n00b

**light** · 05-04-2008, 07:12 PM

Alright, so I'm a n00b and am looking to start up. I have recently been looking into Deca -Durabolin , but one of the concerns I have with it is the complete depletion of HPTA, I believe. I was wondering if there is a way to counteract that without putting test into the cycle. Another concern I have is I do not wish to get too big, as of right now I am about 5'9, 180 and I was hoping to gain about 15-20 lbs. heavier but also I was wondering if it would be difficult to maintain my speed and, if not, if it could help me actually become faster?

Also, another concern I have is if I had decided to stop cycling after about three months, about how much of the strength and size I obtained be lost? I don't expect to keep nearly all of it, but if my bench max is currently at 270 and I reach 335 and then stop, about how much of my bench is lost after I stop cycling?

Thanks for your time, and I will most likely have more questions later, but I just want to touch base on what I may be getting myself into. Again, thank you.

The only problem is that as I am right now I can't seem to surpass my current weights. My bench has been at a plateau for quite a while, as have my other lifts, such as my cleans, squats...etc. I've been wanting to become bigger and more cut, but no matter how I lift nothing seems to change. I've been lifting for a good four years now, and no matter what I do I can't seem to manipulate my body into the way I quite want. I understand that it just won't be magic, but it is a catalyst. As for stats I am:

Age: 20
Height: 5'9
Weight: 180
Body fat%: 15
