31 M Natural 5’7 186lbs, Looking for First Cycle Advice

Hey guys Current stats are I’m 31, 5’7 186lbs all natural,m I’ve done protein shakes and that’s it. I got a little fat a few years ago and ever since I’ve tried to stay in the gym, have been really serious over the last two years lifting 5 days a week and competing in 5k, Spartan races, and 10ks pretty regularly. I was 208 a while ago and since I’ve dieted to around 2500 cals a day and 170g protein and let the rest of my macros just fall in place with my carbs coming from complex sources and fruits.

I would love to add some lean muscle back to my frame so I’m looking at a first ever cycle of either Test E only at 500/week and possibly adding EQ to harden me up and help with endurance. I’ve read so much that so many things contradict other things. I was also a Division 1/2 wrestler through college so ive been training great portion of my life. Thanks again guys! Tell me what you guys think so far of some progress I’ve made over the years and I’m not exactly sure where my body fat is I’d say in the 13-14 percent range.

BF % doesn’t really matter all that matters is what you see in the mirror, wont make a difference if you like what you see and you find out its 11% and not 10% right bro.
Go for it man just stick to Test only to start and plan it all out, get everything before you start also (ie don’t get caught without arimidex or tamoxifen). If you can get labs done also. Enjoy!

Yeah I second what Pereque said.
You have a good base and actually a better than most base. If you want to it is your choice to use AAS but just stick with test for the first cycle if not the first few cycles. That dosage of 500 mgs a week of test is roughly 5-7 times your natural test, you are going to be blown away with what you can accomplish on it so no need to stack something your first time.

I assume you will be going the test enanthate or cypionate route so plan a 12-15 week cycle. 10 weeks is just not long enough to properly harness the potential of the long esters. I say 12-15 weeks because the bottles you get can be from 200 to 400 mgs per cc. If you need three or four bottles to make it to 12 weeks but you have about half of the bottle left at that point there is nothing wrong with going to week 13 or 14.
Start with a larger first shot then divide your weekly dosage into two equal shots per week. The larger first shot helps you get your levels up quicker otherwise it can be weeks before everything builds up. That large first shot also helps you get to and over the “anabolic threshold” sooner. Make sure you have an AI on hand, that’s aromatase inhibitor like arimidex, aromasin, or femara but really femara is heavier duty. Even if you don’t think you will want an AI on cycle still just have some on hand incase. Nobody wants bitch tits and if you don’t have one for just incase…
Nolvadex should be totally fine to cover your PCT.

Still read up on everything because it’s your body you could possibly damage if you listen to an idiot.

Just a piece of free advice: when you’re discussing the use of a controlled substance you should probably block out your face and the identifying marks (read: tattoos) from the pictures that are appearing on an open forum.
