To use or not to use?

How accurate are the calipers??? I just got my first set...... Was curious if they are somewhat accurate???

depends on the caliper, some make it easy to read the results, while cheaper ones make it harder to read accurate results, and then it also depends on the test you run with it, you have multiple areas on your body to perform the test, and the majority of these tests require another person to measure them on you, so i guess it's accurate if you get a good caliper and do it on yourself or get someone else to do an extensive test on you

You look like you have a solid base. Keep it up. I promise it will work out fine. And in a few years you can push through any plateaus u might hit.

Go for a steady lean bulk and maybe a bit further down the track you could look at doing a cycle

thanks guys, after my cut i guess i could go on an extended lean bulk another year or two natural, now that i'm more aware how to train and eat, and see what happens with that, and then judge if i want to hop on AAS, but you know how we all want our gains right now lol.. i'm just sad i spent more than 4 years working out to broscience with minimal gains

24 isn't too young to cycle, I cycled at 23 no sides, maintaned most gains good to go

what scares me is not the age but mostly hairloss, the risk of needing a cycle every once in a while to keep my goal gains, resulting in massive hairloss since i'm already heading down that path, and i really want to prolong the life of my hair, but i really dont know how much hair i'd lose without trying it, and if on the other hand you tell me i could keep most gains from just one cycle, then it's more appealing, but from threads i've read, i'd lose the gains of that first cycle over time if i dont cycle again
