Who has been here the longest?

**Breggin** · 05-22-2009, 04:09 AM

Okay, well here goes my first thread so I hope it drums up some interest:
Of the veterans on this site that have been here since like 2006 and beyond, What are some of the MOST important lessons that you have learned with regards to the use of anabolic compounds over the years. Also, what types of changes in trends or beliefs have you noticed during your experiences?

You should have all your i's dotted and t's crossed, ie... When you plan and execute a cycle make sure you have everything you might need before hand. The last thing you want to be doing is scrambling around last minute looking for and AI when you should of had it from the beginning.

Thanks for answering my question Otto. You are right, that is so important. There are still alot of people out there that think they are ready to start when they have all the anabolics in hand but not the other components. I am not a veteran, just an old guy who has done his fair share of cycles. The most important thing that I have learned since joining this site is "what" and "how important" Post Cycle Therapy is. Like 10 or 12 years ago I did a "cycle" that ended up including like 5 compounds for an extended period of time. No PCT and a decade of pure hell later, you can just call me Mr. HRT from now on. If I only knew then. Sorry you other guys think this should be in the lounge, by the way...

System Admin...

Experiment, change things and dont use studies as complete fact. There are, 9 times out of 10, contradicting ones.

**Hoggage_54** · 05-23-2009, 03:13 PM

Been around a while, although I've contributed maybe 3 good posts. The rest is lounge fluff.

**J431S** · 05-23-2009, 03:41 PM

since may 2003, that's definite long enough? my hat's off!!

**J-Dogg** · 05-23-2009, 05:29 PM

I've been here awhile, just not very active, I read more than I post.

**gixxerboy1** · 05-23-2009, 08:47 PM

been her a little. I noticed pct has gotten so complex and most take more compounds for pct then to cycle. I remember when it was just clomid and it always worked well for me

**firmechicano831** · 05-23-2009, 09:36 PM

gixxerboy is on the lead now

**wanna_c_gains** · 05-24-2009, 07:13 AM

I've been here off and on for a couple of days..... I've learned that you can never learn enough.

I recall back in 2001-ish.

Tren did not armonitize into estrogen, so you did not have to run any PCT at all with it.

**Bojangles69** · 05-24-2009, 04:35 PM

Hmm well the only thing I noticed is it *seems (not saying it is) that mods are a lot more leniant now then back in the day.
I use to get suspended left and right and I remember A LOT of other people getting suspended on almost a weekly basis.

Now it seems they actually look into things more rather then just getting rid of people.

**IronReload04** · 05-24-2009, 05:44 PM

Been here since 03 actually

THe most valuable lesson I have learned is that you should already be jacked with lowbodyfat before even contemplating usage. I am natural, and I plan on staying that way for about another decade when I will be 30ish.

My goal is to be 200 pounds at 5-10 percent bodyfat (5'8) before starting. That way, I should easily be able to get up to 220-250.

**JiGGaMaN** · 05-24-2009, 05:59 PM

hmmm, when i first started reading here in 04 and joined in 05. things were much different then: labs etc could be mentioned openly if i recall correctly, then operation raw deal killed off brovel, ttokyo, QV and fort dodge as well as 99% of the raw powder dealers.

ive learned since:
(1)loose lips sink ships.
(2)dont cycle if you are higher bodyfat
(3)Test is not the best, it should be used as a base. but that doesnt mean automatically 500mg/wk is where you should start. I dont think i will go over 350mg/wk of test until i absolutely have to. There are many compounds with less sides than test, so to me it makes no sense to start with a test only cycle. Tbol, in my opinion, is the ideal first cycle.
(4)Make sure you know everything about what you are getting into. talk to people, get advice. youd be surprised how eager some people are to help out new-comers.
