    bf? diet? pct? HT? doesn't sound like your ready but please lets hear more. BTW your diet should be able to get you to gain some weight and put on muscle, if your not putting any on then your diet isn't in check.

    x2...you need to do more research, bud. I don't think at 175 you need to worry about being "huge" in the near future.

    sounds like you need to learn way more before taking a cycle. especially if you dont know what test is. dbol only is kinda dumb if you ask me...im a virgin though..only did once cycle...im sure you will hear more...

    First off, you need to get into a set diet that is fit for your goals. Diet is going to be a HUGE factor in what you are able to obtain. Once your diet is set, you need to stay on it for quite a while. See what your body is able to do naturally before starting any type of gear.

    You only started lifting weights about 6 weeks ago? You are still a long ways off. While there is no 'absolute' amount of time you should be lifting before you start using steroids , if you want to do it the right way, to limit sides and negative effects on your body, then you need to have a good training set going for a few years, not a few weeks.

    Start off by going to the diet section here on the site, post your stats, and your current diet (or lack there of) with all of your macros (cals. carbs. protein fat) and let some of out members tweak a diet plan that will work for you according to your goals.

    Good luck and BE CAREFUL

    agreed, i bet we can help you get up to 190-200lbs over the next couple years if you are willing to work at it(all that without using AAS)

    if you are willing we'll help you plan and learn to create diets and meals on the spot, once you get that down you'll be amazed at what you can do by just changing what you eat

    I haven't been around AAS all that much, but I'm confident in my diet plan. (uh-oh, time to tighten up the chin strap) I too leave home at 6 or earlier, and only have a 930 coffee break and noon lunch. Then off at 330. Here's my process -

    I pretty much prepare most of my weeks food on Sunday afternoon/night. I boil 2 dozen eggs, cook 5 chicken breasts, 2 lbs. of lean beef tips, and a varied amount of whole wheat pasta.

    My normal meals for a work day are as like this -

    Leave 6AM - While on way to work I eat 2 cups natty oats, a banana, and 32 oz. of skim milk

    9:30 - Fat free yogurt, 4 hard eggs (1 full, 3 whites) 4oz. walnuts and 2 cups of shredded wheat

    12:00 - Pasta w/ meat, half portion of weight gainer shake, natty PB sandwich on wheat, 32 oz skim milk

    3:30 - Protein shake + MET-RX bar


    Sorry so long. Just trying to show if you take a little time to pre-plan, you can fit everything in. I just carry a large lunch box to work. I try to mix things up day to day, and any cals/prot/carbs I miss throughout the day, I just try to play catch up in the evening with snacks/dinner if needed.

    Hope this helps.

    Edit - Oh and if you want to talk about diet, do it in the uh, do it in the diet forum! Jeez...newbs I tell ya.

    I wouldn't want to speculate on macro break downs for yourself. I'm confident with myself, for obvious reasons. Head to the diet side, one of the vets will be much better help. That being said, I'm not a HUGE fan of OTC drinks, I try to only use them if needed/jammed up, etc. The nuts have a good value in your diet. Calorie dense, protein, healthy fats. Hate all nuts? You have a few options. Shredded wheat...isn't exactly capt. crunch I know. I have a buddy who can't stand it, so he blends natty peanut butter in with his milk, then pours that over the cereal. Claims it makes it better, never tried it. There's always fruit?

    i'll be honest bro, it's probably going to take a year or two to get where you want to be if you work at it diligently

    you need to gain 15-20lbs of muscle at least(which will take a couple years at least) and cut down quite a bit, but it's easily doable and if you take 2 years to get yourself experienced in the gym and get used to how your body responds to dieting, then in a couple years you can start a cycle and really speed up your results, but it won't help until you know your body inside and out, and the only way to do that is to give it time

    Let me explain why you have no idea what you're talking about

    1) Dbol is hepatotoxic, meaning it's liver toxic, you taking any liver support or pct with that cycle?

    2) The gains you are seeing from size are due to water retention focused in the subcutaneous water layer between fat and muscle, on that same point, water retention causes high blood pressure and puts additional stress on joints, and since your lifts are increasing, you are putting even more pressure on them

    3) I touched on this earlier, but i don't hear mention of a pct, which equates to "Bye bye gains"

    4) On the subject of strength gains, those won't stay any longer than you have the dbol in your system, you may end up a bit stronger than before, but not by much

    5) Turbo already mentioned this, but it's a good point, what happens when the dbol runs out? Are you going to just get more and just keep doing dbol cycles? It's pointless

    Orals like dbol and anadrol are great additions to cycles where their specific advantages can be used(such as kicking in the same day as opposed to weeks), but they are pointless by themselves(with the exception of var/tbol cycles)

    Even if i only keep half my added strength i would be happy, the point is to get stronger so can get bigger without any help from steriods at least it gets the ball rolling. He's not looking to be a over grown brute he said he just wanted to add a few pounds it will help my diet and work ethic in gym has risen so can only help, i don't see how it wouldn't. Even if i only did some every few months would help me and is helping me!!!
