Hi guys
I've been reading threads on this site for over a year now, regarding various AAS's that I've either heard about or wanted to find out more information about. So far, I've learnt a considerable amount of information about many different steroids and when I haven't understood a particular term or phrase that many of you guys have used, I've gone and "Google'd" the word in order to broaden my knowledge about steroids and bodybuilding.
I am 18 years old, and will be 19 in 2 months time, and have been training for 5 years now, with 4 of those training seriously. I have only started training with a proper diet for about 2 years now, whilst training to put on as much mass as possible. I have mixed up my training program numerous times throughout my training career, from doing 4 sets of 12 reps per exercise for about 4 exercises per muscle group, and trained 2 muscle groups per day. Then I was 14 years old, 1.69m tall and weighed 62kgs(137lbs). Since then until now, I have changed my training program from starting with a personal trainer when I first started gyming and trained Chest and Tri's (Day 1), Legs (Day 2), Back and Bi's (Day 3), Shoulders and Traps and Core (Day 4) and then resting for the next 4 days. To cut a long story short, I changed that program many times, changing muscle groups to changing exercises, to changing rep range (to bulking, to strength, to cutting etc), to going lighter to focus on and improve my form, to even trying to mix up my workout doing 3 exercises of strength and 3 of muscle fibre breakdown.
I play Rugby and am passionate about the game, and play Hooker(#2) which proves difficult sometimes with my size compared to many of my competition. Since the end of last year's season which ended in August 2010 I was 1.77m tall weighing 78kgs (172lbs) which was tiny for someone who plays my position, with a typical weight of around 95kgs (209lbs). After the season I prepared myself for this year's season, which would be my last year to play in high school and possibly for the rest of my life. I majorly increased my complex carb intake and ensured I was feeding my body every 3 hours, whilst also eating lots of protein at each meal. I bought two bags of ON Serious Mass along with another tub of whey with a good creatine based pre-workout. I hit the gym hard, and by March the this year (2011), I had gained 14kgs (31lbs) in 7 months. This was an incredible achievement for me, although I had gained quite a bit of fat on my stomach but I had been smashing legs which had bulked up a bit which could have been the reason for such a good gain in mass. However, throughout the season I literally had no time to train with early morning fitness and then explosive work/core sessions/speed training happening throughout the week straight after school up until practice which was a further 2.5 hours long. Then I had homework, and I got to a stage whereby bed time was the highlight of my day. Because of my training being totally non-evident I went from 92kg/203lbs in March (about 13% b/f) to 83kg/183lbs by the beginning of July.
My season went really well though, and I even ended up making a provincial side. However, I seemed to be letting my game down with my size which saw my competition make it further than I did, and at the beginning of this year he obviously juiced as he went from 88kg/194lbs to 105kg/231.5lbs in 3 months, being an 18 year old as well, and his legs got monstrous! And whoever knows Rugby will tell you that an 83kg/183lb Hooker is tiny especially at u18 level. Since then, muscle memory kicked in quickly and I managed to get to 87.5kg/192lb in a month as I made myself a new lean mass diet, restricting my carb intake but increasing my protein intake drastically. I still wasn't happy with my progress and decided to try Anavar as I had seen in the past that it was a mild oral steroid and decided rather to spend my money on 100x10mg tabs that an expensive supplement that would yield less results. I gained 2.5kgs/5.5lbs in 33days doing 30mg a day whilst taking one tab every 8 hours. A month later I tried an oral Turanabol(50 tabs)-Anavar(50 tabs) course taking 40mg a day for 25days and gained another 2.5kg/5.5lbs. Off both courses I got a bit vascular and slightly leaner whilst getting a harder looking build, but only slightly, andam currently sitting at about 9% b/f. To be honest, I don't regret it because I find it really hard to pick up mass no matter how much I eat for whatever period of time (I think my motabolism is pretty high). I didn't encounter any bad sides, but the weight I got to is still very far away from my goal for early next year which is to be 100kg/220lbs to a maximum lifetime weight of 105kg/231.5lbs which would be perfect for Rugby and my position.
The past 2 oral courses weren't really a way to gain mass for Rugby, but rather just for a confidence booster to get back into the swing of things. However, I'm seriously considering an injectable course for next year seeing I want to continue playing but need to pick up a lot of mass for my position. Now I realise I'm going to get a ton of hate against me because of my age as I've seen on this site and by reading other threads on other sites... But I really plead you guys who know a lot more about this stuff than I do, even though I would regard myself as relatively knowledgeable in this department purely because I literally have spent about 100 hours doing internet research of various other people's accounts and dealings with various AAS's. I'm begging you guys to be civil with your replies and to please help me before I decide to take the plunge...
I've been thinking of trying a 10 week cycle of Equipoise and Test (Enanthate, Cypionate or a "Supertest") followed by 3 weeks of Clomid starting on week 13. I will keep Arimidex on hand as an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) incase of any signs of gyno etc. I truly believe this will be a once off course that will help me as I'm not the wealthiest of guys and can't afford the best supplements, the best protein-enriched foods and/or even a personal trainer which I think some of you may suggest. I believe a once off proper course like his will seriously help me as the sad fact in today's age is that many people my age who are also trying to compete succeed in doing so with the help of steroids which makes it impossible for guys like me to get anywhere as I'm just so much smaller. Any advice, tips, concerns are all welcome and I look forward to receiving some good advice!
