i was about 175 at 5'8" 10%bf with 320 bench and lame squat, i would say it was probably too early but i have learned a lot and take my training seriously. you have more to grow natty but when u do start please read up a lot, and ask questions

Oh I would. I would just do a straight test cycle. 10 weeks of test cyp @ 500mg. 10 weeks on, 10 weeks off.

Nothing fancy. I'm just not sure from where. But I have time.

I was about as strong you when I started lifting and I feel I jumped the gun a little bit. In some ways it was good but at times it makes me wonder a little. I would get your big lifts up by 25-50 pounds first. I might be preaching something I didn't do, but I wish I would have done it nowadays. Despite what anyone says, after dabling with juice it becomes harder to gain naturally than if you have never used juice at all. Purely anecdotal but my experience nonetheless.

agreed

I was gonna be a smart ass:

Q: "When is someone ready for their first cycle?"

A: "Tuesday"


or

A: "five minutes after I get done filtering..."


Dumb, I know. Best of luck, bud. I started somewhere around where you are at now. But, use your own best judgement. Get plenty of personal experience and be patient.

When is someone ready for their first cycle?

When the individual asking that question is able to answer it for themselves.

I'm 24, 6'1, 205lbs and 14-15%bf. My lifts go as follows

(I'm low balling to be on the safe side)

Squat 215x5
Bench 215x5
Row 170x3
Deadlifts 260x5
Military Press 105x5

My diet is in check. My BF has not changed over the last 10 pounds gained. I only gained 3%bf over the last 20 pounds gained. This took me a year though. But, that will most likely change over the next 10-20 pounds I gain. I'm in my 5th week of the Starrs 5x5 intermediate.

Overall, I just don't want to be a typical novice rushing into their first cycle. If I was to do a cycle I would of course run only test.

if you have to ask, then you're not ready
