Carverelli, I appreciate that. In this reply i wanted to start by saying i feel embarrassed on how my initial post may have portrayed me to be (dumb as hell) and secondly though it may be obvious i do not want any unclear water on the forum; i do not expect to become an expert regarding the human anatomy at a cellular level overnight. At the same time i'm eager to begin cycling this year, i feel as though ive hit a Plato and like many others i love the feeling juice gives me over the time of a cycle "nectar of the gods" feeling. I have the connection and the means to run cycles, but i am not willing to take a shot in the dark with these drugs and "fuck" my HPTA. I now realize that up to this point, and even now on many subjects concerning gear and anatomy i was/am ignorant of many important aspects; its amazing how much information is available on the internet.. all you have to do is look. With this being said i hope to have painted a picture to you that i am in fact serious about continuing forward in learning and eventually starting a cycle with the utmost care and responsibility and having taken all precautions necessary... Moving on, I'm not done reading up but at this point it is clear to me it is 100 percent necessary (in my opinion) to run an inject-able steroid on any cycle in men. with that being said i want to eventually make a decision on which Test ether i will go with as well as the decision to "stack" or consider this my first cycle (since it has been 3 years) and just run test for an undetermined amount of time. With this being said is anyone willing to give me advice on which drugs would be best for my goals, dosages when to administer the dosage and where on the body to administer based on information that i could provide concerning my body and history to include all details deemed necessary as well as a copy of my blood work which i have not yet ordered? I am considering the female hormone panel that Megatron suggested in his Ology sticky. Also i am considering of just asking my doctor at the VA. Referring to my question for advice, i want to reiterate that i understand someone cannot give advice over the internet with limited details for everyone is different and it would be considered bad advice and a shot ion the dark to do so. with that being said again, ill continue and give whatever information i can about my body and history that i can without a blood test at this time.
Goal: At this time i do not have an ambition to compete in body building competitions though i may have ambition to compete in the future. overall goal is to put on 40 pounds of lean muscle mass within the next 12 months, keep in mind this amount of weight is not set in stone but rather a ball park of what i would like to see. Aslo if i learn that this may be too much i would not push past my limitations to meet an unrealistic goal (safety first)
Body facts: 195 lbs 5'11 and athletic body, broad shoulders defined pex muscular back and arms and thinner legs (not chicken legs but not tree trunks either) I can take measurements if anyone would think they need it.
history: started working out in the gym at 16 under guidance and supervision of my father who has experience building his athletic body in and out of the gym (familiar with good form) dont want to tear my rotater cups. Tapered off of bodybuilding in 2010 when i joined the navy and attended Navy dive school in Panama city, FL the reason was that they had me doing 100 pushups at a time and running up to 10 miles at any given time of the day, body building was counteractive at the time. After my graduation from Navy dive school (NDSTC) in Aug of 2011 i was stationed in Yokosuka japan where i trained for triathlons and long distance swimming. In 2012 sometime i got bored of running my ass off and decided it was time to get back in the gym, in 4 months i went from 205 lbs to 235 lbs at 17 % body fat. Felt great. Since then i left the military with an honorable discharge and began working the oilfield as a pipe welder, although i have stayed in the gym my eating habbits as far as big macs and whoppers has improved which is why i think im 195 instead of 210.
Current: Im currently on a 4on 1off workout routine with two cardio days within the week, i can upload my workouts in necessary.
Current Diet:
Meal 1 at 7AM: 6 boiled eggs with smoothy consisting of strawberries blueberries yogurt and carrot juice and one pice of wheat toast with JIFF peanut butter.
Meal 2 at 11AM: serving of meat veggies carbs
Meal 3 at 3PM: serving of meat and veggies and fruit
Meal 4 at 7PM: serving of meat veggies and carbs.
Also i am taking in 100g of protein via whey protein shakes daily. and drinking 4 liters of water daily.
Thanks again to carverelli and megatron for the given advice.
