My name is Ben and I am 29 years old. I have been lifting weights on and off for about 10 years now. Although I usually lift, take time off, lift, take time off... etc., I have been lifting consistently for about 1.5 years now. At this point, I believe that I have hit my natural limitations as far as strength and mass gains. Recently, I have contacted a clinic for HRT and I am considering my first cycle of anabolic steroids. I am adamant about keeping this legal (hence HRT) although the price is a big downer (I have a family and don't want to get in trouble). Below you can see my stats:
STATS
Age: 29
Height: 5'6"
weight: 169lbs
BF: 12.8%
Bench: 225lbs. X 6
Squat: 185lbs. X 10 (I cannot squat due to a bad right knee)
LAB WORK
Test: 610
IGF1: 212
After talking to the physician about HRT, he recommended that I take the following cycle for my first experience:
Test Cyp: 300mg X 1 weekly
Deca (nandrolone): 200mg X 1 weekly
Arimidex: .5mg EOD
Testogain & B Vital: Rotated Daily
(for a cycle length of 12 weeks)
PCT: HCG, Clomid, Novadex
I am looking to gain a moderate (10-15lbs) pounds of mass and cut about 3% body fat off this cycle. I understand that this test/deca cycle is very conservative but I feel like it will be a safe cycle due to the fact that we do not know how my body will react.... BUT will it work!?? For the money I am spending, I have read several threads that recommend bumping test to 400mg-600mg weekly and Deca to 300mg weekly. I am looking for an opinion from experienced users that can help guide me wisely and safely. I appreciate your time. Thanks!
