My first cycle, need help!

This is not to sound mean but you don't look like you've ever worked out before. And you want to jump into AAS? I can't imagine there's anything good about that scenario.

I'm an absolute newb to this stuff myself but not to working out. In 8 years I was able to go from 165 to 260 at around 15% bf, natural. Just takes work and dedication. I stopped lifting for 8 years and just started again in January. I'm making awesome gains, still natural. Too awesome really because my joints are having trouble keeping up. I'm also in the planning stages of a 1st cycle but I won't be doing it until my gains (muscle memory) stop and I get some other issues taken care of like joints, body fat, and my low test issue.

IMO...you need to at least build some sort of base first. You wouldn't build a house on a base of sand would you? You need something solid to build on or things will just come crashing down.

Look at the last picture I have uploaded in my OP. I just uploaded it this morning. After a long break and I mean long, I have started gym back up again. It's been a month.. Just a little something to prove I still have some muscle memory and the ability to train.

Muscle memory is a wonderful thing. I'm riding that wave right now too. I lifted for about 8 years. Stopped for 8 years. Started again 2.5 months ago. Making awesome progress. I'm going to wait a year then do a cycle and see what happens. Good luck to you. Seems like you are on the right track.

Well done bro! I hope I'm ready within a year myself. Well I would rather start in 6 months but I won't kid myself. I'm ready when I'm ready :P

I hear ya. If I keep telling myself one year, one year, one year...maybe I can make it one year...lol...but yeah...I'd like to start sooner honestly but I know I'm not ready. My joints have a lot of catching up to do and if I don't slow down as it is...I may be too wrecked to start even in a year.
