First Cycle Query (Test & Anavar)
Hello gentlemen. I've been browsing through this website for a while now, trying to absorb as much information as I can. I'm extremely impressed with the amount of knowledge and wisdom around here, it feels like a really good community to be a part of. I'll try my best not to act like a newbie who knows it all, and show respect.
I'm going to cut right to the chase, it's a new year and time to see out some resolutions. I'm interesting in getting into Pro Wrestling this year, as well as taking BJJ classes too, and the time seems right for me to consider starting my first AAS cycle to add some extra quality mass to my body (from test), whilst getting a hard and vasular look (from anavar). I'm 30 years old in a few months, and this is something I really want to try. Of course there are also aesthetical reasons involved too. But when I train, I train hard. I would love to give an 8-week cycle a go, and see if it works for me. I've been training for four years, I feel mentally ready to take a next step up.
I'm not scared of receiving injections, but I don't trust myself to inject myself. Although I was thinking about a Oral only cycle for a while, I've turned slightly sour on this idea for time being due to liver concerns, let's call that plan b.
So the Plan A is to get in contact with a few of the local doctors here, tell one of them that I have low Test levels, and convince one of them to give me a 500mg shot once a week (Cypionate or Enanthate). Where I live, you pay the doctor in cash every time you visit him, it's not a national funded healthcare system, so it's more like a business transaction here, and I have heard that there are a lot of foreign doctors who will bend the rules for extra cash.
I plan to pair this Test with Anavar oral tablets.
I want to keep it simple and safe for my first cycle. I was thinking 8 weeks of Test @ 500mg a week, and 8 weeks of Anavar @ 50mg a day (Anavar split into 8 hour intervals).
I will also take Liv52 and Milk Thistle to combat the Anavar tablets being harsh on my liver and Policosanol to help keep the Cholesterol levels in check.
PCT will be Clomid and Nolvadex, run for three weeks (weeks 9/10/11). Clomid @ 300mg day 1, 100mg day 2-14, and 50mg day 15-30. Nolvadex @ 20mg for 30 days. But I will obtain plenty of Nolvadex, just in case I suffer any gyno side effects and need to use this earlier than expected.
I'm 6'1, 185 pounds, 12% body fat.
I had blood tests done last month, results came back with Blood Pressure is at 120/80, Cholesterol came back at 3.6 (it was close to 6.0 in 2012, so very happy with that), and Glucose came back at 5.2
My diet is simple, 5 meals a day when I don't exercise, 6 meals a day when I do exercise (extra meal after work-out), 750 calories per meal roughly every 4 hours which includes 50g protein each meal. I also take 5g creatine a day, BCAA tablets, a Multi-vitamin, calcium tablets, and Omega Oil.
So my questions/concerns -
First question, are my products, length of cycle, and dosages in check? Are the PCT dosages in line with the cycle dosages?
Are single 500mg shots of test per week a safe dosage? I know I could/should split it into 2x250mg but that would mean twice as many visits to the doctor. I really only want to see him once a week maximum as we're talking 50 euros per visit.
Will I need to consider adding HCG to this cycle, or is it a perfectly safe cycle without it? I've read the First cycle thread (thanks for that post TRTblastcruise and other contributors) and it comes highly recommended if the cycle dosage is high, but I'm not sure either way. If this is taken by needle, it's something else I will have to talk to the doctor about.
The most important concern, my main concern, is my penis and balls. Of course I want to avoid low libido and ball shrinkage. How much risk am I really putting myself, downstairs, by running the above cycle? Or will everything for certain be 100% back to normal after I have completed the PCT? I'm talking in terms of natural test and sperm being back to their normal pre-cycle levels of production, and ball sizes being back to their normal size before I started the cycle.
And whilst I'm here I may as well ask about any potential issues with hair loss?
Of course everything depends on finding a 'helpful' doctor first.
Sorry it's an extremely long first post. I want to be safe, be happy, be confident, and gain. I really would appreciate any helpful advice or feedback. Thank you.

As Rusty stated I think you are heading down a tough path trying to get a Dr to give you 500 per week. A standard TRT dose from a Dr is about 250mg every 2-4 weeks. They are not stupid. Second, you say you have been reading here for awhile, well you should know full well what the risk is to your stick and balls. But just to make nice I will tell you, your stick will love test, balls not so much, but with only 12 weeks you will not even notice. Good luck.
Why are all the rookies fascinated by var.. I hear at the gym all the time.. var this var that.. I'm going to strangle the next guy that brings up a var only cycle.. enough var venting...
IMO drop the var bump the test up to 12 weeks and get some good pct.. take before, during and after pics and note all changes, progress and set backs.. there is a science to this.. going on my 12th cycle and I'm still learning everyday.
Thanks for the feedback. I was considering adding var because it seems one of the safest steroid with the minimal side-effects, thought it would suit a rookie like myself.
So if I stick to test only, how much different would the results be after the cycle compared to if I run anavar alongside it? Thanks once again for your advice.
RustyhookerGiven your stats...very confused on pro wrestling. I used to lift alongside those guys in wwf and they we're all at or over 300lbs and strong as an ox.
Oral only is not a good option. Shutdown with no payoff. Oral only is like 2lbs for Lotta stress. You xan do 8lbs with better food intake.
Dr will not put his license on the line for what you're asking. What he can do is inform your insurance Co that you are a drug user.
Read...research....improve diet. Simple test e only. Learn injections or dont even start.
Thanks for your feedback. I will ask around a few doctors anyway, nothing to lose right, there may be a loophole somewhere. There are no insurance companies here, you literally pay the doctor in cash with each visit. It's pretty much a business.
Seems like just test is the way to go. Again though, wondering about how different results will be with and without the anavar.
Regarding the pro wrestling, these days you don't need to be a 300lbs 6'8 giant to be a wrestler. Lots of different sizes and weight divisions now.
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated.
Where is here? In many countries, there are antiaging clinics that may hook you up. You will have to negotiate though. In some countries, doctors may be required to report anything involving foreigners. If they ask to see your passport, beware. If you're purchasing gear from local pharmacies, they are not all created equal.
Do the Test only first. Learn how your body reacts and pay attention to gyno issues. You can do 300mgs a week in one shot but anything over you should split. Thighs are no problem. Use spot injections to see where to do it.
