considering first cycle ever...test prop

[JasonT]

if your eating sufficient calories over maitenance, generally 500-700+, your going to gain muscle. eating 1500 calories over and gaining weight faster is not going to equate to more muscle gain. i hope you guys understand that eating more than necessary is not going to magically speed up muscle gains. unless you intend on getting fat, eating an excess WITHIN REASON is the best way to ensure muscle gain.

hence the reason to cylce in the first place. your body can only synthesize so much muscle in so much time, overkill on food or training is not going to speed up a natural process

Have you approached your genetic limit or are you looking for a shortcut?

i dont think i have reached my full potential yet. and if you want to put it that way then yes, i am looking for a way to gain muscle just a bit quicker than continuing all natural.

Whatever you do is obviously up to you, but the better of a base you build, the more advantageous aas will be for you. Also, your tendons will be stronger and you will be less injury prone. You want to get the most out of what you take, especially considering the different toxicities.

as far as "getting the most out of it", i think for my first cycle (assuming i actually do it) i dont want to go crazy with different compounds, etc, etc. i figure a nice safe dose of just test will give good gains and basically no sides as long as everything else is in check.

i know some people advocate an all out anabolic blitzkreig for your first cycle because there is the belief you experience the most/best gains during this time. however i much prefer to take the safer/veryy slow route and ease into this. im in no hurry.

what i meant by that was that even on a test only cycle, you want to get the most out of it.
