Hi bros. Looking to start my first cycle in a few weeks or so. Started researching to make sure about what to do. Don't want to go off half cocked, although I am looking forward to the cycle.
Background. 36 years old. 5'9". 185 lbs. Have been working out hard for the past two years. In the gym 4 days per week. Have made good gains, but have definately stalled. Bodyfat is low. I have been trying to naturally bulk up this winter. Can't get above 190. Bodyfat is now at maybe 10%. Was quite a bit lower last summer at around 180.
I am looking to add muscle (gee, there is a surprise), in the 10 to 20 lb. range. Would love to ultimately be 200-210 with low BF.
Anyways, that's my story so far. I am going to hang out here and study up. When I solidify my idea of what I think I am going to do for a cycle, I will post it for critiquing. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Peace.

Yes, welcome. AR is a great place to start.
A stack that has proven itself for 20 years is test/deca /dbol . Virtually everyone will get satisfactory growth from this combination of drugs because they work in synergy and do not "compete". No steroid will cause body fat......this is exclusively a function of diet, which you control. True, some steroids like winstrol do not aromitize, and thus cause less water retention (which some confuse with fat gain), but water weight is easy to handle with arimidex or the like.
Some new users fear deca.......equipoise is a good substitute for them.
You have a mature approach to this, so I'm sure you will choose wisely in any event.
