Hi y'all, my first half natty cycle was clen, I am currently on clen trying to lean down before starting a test cycle, what should I do for my first cycle? I wanna buy test e on a Sunday auction, nolvadex and arimidex, should I get something eles? I wanna run test for close to 20 weeks, should I add some var at the start/end of the cycle? My gear budget is kinda thight.
I wanna hear your opinions! Hope you can help me out.

For a first cycle, you should only use testosterone, and the cycle shouldn’t be longer than 16 weeks. To test things out, I would stay under 300 mg per week so you can learn how your body reacts and how to manage potential side effects.
To keep your testes active, I would recommend HCG, as it can help prevent testicular atrophy. You can find more information here:

First, clen isn’t “half natty”… it’s already a drug, and not a gentle one either. If you’re already using it, make sure you’re actually controlling diet and cardio, because that’s what really drives fat loss.
About your first cycle, keep it simple. You don’t need to stack things. Test alone works very well if everything else is in place.
Something like a moderate dose of Test E, split twice a week, for a reasonable duration is more than enough to see how your body responds. 20 weeks is on the long side for a first run, especially if you don’t know yet how you react.
Arimidex and Nolvadex are fine to have on hand, but don’t rush into using them unless you actually need them.
As for Anavar… with a tight budget, I’d skip it. It won’t make or break your results. You’ll get most of your gains from test, food and training anyway.
If anything, invest more in diet, bloodwork and consistency. First cycle is about learning your body, not trying to build the “perfect stack”.

That would mean running a lower dose, for example around 150 mg per week (just a personal opinion and something that should always be adjusted based on your bloodwork). During a cruise, you are still significantly more anabolic compared to being on or after PCT, where you are mostly in a maintenance state.
However, you have to keep in mind that cruising typically means your HPTA stays suppressed, and the likelihood of eventually needing long-term TRT is quite high. With the PCT route, you will have longer periods off, but you at least give your body the chance to recover its natural hormone production.
A big factor in all of this is also genetics, as recovery and how your body responds can vary significantly from person to person.
