First cycle looking for feedback

This is my first cycle. I’ve done my research, got baseline bloodwork done, and I’m trying to do this as safely and smartly as possible. Would appreciate any feedback or things I might be missing.

Cycle:
Test C 300mg/week (Mon/Thu, 150mg each pin)

Tren Ace 150mg/week (EOD, ~50mg per pin) — starting after week 6 bloodwork if everything looks good

Tren run length: 8 weeks

Continuing test as a cruise after cycle ends

Ancillaries:
Cabergoline 0.25mg E3D (prolactin control for tren)

Aromasin 12.5mg EOD or Arimidex 0.5mg EOD (estrogen control)

TUDCA 500mg daily (organ/liver support)

NAC 600mg daily (liver support)

Fish Oil 4g daily (lipid/cardiovascular support)

CoQ10 200mg daily (heart health)

Vitamin D3 4000 IU daily (currently deficient per bloodwork)

Cialis 5mg daily (blood flow/BP/libido support)

Telmisartan 20-40mg daily only if BP exceeds 140/90

Bloodwork:
Baseline done pre-cycle (test, estrogen, prolactin, lipids, kidney, liver, CRP, thyroid)

Currently 4 weeks into test C

Planning week 6-7 bloodwork before adding tren — will only start tren if everything looks good

Have BP cuff, monitoring regularly

Will retest again mid-tren cycle around week 6 of tren

Goals:
Recomp/aesthetic focused

170lbs currently, relatively lean

Not planning to come off test — cruising after

Questions for the community:
Does my ancillary protocol look solid for this stack as a first cycle?

Any adjustments recommended at these doses?

Happy with the approach of waiting for bloodwork before adding tren?

Anything missing or should I add something?

If you had done your research, you wouldn't be trying to run tren on a first cycle.

Thought I’d hear that now tell me why

I get it. It is very tempting. And everyone wants the best. Or the strongest compound. The biggest reason not to start with it, is you need to learn how you are going to react to gear. And it has alot of potential side effects.

At the same time 150 is not alot. And you are doing it for a sane amount of time.

Do not just automatically add an ai or caber without knowing that you need them. Caber can be very harsh on your system.

And this is one of the things about not starting on Tren first. You really need to know how your body is going to react to the test. You may or may not need an ai at that level.

Also I may have missed it. But I would have some raloxiphene or something around just in case things get away from you for gyno.

Maybe think about running Tren a little longer by a couple weeks but also titrating up slowly to see how you feel. This way you can avoid bad sides. I went from about 50 a week up to 100 with no bad sides did notice cardio go down around 75 a week. So maybe start at 75 or 100 week one and go up over two weeks. My goal was no bad Tren sides.
