    Newbie here thinking of trying a cycle

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum and wanted to say hi. I'm a 33 year old male and in good shape. I've never done a cycle but have been doing a ton of research and truly thinking about it. I would only be able to do oral steroids as I wouldn't be able to inject them. I know this isn't optimal but I'm just being up front about it. I'm currently 5'8" and 172lbs. with a low body fat %. I'm fairly cut and have pretty decent ab definition. I'm looking to gain another 15-20 lbs. of muscle without getting bloated or losing my cuts. Just curious what experienced people would recommend for me. I train a minimum of 4 days a week and work my ass off when at the gym. I eat healthy and drink a ton of water.

    What other info do you need?

    Thanks in advance,
    Pistol....

    Welcome to AR

    If you truly did a TON of research, then you will know that Orals cycle are NO GOOD and shut down your natural testosterone, The male body tends to really really like testosterone flowing through it, so shutting it down without replacing it is NOT a good idea at all

    I just don't know if I would be able to inject myself. However, I have heard that oral steroids are not truly effective. How hard is it to do an injection the first few times? I have no fear of needles just don't know if I could do it to myself and my wife would NEVER do it for me.

    Thanks,
    Pete

    welcome mate. do some research about the types of orals out there and their properties. then pick the ones that u reckon u wanna go for, and read up more about it. imo, tbol and var might be where u wanna lean towards.

    Good luck bro. Everyone I talked to said the same thing. I didnt think I could do it at first. But once they got past the first one or two it was a breeze. They all said it wasnt the pain it was the injecting and making sure its done correctly. Just continue to research and decide if thats really the way you want to go. Orals can be tough on the insides bro. Lastly if you really want some help post stats and goals, diets help too. Then go from that point. Read Read Read......
    Anyhow, Welcome. If you are looking for answers they are here. Some of them just buried a little deep others right on top. Check out the stickies. There is a great one on everything from poke points, how to sterilize and even what kind of equipment suggested for optimal pokes.


    Good luck and hope you find what your looking for.

    Thanks for all the pointers this is truly helpful. I'm obviously in the "RESEARCH" stage right now and when I make a decision it will be after I'm 100% confident in what will be best for me.

    When doing a cycle is it needed to do multiple steroids or is there a cycle that will work with just 1 steroid? I want to do what is best for my body long term and be able to maximize my results.

    My stats:

    I'm 33 years old
    173lbs. 5'8" tall
    train 4 days a week 1 1/2 - 2 hours each session.
    Training schedule:

    day 1: Chest and shoulders
    day 2: Bis and tris
    day 3: Legs
    day 4: back

    Typically train Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri.

    I eat mostly healthy about 3000 calories a day. Take BCAA's, Whey, Creatine, multi vitamin, and Pre workout NO product. Drink at least a gallon of water a day, 5 eggs for breakfast, whole wheat bread, LOTS of chicken, etc.

    Thinking about the injection thing as mentioned here and what I've found is that its a safer way for my body to receive the product so I'm sure I can get over that. Esp. since I can inject into my thigh.

    What other info do you need and what type of suggestions do you recommend?

    I'm looking to gain another 15-20lbs. but retain a cut physique. Any help is truly appreciated. I've been currently training about 6 months but have lifted for several years prior but took some time off so I've "bounced back" very quickly.

    Thanks,
    Pete

    Most of us here first injection was terrifying, But after the first there is really nothing to it. IMO.
