Allo allo,
Now after reading a few stickys around the place I noticed that you don't realy enjoy utter newbie posts asking basic shit, so I'll try to be as succinct as possible. I've done a bit of research on the substances I'm about to ask about but it's still all a bit of a jumble in my mind and I'm just looking for more of a solid conclusion of sorts from those who have experience in the field.
So my goals are: Bulk Up, but not be overly huge. Just a bit more thicket than what I am at the moment (5'10" @ ~73 kg).
I've got a fairly rapid metabolism so I find it hard to put on weight, and once it's on, I find it hard to keep it. I guess I'm what you'd call a "hard gainer." I suppose the good side of this is that I've got a somewhat low BFI at around 11% which leaves me with a bit of definition around the place which is nice. :P
I'm 21 and Basically I've been training for 2 and a bit years, and over the years have become more and more serious about my training. For example when I first started I completely neglected my diet and had a shit regime. Soon the regime was taken care of, and I've had a good diet for about a year now. So everything is good now.
A very brief run down on what I may eat on an average day at the moment: (not a set diet)
Meal 1: Wheat Cereal / Oats & Fruit
Meal 2: Mass Gainer Shake (50/50 protein/carbs)
Meal 3: Bowl of Brown Rice, Tuna, and Melted Cheese / A nice carb & protein packed sub from Subway or something similar
~15g of Tribulus
Workout
Meal 4: Mass Gainer Shake (50/50)
Meal 5: The dinner that mum makes(usually consists of a big slab of red meat or white meat and heaps of vegies)
Meal 6: If I'm hungry I'll have a tuna/cheese/mayo toasted sandwich an hour before bed
If it's available (usually available 3 times a week) I'll have a big chicken breast for lunch and mix it in with potatoes and stuff. Salmon's on the menu sometimes as well. Also, I llluuurrvvv cottage cheese. As I said, it's a brief run down, don't look too much into it.
My workout regime is basically 4 days a week, around 1-1.5 hours per session, sometimes 2 hours if I'm slack :P
Ok, so here are my queries:
1. First of all while it's on my mind, I recently purchased a supply of MRM Ecdysterone. I read a fair bit about it and the literature (I stick to sources that DONT sell m the product they review) basically gave a pretty impressive review, even with skepticism in the back of my mind. But I can't help but feel I've still been ripped off and bought into the hype of it all. Can anyone shed some light on this little bitch for me? Cheers.
2. Now I don't like injections and needles, and I certainly don't have the balls to stick one into my own body, so when I first queried my PT (he's a competing BB... a big bugger :P) I asked him how he found Dbol's effectiveness because I didn't like injecting. His first reply was that I shouldn't be using Dbol just on its own, and that if I wanted to use an oral steroid I should use Stanazolol. But then I read in this forum that Stanazolol isnt recommended on its own? Keeping in mind my goals are to bulk up a little bit.
3. In terms of oral steroids (once again, I apologise for not wanting to inject myself / have injections for my first steroid cycle.... but you know how it is, cut me some slack? :P) is there such thing as an effective "oral only" first time cycle? Imagine that all I had available was oral roids, which would you recommend? I know that Dbol is great for strength and mass gains, but why would my PT not recommend it on its own, and instead opt for Stanazolol which (from what I gather) is more of a cutting substance? Are there other orals which you'd recommend as more suitable?
4. Thats all I can think of at this time, hopefully I didn't make you angry by asking too many repeated questions :P
Cheers guys, appreciate it.
PS. I'm only looking to do a test only cycle if you havent worked that out by now, as I simply dont want to overload my body with all these new fandangle hormones etc, and also because it would take a substantial chunk out of my bank account (as a uni student, i need all the money i can get :P)
