Well I've decided to go to the dark side. I've been lifting for a while now but I believe that I've reached my potential naturally years ago. My question is should I begin with an AAS cutting cycle or should I begin with a bulking cycle. I'm not looking to get extremely huge. I've researched lots of different cycles and about the different compounds but I'd like advice that would pertain to myself personally before making a final decision. I am looking to have more definition but not at the cost of losing lean muscle that I already have. I've added a photo of where I am as of today. Thanks

Looking good, bro!
You didn't say how old you were, though.

For your very first cycle, you should do a clean bulk on Test E. 500mg/week for about 12-14 weeks.

Any other compounds would be a waste since your first cycle will be amazing regardless of what you use. Save the more advanced compounds for when Test stops working for you.

You can do a Test + Anavar cutting cycle for your next one, but for your very first, clean bulk. That's my suggestion.

It would be a shame to waste your very first cycle on a cut.

Looks like you've already got enough size an building experience, so what makes you think aas is the answer? If you're looking to cut you don't needs aas for that, just need to pay attention to your diet and will look great without it. Even on aas you're going to make zero changes in terms of a lean/cut appearance, you still need to diet and count your calories.

I've lifted for years but only in the last maybe 3 years that I drastically cleaned up my diet. I'm gonna go with a Test E only cycle to start out with to see how much more it enhances my current build then I'll go from there.

If I were you...
I would do a slow cut for a month or two leading into your cycle.
Any muscle you lose you will easily gain right back when you cycle in a surplus.

So I have officially began my first AAS cycle. I decided to go with the 1st cycle sticky as suggested by fit_deskjockey. The only thing that I'm adjusting is the hCG schedule. I'll begin that starting the final 4-6 weeks. Also I'm taking 12.5mg of Aromisin EOD to prevent estrogen.

You should use hcg through your whole cycle to help you better recover.Hit the diet section to make sure your diets on point beacuse many cycles have been lost too bad diets.

I had some serious ball shrinkage in between the twice a week hCG injections. Mine would shrink down to 70% normal. This had a significant psychological effect. I know I'd freak out if they remained that way or got even smaller for 6 weeks. I like my nuts full and hanging low

Aromasin should be run ED
