+ 2 First cycle Test E+Var
ad
Hey to everyone that's reading this. I am planning to run my first cycle and I wanted some opinions/suggestions. I am going to run Test E 500mg for 10 weeks, 20mg var for 8 weeks, and I have Clomid and Nolva for PCT. I've also bought AI in case something goes wrong with estrogen. I was thinking of maybe adding something harmless that would give me additional gains, however I don't want to overdo it since it is my first cycle. I have good genetics, I am 173-4cm (short frame to build more gains) and I'm healthy. I would like to know whether to alter something in the cycle or keep it as it is.

definetly would need an AI imo if pinning 500 test e, try pinning daily. Honestly solid first cycle can maybe add in 2-6ius HGH however would need glucose monitoring and possible anciliaries such as berberine or metformin but I doubt it if you fast before nightly inejction and eat somewhat clean.
People still do only 10 week cycles in 2026? Poor man's cycle, that way you only have to buy 1 bottle only?
I will help you with my mistake, that I feel I made at the start of my cycle. If you are trying to cut body fat just stay at trt test dose and cut.
You can get bloods during this time and learn your aromatization.
Once you are ready to blast off, you have to eat in a calorie surplus if you want serious gains. Food is anabolic and the most important thing in your cycle. Recommend using a calorie tracking app like Cronometer. This is where my gains started to be the most noticeable once I was consistently eating 3k calories a day on training and 2700 on non. I’m dense dry and not adding fat. Learning how to eat your macros is as equally as important as training 5-6 days a week.
on point!!!
This is great advice and I would upvote but don’t have any thumbs up left.
Run TRT first and see how your body responds. You’ll still make gains on TRT and have a better idea of how to proceed.
Ranger3252I gave him one for ya
I dont understand why everyone has the idea of having to start your 1st cycle at 500mg per week of test. You have no clue how much you aromatize, wouldn't it make more sense to start at 300 for 4 weeks, get your Bloods and make adjustments from there?
Like bros mention below, 10 weeks isn't long enough and pct is gay
I’m gay as fuck because I pct.
so friggin gae
Its ok I will take some Tren and we can hookup
Shit happens
Yeah you do have a point I've seen that cycle somewhere and wanted to try it but I've done my research beforehand. Also about the PCT part lol I wanna have children although it sounds kinda gay so I need to take it
I swear I have seen this exact post not too long ago. Are you a bot?
I said the same thing in my head but went back to the other guys post it is different lol.
no dude ong im real lol
Okay, I am going to give you some solid advice and you can take this for what it's worth. If you really are ready for this lifestyle just know this is life and once you go down it, you probably won't stop.
If I were you for your first cycle, I would start at 300mg of Test E or C just like ASA mentioned above.

PCT: Now this is the decision, if you want to get completely off test and everything for a bit, then you will need to start PCT two weeks after your last Test Pin.
I recommend CRUISING so that is where you drop your Test down to TRT levels like 100mg to 200mg a week. This prevents you from losing much of your gains and you stay on it until you are ready for your next cycle.
During your cycle and cruising your balls are going to shrink up. To prevent this you will either need to take Clomid or HCG. I recommend taking HCG and do 250IU 2x a week to start and if it isn't working enough then you can increase from there. This will keep you producing sperm and keep the balls in normal shape.
There is a lot of good advice from guys here, it's up to you if you want to take it and implement it.
Blast n cruise first cycle? Posted by several guys? That's crazy! @Greg
Im 25 and Im weighing around 67.5-68.5kg, with around 15% BF. 5ft 8 tall
68 kilograms =
149.914 pounds
Jock you might not agree and that is fine. He is 25 almost 26 he is an adult and lets face it, they will do what they want.
I did what I wanted at 25 so I would rather educate them then to just tell them no. I also know some 25 year olds that have low test levels and are already on TRT.
25 with 135lbs lean mass at 5ft .8. Dies thou hoist?
Extend the length of your cycle to 16. Why the PCT? Do you plan on having kids? If not look into blasting and cruising on TRT. You'd get way more gains and be healthier out've 16 weeks of just test and dropping the anavar. Especially if you're going to PCT you're going to lose the var look quickly anyways not really a point. Get some HCG as well.
Hello, thank you for your response. I am looking forward to having kids in the future so I'm trying to hold onto good therapy after the cycle. Are you saying 16 weeks test will get me more gains than 10 weeks + var? Also with proper PCT from 16 weeks.
You really don’t have to PCT until you want to start trying to have kids. Like if it’s not for a couple years from now just come down to TRT doses and keep HCG in year round and THEN PCT. Yes test is kind and @Asa is right you don’t have to start at 500 that’s a hefty first time dose. I’m at 240mg right now and started seeing differences within a couple weeks. If you want to still do the var for fun do it much shorter, 8 weeks is a long time and it’ll crush your lipids.
No pct is dumb.
Drop your reasoning why then.
I'm not a expert by any means, just going off of his goals and timeline for kids. I see no reason in self administered PCT for the maybe 2% better androgen receptor recovery compared to just a TRT health phase that will get your body back where it needs to be in range.
Also go say no pct is dumb to @Asa too then don't single me out LMFAO pick on the smarter/bigger guy.
It depends what the individuals goals are if PCT is right or not. Younger guys in their 20's and just starting should probably do PCT but I would rather educate them and they can decide. Everyone thinks that you become sterile on gear so you should PCT and it's simply not true, I know lots of people who had kids while blasting.
Cruising allows you to keep most of your gains and your hormone levels are not going up and down all over. During PCT your hormones go on a roller coaster ride.
Woah now. I didnt say not to pct, just said that its gay.
Hey, I'll take in consideration what you said about children. I'll probably lower it to like 400mg since I really want to see some progress, although I'll monitor everything actively since it is considered a high dosage. Do you have any recommendation about the var duration? Also can't I buy omega fish or some supplements to protect my lipids?
If your goal is to put on mass in this cycle and you'll be eating at a surplus, I wouldn't bother with the var at all. 500 Test for 16 weeks is what I'd do, though. Up the duration a bit, drop the oral. Especially since you plan on PCT'ing after.
Realistically, if you genuinely want to commit to this lifestyle, you should get yourself on TRT first so you never need to PCT.
Also, how old are you and how much do you currently weigh?
Hey, thank you for your response. Im 25 and Im weighing around 67.5-68.5kg, with around 15% BF. I want to keep the cycle mostly as it is, wanna keep var just so I try it at least once and see its results.I also want to cut/barely maintain in order to touch 9-11% BF and build much lean mass with it showing (so no surp). I have found a nice steroid site with the stack I want, however the reviews are mixed. A lot are complaining about long shipping times or sometimes not even the product being delivered to them, and I am contemplating if I should order from there (I can't mention the site since it's against this forum's rules.) Thank you for your response though. And one last question, do you think I'll develop any long term issues from this cycle (i've heard its mild) ill most likely buy tudca as well and nac for the liver as im running the var.
I think you are trying to do too much at once. Just blast on the test this time for longer like the other guys said. Don't take Var in your first cycle. The visuals are temporary. Don't get me wrong I love it at the end of a cut. But you have to be practical about your goals. If you aren't eating in a surplus you wont gain much muscle. Var suppresses some people's appetite. Just my 2 cents
Heyy ty for ur response, you are right I will run it on a deficit so I won't gain that much muscle however I've heard var gives gains as well except of the visuals and the dryness so I thought I'd run it. Do you think it's more worth only test?
Ranger3252I swear to God if I see one more response starting with “Thank you for your response.” I’m gonna fucking lose it lol. Jesus Christ you’re either a bot, using AI or a politician.
