(If you are not in the mood to read all the info stuff, please see the last line for the main question)
I am 20 years old and have done 2 cycles before. The 2nd was good and planned out well and worked exactly how I wanted it to. The 1st was a misinformed waste of time I let a dumbass friend of mine talk me into.
I asked advice about starting a bulking cycle and well cause of my age was advised against juicing completely and stopping all current usage.
As I'm sure most of you realize, simply accepting that I am too young and stopping all using for another 3 or 4 years aint so easy when you basically had your heart set out on it and had your goals clear cut. My plan from the beginning was to cut for one cycle then bulk up on the next and then simply try and maintain what I had gained as much as I could naturally with hopes that I could maintain 60% of the bulk gains and with my diet pretty clean already, be able to keep the body fat at its current 13%.
I train very hard and smart. I plan my routines and always try to think about what I am doing during the exercises. Ive been training for 5 years now so I think in that regard, ive got the experience. I weighed nearly 300lbs when I first started (obese kid) and now weigh 198lbs. Most of the weight I shed in the last 3 years as I improved my knowledge on nutrition and training. Current stats are:
Max bench: 290lbs
Max squat: 340lbs (Think I would be able to do more but had a knee injury in rugby when I was younger than had to be surgically fixed due to me being over weight)
Max deadlift: 420lbs
(These were all about 30-40lbs lighter prior to the juicing)
The cutting cycle ( 50mg/day Winstrol (winny) and 40mg/day Anavar) (Not the best cycle to go on but it worked), helped me lose the last 8-10lbs I was struggling with on my torso.
(Sorry for the long story but I want an informed response)
So back to the point, I really wanted to go on the bulking cycle to gain about 20-30lbs of muscle on my frame to improve my rugby (weight is a big deal in this sport). But after all I've read, Im no longer convinced its a good idea but a large part of me still wants this bulking cycle(dbol 50mg/day:3 weeks, test-e 600mg/week:15 weeks and equi 600mg/week:15 weeks) because I planned it to be my last in any case for a number of years.
So basically my question is, at my age but considering that I have had two cycles already, will this one more cycle have a high possibility of impacting my long term health more so than the 2 I have already done (in terms of being able to have kids and having normal endocrine function) (Not so worried about my height as I am much taller than both my parents although shorter than my younger brother but he overtook me 4 years ago.) or should I just simply find a way to except what I got now and suck it up?
I appreciate any and all responses.
