Hi, I'm starting a log for feedback and advice. It's built on Test E and I'm trying to jumpstart it with some Var and Test gel.
I have questions about my stack, such as whether 8 weeks is too short and whether I should stretch to 10. As a newb, I'm trying to err on the side of caution with a shorter, lower dose cycle. But I'm open to advice on it.
I'm injecting into my ventral glute with a 25g 1" needle. It's only .5 ml injection, but the PIP still sucks. I've injected twice now (Thursday then Sunday) into both of my ventral glutes. The one from Thursday is still sore. The one from yesterday hurts like a motherfucker. The sore spot is not too big and it doesn't effect my ability to walk or lift weights. At least not yet. Still, wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I started the Test gel, Var, and Aromasin today (Monday).
Also having a hard time eating enough protein while staying clean. I notice a lot of people here have oats in their daily breakfast routine. What makes oats so great?

37 yo, 5'11", 182 lbs, ~12% bf
Goals:
Recomposition, lower bodyfat, increased muscle mass, increased endurance. I'd like to stay between 165 and 190 pounds, but turn my fat into muscle.
I have a strong upper body, can bench 275 10x. Haven't tried a 1RM in years, but last time I tried it was 325.
I have a strong lower body too, but weak lower back which limits me with squats and deads in terms of the weight I use.
The Cycle and PCT Plan:
1-2: test transdermal @5mg ED (35mg/week) to help kickstart
1-4: anavar @50mg x once a day
1-8: test e @150mg x 2x/week for 300mg total per week - (.5ml dose @300mg/ml)
1-8: gw-50 @5mg - cardio workout days orally + tribulus to minimize polyps - (.25ml dose @20mg/ml)
1-8: aromasin 12.5mg x twice a week, day after injection
3-8: HCGenerate - 2 caps x twice/day
creatine, fish oil, milk thistle, throughout
PCT
9-13: mk/ostarine @10mg ED orally in the morning - (.2ml dose @50mg/ml)
10-13: aromasin 12.5 mg once a week
10-13: forma stanzol ED - 5 pumps am, 5 pumps pm
10-13: reservatrol ED
11-12: clomid @50mg ED
13: clomid @50mg EOD
10-13: HCGenerate - 2 caps @2x/day
10-13: tribulus
13-20: bottle of Bridge
Also ordered some Nizoral and N2 shampoo and have a bunch of nolvadex on hand in case clomid doesn't sit well with me. I was going to do HCG but couldn't swing it in the end, so instead bought a couple extra bottles of HCGenerate so I have 3 bottles now, which I hope makes up for it.
Also considering extending the Var to 8 weeks. Or possibly trying the 6-MDROL for the second 4 weeks instead.
Workout
My workout is built around circuit training. I usually do 2 or 3 circuits of 10 exercises @2x-3x per week with 8-15 reps/set. I circuit train because increasing my endurance is a goal, as I also train Muay Thai and MMA and endurance is probably my biggest weakness in the sport.
Typically, my workout schedule looks like this:
Sunday: Rest
Monday: Circuit Train
Tuesday: HIIT Cardio then MMA Training
Wednesday: Circuit Train
Thursday: HIIT Cardio then MMA Training
Friday: MMA Training
Saturday: Circuit Train then HIIT Cardio
If I'm really beat, I may trade in the HIIT for some LISS cardio.
Diet
Diet is focused around eating clean high protein, high fiber, and low calories. I'm currently averaging about 150 grams of protein and 1800 calories per day. I intend to increase my protein intake to over 200g/day. Finding it hard to eat so much though without eating cheap garbage calories. Protein is mostly from deli meats and protein powder shakes (BSN Syntha-6). Carbs are low, but I'm not currently tracking. No bread, other than the occasional turkey sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast muffin frozen sandwich. Rice occasionally. Most carbs are coming from milk and frozen fruit in the protein smoothies.
Supplements I'm Taking
Protein Powder - BSN Syntha-6
Creatine Ethyl Ester
Fish Oil
Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc
Vitamin E
Reservatrol
L-Arginine
L-Citrulline
Maca (occasionally)
Hydroxycut (occasionally)
White Flood Pre-Workout (occasionally)
Any important sups I'm missing? BCAA's maybe? The BSN powder has some in it, I think 5 grams per serving and I'm drinking two a day.

- bench press (some days with dumbbells, some with barbell) - 225-275 lbs
- weighted pullups (25 lbs)
- squat to overhead shoulder press - 45 lb dumbbells
- bent over rows - same 45 lb dumbbells
- weighted dips (35 lbs)
- cable rows - 150 lbs
- chest fly - 50 lb cable
- back fly - 50 lb cable
- squat, deadlift, or leg press
- abs (planks, crunches, leg lifts)
