First cycle and looking for advice...

ad

Age- 38
Weight- 180 pounds
Height - 5'7
Bodyfat - 17%
First cycle, very active, mostly Crossfit but I have been heavy lifting for the last 4 weeks.

Going to run:

Weeks 1-10 ... Test Cyp - 500mg per week (250 MG on Mondays and Thursday)
Weeks 1-10 ... Winstrol - 50mg per day (Monday - Friday) Due to age and BF%

15 days after last injection of Test PCT will be:

Week 1 Nolvadex 50mg and Clomid 100mg a day
Week 2 Nolvadex 50mg and Clomid 100mg a day
Week 3 Nolvadex 25mg and Clomid 50mg a day
Week 4 Nolvadex 25mg and Clomid 50mg a day

Also will have Arimidex 30mg on standby if needed. 1 mg per day if symptoms arise during cycle.

Shopping list just to make sure I have the right amount:

20 ml Test Cyp 250mg
50 Winstrol (Comes in 50mg tabs, Monday - Friday only)
50 Nolvadex (Comes in 50mg tabs, will spilt for last two weeks)
50 Clomid (Comes in 50mg tabs, two a day for first 2 weeks)
30 mg Arimidex

I have considered 50mg Winstrol per day, but I know it is not recommended due to this being my first cycle. I feel because of my age and BF % this would be a welcome addition to my cycle.

Please feel free to share ideas about this cycle or ways to improve or help.

I appreciate all of the replies so far! I have decided to go with the test enanthate over cyp, well frankly because it was easier for me to attain. I will keep an eye on the gyno and use .5mg of Armidex EOD as needed. My BF% was evaluated 4 weeks ago and I have been training hard with a good diet, so my numbers are probably lower. My training is "two a weeks" with 7th day as a rest day.

Other supplements I take are fish oil, CLA, mega man sport and 500mg of Niacin (Flushing) daily. I was considering a liver support supplement as well.

As a kid I was very prone to bad acne, what would be recommended if I experience this on cycle?

Spend more time in the sun or a tanning bed to dry your skin out while on cycle. Worked for me at least

Keeping blood levels of all hormones as stable as possible. It's extremely difficult for me to get bloods, so I use accutane for the acne. Makes me feel like shit over 40mg tho, but that's when it's pretty effective

I used accutane as a kid as well, it really dried me out everywhere and I was overly sensitive to the sun. I will say it did work and cleared me right up. I guess I will order it if I need it.

I prefer test enanthate over cyp but that's just me. Really you should be looking at running a test base only for your first cycle. You want to know how you're going to react and if you start getting problems whilst running more than one compound, you're not going to know what the problem is. Armidex is important, I personally go for .50mg EOD but I'm a little gyno prone. But you can never be too careful. From a physical point of view I'd like to see your body fat closer to 10% before starting a cycle, that seems to be the general consensus in forums like this but if you've got your mind up, I can't exactly stop you.

Most importantly of all, make sure your diet and training is in check. You'll get nowhere on steroids unless you put in the hours at the gym and eat properly. Just like normal training! Apart from that, best of luck on your cycle, I've seen far worse!
