This will be my first cycle of using any type of injectable steroid... I have trenbolone a and test 400... I've been seeing that tren a on a first cycle might not be a good idea. Thoughts? Advice? Should I just go with the test 400 alone. I'm 35, 6ft, 170 and would like to gain 20 pounds of lean, hard muscle.

Definitely a bad idea to use trenbolone on a first cycle. It is extremely potent, and its side effects are very harsh and tricky. So it is best to leave it for later. Believe you me - for a first time you will have more than enough with testosterone alone, since your body will be hyper-responsive to the compound, and you will get some great results. There is no need for additional compounds.
My goal is 190... a lean ripped 190... I would never want to break 200. I understand that with my height, more weight is expected but I'd much prefer to preserve my knees and joints. I also don't want to bulk and then lean out... you hear that muscle and fat have a memory of their own and they never really go away they just shrink... I would hate to build fat and one day have it come creeping back... thoughts?
So I can't build while on test or whatever I'm taking? I have to build prior? I've recently increased my calorie intake to 3100 and protein to 225 grams. But I just don't see the point in getting fat or adding weight prior. I know bodybuilders do that but I'm not and don't want to be a bodybuilder. I just want 20 to 25 pounds and I want to be very lean. I feel that anything over 200 pounds is unhealthy for my knees and for my joints and really just unnecessary. We all have different goals and mine just happen to be a much lighter version...
It sounds like steroids might not be for you then. Maybe just work with diet and use something like SARMs.

Pete03 - do you mind me asking how long have you been training hard?
I first started at the age of 23... so 12 years ago... I'm a very slim individual... I graduated at the age of 18 at 6ft 128... so 170 now is progress... I just need an added motivation/incentive to lifting. I've hit a peak with my motivation and I believe test will push me to want to work harder. As far as raining hard? I haven't trained hard in about 8 months... I've been serious for about 2 weeks now and plan to take light dose of test400 when I hit a month of training hard (5 to 6 days a week) thoughts?

Well I'm not one of the "pros" on here but I really think your goal is unrealistic and the use of juice will not get you there ...you may need 2-3 cycles.
PED will give you a the best results if everything else is dialed in and at 3100 calories (recently- 2 weeks??) and only 225 g protein... You do need to tweak your food plan a bit.
What do your macros look like? I'd expect some of the gurus to call for a 55% protein / 25% fat / 20% Carb ratio. (IMO) *consider carb cycling for sure. Remember you will need some fat to build
Then a simple TEST E only cycle (400 mg is fine) - pin twice a week, use an AI from the start, add in a cardarine to help stay lean, and then PCT as per the proper PCT notes on this site.
But TBH if your only 2 weeks back from an 8 month hiatus - I really wouldn't do a cycle for at least 6 month of lifting heavy frickin weights and get the ligaments and joints ready for the strength that's coming.

but also as far as motivation goes - I wouldn't want to rely on a PED to increase that - that comes from within brother. I know guys who pin and are lazy fucks, think this is a magic bullet which its not.

Are you currently taking anything for your joints and ligaments?
This is the stack I recommend to any of my clients who are experiencing joint pain -
A good joint supplement like n2joint rx from n2bm.com + 25mg ostarine + 3-6g of a high quality fish oil per day

This will actually help heal and repair your joints and ligaments, along with reducing pain and inflammation.
