    Im too skinny for BB comp and powerloifting comp, but is there a rule on how much to weigh to run a cycle?

    I don't want aesthetics, I'm looking to boost strength, I know at 5'11 I need to be 200+ for PL meet but to compete with myself I'm fine with my size. Hopefully gain 20lbs over next couple yrs, and regards to nutrition I have a good diet I get my macros, just not consistant with the caloric surplus for gaining lbs, which isn't important I like my build in the mirror and my strength is good I just want it to be better.

    Any advice on which cycle for PL?

    And I believe I have a solid base my. 1rm at the gym was bench 225 w/pause squat 315 below parallel and 350 DL. I had one of the PT's check my form while doing these and he complimented my form and called out the pause and rack command for me.

    Size matters in PL as well bro... But lets say you're content at your weight and would compete in that range. At your height, it really shows that you don't know how to eat sufficient calories. Which means your training is not as brutal as it could or should be.

    I'm 5'11" as well, and I didn't touch gear until I was 29 and weighed 225. I'm now 260.

    Put in the work eating first. Get up to around 200lbs naturally and then consider gear. Also just so you know, many or dare I say most powerlifters do no cycle. They blast as cruise.
