as cc said do a cut later do a few bulks first but as a newbie best advice is when ur not training read read and read theres loads of info on here. but your saying u want lean bulk. I find i hold less water with sust pinning twice a week. but alot of people think test e is the better product u could add some winny tabs in the last six weeks of ur cycle this would help balance out there water retention and help harden the muscle your gaining.
