how long did you research before your first cycle

[MeatheadJD]

I have been looking at the info on the web and from asking peopel and reading for about 3 months now. Obviously I can learn more but do you guys think that is long enough to research before choosing a cycle?

Bro,how old are you?? Also,it is necessary to work at least 1 year in the gym before the first cycle.

I spent a year researching before doing my first cycle, with the gear sitting in my safe the whole time. My target was to hit certain strength and BF% goals naturally, and then I would reward myself with a cycle.

I researched about same as you. 3 months before jumpin on the wagon.

 

[wayneboard1]

I researched for about 6 months, the last 4 on elite.

 

[theoak01]

I was around these boards for a year researching before I used

i researched for 5 years while working out natty using no2 and creatine. i am a hard gainer always thought about deca. then my boy started using winny and went from 170 to 205 5% bf, he is also a genetic freak and ran it for 2 years being the stubborn guy he is. i hopped on that train which did nothing for me, then i cam here and really learned how to set up a deca wintsrol cycle that kicked ass. research is great but the problem is a lot of people will tell you to run deca for 8 even 5 weeks. i think you need to be able to know what every aas is, what it does, what other things are required to run this aas. oh yeah and knowing how to eat is the most important thing, so research that. then i say your ready

research until you have all your questions answered.

i researched when i got on here in 2003 (nov) and i started my first cycle this past march... so almost a year and a half... got my 2nd cycle this fall and the next on the following spring.. all planed out already

 

[bigtravis]

didn't research at first. i went to work for one of the old pros in redondo bch, cal. 16 yrs ago. there i first experienced bol and var. just learned alot through the years. the rest is history.

^ I second that.

Once you've started your cycle, you shouldn't have to come on these boards asking what dose of D-Bol to take, or what to use for PCT.

If you've researched enough, you should already have a pretty good idea of what to expect on your cycle.

Personally, I spent 5 years training, and 6 months researching AAS before my first cycle. My only regret was that I experienced some hair loss, but I guess you never know whether you're genetically prone to MPB.
