At week 11, you definitely will know how you’ve responded to the testosterone. I think the var will be a nice addition then. And less is best, particularly at first.
Diet wise, it depends on how you handle the extra calories. Some folks can eat tons more on cycles and the calories go right to their muscles, others, well, more inclined to adding to fat. An increase of 300 could be low for some, but perfect for you.
Good luck. Maybe start a thread on the accountability forum and let us know how you progress.
