25 Y/O Male, first cycle ever. Not afraid of the needle

[Windex]

Hey guys, my name is Sean. I am about to do my frist cycle. To give you a little history. I was really scrawny in high school. 6ft 2 150 lbs, I always wanted to be bigger but my body just never seemed to co-operate. I considered steroids but after doing some research I found out that it was a really bad idea at 17.

Fast forward 8 years, I have been going to the gym + doing sports on an off forever. I have been working 6 days a week for about a year Trying to get the body I have always wanted. Lost about 30 lbs and put on a good amount of muscle. I am happy with the progress I have made so far but still want more. Diet is near perfect, Oatmeal for breakfast, shake for snack, chicken rice / brocoilli for lunch, shake for snack, chicken / veggies for dinner. I have reached what I feel is the limit of what my body will put on in terms of muscle naturally.

Before I start I just wanted to get some thoughts, what would be the best cycle for a newbie? I am not afraid of the needle, though I would like to limit poking myself as much as possible.

I am 6ft3 195lbs. I am looking to gain some size that I can keep with continued efforts at the gym. I am not looking to be anywhere near what some of you guys are, I can't even imagine how many years it took you to get there! Great Job!

The cycle that has been suggested to me ( what I am leaning towards) is 60 mg Anavar + cypionate (forget the dosage right now)

Thank you for your input

Not to rain on your parade, but the bolded is evidence that your diet has a lot of room for improvement. A "near-perfect" diet would only have 1 shake a day, which is Post-Workout. I strongly encourage you to post your diet in the diet section of these forums as anyone 6ft or taller should easily be able to achieve 200 lbs+, 12% BF naturally. If you can't then you aren't eating or training properly, it's that simple. There are a few members on this board that are in the 220-240 lb range with low bodyfat that are natural. In addition, you need to realize that steroids are not a magic answer, as dieting is the foundation to bodybuilding and I cannot stress that enough. You will look worse after steroids if you do not eat properly, optimally, both during cycle and PCT.

The cycle your friend recommended is terrible, stop taking his advice all together. In addition to posting up your diet, your going to need to either buy calipers or post your pics in the member's picture forum to find out your Bodyfat%. This will help calculate your TDEE to find out approx. how many cals and what kind of macronutrient (Protein/Carbs/Fat) breakdown you require.

Also post your training as everyone always has room for improvement there.

Before even thinking about purchasing anabolics and do some research and go through the educational threads and actually read them. I swear I don't know how people make it into their mid/late 20's and can't do independent research for themselves.

Familiarize and understand the following concepts:

- Macronutrients, Micronutrients, and the big 3 for dieting with respect to bodybuilding (What you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat)
- A "beginner test-only cycle"
- What Post-Cycle Therapy is, Aromatase Inhibitors, HCG, and how to detect side effects of anabolic steroids (Ie - Gyno)
- How to change your diet on cycle and PCT
- Possible side effects (both long term and short term) of steroid use AND steroid abuse.
- How to properly inject (including sanitation)

That should keep you busy for a while.
