Considering a cycle, first timer
New member here, I've been considering running a cycle for a while now and have been trying to do as much research as physically possible to understand every aspect that I can. I've decided on one thing for certain though, no injections.
Here's a bit about me:
18.5 years old
Just over 3 years training experience
Paid my dues in regards to strength training. (600 deadlift, 405 squat, 285 bench. These have dropped since I cut, but foundation is there)
Diet/nutrition is in check
Multiple experiences with bulking/cutting. Started at 270lbs, cut to 160ish, then bulked/cut my way to ~200lbs at a low BF%. 5'11".
Have some gyno from obese childhood and some not so tight skin, keeping me from getting a dry appearance.
Overall goals with running a cycle:
Drop some BF%, hopefully shrink gyno, and obtain vascular/dry appearance. I do not need to worry about packing on size really, I can do that with food just fine. Maybe add some strength, but they all will do this to a degree.
Obviously, I want as few side effects as possible. Will run with liver supports and proper PCT. Planning on mild compounds.
Compounds I've considered:
Ironmaglabs epi andro+_______
Epistane
Tbol
Now I know I will get all sorts of comments about cycling at my age. Please, go ahead and throw as many comments you want towards me. I'm open to everything and want to learn as much as possible. It's a gamble at my age, but with research and proper product use I feel as if I can reduce the chance of anything going south.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can gladly post pictures of my current physique as proof that I'm not just some 18 yearold wanting to "GET HUGE QUICK," as I'm sure you guys see plenty of those threads...

Is there any reason for me to be stacking epistane with epi andro? Obviously, I would want to see some results afterwards, but if this would be too much, then I would stick to just one of them.
I think epiandro plus epistane might be too dry on the joints. Both are anti-estrogenic.
For a first time cycler, and possibly even several cycles in, I would typically recommend only one compound because until you know how that compound acts on its own in your body, you would be hard pressed to determine what effects are from what compound.
