Fresh meat!!

[uncle french]

Hello fellow members, i have just now joined and i'm looking forward to the knowledge many here have to offer. Im 20 years old 185 pounds and 5'10 ft. I have been lifting for 5 years now and i'm contemplating starting my first cycle because i plan to compete in a bodybuilding competition for the first time! I will post 2 pictures of myself currently. I'd like any feedback and opinions on what my first cycle should consist of or even just feedback is good because im new to the world of anabolic steroids.

Welcome, you have a good start going. You will have a hard time finding guys to encourage you to the use of AAS, rather we hope you will wait until your 25 and use this forum to gain knowledge not only about AAS but also nutrition and exercise. Good luck and train hard.

Yeah I realised that on few other guys' posts. Iv'e reached somewhat of a plateau with my body and I'd like to take it to the next level. I had a freind suggest I start with a 8 week cycle of test prop injecting 1ml every other day with tbol 3 tablets a day. I wont touch anything before i do enough research but i'd like to know anyones thoughts and comments.

Welcome and lookin good man. Why AAS right now? Wait till winter and pick up your training and diet a bit. Go heavy and go hard. Eat like you're 250lbs.

The advice is to forget the cycle you have a good foundation but no way have you reached a PLATEAU at 20........patience forget the competition for now add some mass naturally roam the site for tips and advice.... But one thing you must do first is Listen its not just about what you do to your body now but in years to come experience and advice is at your finger tips only you can take or leave it !!!

I appreciate the advice man, i've decided to take it and wait. I will work hard to add as much mass as i can naturally and in the mean time study and research. I'd like to know your thoughts on creatine, some say it should be cycled other no. Iv'e been using Size on for a year or so and saw some good results.

Thanks man, yeah that is me in the pics. I've decided to wait and add as much mass as possible naturely. I was bit hard by the iron bug by 15 years old lol so i'm never big enough. I'd like to know your opinion on AAS if you dont mind.

You will be able to put on at least 40lbs of muscle over the next 5 years naturally! What could be better. Then if you decide for more great! Good luck. John

My opinion on AAS...well in a nut shell, keep in mind their are acceptions and different circumstances,,...but. Basically I believe AAS should be taken as needed, not wanted, if you need it to compete at a college lv(like for scholarship) or Pro lv(providing for family or ones self), or perhaps to help recover from surgery, or if you are older and find it harder to even finish a simple 8hr workday with out falling a sleep on the way home while driving......stuff like these.
But this is a bias point of view becuse I was a freak at a early age(very built and Very strong) naturally. They should be taken after you have reach your natural peak and can go no further, after putting in the time and effort.

yeah dude no reason to jump on a cycle yet. examine your diet. how many calories total? whats the breakdown?(protein/carbs/fat ratio) manipulating your diet can do as much or more for you as AAS. Or it may be more appropriate to say that you must first have an appropriate understanding of how your body will respond to diet and nutrition manipulation before you use steroids.

I would say with a fair amount of certainty at your age and size you are nowhere near your natural potential. If you have hit a plateau I would say the problem is most likely in your diet.
