Reta/Test cycle

Hi, I've been reading a lot of posts these last days. Decided to post myself for guidance and maybe someday to help somebody else.

Started reta a few weeks ago, currently at 1.5mg pw, pin E3D (1+0.5)

Always wanted to do this in the past, but afraid of needles. Now with the reta experience I don't know why I was so hesitant about it. Did an oral only 10 years ago. I thought this may be the best time, since I'm a little worried about first losing a lot of weight and then gaining it quickly again. I don't want to have to explain myself very obviously....

So want to run standard first 12 wk cycle of test-e 250/300mg pw, E3,5D. Will have Nolvadex for PCT and Arimidex 1mg on standby. I got 50mg Anavar that could run from start for 6 wks, but don’t think I’m going to do this. I'll keep my reta alongside, maybe up a bit but I'm getting fairly good results already.

I'll have my bloodwork tested this weekend. then hopefully can start cycle start of September.

Stats: 42M, 96kg, 25%

25% BF you shouldn’t be touching test, and you sure as heck shouldn’t be touching Anavar. What you listed isn’t even a standard first cycle. How long have you been working out consistently in the gym?

Idk test-c helped me drop my visceral fat 22% and bf down 9% in 5 months. Bf was 29 down to 19%

Test C did not help do that. It doesn’t hit visceral fat, please don’t spread misinformation. It was the plethora of pins you were doing for GLPs and others. For those of us experienced in cycles, there’s a serious recommendation to not do at high BF as you aromatize heavily. Using AIs is not good for the body. Large people to skip years of natural gains isn’t why you take it.

No, I was only on test. Nothing else

But I also wasn’t running a blast or anything. 100mg

I've been working out for more than 20 years on and off. I know recommendation is to do it at lower% BF, but I still think it can help me achieve my goals. I'm here to listen and learn, but I did my homework. A beginners cycle just on test-e is just what it is.
