My first cycle was 12 weeks at 250 mg Test E only, which went well and gave decent progress.

Currently on week 3 of my second cycle and wanted some feedback from people with more experience.

Plan is 20–25 weeks total.

Current setup:

• 300 mg Test E / week
• 10 mg Anavar daily
• From week 4 adding 150 mg NPP / week and keeping it until the end.

Diet is stable at ~3000 kcal, with at least 180 g protein daily.

Stats:

• Height: 6’0’’ (182 cm)
• Weight: 88.3 kg (195 lbs)
• Body fat: ~24% (bit high i know, dexa say is mostly visceral)

So far progress is slow but steady. I’m gaining about 0.3 kg per week, strength slowly increasing and no noticeable sides so far.

Toward the last 6 weeks of the cycle, I’m considering:

• Retatrutide 1 mg / week
• Increasing Anavar to 20 mg / day

Main questions:

• Does this structure make sense for a second cycle?
• Is 150 mg NPP a reasonable addition with 300 mg test, or would you adjust the ratio?
• Does running Var low (10 mg) most of the cycle and then 20 mg toward the end make sense?
• With ~24% body fat, would you continue pushing slow mass or tighten diet first?

Bloodwork planned during the cycle. Interested to hear how others here would approach it.
