    You have a major problem if your only 11.5 stone after 2 cycles, forget steroids they will create more problems for someone like you in the long run. You need to learn how to eat to build tissue and construct a cardiop program what will drop bf while maintaining muscle tissue.

    Head over to the diet section and post your diet and go to the workout section and do some reading and research but please forget steroids.

    I have no experience with steroids but I can answer your first question.

    A couple of others have touched on it already, but yes it's possible to gain lean muscle without gaining fat, but it is not ideal.

    When you are training for muscular hypertrophy, you want to optimize your body's ability to get bigger/add new tissue. In order to do this effectively, you need to create a caloric surplus (you need to eat more calories than your body requires to maintain your current weight, usually to the tune of at least +500 calories but this varies from person to person). When you eat properly, your body should almost always be in an anabolic state, with the exception of the early morning hours when you are sleeping.

    If you carefully plan and follow your diet, you can bulk without gaining too much fat, but to optimize your body's ability to grow you need to eat plenty. Don't worry about gaining a little extra fat as long as you're adding lean muscle to go along with it.

    Best of luck.
