Should I increase the test during my cut phase? Alright guys, big thanks for taking the time!
