Looking for some advice.
Stats: 26yo, 6', 195lbs
Background: 9 years of lifting with the first 6 only being semi serious. 6 years of mma with the first 4 being on and off. I have done three 6 week cycles of test prop this year (250mg EOD). Beginning of the year I was 180 at around 10% bf. I got up to 205 on cycle and I am now 195 at around 13% bf three weeks after my last cycle.
I don't fight so I don't have to worry about being tested. But I would like to stay on short esters and short cycles to minimize side effects and get back to normal as quickly as possible.
Problems: I felt very bloated, slow, and tired on prop. My cardio was horrible with the extra muscle and water weight on cycle. I took .5mcg of Letro ED on cycle to try and reduce bloat but I still carried about 5-7lbs of water each cycle.
Goals: Increase recovery time, increase strength, harden up, minimal to no side effects, minimal effect on cardio, lean out to 185 and stay there.
Which cycle would be better for MMA?
6 weeks 50mg Test Prop EOD, 50mg Var ED, .5mcg Letro ED, PCT is Nolva 60-40-40-20mg.
OR
6 weeks 25mg Test Prop EOD, 25mg Tren Hex EOD, 50mg Var ED, .5mcg Letro ED, PCT is Nolva 60-40-40-20mg.
Questions: I know Var is mild and will give me some small strength gains. Does it help or hurt cardio? Will I be taking enough Test to balance some of the Tren sides and will I be taking enough of each to give me small strength gains?
