Hello everyone, glad to be a new member to this amazingly intelligent community!

First and foremost, let me give you a little background about my stats:
Age: 29
Height: 6'4
Weight: 217
Bodyfat: 13.9%
Years training: 6

I know when you saw the title of this cycle you thought to yourself, 'Oh, Christ... another retarded noob afraid of needles.' This is not the case. In fact, this is far from the case.

The reason I am choosing to do this simple oral / transdermal stack for my first cycle is because I have a rare skin disease called Hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa) which can be very uncomfortable, painful and embarrassing, and while its exact causes are unknown, there is a mild possibility that one of the variables for the condition is androgen dysfunction.

I know it would probably be wise to avoid Steroids all together due to this condition, but bodybuilding defines me and I do not want to place limitations on achieving my goals based on a perceived disability. I wanted to 'test the waters' with a relatively mild cycle, and this is what I have decided on.

Cycle layout:
Weeks 1-8: Anavar 60mg ED
Weeks 6-8: Androgel 5gm / 50mg ED

PCT:
Nolvadex 40/40/20/20

I already have a stash of 14 days worth of Androgel 5gm, each packet 50mg, which I would throw in simply because I have it and it was free. I know the absorbtion rate is crap and I do not anticipate any anabolic effects from such a crappy source of Test -- just throwing it in there to help with libido when the Anavar shuts me down. Plus it is already on deck.

Also, my simplistic PCT was based on an Anavar only cycle, so do you think I would need to add anything else in with the last minute addition of the Androgel?

If my body responds favorably to this cycle, I will hopefully be able to do a 'real' Test Prop cycle for my next adventure. *Fingers crossed*

Also, would you suggest moving the test to the first two weeks of my cycle? I decided on the final two weeks to help counter the Anavar shutdown.

Thanks everyone!

I'm no medical expert on the condition u have but u sound a lot like me. We are the same age and for a long time I tried to do it naturally as well. If your decision on using dermal is final then I would atleast run it for atleast 5-6 wks. Using it for 2 weeks u will not see any physical gains.

The purpose of the dermal would ultimately be to counter the possible shut down from the Anavar ; I do not anticipate any additional anabolic effects from adding it in. Unfortunately, I only have a 2 week supply (14 packets). I dabbled with even doing it every other day for 4 weeks, but based on the low absorption rate, I am unsure a dose that low would even counter anything.

I was honestly going to try the Anavar by itself at first to see how my body / condition respond before considering more powerful anabolics (plus I am winding down on a cut from 25% - 13.9% and wanted to get that little added boost to finish out with a bang). I just need to know if it would be better to include the Androgel or just leave it out and maybe use it as a front loader for a Test Prop cycle on down the line -- if I decide to try it based on the sides I do / don't get from the var.

If it is okay to keep in this cycle, is my PCT of Nolvadex solid enough for such a baby stack?
