1st Cycle; Contemplating an Addition; Thoughts?

[Honkey_Kong]

How could somebody 5'9 and 145lbs consider them self athletic? I suggest you stop taking the ****ing steroids. If your test levels are low, get on TRT, but don't be cycling. By the way, putting on 15lbs in 3-4 months is pretty good naturally (supposing it's lean muscle mass). And if you can do that, why would you even want to mess with steroids?

Since when is height and weight a parameter for athleticism? I wrestled in college (never had to cut wait because I was very lean); I can do 20 pull-ups before fail; run a 5 minute mile; touch a 10' rim with no running start and grab it with a running start; I can flat bench more than 130% of my body weight 3 times. I can do 60+ push-ups in one set before fail; according to you this year's Division I Wrestling national Champion at 125 lbs class, who is 5'8", is not athletic, yet he went undefeated this year and won the national championship, and oh, yeah he only has one leg (go to you tube for a video of it, quite remarkable).

I agree one can be that size and athletic. But being athletic does not mean you have built a good base for AAS. I am 280 pounds and can do 60 pushups and 20 pull ups. Those numbers do not mean you have a large enough base

I know where you guys are coming from. Yes part of me is rationalizing, and while I may not be an ideal candidate to have started I did start and I am doing the cycle regardless (I am 4 weeks in now) and am looking for constructive, anonymous advice working under that assumption. I am not a teenager still developing. I am 31 years old and want to accelerate development and build a more physical (menacing?) appearance. At the end of the day, is that not what it's all about? Is there really anyone outside of HIV patients that should really be taking AAS? Is there a need for someone who is 6' 0" 250lbs and can bench 315lbs to take gear so they can get up to 275lbs. and 405lbs. on the bench? At the end of the day most of our decisions are based on image and what makes us feel good. And it feels good to look good. It feels good to feel strong.

And btw, 20 push-ups at 280lbs you are a beast!!

not to take anything away from him, but not having a leg gives him a extra 30lbs easy he can build in his upper body, he is huge compared to the rest of the people. but it is amazing what he did!
