I'm doing pretty much exactly what you outlined here as my very first cycle. I'm 3 weeks in at 80mgs var per day and 400mgs test e per week. Also running aromasin on cycle, and have a PCT set up with Nolva.

But var with a conservative dose of test 150mgs-400mgs seems to be a good first choice for me and I'm someone who really wanted to avoid sides, hence keeping the test in the lower range. I didnt know how much gains to expect but they are good, I'm very pleased. I think if I didn't add the test I would still have gains but not as much and my zest for life and libido might suffer.
