I am a newbie and would like to read as much as i can about what anabolics are recommended for my first cycle. I am 26 yrs old, 6'1" 170 lbs and trying to gain about 20-25 lbs of muscle mass by the culmination of my supplemental regimen. I would like to take anabolics that are less harsh (relatively speaking), and i accept the fact that it will take longer to get the results i am looking for because of that, but i also have been told that my gains will be more permanent if i utilize this method. Could someone please cut and paste some threads for me that contain the info i am looking for? I am still in the "educational/researching" phase. Thank you all in advance for your time and your help.
