Hello & Thanks!

[The Nose]

I've been reading/learning/lurking for the past few months. This place seems to have some real good guys. For some of the younger guys you should know how lucky you are to have a resource like this.

I did my first cycle when I was 17 (way too young) and all I had was word of mouth (you wouldn't believe some of the crap people say) / Medical Books and the anabolic reference guide (do they still make that?) and that doesn't come close to compare to what you can learn from here. Post cycle therapy back then? What was that?

I've now been lifting on and off for almost 15 years. I've done about 5 cycles, all test only. First 2 were Sustanon 250 (Organon pre-load freaking harpooons), the rest were Enanthate and cyp(whichever I could get my hands on).

I was a short time roommate, workout partner and I still am a good friend of a former well known poster for almost 15 years. I will not name drop for board cred right now. I want to build my own. Then why did I say that? I don't know.

Anyways, to those who share their knowledge thanks for everything. I continue to learn a lot every day.

Sorry for the long post.

well you've already taken the plunge so maybe you have something to tell us about doing 5 all test cycles....What were your stat's before your first cycle and currently
just curious what 5 all test cycles would do to someone cause guys around here use lots of different compounds...
nice to have ya

Thanks for the interest. My history goes way back. When I was in my early teens I was awkardly skinny. I was 5'10" and about 140 pounds. I started hitting the gym my junior year of high school.

I worked out 2 solid years and knew nothing about proper nutrition or compound lifts.

Before I took my first cyle I was 160-165 pounds with very low body fat. My bench was @205, squat @250, Military @115. I did not do deadlifts or rows back then. As I stated before I started WAY too early.

By the end of my first 6 week sust cycle which looked like 250mg, 250, 500, 750, 500, 250 I had made solid gains.

I weighed 185 with only slightly higher body fat but did have water retention. My bench @275 , squat @315, Military @155.

I didn't handle the post cycle very well. I had a hard time maintaining strength and size. It was mentally tough and I had never heard of post cylce therapy. It seemed I was always chasing the same returns from my previous cycles. I'd deflate like a balloon and do more just to get back where I was and slightly higher.

I wish I could go back in time wait til I was older and do it again knowing what I know now.
