I'm about to be 34, I am 5'11 probably like 225. Doing my first cycle in like 7 years. I have done just TRT, then TRT, cardarine and ostorine on and off for 3-4 years. Stopped when I realized I was having a kid and now im 34 and fat. Just got on prescribed TRT. I have been on it for 5 weeks and feel pretty good. Just placed an order Masteron and Anavar. Am I cooked?

Stay on your trt dose get on a Glp1 get around 15% body fat an do more research then do a cycle
Mast an var is not what you need
Give no bloodwork
Get no answers
First time sorry. Got my blood done twice and everything is within the normal levels from what my doc said.
We have some very specialized people on here who are very experienced with knowledge that your doctor may not understand. You are planning on running a cycle that may change your life for good or for bad. People are here who can suggest how to make the right decision and how to get the most out of your first cycle. The first is always the best so it should never be rushed, or you will be sorry.
a glp is gonna be your friend. Assuming you wanna cut some fat. Anavar won’t do much except for some strength increases and will skew lipids. Mast either.. May give some mental edge. Safest way is definitely test and reta and maybe some low dose hgh
100% this. Lock in your diet, training, and sleep first. Get bloodwork after you’ve built a solid foundation. If you decide to hop on later, do your due diligence and research the hell out of it before you pin anything.
What is your question exactly? You gave a synopsis of your life and asked if youre cooked.
if you're fat, youre going to have more problems than if you weren't fat, if that helps answer what you're asking. 5'11", 225 sure as hell isn't the fastest person to ever get on trt. I mean what would a not fat weight be for you? 190? 35 lbs isn't a massive obstacle. You're presumably under the care of a licensed physician if you're on prescribed trt, so do what they tell you and I'm sure they won't let you get cooked.
I wouldn't use that mast or anavar until you have been on trt for a while longer tho. At 5 weeks your test levels are just leveling out and you haven't even really begun to be able to reap any benefits out of it. Also mast won't work as intended unless you are lean.
So I should wait until the end of the year maybe to use the anavar and mast? Also I am down in weight from 254 to 226 since early may so I think my eating is going in the right direction and my workouts are heading doing ok for now. I watched a lot of videos and read online that anavar/mast are good "get your foot in the door" compounds but maybe I misunderstood what I was reading/watching. Thank you for your time by the way, I appreciate it.
They aren't bad compounds. There's no "price of admission" to using them and nobody here is trying to gatekeep them.
Both of them are expensive compounds, and neither of them add a ton of mass. Both are used primarily at lower body fat levels as finishing compounds to a cut.
Both of them are still steroids, and will add strength and mass to a degree, and they both have risks as well. So while they are "mild", they aren't "freebies".
All that to say that your best approach at this time is to cut down your body fat, get good in the gym and make the most of the testosterone that you're already using. Trt levels of test are plenty to add or maintain mass while cutting fat.
Just hang on to your anavar and mast as a reward for when you will actually be able to enjoy the polished and vascular look that they provide.
This was pretty funny and also helpful, thanks lol. "if you're fat, youre going to have more problems than if you weren't fat, if that helps answer what you're asking" Had me wheezing
Agreed on everything stated
Thanks buddy
Cooked? No. Well thought out? … also no.
If the first month of TRT feels so good why not just continue to milk that until you’re stagnated?
If not that, why not just up the test dose first before trying multiple new compounds?
And what were you planning on running the var and mast at?
I was going to do 10 mlg anavar and 200 mast.
I don't think you're cooked, but maybe rushing it a bit.
I am down in weight from 254 to 226 since early may so I think my eating is going in the right direction and my workouts are heading doing ok for now. You are right though, I do want to get to where I want to be faster than I am going lol
It's a journey not a sprint, your health markers will also thank you later on in life as well.
