Considering T-Bol Only (would be a newbie to 'roids)
Hey guys, I'm new here. I know, I look lame seeking info for an oral-only cycle on top of being brand new to this forum lol. Anyway, you guys seem understanding and helpful so I thought I'd ask a few questions.
Stats:
6'0
175-180 lbs.
18% body fat (estimate)
22 years old
Background:
Moderate level of knowledge of effective supplements/dieting
Moderate-high level of knowledge of effective weightlifting
Moderate level of knowledge with steroids (5 months of research)
Have been working out for 6 years (worked out in High School) but only consistent for past 2 years.
I have turned to this option because although I recognize the importance of compound movement exercises, massive calories and protein, I seem to have trouble making gains. I've switched up number of reps, tried static contraction, etc. to "learn my body" but it's making me feel a little hopeless.
My first questions is - Will doing 1 or 2 cycles of T-Bol prevent me from getting future gains that I otherwise could obtain by waiting until later? In other words, are you better off to wait until you've maxed out naturally? I don't want to be the next Jay Cutler, though some day I wouldn't mind being as big as someone like Mark Wahlberg. Basically, 'roids are not something I would want to keep doing over and over. After this cycle or maybe 2 cycles, I'd want to be out of it for good. I just feel like if I saw some major gains right now, it would motivate me to work harder and that I would be more confident. Right now I feel kinda hopeless after not seeing much of a difference after trying for so long and working hard.
I've seen recommended dosages starting at 40mg, but is that necessary for a first time roid user? The problem is I'm seeing bottles that are 10mg x 100 which is just short of a cycle at like 30mg. I've done a lot of research on roids in general and I know they say you will see the most gains on your first cycle so I'm just wondering what you guys would recommend for dosage for a first time user.
Since I'm in my 20s, am I more likely to recover my old test levels faster? How long after my cycle should I start PCT with T-Bol?
Btw, I'm aware of importance of liver support, blood testing, etc.
Thanks for any tips/suggestions.
