Combat Sports Athlete Looking for a Cycle! Need Advice šŸ™

Hi everyone! Hope youā€™re all doing well.

I am 27 years old and have been a lifelong athlete until a severe injury put me out for years. Came back With 51 pounds of fat on me, lost a-lot of functional strength built over since childhood due to bad physios and poor guidance. Came back to the game last year and have have lost 36 pounds since then. I used to compete and I came back and competed as well but my body doesā€™t feel the same anymore even after extensive rehab and strengthening. I mainly do MMA including boxing, wrestling and Jiujitsu.

I feel really weak because of how much weight I had to lose, Iā€™m training hard burning 1000+ calories in a session because of insane cardio requirements. I have done everything I can and I want extra help in achieving my goals. I know a lot of people will advise me against this but please hear me out. This is a 1-2 time thing I want to do to get back to my previous level, it is hard to maintain cardio, lose weight, preserve/gain muscle and maintain performance all at the same time and it has gotten depressing. I built all that over the years and lost it all. Now I have done what I could and Iā€™m aiming to get a cycle in for the last pounds.

My plan:
Bodyfat: 22%
Thinking of running this cycle for 4 months (12 weeks) first 3 months on cut to go from 74 kgs to 67 kgs or maybe even 65 (65 is my ore injury weight I will see how I tolerate the deficit as I am burning a lot of calories but now I also want to maintain my performance)
Once I get to 65-67 range I an looking to go on a very weak ā€˜bulkā€™ mainly for strength gains and I am really far from my pre injury strength level.

Main Lifting: 3x a week (Compound movements such as Squats, deadlifts, shoulder press and rows (NO BENCHPRESS might do some incline accessory work thatā€™s it)
Other l accessory work mainly focused on Lower back, glutes and shoulders but these sessions will also include farmers walks, dead bugs and suitcase carries as well)

Body weight exercises during my regular training sessions: During my regular sport sessions a lot of pushups, pullups and heel elevated squats are performed 2-3 times a week.

Sport sessions: will be training 4 times a week, these are very cardio intense sessions including a lot of live rounds and body weight exercises, drills and extensive warmups) I am not going to increase this from 4 days because I feel like I will be burdening my body a lot with 2 a days and want 2 rests days week.

Test: 250-350 mg/w (keeping this low as I donā€™t want estrogen related sides because of my high body fat)

Anavar: 50 mg Everday

HGH: start of slow with 1 iu everday and ramp it up to 4 ius in weeks

What should I use for estrogen related sides Armidex everyday? Please guide me on this one.

Liver support: Turmeric and garlic supplement, Liv52, Milk thistle, fresh almond milk

PCT: Need advice on this as well, how long, what to run, how to run I have done se research but I need a lot more guidance from you guys.

Please any advice on training sessions, my cycle, PCT and ANYTHING will be worth alot for me! Also, would like to know if these will mess up my cardio?

I am a combat sport coach and ex-athlete. Here is the thingā€¦ the worst thing in a world for a fighter is when one coach teaches him this, another that, and guys on forum gives him cycle options, and they are not a part of the same team and dont work together.

The guy who is holding your pads should be the guy who gives you training advice and cycle advice IF they think its necessary for your weight class and future plans. Never take forum advice because no one knows your strengths, weaknesses, plans and realistic goals.

If you dont have a coach who can do all this, he is a shit coach. At the very least he should have people on board to reffer you to.

Would this be your first cycle?

I just donā€™t understand guys using AAS to cut when they are fat already. You can drop those kgā€™s without using testosterone or Anavar. AAS build muscle when you provide enough nutrients. So save them for that time.

What combat sport? MMA? Boxing? Wrestling?

I train Muay Thai and bjj while cycling low dose test, hgh, and proviron (taking winny would draw way too much attention to me). I noticed too much test negatively affects cardio. Anything above 100mg per week. Halotestin before comp.

If youā€™re regularly tested, I wouldnā€™t try proviron. Low dose of short ester T and HGH.

Proviron is only good for freeing up T, maybe a little strength gain. If you want strength gain go with winny or halo. Another option is mast.

Drop the Anavar. Youā€™re going to get too much of a pump striking in volume.

Grappling will significantly benefit from a test or winny dose.
