Hey guys, new here! Not looking to cycle yet but want unbiased info!

[marsbar2k5]

I'm 5"8-5"9, 21 years of age and weigh about 160 pounds and have an ectomorph build, over the last 2 months I've gained around 30 pounds (unfortunately not all muscle! Still happy as im now a much healthier weight), I'm still very much at the start of my journey as although I've always exercised I've never made gains until I started researching diet and proper workout/form (the gains that I have made were lost very easily). For this reason I don't think steroids are for me yet but researching them will do no harm for the future, im also following the GOMAD and starting strength routines, any opinions on this?
So yeah nice to meet you all, hopefully can get some unbiased truths about the results and side-effects of steroids, without the hate or glorification

haha i answered a question about the sides of steroids on ask.com the other day, now i can tell you what ive been experiencing with my cycles that ive done both now and in the past.

my balls did shrink, though not permanently but they did while on gear
more frequent erections and a stronger sex drive
bacne (back acne_
chacne (chest acne_
roid rage (not like random acts of violence but i did have a really quick temper and things that wouldnt normally bother me did)
all kinds of gainz in the gym
more vascularity
more self confidence in my outward appearance
increase in strength etc...
edit=also had joint pains

GOMAD: How to Gain 25lbs in 25 Days with Squats & Milk | StrongLifts StrongLifts

a gallon of milk a day, huh? well, I imagine it would work. it does have a lot of lactose (sugar), so the bulking up won't be clean.

Actually, I've heard this to work from a number of people over the years, just never read an article on how to do it.

anyways, welcome to the board!

Read your other post mojomalik, seems like your pretty happy with results then as the downsides seem to be mainly temporary for you. What were you like when you started out?
Ive read up on tren ace, its one ive considered for the future, I assume you cycled it with test, how times do you end up injecting each day and do you get much pip?
And yeah GOMAD kinda sucks, its also full of saturated fat but im assuming I wont lose gains if my body has something alternative to burn, its a nice addition to protein, hydration and calorie intake though plus I can lose the wait quickly if need be. Thanks btw

well before i started the cylce that im on right now i was cutting i was weighing 205 lbs at 6'2" PR on bench press was 330 lbs, squat 375 lbs (knee injury from when i was 17 has kept it low like this) dead lift 455 lbs, like i mentioned in my thread, ive been working out since 2005 and so far ive gained like 4 lbs but im just starting my 3rd week on this cycle and honestly i know its all lean muscle, like for instance i was repping 225 on bench 12 times now im getting it 15+ ive gone up in weight in all of my lifts, im more vascular in my biceps shoulders and forarms, i saw a vein in my right tricep when i was doing skull crushers the other day. i have been getting some pip, but not during the injection, its usually the next day with some mild to moderate soreness which has affected my leg workouts slightly, im injecting eod and im taking tren ace test prop and mast prop though im combining the test and mast into one injection so i only have to do 2 shots eod.
