Before most of you detest my idea, let's look at my history of athletics first. If you want to skip ahead to my stats from when I started lifting, I've bolded the part of my starting weight.
So before I ever started lifting any weights, the thought of bench presses, squats, and deadlifts made me roll my eyes.
But I did love sports. I just hated weight training.
Up until I picked up weights to curl dumbells and dumbbell press, I'd played sports my whole life.
In my teens, I played baseball, football, basketball and soccer. And until the age of 22, I was an amateur boxer.
After getting worn out of boxing, I decided to walk into my university campus gym and start pumping weight. I realized my boxing physique wasn't the healthiest and didn't get me as much attention from the ladies as I'd hoped for.
In March 2011, at the age of 22, I weighed in at 143lbs and below 5% bodyfat. And at 5'11, it doesn't look good outside the ring.
My goal was to get bigger. My role models were Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. But I sucked in the gym. I couldn't do pull ups or dips. And every lift I had was weak. I knew I was pretty weak in the training room.
After lots of talking to gym-goers and researching on sites like here, eating would help to put back on a lot of mass. And boy did I become a chunky ball player type, but my strength sky-rocketed.
In 10 months, my weight went from 143 to 175. But most people said me at 175 looked more like 185-190.
My lifts went up greatly.
My bench press from 115lbs max in May (when I started doing bench press) to 205 max in January 2012. I know it's not much now, but back then it was a huge lift for me.
I continued to gain weight and went up to 185, but most people thought I looked 190-200.
My power really skyrocketed.
I really lamented squats, but at that weight, my half squat was at least 405 and my deadlift was atleast 340. And I was doing 225lbs on the bench press for 5x5.
So in a year and a half my three big lifts skyrocketed, as well as every other exercises.
In 1 year and four months,
Bench = from 115 to 225 for reps
Squat = from 95 to 405 (half squat)
Deadlift = from 155 to atleast 340
But since I was getting to be a chunky monkey and I wanted my stomach to go down a bit, plus I got tired of stuffing my face, I started dropping pounds off my waist.
So right now, a year and 9 months after I began weightlifting, I'm around 165-170lbs, between 9-12% body fat and my three big lift totals are
Bench press= 225lbs, done at the end of a training day just for the heck of it.
Deadlift= 365lbs, did it this past week just to see if I still had it.
Squat= 315, I can probably squeeze three at a 90 degree bend at the knees. For ass-to-grass squats, I know it's over 225 for sure, just because I use to do them about 3 months ago.
So my question to you all, should I start taking Test E at 500mg for 12 weeks and should I supplement with winstrol?
Everyone tells me to stay away from the stuff, but then I find out it seems like everyone in the gym is on something.
