COMMENTS AND CONCERNS:
Obviously I am young to be running a cycle, however, I have serious goals to enter competitive bodybuilding. I understand the risks fully and accept the very real possibility that one day I may need testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if I begin down this path. I also feel that my own free and total levels are quite low for my age and the fact that I have never run a cycle before. If my goal was just to get back to normal levels, than I would definitely just try a restart, however my interests lay in competing.

Another idea is that I may be a little small to start a cycle. After playing with diet/training/supplements and still being stagnant at this weight for about 2 years, I feel that I am close to genetic limits. My father being 6'1 and around 170-180, although he did not weight train.

My overall goals are to add as much quality mass as possible, while maintaining or possibly decreasing body fat slightly with diet.

Dam thats the most put togather, thought out cycle I've seen for a first cycle post thumbs up. the diet is still a blur is that completely in check?
 
re

yea..... ive been a member for a while and been researching and reading retard post after retard post for 6 months....thought i'd put a little effort into mine. Also, I really think my diet is in check....especially for gaining mass. Defintely don't know how to diet for cutting though, gonna worry about that later though as i'm more worried about putting on serious mass. Also, i didnt think anyone would care to read my diet from meal to meal.

....i think i hear 3J coming...

lol. you going to keep a journal log on the forum? Be interested in your progress
 
I'd interested to follow your log, as I am same height as you, a lil' older, 38, and this morning I weighed in at 195. I am a couple points higher in B.F. %. I get tired of bigger guys telling me I get "bigger" faster and with less effort because of my height.
 
re

damn 195 with tad more bf percentage with that height is awesome.....kinda where i wanna be. But yea, just because you are shorter doesnt mean it's easier to put on more mass. I think sometimes when smaller guys put mass on it just looks better because we have less surface area to cover, which results in the same amount of mass gain looking more muscular....just my opinion
 
Excellent post and awesome work on your research. That was a very well thought out post and it sounds like you've put a lot in to this. I wish you the best of luck. I will be following.
 
Great research Bro - good luck and keep us posted. Yep I hear about the short vs tall crap too 5'6 1/2" here.

i think you heard right!!!

cycle looks fine.. split looks fine.. but without posting up a diet i cant say the diet looks fine..

are you trying to bulk or lean out?
 
re

well, just did my first injection tonight, got my syringes and needles, and was excited to get started...so i frontloaded 250mg.....from here on out ist 300mg monday thursday.

I'd be lying if i said i wasn't shaking at first, but it was absolutely painless. I guess my main fear was like hitting a nerve or blood vessel. I aspirated, saw nothing so pushed it all in, probly too fast, took me like 10-15 seconds tops. I did bleed upon pulling it out, but not alot. Was kind of like a bead of blood that kept coming after i dried it off, like when you cut yourself shaving....so i cleaned with an alcohol swab and put a little bandaid on it. btw used 23 guage 1.5 inch........i'm no longer a gearvirgin!!!
 
re

also 3J, if you see this, could you pm me with your info and what it takes to get started with you?
