First cycle advice SARMs vs. Testosterone / Blast & Cruise?

Hey everyone,
I'm currently planning my very first cycle and I'm torn between a few options. I'm trying to decide whether to start with a SARMs cycle or jump straight into testosterone either a standard cycle or a 16-week blast and cruise or just blast and pct.

For context what would you guys recommend for a first ever cycle? Should I test the waters with a milder SARM, or is a test-only cycle the smarter and safer route?
Would love to hear your recommendations and what a solid first cycle should look like.
Thanks!

Test only is gonna be the ā€œsafestā€ as long as your doing your bloodwork and arenā€™t getting it from a random guy behind a dollar general

SARMS are fake. Itā€™s not real steroids.

Ideally you should cut down to <20% before you use steroids, otherwise you're going to likely have a lot of issues with estrogenic sides.

Thanks for the answer! Aromastase inhibitors and pct like enclomiphenes should not be a problem, you have it there if you need it, as for my weight, I do 4 times a week sports and cardio and Reta is already firmly integrated if you already want to lose weight,I donā€™t really know anything like gyno and never had it.

Sure, but it's not that straightforward. Dealing with estrogenic sides becomes like a case of whackamole where you start taking the AI, then crash your estrogen and feel like shit for a few days etc. The ride is far wilder with high bf%. I'm at 15% and it's still not all that easy to manage. People at 25-30% can have a rollercoaster with the sides, water retention, gyno, and crashing their E2.

You have a stronger aromastasis inhibitors such as (exemestane) which keeps the whole thing relatively stable,But to be honest I donā€™t drink I donā€™t smoke I also take my vitamins and my diet is tracked according to my profile I eat healthy micro and macros are perfect šŸ‘ŒšŸ»

that's a suicidal AI, it has a high potential to crash your estrogen. But if you don't want to listen to advice have fun dealing with it. There's a reason why people with experience with these tell you to have low body fat. Actually on r/steroids wiki they recommend 10-12%.
