Hello all,
First, my apologies if this is posted elsewhere; after a couple hours of googling and searching here, I can't find anything comprehensive (and un-abbreviated)...
I'm considering using steroids for the first time as an effort to increase my lean muscle mass, and thereby change my body composition. Currently I'm 6'0", 240lbs at approximately 30% bodyfat (as I'm told by the scale in my bathroom anyway). I have a high tendancy to carry the fat in my chest, giving the appearance of "man boobs" (however I don't believe it to be gyno, just being overweight). My hypothesis is that I have this condition because my muscle mass and strength are significantly less than other men my age (I'm 22 and in college). My bench max is 150 (whereas most of my friends can go at least anywhere from 250-350). My arms are also unproportionally small (I can wrap my wrists between my index finger and thumb easily). I attribute this to not playing many sports while in junior high and high school and generally staying away from physical activity.
Recently I've been trying to train as best I can to correct this, but on Monday night I sustained a very bad shoulder sprain during a martial arts class. According to two doctors (an MD and a Chiropractor), it'll be 3 months before I can lift heavy again, and probably at least a month before I can lift again -at all-. Once I do, my proposed plan is as follows:
The idea is to lift as heavy as possible to trigger as much muscle growth as possible. What are your thoughts on this?
Now, onto "better living through chemistry": having NEVER done any drugs in my life (other than the occasional prescribed decongestant), what's the best steroid to try for a first timer like myself? I'd like to avoid injections if at all possible. I noticed something called "d-bol" on www.legalsteroids.com. First off, -is- there such thing as a legal steroid? What's required to search an individual for the presence of a steroid (either in the body or in the home)? What are the consequences if some one is caught in possession of steroids?
I also noticed this product: http://www.legalgear.com/buildMuscle/transform.htm.
So, to summarize, I guess what I need to know is this:
1. Is there such a thing as a LEGAL steroid (and one that is -very- effective?)
2. What's the best one to start off with (non-injection)?
3. Do I need to stack it with another drug to counteract increased estrogen or other hormones?
4. Is purchasing online safe? How can I tell a respectable dealer from a fraud? Can you recommend any vendors online? (I don't know anyone personally who I can 'order' through).
5. What kind of training cycle should I be on if I want to change my body composition by simultaneously adding muscle and removing fat?
6. What kind of diet should I be on to acheive the aforementioned goal?
7. I know the possible side effects of using steroids, but what are the PROBABLE side effects?
8. What is an optimum cycle (6 weeks on, 3 weeks off or something) for using steroids to minimize side effects?
Sorry for the length of this post, and thanks for any input you may have to offer!
