To lose some body fat, i need to put on some muscle first, you undestand that right?
fat and muscle are 2 separate things. you aren't turning fat into muscle or vice versa. dunno who came up with that theory but obviously they weren't bodybuilders.
you need to lose body fat first, then worry about putting on muscle. it is very difficult to put on muscle while burning fat.
you say your friend did it and it worked for him. you are the 2nd guy to come on here and say something like that in as many days. just because it worked for him doesn't mean it will work for you too.
the reality is you want to be told to stay on your cycle and you will start seeing gains and losing fat and turn into a chiseled beast. you do not want to hear the reality that if you weren't able to lose fat and gain muscle WITHOUT steroids, you damn well wont be able to WITH steroids.
I am telling you that until you build a base first you will fall well short of your goals. you should of gained those 6 pounds you are happy about WITHOUT steroids and taught yourself how to eat and workout.. the ABC's of bodybuilding, build a base.. then once you reach a plateau get on a cycle. that is the correct way to do it to avoid dissapointment and turn into yet another statistic of someone who tried steroids and got nowhere.
if you really really dedicate yourself to learning the ABC's of eating good, working out, and steroids you will look back in a year from now at this thread and say "jeez i know soooooooo much more now, cant believe how much knowledge i have and how my friends were wrong about steroids" and you will easily gain 15 pounds of muscle naturally, that isn't water weight and that will give you a strong base. and i promise you wont be making threads saying how you aren't getting anywhere on a cycle
trust me because a year ago i thought I knew about steroids, this site has taught me so much since then, now i can name them all and have a great idea of dosages, length of cycles, PCT, etc.. i had a good idea of how to eat, and i had a decent idea how to workout. since then I have perfected my diet to a tee, and my workouts are 70 minutes of intense work and i found a great way to workout efficiently that works for ME and that might not work for others. only way you can improve is through experience.
