Hello!
I have a couple of questions, but first things first a little history:
AGE: 22
HEIGHT: 5´11
WEIGHT:187, I was near 220 but decided to shed some fat before doing a cycle.
BODYFAT %: Anywhere from 12-15%
LIFTING EXPERIENCE: First time ever I touched a weight was back in 2002, when I traded my playstation for a weider bench set and have been hooked ever since. At first I trained like a bodybuilder for a few years but gradually my interest steered towards strength and in 2005 I began training for strongman competitions. Things were going great but then I got what is commonly known as jumpers knee or patellar tendonitis. And being the fool that I am I kept up heavy training while trying to ignore the pain.
Of course that didnt help so I finally went to an ortho and got an MRI scan done. Turned outI had a micro tear on my patellar tendon.
So since early january 2008 I have been rehabbing my knee but at the same time strengthing my core and also trying to get some pressing power. Luckily my knee is healing nicely and I am feeling no pain. '
I have been always telling myself that I have no business doing AAS until I have a good strength base and now I feel that I am nearing that base. In a few weeks time I hope to deadlift 550 and bench 315 at my current bodyweight(raw of course), squatting heavy is still out due to my knee.
CYCLE EXPERIENCE: NONE
I have read up alot for a few weeks now on different cycles and AAS in general etc. and was thinking of taking the plunge sometime mid-late may 2008. That is of course if my knee is 100%, no sense in doing a cycle while injured. I have a whole bunch of strongman competitions coming up beginning July 1st and basically doing one comp a week from July 1st onward( I want to gain more experience doing comps)
Now I know the general rule is to do a Test E cycle only if you´ve never done a cycle before, BUT considering I will be training heavy and hard and doing competitions aswell would it be acceptable doing the Novice Cycle #2-1 as shown on the main page of this site?
I know the reasons why not to as a noob, but I also see benefits from this cycle due to the joint lubricating effect provided by the Deca.
I would like to hear everyones opinions and possible alternatives!
P.S. Sorry for the long winded post! And thanks to anyone who bothered to read!

I basically have anything at my disposal (Good source) So what do u guys think of running 2 types of test in the cycle, like Cyp and E? Any real benefits? Or just a waste? I´m thinking its a waste but thought I´d ask.
12 week cycle)
