Reality check of a first cycle

[2009camaro]

I am a new member, but I have been reading up on these forums for a few years now. I am now considering beginning my first cycle.

I am 23 years old and have been training seriously for about 4 years. I am 6' 3" 215 pounds about 9% body fat. I have enjoyed maintaining an uncompromised workout schedule and dedication to diet and supplements. I feel comfortable saying I have pretty much reached my maximum physique/ plateau. I have gotten to where I am through a bit of a yo-yo effect, putting on soft muscle and cutting it down to a lean base afterwards.

I am going to do a cycle, but am not looking for a magic pill and overnight results. I just want to get back to that feeling where you look in the mirror and see progress and are stoked for the rest of the day.

I want to be a SOLID 235 eventually. Please give me any suggestions/ criticism for a cycle. I want to be able to pack on lean muscle and stay ripped. I already bust my ass to stay in shape, so I'm not looking for some easy fix. Just want to start seeing progress again.

I will stop dragging this one out. Please throw whatever you got at me, and I apologize for being another newbie post.

Seems like your ready for the typical first cycle of a long ester like test e or c for 10-12 weeks at 400-500mgs a week shot twice weekly. you should get great results with that especially at those stats

Yea...and about 6000 Cals/day if you want to hit 235, stick with the long estered Test either Enanthate or Cypionate . Possibly jumpstart it with some Dbol for 4 weeks...do it right and you'll gain BIG

you could do those cycles or u could do a longer lasting easter such as equipoise .... that could be ran as long as 20 weeks but dont run it no less than 12 , it will give you a good definition look and i would say a good 15-20 lbs of muscle if u did a 16-20 week cycle working hard and eating right,

Equipoise is arguably one of the weakest steroids out there, and running it without any test will shut you down bigtime. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Thanks for the input. The first real problem I will be facing is availability. I live in southern California, so I'm not saying there isn't gear available- I just don't know how to find it. I don't lift at a gym, I lift at home, so I'm not around many people that can help me out. Plus, I wouldn't even know where to begin with the internet. I also don't want to be approaching some ripped up dudes and be disrespectful, or put them at risk by trying to get their help. So how am I supposed to do this?

if u up the doses per week on equipoise it will be fine.. and yes it is one of the weakest steroids .. the long esters arent the only reason why to cycle for long periods of time... its also because it builds quality muscle more slowly than say test or deca
