Greetings from the UK

Hello everyone, my name is John, I am 22 years old and I have been training at the gym since i was 17, I'll try to be as blunt as possible. I have gotten to a point down the line where Steroids seem to be constantly on my mind in terms of pushing myself to the next level. I have thought about taking steroids at several points since i started training, and each time told myself to do it all naturally, because i will get all the more satisfaction for it. However i recently came across and internet "phenomenon" ( i guess you could call it) named Zyzz. I had no idea who this guy was until he appeared on my tumblr, and when i did my research began to hate how he achieved the body i had been relentlessly fighting for all this time, and it was mostly thanks to his anabolic steroid use . It angered me to a point where it seems my small steady gains are wasted years.

When i first started at the gym i weighed in at 9st l10lbs and could bench press 15kg? roughly, today i am 11st 12lbs and can bench press 55kg, this is nothing amazing over a 5 year period and i don't claim to be a big guy, i struggle to keep weight on, and i am still very unhappy with the way my body looks, so I have done some research in to steroid use, But i am unsure as to whether it is enough. Here is what i have learned so far:

As a beginner i should consider testosterone cypionate on 250mg a week for 8 weeks, between weeks 6-8 i should introduce HCG ? then when finishing a cycle during week 8 begin taking Nolvadex ? for 4 weeks?

This is obviously very limited knowledge, and i would appreciate any thoughts and advice/experience. I have had a small rummage through the educational section, and also read the rules of the forum.

I hope to learn a lot on this site, because i really want to cover ALL possible angles before deciding to take steroids.

sincerely, John

Wait a couple of years my friend patience is a virtue going over to the dark side should not be rushed!!

Welcome... Everyone is different but the common advice is to wait until age 25 to cycle. Prior to that your endocrine system could still be developing and the introduction of exogenous hormones could possibly cause a lifetime of issues including low testosterone and erectile dysfunction. Spend your time for now in the training and nutrition forums. With a good routine and diet you should improve quite well.

Welcome..Still a bit young. You should check out our Nutrition and Workout Sections as there's a ton of great info over there. You don't want to take any chances of damaging yourself as brazey pointed out.
