Hello, I am currently a college student who has become very interested in the field of AAS due to my exposure to highschool football, wrestling, and mixed martial arts; as well as friends, watching "bigger, stronger, faster" and reading my fair share of research/medical articles. As of now i've taken almost every supplement (or atleast supplement type-preworkout energy drinks to growth stimulating sleep aids) out there looking for an "extra edge" but have found nothing to be really useful besides a good quality protein supplementation. I currently hit the weight room around five days a week with a two day rest, usually hitting every major group once and secondaries (bi's/tri's/etc.) with the primary groups (back/chest) as well as devoting an "arm day" to them.
STATS:
I'm 6'1" and around 200-205 pounds with around 13% bodyfat. Bench max= 320, Rep 225 5 reps x 3 sets military press, rep out 550 pounds on leg press and hack squat (stopped regular squat due to knee pains after football), usually deadlift around 185-225 10x4 sets (dont go too heavy because i dont want to strain lower back- any form advice id be happy to accept), barbell row 135 and do alot of reps to focus on form, alot of chin/pull ups, 225 10 reps x 4 sets of power barbell shrugs and various other exercises (dumbell row, lat pull down, shoulder dumbell exercises and arms) but the above are the main staples with usually 20 minutes of cardio each day.
I take 2-3 protein shakes a day (one in the morning with breakfast and one before bed always, but sometimes i am unable to fit one in after gym at college but almost always eat after gym regardless) with a diet consisting of alot of chicken, oatmeal, egg whites, spinach, broccoli, rice, beans, milk 2%, whole wheat bread, apples/other fruits, and rice as the main components.
My question is should i start a Test E cycle (recommended first timer cycle for newbie) @ 500 mg per week at 21 or should i wait a little longer til my body is done "developing?'' My general impression is that testosterone will help my body develope if administered correctly, but i am not opposed to getting better diet and workout suggestions from vets and waiting until the right time to start an AAS regiment. Any info/help will be greatly appreciated and im sorry if any of my post offends/upsets anyone (not that i think i will) but i would just love real advice/help. Thank everyone for their time (i know this wasn't exactly a short read)
