My first cycle

[Clash]

Hey guys,

So my name's Michael, living down in Australia. I've joined up here because I've never taken steroids before, and I would like some advice on my first (and possibly only) cycle.

So to get the big picture, a little backstory.

Currently, I'm almost 24 years old, male, 188cm tall and 85kgs. I have a set of body-fat scales at home (not sure if I can say the brand of them here?) that suggest I'm around 14% body fat. When I was 16 I weighed 150kgs (330lbs for those playing at home) and had lost 70kgs over a period of a few years, until around age 19-21. For the past 16 months I've been going to the gym between 4-5 days a week, for about 7 of these months I've had a personal trainer 2-3 days a week. I've seen my body improve over the time I've been doing this, but it frustrates me to no end that I cannot see the full results as I have some excess skin "space" that needs filling (hopefully with muscles than the alternative)! I've had surgical procedures to remove most of the excess skin around the abdomen, and I've also had a nipple lift, but there is still some areas that need perfecting.

Here's a current photo of me:


I eat 1 egg, 3 egg whites with a little protein powder for breakfast, and try to eat every 3 hours with a lean source of protein for the bulk of the meal (currently it's turkey breast, but will eat chicken whenever it's available). I also take 2 egg whites with some protein powder before bed. I use Casein protein with the eggs, and a different protein which is a mix of high protein and a decent amount of carbs for after my workouts. I drink an amino blend during my workouts. (I'm not sure if I can name the products here?) I rarely drink, I don't smoke, and I i've never been a fan of junk food or soft drinks. I drink about 2-3 litres of water a day.

The reason I'm seriously considering (and borderline purchasing) steroids for a cycle is that I want to see my results quicker, and just to be able to considered even "normal", for my body shape.


The cycle I'm planning on trying is the Novice Cycle I, as posted on your home website.

Over 17 Weeks:
Week 1-12 - 2 doses of 250mg of Testosterone-Enanthate
Week 1-6 - 25mg of Dianabol per day
Week 15-16 - 40mg of Nolvadex per day
Week 17 - 20mg of Nolvadex per day

For the Dianabol I'm considering Helladrol by Mr Supps
For the post-cycle recovery I'm considering Cycle Assist by Competitive Edge Labs
For the Testosterone, I'm considering 1ml/250mg amps, manufactured by Axiolabs

Please assume I'm a little naïve about the use of steroids, and have researched how to properly inject them and such. I more just want to know if I am making the right choice with the products I plan to use.

I really appreciate any feedback!

hi mate, first of all welcolme and congrats on your weight loss!! my advice is hold off on your cycle untill you get your diet dialed in, it needs to be adjusted your simply not eating enough to get the full benifits out of a cycle.not to mention a good training protocol,adequette rest and the right supps.
hit the nutrition section as the guys there can help you fine tune your diet.
i see no mention of pct,ai's or hcg so do your research on serms etc..... i just dont think your quiet ready yet mate.
i know its probly not what you want to hear but we try to give advice thats in your best intrest.....
so cut a long story short RESEARCH,RESEARCH,RESEARCH

As said above...majar props on the transformation and lifestyle change. Your cycle has some holes in it. I could patch those holes but you seem like a smart guy that would benifit from your own research. If you spend some time on this site you will be able to read threads and stickys that will guide you in creating a perfect first cycle.

I will say this...stay away from Dbol or any multi combo stack the first go so you can sniff out the cause of any side effects.

With all this being said...honestly you are not in the physical shape you should be in YET to consider a cycle. It would appear to me that your dietand gym routine may need some tweeking to help build some lean mass before considering AAS.

I said this yesterday as well. It's like building a house. Your diet is the foundation that everything builds off of, your workout is the frame works that adds structure and after all of that is in place the AAS is the roof that can cap it off. Without doing them together and in the right order...the whole structure will fall!
