First cycle - 47yr Male
This is my first steps into all things PED and I plan to go in slow. I'm 5' 9" 180pd. Been lifting for just over 15 years. I know my way around a gym but at 47 I just don't have it like I used to and would like to try and change that.
Here's my plan.
12-16 weeks depending on blood work.
(Week 1-5)
Test C at 100 week 1, adding 25 each week until 200.
Get bloodwork at week 5, if everything looks good, continue.
(Week 6-10)
Add 25 additional test per week until 300.
Add 10mg Anavar on gym days (4-5 days a week depending on how the joints feel)
Note- I believe Anavar is designed to help more on a cut then on a bulk but I would like to try and test it at a low dose to see how it effects me physically/mentally. This is as much for testing as it is for results. (If this is a bad idea then feedback is welcome)
Get bloodwork to check levels
(Week 11+)
Test + Anavar (Maybe up to 20mg)to end then taper back down to 150 test over several weeks.
I'm fine going slow and controlled. Is this too cautious? Thoughts, ideas?
Thanks
P.S. I already have my bloodwork in order before I start. Just got it in last week and things look good to go.

iCONicNo. Test only. Start at 200 or 250. Get bloods at 1.5 months to see where youre at. Then bump up to 350 or 400 if everything looks good. Run test only. No orals
At 47 I would flat skip a cycle til I got real bloodwork from my primary. Check if you need trt first.
16weeks is bs. Just causes more shutdown. Get on...get done...put! 100 to 200....nope! You're 47 and unless you're 100% in the gym for years...nothing much will happen.
Where's your PCT? AI?

There is nothing for me to really add on this one, everyone here gave incredible advice. But yeah, I would also skip out on the Var for now, just dial in your bloods to make sure everything is rocking and rolling before adding anything else.
I would leave out the Anavar for now and just see the gains you get and how your body reacts to just the test such as your hct, lipids, e2, prostate test, blood pressure, etc.. You really wanna dial in the testosterone before you start adding any other compounds so you have that as a base and know how each compound is working. I would stay away from orals until you're running well on your test base and then depending on what your profiles look like and if you need things like atorvastatin or daily cialis to help with the BP and things like that. There is a lot that factors into starting gear and doing it one thing at a time and learning your body and how it reacts is the best way to do it. Are you planning on running a pct after? Or staying on a trt dose indefinitely?
Don't need var first cycle test only have a AI on hand this was my first cycle test e 500mg week for 12 weeks and it was the best do you plan on trt or PCT when cycle is over no need to taper up an down threw cycle
There really isn’t a need to use anavar in your first cycle It’s going to destroy your lipids. Would just up the test and start at the max “TRT” dose of 200 mg. There also isn’t really a reason to raise by 25 mg. You can just go from 200 to 300 and your bloods will titrate up over the next 4-5 weeks. Going up by 25 mg is wasting time in your cycle IMO.
Do you plan to pct or cruise at 150 after? If you just plan to cruise just end the cycle and go back to injecting 150 and your bloods will find their way back down over 2-3 weeks.
Also make sure you have an AI on hand Arimidex or Aromasin. At just 300 mg my E2 was at 105 and required Aromasin twice a week.
