What do you guys think?

[clarkey02]

I'm 36, do you think I've got a decent enough base to try AAS?

[marcus300]

What are your stats

[clarkey02]

What are your stats

I'm 36, 6 ft. 220 lbs. 13% bf
Been training seriously for about 9 years, diet has been on point for about 4.

[aussie made]

Solid base. How did you come up with 13% bf? Bod pod?

Thanks bro.....

One of the trainers at my gym did it with a calliper.....

[aussie made]

Them callipers arnt really accurate. I would say your more 15 and up. If your diet is in check and you got your cycle planned out correctly I don't see why not

I think we need to get DSM and Shol'va to evaluate this post.

Who are these bros you speak of?

They are our site specialist in regards to true honest evaluations. They critique Marcus300 all the time.

I see. Well I have followed these boards for several months educating myself on things, and in my limited experience here I find the input of MuscleInk to be the most reputable and intelligent myself.

I dont disagree with that statement, he is VERY knowledgeable although I think DSM and Shoval are better judges of male physique. Ill bet MuscleInk will agree with me on this.

[aussie made]

Not going against anything the above has said. But your base is fine. Your done your research. Your got a good foundation. I don't think you need others to decide if your body right or not. Only thing. And I don't no if it even bothers you is your bf. I don't think it 13. More around 16-18. Not best picture tho. Other then that, of you want to cycle. Do it. Just make sure your pct is correct and you run hcg and a a.i.

I like the trimmed chest but hate the fact you didn't make the bed behind you before you took the picture.

^^^Way to drag me out of bed guys!!! Lol. I kid, I'm sitting at the airport.

I spend more time looking at women.

Clarkey, with the limited picture, I'd say between 15-20%. Below 15% the Adonis belt (V shape below lower abs) starts to emerge. You certainly don't look above 20% unless you are carrying more weight in your back and/or legs but most men don't retain much fat in legs or back unless they are obese.

Based on your training Hx, I would have no problem with you planning a single ester cycle in the near future. Have you thought about specific goals on the first run? Cut? Add LBM?

Remember to post a nutrition plan to drive that success!

Looking good and you're off to a great start.

Or the unmade bed. Had Clarkey been a hot Asian chick I would have paid attention to EVERY detail!

Hahahaha!! Too funny!! No fat in the back, thanks for the input, it is much appreciated and put to use......

[Shol'va]

I agree the unmade bed is tacky but hey the pic is about his form. nice shoulder tats though. But when posting a pose pic make sure you have your shorts lower than those on you now. check out the bodybuilder pics here and elsewhere. check this pic out for instance...

[clarkey02]

Thank you for the valuable input guys. It is all much appreciated.

[Cuz]

Can't stand that Seid fvcker but anyway lol...

I think you are 15% or more I can't tell on the lighting. You have a good base tho. What are your goals. You may not need aas. Your pretty big naturally judging by your stats

[clarkey02]

Goals are mainly focused on strength, and mass at this point. I'd like to spend this year bulking up, then next spring cut down to 10-12% bf. looking for gradual, lasting gains rather than just blowing up.

Did u mention how long u been training

[clarkey02]

Yes...... 9 years seriously. Sporadic for 5 or 6 before that....

[Cuz]

Well I'd say go for it

[xjay1234]

I think so - but have you tried losing weight a bit before you being AAS? Not saying you are FAT!!! Cos you have good base but just to be trimmed up a bit more before starting.

Hey hey he, ease up on Seid, my daughter knows him and did a photo shoot with him. lol

[clarkey02]

Thanks a lot. So appreciative to have a place to get input from so many knowledgeable and experienced minds. Looking forward to sharing my results with you guys.

None taken. It's all in good fun. It's funny when you google his name a lot of links bring you back here to the pictures I posted.

[vito93x]

nope u must have at least 20yrs serious training before even considering the realm of AAS, I have counted every micro/macro carb fat and protein for the past several years and haven't missed a workout in 8 years and I am 27yrs old and 6ft tall 320lbs at 5% bf and I am nowhere near my genetic potential.
