So I just joined today, but I've been lurking for a couple of months. I've been considering taking the plunge and I'm pretty sure now that I'll be getting wet. I've probably read what seems like a hundred of those "For Newbies" post, but I want to get a bit of tailored advice. My stats:
22
5'7"
195
18%
I've been lifting steady for about 3 years. My diet is pretty good, I maintain about 2800 calories, 225+ protein, 250+ carbs, and usually about 70 fat.
This will be my first cycle, and I know a lot of the more experienced here will and have recommended a test only cycle, but I think I need a little more. My relatively high bodyfat % makes me scared of the bloat that comes with test. I've heard good results about starting the cycle with Test and Tren to combat the bloat. On the other hand, a cutting cycle comes to mind but I've read that it isn't generally recommended to start your first cycle as a cutting cycle. But I've really considered my first cycle as a cutting cycle because I feel like that will give me a better look than just bulking up. Since this is my first cycle, I don't want to go all crazy but maybe I would benefit from adding some Mast into the mix. I'll have clomid and nolvadex on hand in case the nips start getting itchy, and I'll probably use both of them for my PCT.
So, I'll leave the rest to you professionals; flames or comments are welcome (preferably comments)
