Hi Guys,

New to the forum, am currently planning my first AAS cycle. I'm 25 years old and have been lifting for 2 years as assistance to my sport. I'm a track sprint cyclist and my aim for this cycle is to get to my natural muscular and strength potential earlier than i otherwise would. I'll give you guys guy an overview of my stats:

25yrs
5'10 (178cm)
190lbs (86kg) total
170lbs (77kg) lean ffm
Bodyfat: 10-11%

Lift Maxes:
High Bar Back Squat: 150kg x5 (1RM 165-75 maybe, untested)
Front Squat: 140kg x3
Deadlift: 200kg x3 (again no 1RM, have done a single for 210 before though)
Bench Press: 100kg x5
Overhead Press: 65kg x5

My aims for the cycle are to gain a decent amount of maintainable strength along with some lbm. From the reading i've done it seems like peoples maximum muscular potential is usually around the same with a fat free mass of 25

For me this would mean a maximum increase of 10-15lbs before hitting that maximum value. As i dont intend to cycle more than once or possibly twice the maximum mass i'd like to gain from cycling is 10-15lbs.

Of course i do understand that by definition this gain is achieveable naturally, however, due to the competitive nature of my sport i can't afford to take another 3 years below my potential whilst getting there.

After looking at various options it seems like the best bet for me would probably be either a 6 week turanabol cycle at 60mg ed or an 8 week anavar cycle at 60mg ed. I'd like to get other peoples opinions though, would it be best to run a test base during these cycles or would oral only be ok? The reason i ask is because i know test is sometimes associated with water gain and 'blowing up' and if possible i'd like to avoid looking like im on cycle. At the same time, however, i'd like to maintain my libido if possible. I dont think this would be a problem for tbol due to its effects on increasing free testosterone, however, it seems like anavar would probably kill my sex drive for the 3 months of cycle and pct.

I have nolva clomid and arimidex pre purchased ready as well as liver protectants for post cycle and a blood pressure monitor ( 110/50 !) for during. I've had my pre bloods taken last week and would get post pct bloods taken also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for reading that wall of text.
