Seems reasonable but how do you not know your own bodyweight? I use to travel for work so I worked out at numerous numerous numerous gyms over the years and I swear only one didn’t have a scale. Mind you some of the mom and pop gyms in the little towns had home bathroom scales and some of them were “put away” so you had to ask for them but as general rule with one exception they all had scales. Care to explain 180-200lbs? Because I am curious now.
Dont just start taking arimidex because you want to control estrogen. It’s very easy to accidentally over use and totally mess up your ability to gain, we need some Estrogen. For new guys that have never cycled I am a fan of starting the cycle without any AI. Then wait and see if you have any obvious signs of high estrogen, if you don’t then don’t use it. If you do, start at somewhere between 0.25-.5 mgs on injection days. Stay at that dose for about two weeks and see if the estrogen sides are gone, if not then slightly increase dosage. Arimidex has a 3 day half life so taking your dose on injection days of enanthate or cypionate really seems to be the way to go.
As long as you have the AI in hand you can address any issues like gyno before anything becomes permanent so relax and see if you even need it at your test dosage level.
I am somewhat relieved to see a nice simple first cycle laied out with a PCT plan. Kudos to you for using your brain to go and see what is the preferred “safer” first cycle and then actually stick to it. Maybe humanity isn’t doomed.

I know my exact weight to date. I just decided to put a range where I kinda hang out through the year.
I was thinking of doing exactly that with the adex but a buddy advised to just start just in case. I have read numerous things and it seems kinda split on how guys wanna run it. Some want to completely be safe with things like gyno. And some wait until things start to change. I will probably not run any to start and see how things go.
Thanks for the input!
I don’t intend to sound like a prick, but if that is you in your profile pic at 188lbs then you should reconsider this cycle.
You have little muscle on your frame, so should focus on your training and diet for a couple of years. There is no way you’ve been training properly for 10 years and still look like that mate.
That is probably not a good pic to judge. That was at the very bottom of a cut last year. Used to wear xxl shirts. Used to big a fat kid. Lol
This is how’s I sit most of the year.
Haha, there is definitely a difference between those photos 
right! I was pretty much doing everything to cut down without worry about loss of muscle. I just wanted to see what I could get down to. Lol. I stay pretty solid most of the year.
No need to take adex on a routine unless you are having high E2 symptoms. In the beginning you will experience high/elevated E2 as your body is trying to balance itself. Dont freak out about it.
500mgs per week, divided into 2 shots. There are two trains of thoughts on these forums about this. One camp says it doesnt matter, the other camp says it helps to eliminate the peaks and valleys and to maintain consistent levels. I have noticed a difference in dividing my shots and I am only running TrT.
Wait 2-3 weeks after your last Test shot before starting your PCT so that the Test clears your system.
Have you ever injected anything? Looking at 18g - 20g needle to draw the Test from the Vial.
Are you doing Intra-muscular or SubQ? I think most beginners should shoot for IM and in the quad. It is the easiest to hit. I would use a 23g or 25g to inject with. These small details are what screws a lot of new guys over. There might be some post injection pain, ranging from swelling, heat, redness, pain, but it goes away. Watch out for Fevers and redness spreading towards the heart.
EDIT: There is NO need to aspirate.

Yes. Everything you mentioned I planned on just didn’t break it down that far in the post. My bad. I know exactly what I’ll be using for needles and the process I’m gonna use. Thanks!
