getting ready for my first cycles

[Chris Hollye]

Hi guys I'm 28 years old looking to get big, I would like to know what's the proper time of lifting and dieting to build a base prior too cycling for first time, I started lifting two months ago I consider myself in good shape but I'm not looking to start my cycle of test any time soon, maybe in about 10 months, what would be the ideal time of preparation to build a solid base to run AAS, thank you

i lifted 13 years before using steroids

i would say 5 years is about what i would recommend. gives you a chance to learn about your body and make gains without steroids

Age wise ok but yeah - five more years training and dieting due to the very limited time you've trained thus far

It is hard to set an exact number because everyone is different but I would say a minimum of 2 years. If you are still progressing nicely naturally though there is no reason to start gear. Just go as long as you are still making gains.

Here is a good article for you to read that talks about knowing whether or not you are ready for steroids: http://www.evolutionary.org/are-you-ready-for-steroids/


The longer you wait to do your first cycle - the more you will get out of it. Steroids are a tool. They are kind of your 'ace in the hole'. You want to make as much progress naturally before using steroids. That way the steroids will get you through the sticking point you reach when you are close to your natural potential.


Look at the best bodybuilders of all time - Kai Greene, Ronnie Coleman etc. They all built a base naturally. They learnt how to diet and train. Then when they added in the steroids, they absolutely exploded.

I personally would do a couple cycles of SARMS before even touching steroids -> https://www.evolutionary.org/steroids/SARMS
