newbie in need of help

**want_to_get_ripped** · 07-31-2003, 04:32 AM

Hi as you can tell by my user name im a newbie and want to get ripped
i have been looking on the net and asking many people about the best way to get started and what to take but i have been given many different answers which has made me very confused so i thought i would ask the real people that know.

Many have told me to start taking Deca -Durabolin once a week is this correct?

my main goals is to add lean body mass (but not to much) but get much more defined

any help would be most helpful as everyone was a newbie once looking for answers

many thanks and i will look forward to any replies

How old are you? How long have you been training?
The best (only?) way to get ripped is diet and cardio.

Assuming you are old enough to be doing AS I would NOT recommend deca . Deca is a bulking drug. I think red5 said it all, diet and cardio are the best ways to get ripped. If you wanted to do AS, I would say maybe prop/eq/winny. Just my opinion, I'm not an expert.

Whats your diet like bro?
If you wanna get ripped, diet and cardio are the key.
AS will help you along but there's no replacement for a good diet & some cardio.
Deca is a mass building drug. Look into Test & Eq for some lean quality muscle gains...
Goodluck,

k thanks bro so u dont recommend using deca for building muscle mass ?

to be honest my diet has been slack since working over here i plan to sort it out when i get home in a month

You shouldnt even be thinking about as. Establish a sound program and a solid diet. And do more research.

Like several people have said, get diet and workout routine in check far in advance of starting any AS. This isn't a flame. If you start AS now, chances are you won't have very good results and you are subjecting yourself to negative side effects. The cost benefit ratio isn't anywhere near the risk. Chances are you will put on water weight and look bloated and worse than you do now...unless you get everything in check at LEAST 6 months before starting any AS. Again, not trying to flame, but this is how AS gets a bad reputation and how people hurt themselves. Start eating clean and hitting the gym and doing RESEARCH RESEARCH!! If all it took was sticking yourself with a pin a couple of times a week, everyone would be looking HUGE. There's a lot more to it than that bro. Good Luck! Again, I'm not trying to flame you here...just giving my honest opinion.

peace,
