Newbie to "gear"

[Hybridtheory2o]

Hey guys I just wanted to introduce myself. I am 21 years old i have been training pretty consistantly since I was 16. Just recently re-ignited the spark to hit the iron hard and with great intensity a few months ago. Not sure but lost my drive a while back after I recovered from the flu..just lost the drive but i guess that happens.

I have been doing some reading/research on gear and the different types. I do not feel I am ready yet but I am interested in learning about real people and their personal experiences with "gear". This will make my research easier because when I read huge articles on other various sites written by doctors or pros I sometimes get lost in the huge words all over the place.

Ill give you guys some stats on me until I can get some pictures up.

5'9"
Waist-31
Arms-16 3/8"-cold
Chest-43"
Width(shoulder to shoulder) 48"( will re-measure but i think thats the number not sure just got bored and wanted to measure how wide I was at the shoulders, always been told I'm wide as hell haha)
Neck-17"
Weight-182lbs

I didnt measure my legs because they really arent that developed yet because I never used to really do legs but they are pretty big naturally I guess. Dont have chicken legs really but I feel dumb for slacking on the leg work outs until a few weeks ago.

Ive been taking whey protien for awhile now and the only real test booster I took was animalMstak and I stacked it with animalpak and animal nitro G.

I went from 160lbs to current bodyweight of 182lbs and started smashing some real heavy weights that I never could move before. I consider myself decently informed and becoming more informed as the days pass as I stated before I re-ignited my drive and have become obsessed once again. I am interested in gear because I want to further enhance my physique and be able to train with very high intensity and be able to recover a lot quicker.

I probably wont start my first cycle for a little while as I dont feel knowledgeable enough yet but hopefully you guys can help me out and I can do some reading to help myself out. Sorry about the book I wrote but just wanted to introduce myself.

Welcome, good to see that you are doing your "homework" and learning before taking that leap into AAS, you have much natural resources to work with at your age.

Good luck in meeting your goals

Yeah sounds like you have your head on right as far as starting gear goes. But what exactly do you want to know? What kind of info are you looking for? Give us a little more info to be able to help you better.

 

[immortalis]

Im with these guys. I applaud you for taking a level-headed approach to it unlike a lot of "newbies" who jump on here asking for info.

Most people are going to recommend a Test-Only cycle for your first time whenever you do get to where you are "ready". Thats because its a substance your body is already familiar with, and you will want to see how your body reacts.

Anyway, welcome to the boards. I'm sure you will find a lot of usefull information here.

Who wants to bet $$$ this guy went to private school??? Most American 21 yr olds don't have this guy's maturity or the ability to express himself in writing so eloquently.

With this being said, I still demand that you post up nude pics of your girlfriend for instant k.

 

[Hybridtheory2o]

Haha no I didn't go to private school or anything like that. I just see a lot of morons that post on various sites pertaining to different interests and hobbies and I see how they get flamed and what not. Personally I laugh at them and I am not going to be one of them haha.

I just started doing some major reading when I saw something on youtube it was about steroid use and about healthy adult males that were using them respectfully and not abusing them and about how they have little to no problems with their health.

So after that I decided that I would like to read more about AAS and get serious and become a user. Now as far as what I want to know is this. I keep seeing people taking 500MG doses of Test-E for 10 weeks during their first cycle. I thought I saw somewhere that the E stood for like ethaniol or something like that just wondering what the full word is. Also I would like to know what the best PCT is that money can buy. Ive seen a few but not sure which is the best but I think its something like Arimidex or something.

Another thing is do I want to take something during my cycle as well as after to prevent "bitch tits" and to prevent a high estrogen build up? I dont plan on using any gear until I have all my gear in hand and all my PCT lined up in case my body responds in a bad way and starts producing crazy estrogen then I know I can quickly treat that.

Ill be ready to start using once I get a beginners cycle written up. I think I would like to use the Test-E with the 500MG doses on Mon and Thurs. Not too sure about PCT hopefully some of you guys can clear that up and help me get rollin.

-Peace

well done bro! good job researching and keep going at it ef wil help you..best site!

Test E is testosterone Enanthate. Enanthate is the ester that the steroid is transported in. There are other esters such as Cypionate, Undecyclate, Proprionate, etc. The different esters have different half-lives, or how long they stay active in the body.

Arimadex is not PCT it is an Aromatase Inhibitor. It is what you use during cycle to keep bloat off from excessive testosterone to estrogen conversion. Also helps to keep from getting gynecomastia, the beloved "bitch tits".

PCT is Post Cycle Therapy. It is what you use AFTER your cycle to bring back your natural testosterone production.

Read the stickies in this section of the forums. The one labeled NEWBIES READ.

I only took the time to write all this crap out because you seem like you have your head on straight.

Oh and do not do 500mg test e twice a week that is 1 gram of test per week which is a lot. Do 250mg on monday and 250mg on thursday bro. That will get you solid gains if you eat right and train hard.

 

[DiamondCutCows]

I nominate you for Newbie of The Week! One small concern, probably nothing. You say you want to take 500mg Mon and Thurs. Make sure you're taking 250 per shot so it's 500mg/week.

Goodluck and keep reading.

 

[Hybridtheory2o]

Oh yeh the 500mg was not meant as 500mg on mon and 500mg on thurs I was meaning 250 and 250 but I kinda assumed everyone would know that for some reason haha. Forgot there were people that dont read at all and would try doing that.

Yeh thanks for clearing up the Arimadex thing. PCT yeh I know what that meant and what that is all about. Suprisingly ive learned quite a bit from reading but sometimes I forget something here and there.

So as of now 500mg Test E 250 mon 250 thurs and eat clean. Arimadex best aromatase inhibitor, accutane to heal acne ive read works good. Ok now I shall start reading a little more about PCT and what not thanks.
