No need for two threads on the same question. Let's stick to one please.

Cape's link is where you need to start.

I recommend reading a few threads in the nutrition section. Your steroid cycle won't matter if you aren't eating beyond your current TDEE to fuel the gains. Growth ultimately comes from how, what, and when you eat. Steroids will not compensate for poor nutrition and training so do NOT overlook their importance.

^^^Ditto to both. Learn all you can first, to make it a more rewarding experience. 15% bf (and below) is considered a decent starting bf, else you'll be much less satisfied.

Also more health risks involved in startin at a higher bf%. Gyno, Hypertension etc as that article they posted will indicate. Personally i am cutting for my first cycle right now. Few more pounds of bf to go til I'm at 15-16% and start as outlined in that there article. Getting anxious lol Read the article partner, then read it again lol...
