Deca

**GymRat88** · 09-15-2008, 10:52 AM

Looking to start my very first cycle. I'm 5'9" 185lbs 12.2%BF looking to shoot up to 200lbs and drop BF by 3-4%. My buddy uses Deca but the gains look kinda wet but other than results look good, any advice????

Welcome to AR bro!

What's your age and how's your diet/workout routine?

For first ever cycle, I would stay away from deca and just do a Test based only for 12 weeks.

Please, provide the stats above!

Thx

I'm 20 Workout 5 days a week cardio 3 heavy sets 5x5. Eat 3 real meals a day and the other 3 are shakes (fruit, yogurt,2 scoops of powder)

Shakes have their place in a diet but its not solid food bro...FOOD is what will put the good muscle on you...Before you start anything in form of a cycle you may want to restructure your nutrition intake aswell as your Training regimen.....once thats all in check then you can put together your next move.

Thanx, what would you substitute instead of a shake as far as food

**Bigmax** · 09-15-2008, 11:20 AM

Once your diet is in check as everything else such as your workout routine, stats and dedication seems in check.

From viewing your age, and taking BIGMAX's advise with getting a good diet, you could nearly reach you goal naturally. Try fixing your diet, eat like a wild banshee, keep a great workout regiment for 3-4 months and then look at hitting a cycle if you aren't seeing gains. But I think you will be pleased.
