Hello I need a tad bit of guidance

[Greed]

I'm 23 and I plan on using steroids. I read a lot but not sure if its enough to answer a few questions.

I lifted for 2 years and have a solid base. What I'm not sure is if my first cycle will be the deal breaker into doing more. I started lifting at 18 and stopped at 20 after learning all the things that I needed to know at the gym. Then I was pretty much set as the two year time frame I created for building muscle opened my eyes to other things that I pursueing in life. Whether it be enjoying movies, playing video games, or just a walk on the beach. I stopped lifting for 3 years as I was occupied with the small things in life.

Now that I'm back in the mood to try out a cycle and was wondering if I'm up to par with the things I need to know.

I'm know that muscles have memory I'll be able to somewhat pack on the muscles at a much more quicker rate so after I get back to my base I'll try out a cycle.

So I don't have a list to show cause I wanted to know if just a straight Testosterone cycle for a good 10-12 weeks to see what the substance can do to my body.

I'm currently 6'0 177

I'm shooting for 200.

I read how testosterone alone, if properly cycled a person can get anywhere from 20-30 lbs of muscle and that sounds amazing to be honest.

Can someone guide me as to what else I should know and research?

Like links would be awesome and I'm just a beginner as I only know the definitions of certain terminolgy used in the steroid world such as, "bulk/cut/anabolic/catabolic/aromatize/estrogen/gyro..I'm not a scientists hehe...

You do NOT need AAS at this stage....

You will grow like a weed for the first 3-6 months on good diet and training alone...

I would only consider jumping on AAS, once you've got your original muscle back, added some more and then hit a plateau.

This ^^^ and more.
No offense but you seem to not know just how serious of a lifter you are yet and you want some short cut. What you don't know is at your age you Can put on 20-30 pounds but not Lean muscle mass. It will be a little muscle and a lot of water and glycogen.
Quickly and I wouldn't give you ALL the examples and proof right now you can research I.

A man can ONLY grow 15-20 lbs of LMM in one year. IN ONE YEAR. you want to go from 177 to 200. Nope won't be muscle. So you are doing 3 months out of one year do the math concerning muscle mass.

Listen to what bigbenn said. Read up and get to know all you need to know before you cycle. Take 2 years and get your diet on point and learn how to put it and training to work together.
Do more research good luck

Honestly man I understand your desire to cycle. But what you need to realize is that gear is not a miracle drug, it greatly enhances what you should already be doing pre cycle. So if you've taken years off lifting now what makes you think you won't do that soon after your cycle? Do you know that if you take a cycle and put on a ton of weight and don't continue to lift and eat with serious motivation you will shrink back to your current size? And you will have played with your hormones for nothing. Not to mention everyone in your life will see you shoot up in size and then go right back, it will be apparent that you used steroids and "did something wrong."

My recommendation:

Get on a good workout plan. Stick to it. Figure out your diet macros and get on a serious bulk. Stick with it. If you can keep a serious regimen for the next year-year and a half then I would go ahead and take a beginner test cycle. You need to KNOW that this is something you will stick with. Lifting for a year, stopping for 3, etc, means you are NOT ready for a cycle. This is not baby aspirin you will be taking, and you need to be dedicated to some kind of training lifestyle before you go and play with your sex hormones.

Ask yourself: does it sound smart for someone who hasn't lifted in 3 years to take anabolic steroids? This isn't a joke, you can cause problems with your health that can last a lifetime. At the very least, you'll just get bigger for a couple months then shrink back down and good luck staying motivated after that. If you eat a lot and lift heavy and often you have a ton of newb gains to be made at your build.

Be smart!!!

All out of love
