This stuff is soooo complex

[wee_rickie]

Hiya peeps, I have been lifting weights on and off for about 10 years.. Nothing hardcore but when I have time or get into the mood for it.. I know you have to commit to it to see any special gains but like a lot of people that work out I have thought about steroids and have been doing little bits of research and talking to people that have done them before.. I finally decide to look into it myself and get a better view on the subject but it seems to me so far you need to have a degree in biology..

Call me whatever you want but I was thinking it was either a pill or needle in the morning hit the weights and in a bit of time get ripped.. every post I read is full of abreiviated letters ( AI, AAS, TPM, ABC ) yeah I kind of understand what a cycle is but I never thought about the PCT..? How crutial is it? I've never heard about it until I joined the forum.
Could someone dumb it down cut out the abreviations and explain it... is there a warm up stage before your cycle and a cool down at the end??? Is it possible to take one thing for 4-8ish weeks by itself like testosterone or d-bol?? Or do you need to take 6ish things every day and other stuff after your cycle..

Also I've read a good amount on oral only cycles and people saying they are a waste of time and you need a needle as the base of your cycle...?? Is that for everyone or just peoples personal preferance??

I know people are going to say check out newbie area and find out but the more I read the more I get confused and as I said in post title it seems too complex..

Thank you..

By the way im 28, about 170ish lbs and just looking for a little more defined muscle.. Any recomendations for an obvious newbie looking to dip his toe?

There is a sticky, at the very top of this section, called "My First Cycle" written by Austinite. He breaks down every thing you need to know about first cycle prep and execution. As far as oral only cycles, that topics been beaten to death here and on every other forum I've seen bro and the general consensus is Test base on all AAS cycle. Best of luck to you.

Exactly what Alpha said. It's going to take you many many days even weeks of reading for hours to be really informed about the subject. It is very dangerous if you don't take right precautions, so take the time to read the stickys and every link on there. It will cover 90% of your questions there and use the search bar also. Then any specific question you're having trouble with just post the question here and well-informed members will help you out.

This IS science. Like it or not youre going to have to learn what these acronyms mean... not just what the letters represent - the true meaning. once you understand what these very powerful hormones and other ancillaries are doing in your body it won't be confusing anymore.

Do you wonder what happens when you.eat a ham sandwich? Of course not. So its not confusing. Same idea. Sorry, fell asleep at the end there lol. Post gym narcolepsy

Yup its more than just sticking a needle in your ass. That law about every action having a equal or greater reaction comes to mind.

Dumb it down?? Impossible...makes you wonder why people think meat heads are bone heads. If your confused after reading ALL the sticky's...read them again...

The bone heads are the guys walking around with no libido and full of acne... They didn't read the stickies.
