my sentiments exactly..that would scare me..perhaps try to find a doctor (preferably a cardiologist) that would be willing to answer these questions and make recommendations

wait a few more years, even without having had heart surgery you're too young. don't take this the wrong way but you've been training for 6 years and you're still 180lbs.. bro, both your diet and training are off. even a modest natural gain of say 5lbs a year would be 30lbs of lean meat. you should look huge at 5'8 and 10%

What was the purpose of the surgery?
And what do you mean by 100% cleared?

i kinda disagree. lots of people make it seem so easy to gain 5lbs of lean muscle in a year, every year. im not saying hes ready, but i dont think one can determine that he is definitely not just by looking at his stats. sorry i dunno about the heart thing tho, im no doctor.

when I said 100% i was trying to say my heart is in noway or shap defferent then yours saying your heart is ok!!!HAHA but yea this is the only thing holding me back its a big set back though

you're right.. and i can see your point.. but i also think that he's young enough with enough natural t floating around that if he got his diet and training spot on he could make some good gains. I'm 5'9 and i hit 250 before i started the sauce.. granted i was 20% BF but i built some good muscle once i got my training on.

an also yea I should be alot bigger given the time i have put in but i have been surfing an doing a huge amount of cardio which was done to stay in good shape for surfing for around the same time i have been training for but i am putting training 1st now

**tonytone** · 07-24-2006, 08:14 PM

what was the surgery for? at two yrs old? a ventricular septal defect?

heart defects like this, when fixed surgically, usually are completely healed and wont cause problems again..so that's a good thing

**bryan85** · 07-24-2006, 08:19 PM

yea that is what it was an im not being a smart ass thats y they said i am no defferent then anyone else thanks alot for the help this is a great site

I think 21 is reasonable for someone with a formidable lifting history, whose been patiently waiting the last few years to begin. It's actually commendable.

If your heart and other major organs are fine (and I'd suggest a check-up and blood work prior to commencing) the standard novice cycle is 12wks of Test E at 500mgs a week. This is often recommended for the following basic reasons: it allows you to see how your body reacts to Test (the base in all aas cocktails); it minimizes confounding variables by using only one compound so you can effectively gauge side effects both now and for posterity (preferable adding only one per cycle); it's enough to make significant gains that would be considered respectable by anyone; and it slowly acclimates one to injections as it only requires bi-weekly shots of 250mgs every 3.5 days.
