All input is appreciated.

Stats:
26 | 5'-11" | 178lb
Bf%: unknown
Cycle history: Nil.
Years training: not serious, on and off since high school. Serious for the past two years. I work out 6x a week for an hour to an hour and a half. Sundays (my 6th day) i play rec soccer.

Where I'm at: Bench 90lb dumbells x 5 reps (sets of 5). Squat 275 x 5 reps (sets of 5 also). Deadlift 225.

I eat a clean diet. No carbonated beverages. Lots of green veggies, fruit, chicken, fish, rice, and steak. I've been taking protein shakes in the past. Currently, I'm take a mass gainer called "up your mass" and recently have been taking N.O. Xplode. A year and a half ago I was 155lbs.

I've been on this site a few times in the past, reading info, but held off to sign up and start posting. I feel like I'm getting closer to wanting to start a cycle (within the year) and I want to be smart about it.


Here are some pics:



I want to look get bigger, but remain cut.

In your opinion, am I at a place with my conditioning that I could do my first cycle?
Other advise?

Thanks.
