My goals would be to be on 20 lbs or so and keep as much of that as possible (thus why i was considering the equipoise ive heard the gains are much leaner and easier to retain). As far as the Sustanon (sust) goes i know it's a combination of 4 testosterone esters, etc. To be honest the reason i chose it as opposed to to Test C/E/P is becuase I don't know much about them and have a few older buddies that claim the Sustanon (sust) should do just fine. For liver suppurt i have more than enough Liver 52 DS & all the supplements and eating habits to go along with it (of this I'm sure). As for the research aspect your probably right ... I've done a good bit and for the last month or so it's pretty much how I spend my entire day but still i do not know nearly enough I'm constantly finding contradictory information, etc. If some of the questions i ask come off stupid, I appologize. I find it much easier to ask direct questions rather than to search for particular answers in a round about way. Thank you for all your help, if nothing else it gives me direction for my research!!
first off, no question is stupid here in regards to learning.
second, none of us are experts on this stuff. Unfortunately people have a way of just regurgatating second and third hand info they have no experience with, they just read it somewhere else. That is why you are having so many conflicting things to read.
AAS is all about learning what works right for you. This is why I love and hate these boards. Many times people will read so much, start a cycle, and then read something else and change shit up a million times and wonder why they have cannonball zits and no gains.
Sustanon is fine. Don't sweat the esters, but i would suggest at least a E3D protocol to keep blood levels stable as possible. Some will say EOD. These are all suggestions.
Pick a good cycle that sounds reasonable to you, and stcik with it for the duration. If you get sides, then you know what you did and why it happened. If you change shit up you never know why you get sides. Since you've only done Var. Here's what Id do.
Week 1-12 Sustanon (sust) @ 500mg week
Week 1-4 Dbol @ 25-50mg/week
Week 16-19 Clomid @ 50mg/day
Most will say on this board to have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand, so if you do, get Aromasin. Of course Nolva will keep gyno at bay. Either way, choice is yours.
Most importantly, know that AAS is just a tool. Get rid of that 20lbs idea cuz you'll be setting yourself up for failure. Get a measuring tape and do a good BF check somewhere (no stupid machines you buy at GNC). use those as guides. Cuase like i always say, if you weigh even less than when you started, but look badass in the end... who gives a fuck how much you weigh. No hot chick wants to fuck a guy she meets on the beach cause she knows he's 245lbs. She is just like us... VISUAL!!
Good luck.
