+ 1 First cycle advice- test and var
I'm planning on doing my first cycle. I'm currently 21, 6'0", 165 lbs and i've been training natrually for 2 years. I went from 140 to 165 in the past 2 years, mostly lean mass, so I know how to diet and train hard like i've been doing for the past 2 years. I originally wanted to do like 20 mgs of anavar daily with a trt dose, like 150 test per week for 4-8 weeks depending on my bloods and side effects. But i've read in here that beginners should always start with test as their first cycle to see how your body reacts. so i'd like some advice on that. I dont't want to go high dose test because on the androgenic affects and having to worry about getting an ai and all that extra stuff. I just want to do a trt dose sized base stakced with anavar because anavar is barely androgenic. I haven't got my bloodwork yet but im plaaning on doing that soon before i actually order anything. I want to make sure i do this as safe as possible without having to go through a doctor or actual clinic. I've heard its pretty hard to find authentic anavar which sucks and idk what source to go with since there is so many and i don't want to get screwed with fake anavar. regardless I plan on sending my gear to get tested because its just not worth the risk to blindly put unregulated drugs in my body without knowing 100% whats in them. Also do i need to test for fentynal? or is that something i shouldn't worry about? I only plan on doing 1 or 2 cycles (first one being test only, second one being test + var). i've done a little research on sources but plan on doing a lot more before buying anything. I really just want to 1 4-8 week cycle and be done and hopefully recover my natrual test, but idk if thats unrealistic or a good idea. please let me know more thing to consider. all advice is appreciated. thanks!

First off, great job on the natural progress going from 140 to 165 lbs. However, at 21 years old and 6'0" 165 lbs, you still have a massive amount of natural potential left before you should even think about risking your endocrine system. If you are absolutely dead set on doing this, a 4 to 8-week cycle is completely pointless. Long-ester Testosterone takes about 4 to 5 weeks just to reach peak blood serum saturation. Shutting down your natural testosterone production for a 4-week run will give you basically zero keepable tissue and all the HPTA suppression. The gold standard for a first cycle is 16-20 weeks of Test-only to see exactly how your body metabolizes the hormones and manages estrogen. You are 100% right about Anavar being faked. It is the most commonly faked oral on the market; cheap labs constantly swap it for liver-toxic Winstrol or Dianabol. You don't really need to worry about fentanyl in gear, the actual danger is dirty solvents, heavy metals, and swapped raw powders. Because you are smart enough to not want to blindly inject unregulated drugs, you need to stick to highly vetted labs. I strictly use L e g i t r o i d s for my Anavar and all my orals because I need the absolute guarantee of clinical purity and 100% genuine Oxandrolone. For my Test base, I exclusively run P h a r m - 8 9 9 because their brewing is pharmaceutical-grade, and the perfectly smooth carrier oil means zero inflammation or PIP. Please do a lot more research on cycle lengths and PCT before you buy anything!
Sigh. Poor young buck. Eat food, get sleep, don’t take opioids or prescription drugs you don’t need, lift hard, and forget anabolic compounds exist for a decade while you do those things. Then if that test and var still sounds appealing in your early 30s, when you’ve built a foundation, discipline, and good habits, give it a try. Until then, don’t. You aren’t old enough yet, and you’re not bound for the Olympia stage, so no need.
