Hey guys,
I am a new member, been reading on this site and several others for a year and a half now but just now joined. I am 5'11, 235lbs at 12-13% BF. I have been bodybuilding for two and a half years now and have been using gear on and off for about 20 months. I started bodybuilding at 135lbs (18 years old), so I think it is probably safe to say I am past my genetic limit. I've been on my current cycle for about 11 weeks now. I was on test e (900mg/wk) and deca (600mg/wk) but was not seeing much gains so I switched to test prop (1,050mg/wk) and tren (700mg/wk).
Here's the problem...though I am seeing gains (considerably in strength, and decent in size), I'm just not responding as well as I thought I would. I am taking in 6,000cals, 500grams of protein, and 600grams of carbs a day. I guess I am asking if I need to up my doses? I would like to change out my tren with NPP (i have never run NPP before) and keep the gains coming strong.
Let me clarify that I am 20 years old right now, and understand that I shouldn't be using gear right now but I see a doctor and an endocrine specialist regularly and have bloodwork done regularly too. Bodybuilding is my satisfaction and is my pride. I want to be an IFBB pro and compete on a big level within the next 5-7 years. I need some help and advice on how to keep the gains coming. I have attached a picture in case anyone wants to see.![]()
