Here are a few tweaks to improve safety and minimize side effects:

Test E (250mg/week) → 8 weeks is too short; 12 weeks is better since it kicks in late.

Anavar (30mg/day) → Run for 6 weeks, not 8, to reduce liver strain.

Arimidex (0.25mg EOD) → Only use if you get high estrogen sides, don’t crash it.

PCT Fixes:

Clomid: 50/50/25/25 (your dose is too high).

Nolva: 40/40/20/20 (drop weeks 5-6).
250 MGS of test a week makes no sense at all to me. It's higher than just a trt dose but not enough to really get full benefits from the testosterone.

Using 250 a week he's , basically, doing just 30 mgs a day of Anavar. Why not use at least 500 of test??

I know 250 is about useless because I have done it. When I was just starting, didn't know much, I took 250 MGS of test E a week and it did so little.

I forgot to add my weight, sorry :D It's 67 kg (147 lbs). I have no issue losing weight; I just don't want to lose the little muscles I have. So I force myself to eat in a calorie surplus every single day.


I have come to the conclusion that I am not ready for gear yet - because I clearly don't know enough and because I'm still new to working out (a year so far).

Thank you all for your amazing replies. I'm saving them for when I feel ready. I think I'll wait at least a year. My body building journey has only just begun :) I'm really thankful for your replies... really! :)

My next step is to figure out how much to eat. I find it kind of irritating that I force myself to eat enough to gain muscles yet it negatively affects my body fat % that just keeps going up (slowly, but still) ... or for how long I have to live in calorie surplus :D
It sounds as though you have a very mature attitude towards this. Focusing on your diet and training, and getting those aspects on point are more important. You really don't know your body well enough yet, and there are gains to be made prior to going the PED route. Having a great base will result in better results should you decide later on a cycle.
If I weren't 60 years old with total test that tanked in the double digits, I wouldn't be on anything either. Also, I don't know if this was said before, but get bloodwork.
