First Cycle, Gathering Info.

Diabetic Eli

Time to go to work.
Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to help me.


Age: 21
Height: 5"11
Weight: 158~162
Body Fat: 8.6%

For my first cycle I am wanting to bulk up. I am looking for a cycle that is for beginners, though I have been lifting since I was 19. All the articles I have read suggest Testosterone E. 500mg/week for 12 weeks.

1.) What are your opinions?
2.) Where do you purchase this and the 25 + 18 gauge needles I will need?
3.) This question is kind of weird, I am on an insulin pump and a CGM Current Glucose Monitor which tells me what my blood sugar is 24/7. As some of you know the pump pumps insulin into me through a tube and that tube is connected to a reservoir. Can i use that reservoir to hold the Testosterone and have it go directly in? (This was curiosity I don't think it will work, which is why I am asking. Be nice pls.)

Also, I am eating ALOT more and using insulin because I read that can help you bulk as well. More carbs, More protein, less fat. Should I continue this or just eat normally and be sparing?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

How much have you really read if you missed the no source questions part?

Are you really diabetic or just using the insulin and pump to get effects?

You're still young and should look into side effects and age. I have a hard time believing your BF % is that low. It could very well be but i think it's probably higher. In the meantime you can bulk naturally and increase your lbm substantially until the time you're ready to start AAS.
 
Considering you have a name of Diabetic Eli I would suggest you keep your insulin and pump for what it is for, controlling your diabetes.

Also, considering that you want to use your meds that control your blood sugar levels for body building purposes, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that you do not have the mental discipline to do AAS.

Seriously, wait. Wait til you are 25 years old, at least. You say that you started when you are 19 years old, that gives you about 2 years of experience for lifting. I started around that age, but I didn't get GOOD at lifting til 23, and I am just getting the diet down now. You should check out the diet and training forum, it is a little underrated on this site, but it will give you a great foundation for when you are ready to do AAS.
 
Ok so a good workout routine then? Thanks to everyone who has replied, and yes I have type 1 diabetes.

For strength look into "Starting Strengh" by Mark Rippetoe or another beginner strength program. Push/pull, upper/lower, volume training, WS4SB etc. all very good programs and with the proper diet will give you loads of strength and decent mass.
