wanting to start research on 2nd cycle not sure where to begin

[PrairieDawg]

Ok so I did my first cycle about 7 years ago. Made good gains, went through a period of my life pursuing my career soon after where I could not commit to the gym enough to justify steroids.

Well in the past year or two things have settled down considerably and am back to peak form (except for alittle extra bf%).

Before my first cycle I researched constantly. This is what it looked like,
10 week cycle (I think)
Dbol for the first 4 weeks or so
test e 500mg/week, weeks 1-10
followed by pct

While I was impressed with the muscle gains I was not impressed by the bloat and bf% gains I made during it.

So I'm ready to start research on cycle #2 and all I want from you guys is to point me in the right direction. I want to be able to cut some but still make good gains. I always considered tren but am not a fan of the side effects that come with it.

I don't want to take dbol to jump start either. What are my other options? I've been out of this for so long I honestly can't remember a whole lot from my first cycle.

What's your cycle experience?

What are your current stats?

[PrairieDawg]

oops sorry.

Like I said this is my 2nd cycle,
been training since I was 16, I'm 26 right now.
currently 5'11" 180lbs. not sure of the bf% but it's minimal, I'm guessing 8-9%

I thought that test only for a first cycle was recommended? This is technically a first cycle, since it's been so long since the first one. Is ten weeks too long for the first one?

This is something I had planned out a few years ago. Not sure if the doses are too much since I've been off it for awhile? Anyways I'd like some comments

Weeks 1-4: Test Prop 75mg ED
Weeks 1-15: Test E 600mg EW
Weeks 1-12: Eq 500mg EW
Throughout: Nolvadex 40 mg ED

followed by PCT of course
