1st real cycle for an athlete; Test E + Var?

[RepubCarrier]

Here the plan:

-Test E: 1 shot every 5 days (350mg/week), weeks 1-10
-Anavar powder: 25mg ED weeks 3-4, 50mg ED weeks 5-11
-Nolva 10-20mg ED, 40-40-20-20 scheme for PCT
-Anti-E of some kind on hand... not sure what to get yet, though...

Basically I tried, for 3.5 weeks, an all oral cycle last athletic season and the water retention absolutely killed my endurance on the field. I looked great and was strong as an ox, though... but that doesnt do any good when you're out of breath from walking up the stairs. I want to do it right this time around. My questions are:

1) Are there any athletes here who can comment on how 350-500mg test/week feels in terms of water retention and cardiovascular endurance?
2) If so, how did you deal with it... what anti-E did you use and at what dose, and how did this end up effecting your endurance?
3) Have any athletes here done a var + test cycle, and can they compare it to test alone (strength, endurance, weight gain, etc)?

this would help me out immensely... thanks to anyone who can offer anything.

I had no endurance problems with propiaonate, probably due to the fact that it doesn't retent as much water. I would switch to prop instead of enanthate.

I would, but for the factors of cost and that I have never injected anything before and would rather manage 15 shots over the cycle instead of 70+. I have heard that prop is good idea from many people though, and I think I might try it the next time around.

Any other experiences?

I am a college athlete myself, and I have not had any problems with endurance. I have seen some water retention with my sustanon cycles, but nothing that is just terrible. Winstrol has helped me incredibly with my endurance in my cycles previously, so you might think about throwing that in if you are concerned with loosing your endurance.
