Growth happens in the kitchen, not at the end of a syringe. Stick all the needles and gear in you that you desire. Until you've calculated your TDEE and developed a nutrition plan whereby the correct proportion of macros and daily caloric intake exceeds your current TDEE, you won't grow. If you doubt that statement, go ahead. See what happens. You will never grow without the right amount of food to reach your goals.
It's very myopic of you to think it will be one cycle and the dose will not have its set backs. Hormone manipulation should be considered very carefully. Your endocrine system and the hormones it manufactures regulate a range of essential physiological processes (mood, appetite, digestion, circadian rhythms, cognition, immune system function, sexual performance and sex drive, lipid metabolism, and more). Shutting down or impairing the natural order of your hormone environment WILL have consequences. There are several guys on here your age and younger who ran a single properly developed cycle BUT after their PCT their HTPA remained suppressed and now they are dealing with subphysiological levels of testosterone, erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, depression, myalgia, arthralgia and more.
Even during a well planned cycle, you are at risks for elevated hematocrit and RBCs (risk factors for stroke, MCI, and other cardiovascular diseases), hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), hypertension (high blood pressure), alopecia (hair loss), immunosuppression, and more. How will you deal with these challenges? Ignoring them is NOT an option. On top of all this, you'll need to keep your aromatization activity in check to limit dangerous elevations in estrogen.
Better nutrition and a 4-5 day/wk training program is what you need. You will see substantial gains. Steroids is NOT where you start. It's where you "finish" so to speak.
