hold on, you dont need to start anything. By the time you are ready for a cycle you should be hitting the gym for at least 4 years of intense, natural training with a bunch of calories (good calories ie whole wheat not white, tuna, no junk food like chips or soda). You can get to 185 natural even 190 . That is when you would want to start a cycle. What is your age?
Start researching a lot more and learn why you're doing everything so it makes sense to you and you will be able to make a wise decision.
For a first cycle, you should do one compound so if u get bad sides (gyno, bad acne, etc) youll know what you got it from and you can lower the dose or take other drugs to offside those effects. Probably should be test because 95% of the time you wont get really bad sides like gyno. for 10-12 weeks.
Dbol could be thrown in there for the first 4 weeks to jumpstart your gains to wait for the test to kick in. You could do oral only cycles, but u can experience with that later. You will get better gains using an injectable or injectable and oral.
The steroids you take shut down your natural production, because your body wants to remain in homeostasis. It thinks it doesnt need to create your natural testosterone since you already have a bunch of it.So when it sees steroids come into the body (all derivatives of testosterone) it shuts your balls down and you stop making testosterone. If you take HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) during your cycle it would tell your nuts to make testosterone, so it does and ur boys dont shrink and ull have an easier PCT. Start HCG at week 3 and take 250iu 2x a week until 3 days before you start PCT.
During your bulking cycle you might bloat, because of too much salt retention or because your estrogen is high, or both. To combat that you can take a aromatase inhibitor (AI) like arimidex or aromasin. This will keep your estrogen in check so you have less bloat, and less chances of getting gyno, but also at a safe level so your joints dont dry out. Start the dose low and go up until you see the results your looking for. Start at .25mg EOD of arimidex.
Reason you need PCT is because when you come off your natural production is basically at zero, cortisol is high, estrogen is high, and testosterone is basically at zero too. Things to take to restore natty levels would be clomid, nolva (more for blocking estrogen at your nipps so they dont get puffy or form lumps aka gyno), Sustain Alpha, EndoAmp and POST CYCLE.
Do more research and make sure your diet is in check, your getting enough sleep and that you work out with high intesity.
The one compound should be test or primo. I feel 8 weeks is quite enough for a first run since the main purpose is to gauge the body's reaction to aas. I agree that the OP is not yet ready for cycling. Also i think that is should be said that injectables is safer than oral due to the hepatoxicity of alpha 17-alchylated compounds i.e. orals.
Good post. I put in a few comments but overall i agree.
