Second Cycle Advice: Test + Deca + Var

Pharma / TRT
1

Hi all, would love some thoughts and guidance…

34 y/o cis-male
6’0"
Currently 155 lbs

15 years of lifting experience
Had to take the last year off because of a bad shoulder injury
Back at the gym now, lifting 5 days a week with some help from a trainer

1.5 years ago did a cycle of test 300 2x/week for 12 weeks followed by tapering and then boosted natural T with herbs successfully, had some nice gains but was not eating enough and gains were limited (now i know!)

Looking at the following protocol-

Weeks 1-12:
IM injection of test 300mg 2x/week + deca 300mg 2x/week
Arimidex: 0.25mg / day
3000 kcal per day / 180 grams protein per day
Cardio 2-3x/week @ 20-30 mins sustained with apx HR 120-130 bpm
Continue lifting 5-6 days/week

Weeks 13+:
Still evaluating PCT options, either taper test, AI, or others tbd
(some PCT will require 2 weeks off stack before starting)
Diet exercise TBD

Questions:
(1) Any suggested tweaks to the cycle weeks 1-12?
(2) Would adding Anavar at some point in the cycle be OK to help with a little bit of fat loss around the belly and giving a little bit more cut? Or is it pointless? If not, what dosage and for how many weeks (I’ve been reading around 50mg/day)?

Thank you!

I would stop Deca at least 2 weeks before stopping Test.

As for the rest, I’ll let more experienced members to answer.

At 6’0" and 155 lbs

  1. Eat more. A lot more.
  2. If you’re 155 lbs and 6’0" concerned about fat loss, you shouldn’t even be cycling yet.

Anavar isn’t for fat loss. Fat loss comes from diet and diet alone. What Anavar is good for is strength, hardening, giving you an all around “full” look when you’re diet and training are up to par. It’s a great compound.

That’s a heavy dosage of adex. What’s your prior experience with adex as it relates to test dosages from your first cycle?

Thanks!

Would you recommend I skip the anavar then, or would it be helpful to boost results towards the end of my cycle?

I didn’t take adex with my last cycle. Would you recommend taking less or not take any until I might seen any progestin type signs?

If you want to run test/deca and var, which in thealry is a fine cycle. I’ve run very similar with amazing results.

Run the safer bet…test prop, NPP and Var in the neighborhood of 100-150prop EOD, 75-100 NPP EOD, 50-100var ED.

There is no reason to run deca with NPP accessible.
