So I want to do this fat, my friend is a trainer and has done stuff himself, he suggests that a 5 week cycle which would consist of Tren A and Anavar. A post cycle which includes hCG or w/e So, to someone like me who is dead set on losing that with help, how does this sound? I asked him about running some test with it and he says If i run that Ill blow up, and i should run that after I lean out. I can check my own labs throughout the whole process as well since I work in a lab, but feedback? negative and positive are both appreciated
Sounds like bad advice from someone with limited knowledge. No disrespect to your friend, but credentialing to become a trainer doesn't require a lot of knowledge and certainly does not make him an expert like many advanced members here.

Risks to your health are much greater at 20% and above. Have you considered the risks of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia and more at that body fat? You're also likely circulating higher serum estrogen levels elevating immune system risks and prostate diseases if you cycle.

Better safe and healthy than impetuous and injured. Have your "trainer" instruct you on a nutrition and training plan to drop your body fat to 12-15%. If he can't do that, question his integrity as a trainer.
