    Talking New guy getting back into it

    Hey everyone, I am new to the forum. I read the posts by Drummerboy and marcus300 about what to consider before steroid use.
    My deal is this, I have gotten back into lifting for 3 months now and already benching 250 lbs for 10 reps, squats for 315 lbs 10 reps, lat pull downs 210lbs 10 reps but have been off lifting for 2 years before I started back up.

    So after reading Drummerboy's rules before steroid use, rule 3 states "You havent trained for at least a couple years." But marcus300 says "You need a few years of hard training under your belt before even considering taking any kind of anabolic support" In a way I do have. Do not get me wrong, I am not looking to take it right now, but I am planning my first cycle sometime in Feb or Mar because I still have extra poundage to lose and I figure by then I will have plateaued at my strongest which is bench 315, squat 350, and lat pull down 250 lbs. It is just unclear for someone like me to start because I do not want to lift for 3 more years of being at a plateau.

    Another question, where is a good place to research steroids, because a lot of the ones I find on the web claim to be legit, but the reviews seem to be filled with opinions, contradictions, or just leave out information that other reviews have so I do not know what to really believe.

    welcome aboard man, i just signed up y think right after you,

    I noticed you said you plateaued at 315 on your bench, thats where i was for awhile

    you may have seen this already but it worked well for me except i didn't train the opposite muscle groups hard enough and kind of jacked up my rotater for a bit but thats me!

    its funny some of the guys at my gym were joking with me that i was juicing when i was doing this cause i was getting pretty quick gains although not 50lbs like the article but added 35lbs, just creatine and alot of protein really

    Hey I really appreciate the article you provided me with, I guess I should have pointed out that I am not really into getting stronger (though would be a nice side effect and sure will happen) but more like cosmetic reasons. See I am able to get toned to the point where I have no love handles and 33 inch waist ( I am 6ft) but not with out weakening myself, and losing muscle and still not getting that line down in the middle of my abs.
    I just watched this movie called Bigger Faster Stronger Movie and at one point there is a guy who is fairly built and really lean was doing a commercial for a weight loss supplement being interviewed but the real reason he is so lean is because he also does roids. To tell you the truth, I am tired of busting my ass in the gym (some even said I over trained) and I still didn't have the body that guy had.
    The only reason I listed my strengths is because one of the rules was I should hit my maximum strength that I can naturally reach then use roids. The days where I will actually need strength to throw around heavy weight around are over.
