To Bulk or not to Bulk

[Freeflyer]

I'm more concerned with bulking over cutting up. Sure having a 6 pack like back in highschool would be nice but my wife has always been attracted to broad shoulders and a nice chest. I'm tall as heck and my upper body mass is fairly weak to say the least. I have all of my stats in the new member introduction forum for those of you that want to know everything about me. My daily meal intake and workout along with body stats I have included.

I have done an 8 week cycle about 4 years ago of Sust 250 250mg p/wk for the 8 weeks followed by 30 day PCT of clomid.
I didnt bulk up at all because my diet was weak and my workout routine was limited to about 30 minutes one day a week. No dedication and it isnt going to do the work for me. LOL Anyway I am looking to run an 8 week cycle week 1 & 8 250mg of sost 250 and 2 through 6 500mg of sost 250. I am being told by a friend that I need to stack it with Equigan if I intend on seeing any results, but based on what I have read on the forums its more for cutting and I am looking to get bulk gains over cutting and Ill cut naturally...eventually. The price of this EQ crap is insane so if there is something I can stack with the sost 250 that will actually help with mass and strength gains that would be awesome. Ill be doing a Clomid PCT.

I didnt put medical history on the other page. I dont have a history of disease, nor high blood pressure.

Thank you for any and all suggestions that are offered.

EQ = equipoise; not sure what Equigan is supposed to be. 1st cycle standard advice is 500mg test / week. you should see gains. EQ is given to racehorses for stamina, it promotes vascularity, dryness, hard appearance, helps with joints; is not a great bulker.

hate to say it but your sory is embarrassing. i hope you realized your mistakes and rectified your diet and workout routine.

stick with test and maybe a dianabol kickstart , BUT- i would go back to gym for at least 8 months. get your diet on point and commit for at least 3-4 days a week at a minimum 1 hr non stop solid workouts- commit to a healthy lifestyle before you resort to the gear, otherwise you will just ruin your chances and your health for jack Sh1t

Bro sorry to say this but your wife is going to have to wait.You are not in the gym enough.Your bf is to high so if you tryed to bulk you would get fat.So in the end you have to pay your dues in the gym.NO SHORTCUTS.

[Capebuffalo]

Post you diet in the diet section and let them help you. You will be surprised at how effective a proper diet can be. It however is more of a commitment than going to the gym.

You shouldnt even be thinking about running a cycle right now.
You need to cut down ur bf% to at least 12-14% before starting aas.
You DO NOT need any type of aas..
You NEED a solid diet, cardio and lift hard.


...DEDICATION....
