Darren, new to the site hoping to get some questions answered

Hey, get right to the meat of it
Im 23 6,4 right now around 240 and work shiftwork soo It makes going to the gym difficult i do 5 days 5 night 5 off i try to work out my 5 days and 5 off leaving the nights for rest, my workouts are loosely based on Dorian Yates "blood and Guts". I'm a bigger boned guy and i can gain and lose weight pretty quickly though i find i retain water and bloat quite easily. I'm taking protein and creatine/glutamine as a post workout and have been cycling off and on for quite a longtime unfortunately those and hard work and time at the gym never really give me the results I'm looking for so often i lose confidence in my cycle or attaining my goals, i was looking at trying maybe a low dose of deca to see if that will help give me that extra boost to reach my goals(any other suggestions i would love to hear aswell. ive done a fair amount of research on the web and word of mouth unfortunately there's alot of contradiction out there so i would appreciate any and all opinions on it. right now my goals are to lean out a bit and gain some size on my arms chest and shoulders, I admit up until now my diet hasn't been as strict as it should be but thats changed im ready to start seeing some better results.

any opinions and advice will be appreciated and i must apologize for my grammar and spelling but i admit its not my strong suit
Thanks a bunch
Darren

Welcome to the board. Good to see a fellow Canadian. A couple of key things:

1. You need to be committed to your training. No steroid will make up for inconsistent training or poor nutrition. Steroids are NOT the magic beans people believe they are.
2. Start a tread in the nutrition section asking about calculating your TDEE and what daily caloric and macro consumptions are ideal to achieve your goal. 80% of your goals, whether its to gain or lean out are determined by your nutrition. No steroid will make up for bad nutrition.
3. Post your stats including body fat percentage. If your body fat is above 20% we'll tell you to get closer to 15%. If you don't, you increase the risks and dangers of steroid use.
4. Deca for a first cycle? Hell no! It's a harsh compound that will shut your natural testosterone production down hard and could keep it suppressed for 2-6 months. This could cause you to lose your sex drive or suffer from ED. Not good!!!
5. There is a ton of information about first time cycles here. Invest the time into reading. No one will spoon feed you but we'll gladly work on improving a cycle you propose.
6. There is a lot more to steroids than just choosing one. You need to plan your AI to keep your estrogen from rising and causing you problems, a proper PCT, as well all your HCG. If you haven't cycled before, ask yourself if your ready to put needles into yourself every other day for at least 12 weeks, an you'll of course need to pick up your syringes and pins and make sure you know where and how to properly inject.

Hopefully I haven't discouraged you. We'll set you up correctly but you'll need to spend some time on the items mentioned - especially committing yourself to consistent training and the proper nutrition. If you skip over these steps, you will be disappointed and will not achieve your desired outcomes.

Welcome! Looks like muscleink got you covered.
