Welcome p74,
l love this post. First of all, congrats on your new lifestyle and achieving a healthy state. Be very proud as the majority are too lazy to even make the decision to become healthy. Pat yourself on the back.
While you might not realize it, your diet changes and consistency are what led to this growth. This is an entirely rare situation where someone changes diets for the betterment of muscle tissue gain without really breaking down macronutrients/calories, etc... One thing I live by is, if it's not broken, don't fix it.
Now, the chances of you maxing your genetic potential is about as close to zero as possible. Does that mean you're not ready to cycle and reach those limits? Absolutely not. Nothing wrong with getting an edge, it's why we're all here for the most part. You obviously have patients as you havent jumped on the wagon (or is it off the wagon?) just yet. Most folks, and I'm sure you've seen this... will say things to the effect of "I started training last month and I want to do a cycle". That level of impatience is worrisome and troublesome.
I'm curious to know how tall you are. It's the only statistic missing from your post. Depending on your height, you very well may be ready. If you're 6'2", I'd say 182 lbs is too light and continue with your regimen. Under 6 foot would be just fine. However, body fat has increased just slightly over what I would recommend for cycling steroids. I prefer that you wait until you drop your body fat down to 16 or less so that you can avoid amplified side effects while on cycle, including but not limited to high blood pressure and excessive aromatization, which both would lead to a host of complications.
Once you cycle, you will experience a burst of strength. This is commonly underestimated as folks begin to lift heavier and heavier. It's entirely important to pace yourself during these bursts because chances are, your connective tissue (Tendons/ligaments) are not strong enough for such impact. This quickly leads to injury and hinders further progress.
I'd like to share a thread with you in hopes that it would shed some light on both; needs and wants for a cycle.
