Hey everyone,

I’m planning my first cycle and wanted to get some opinions because I’m honestly a bit unsure about the protocol my coach gave me.

He suggested:

• 250mg Test E every 4 days
• 200mg Masteron every 4 days
• Anastrozole every 4 days starting after the second injection
• HCG every 4 days starting after the second injection

From what I’ve been reading, starting AI and HCG immediately without bloodwork/symptoms doesn’t seem universally recommended, especially on a first cycle.

Right now I’m thinking about ignoring the AI and HCG at the beginning and just running Test + Mast for now while monitoring how I feel and doing bloodwork.

I’m also wondering:

• would 250mg Test E every 3 days be too much for a first cycle?
• is E4D a better idea for a beginner?
• does adding Masteron this early even make sense?

My goal is mainly recomp / cutting while keeping muscle and improving overall well-being/performance.

Would appreciate honest advice from more experienced people. Thanks!
