Pharmguy, by saying this, I mean that you will save your body from using gear that may not be needed. Sure it is a lot slower this way, but you will be really working for your muscle. I too think I could have put on more weight naturaly but hit the pins before getting there (so do as I say, not as I do, hahaha). The purpose of a first time user "should" be to break a plateau that cannot be broken easily naturaly. Hell even before my cycle that I am on now, I was slowly gaining every week naturally. I really should have held off, but I didnt, and somewhat regret it, but I wanted to squeeze this cycle in before I leave the country for a few months ( i know hypocritical). Still when I was younger and many of my friends were on the juice bandwagon, I held off from doing it, and relatively kept up with them being natural. I am glad that I waited until I was a little older.
Justy if/when you decide to cycle and are looking for a quality cycle, I would try something like this.
wk 1-10
Sust or Enanthate: 250/wk
(pharmguy, sust does not have to be injected EOD, once a week is fine).
EQ: 400/wk (frontload the first week)
Wk 5-10
Anavar: 35mgs/day
Enanthate: 250/wk
EQ: 400/wk
You could always swap the Anavar for winny at 50mgs/day, but I would keep the var is you can get it and afford it.
