Young athlete here considering a first cycle

[placesvehicle123]

Age: 22.5 years
Height: 6' 2" 188cm
Weight: 205 lbs 93 kg
Body fat: 12%

I've been lifting x3 a week for 2.5 years now.

I am NOT looking to get huge. I definitely don't want to grow so fast that it seems unrealistic. My goals from the cycle are:

- Performance boost in sports
- Gain a small amount of lean, high quality muscle (that hopefully I can keep afterwards).
- Harden up a bit

I am considering doing Test E at 250mg/week (pinning twice a week) and Anavar. Most of the "First cycle recommendations" say Test E at 500mg a week, but I'm worried that's too much for me.

My questions:

-Am I too young? I'm definitely done growing height-wise. But some people say wait until you're 18+, others say 21+, and others say 25-26+. Which is correct?
- Is 250mg too small of an amount?
- What AI dosage would be recommended for 250mg?

Appreciate the advice guys

You say 500mg is too much but you suggested 250mg twice weekly which is 500mg? Anyway yes your too young your endocrine system isn't fully delevloped until 25

What sport and what lead you to think steroids? Is your competition on steroids and you're only looking you compete with them? Or are you looking for an unfair advantage?
