Second cycle - opinions?

[Mtmlf1234]

I did my first cycle of test prop 300mg for 12 weeks followed by a 4 week PCT of nolva and chlomid when I was 22.

That was 1.5 years a go, so my question is - do you think my body has recovered well enough for another cycle?

Things like strength, recovery time and sex drive is all absolutely fine and no problems there.

I’m well aware the ‘don’t cycle until you’re 24/25’ thought train. I’ve already done a cycle and seem to have recovered well and have had a fairly long break.

I’d be doin a bulking cycle something along the lines of 400-500mg Test E with a non oestrogenic oral thrown in (I’m prone to gyno, started getting a little burn on lad cycle but used AI to control it).

Also, stats: 5ft11, 180lbs, around 15% BF im guessing (can see abs fairly well), been weight training for around 6 years along with other sports, 4 years dedicated solely to bodybuilding. Macros are tracked daily. I train 5-7 times a week.

If I were to go ahead it won’t be in the next couple of weeks I’m more thinking in a few months time which gives me enough time to research more and maybe get a good coach to help me with everything.

Just want to know all your opinions really

Soooo.....you're 23.5 years old dude, which is a tad young for running gear.

Elaborate on this? Preferably not a sarcastic reply but a reply that will help me in my journey. Thanks in advance

theres really not much to help out . its your second cycle , pretty simple answer is just run 8-12 weeks of test, with an AI , and PCT after . thats it

That’s what I thought, but I’ve been told conflicting information (like above) as some people saying still too young?

your right on the cusp as far as age is concerned . but only you know your own body and maturity level , no one online does

You are a bit young but it's not your first cycle. That said be smart and obtain some blood work prior to your next run and establish baselines to gauge recovery in the future. Also be sure you run HCG.

Basic BW to include:

LH/FSH
CBC
CMP
E2 Sensitive
Total T
Free T
Chol panel
TSH, FT3, FT4
etc....

Usually even the younger ones do not know their body or maturity level. There have been a couple of 20 yo's that swore that their hpta had reached full maturity.

No one on here can make a decision for you. You need to make it yourself however I do feel that you need to make an educated decision. I recommend that you read the stickies of the young and steroids.
I would also like to warn you that one cycle without issues does not mean that the next one will be the same. The risk to cycle before full maturity of the HPTA is much higher.
I can respect ones decision to cycle if they make an educated decision. I did not say that I agree with it but I also do not know the priorities of the individual.
