Advice Needed

[germaine91]

Looking to do my 1st cycle and I'm considering doing an Anavar only cycle 6 weeks @ 50mg ED. Basically:

6'0
188lb
10-15%
22yrs (23 may)
Lifting (without f*ckarounditis) ~3years
Squat 160kg x 3
Deadlift 215kg x 1
Bench 110kg x 2

As I said I'm considering:
Anavar @ 50mg ED 6 weeks
PCT clomid @ 50mg ED for 20days

Reason for choosing Var only is because I'm still young and it's a less suppressive compound wit less harsh sides. I know there are a lot of people who call it a girls choice but I don't care. Thinking it will be a good starter before moving onto test on my next cycle.

Here's where I'm looking for advice. I was planning on cutting at beginning of march for a few months before gradually increasing calories back up to maintenance by July. I'm now thinking of running as above from next week, which will mean I will finish the cycle at the end of february. Now I'll probably keep calories high throughout march while running PCT because I don't want to waste any gains. What I want to know is if I cut at the beginning of April, a week/ few days after finishing PCT, is a good idea or is it still too soon. I want to give myself enough time to cut slowly and be 8-10% but I also want enough time to walk back up calories and re-build metabolism before going on vacation at end of July.

Any help, advice is welcomed and appreciated. Any other suggestions, such as regarding PCT, I'm open to all people's opinions. Thanks

Edit: Just to add. I'm 4th week into recovery from a back strain so I'm still not back deadlifting or squatting but am heavy rowing again.

As a first cycle you can't beat a test only cycle IMO, sus 250 like 500mg/week for 10 weeks maybe, jus my opinion tho do as you feel comfortable and always make sure you do your homework

Yeah that's what I've been led to believe up until recently. Then with a little more researching I've come to understand that you don't actually need to do test only for first cycle. Sure, I'll probably see better gains, but for my age and what I'm looking for I think Var fits the bill. Also, first time especially, there is research showing that 300mg test will still reap decent gains and after that you get diminishing gains.

Jus my opinion mate, do what you feel is right, my first cycle I did sus 250mg/week 10 weeks and got decent gains but if I could go back I would certainly have upped dose, do what your comfortable with and make sure you have pct sorted

Yeah the PCT is the part I'm most unsure about. Because it is only a mildly suppressive compound I'm under the impression the PCT won't need to be so aggressive. I was recommended clomid/nolva but I'm not sure due to what I've been reading.

My next cycle I'll more than likely try a test sust/e 400mg/week 8-10 week.

Forgot to add diet. Currently:

Calories 3,600
Protein 200g
Fat 100g
Carbs 475g

With all the above, is it recommended I follow with one of the following:

Week 1-6: Var @ 50mg ED
Week 7-8: Clomid 50mg ED
Week 8-10: Clomid 25mg ED

Week 1-6: Var @ 50mg ED
Week 3-6: HCG/HCGenerate (dose?)
Week 7-10: Unleashed & post cycle combo

I know a liver protector may be beneficial but money is tight and I'd preferably go with the 1st option if it would suffice, although from reading I think I'll have to go with option 2 (if I can get it in my country).
