You are small because you eat small and train light.

I don't train light. I bench pressed last at 180 lbs. I tried slingshot too. I did circuit training. I tried HIIT. I tried dropsets. I tried TUT. Nothing significantly works. I appreciate your advice

Just stick with it. Like you I am an ectomorph, however if I start to eat too much, the calories turn to fat, not muscle. The point is, I understand exactly where you are coming from.

That said, you are very young & there is a legit concern that you will ruin your natural production of testosterone meaning TRT for life. Also be aware that when you start to grow as you hadn’t before, the AAS will be getting more addictive. Be prepared that you will be looking at and seeking other compounds & taking higher doses that could potentially be harmful to your health.

If you go through with this, temper your expectations. As the ectomorph that you describe, your gains will likely come slower and be more modest.

Good luck with what you are doing, it sounds well thought out for the most part.

thanks for your appreciative response. Indeed, you got it right. No matter how much i eat it turns to fat mostly, i have this belly that sticks out prominently even with the 32'' small waist i carry. I knew the risk and that's why i took a calculated decision after years of research, and this is essentially why i decided to run low dose to be as friendly as possible to my HPTA. I am having realistic approach since i am running such a mild dose, even if i get to learn my body on first cycle, that will be my achievement. I have already bumped up my calories 500+. I am wanting to wait until mid cycle BW to decide how much of an AI i will need so i can buy it from a pharmacy here. I appreciate everyone who gave me advice and i am open to any advice, knowledge from experienced members.

This perhaps should be a new post in itself, however it's been on my mind of late.

Diet.

I understand my diet is no where near perfect (however it isn't junk food) and a lot of you bang on about diet etc.

Since eating healthier, I do feel better. That I won't argue.

However, with family, work, life in general we don't all have the ability to have perfect diets (it's also expensive).

But we may want to look and feel better. Hence steroids. Personally I'm on my 2nd Sus250 cycle (400mg a week) and have no desire to compete or be the biggest guy. It does however enhance my mood (I used to suffer depression from low test) and my body looks decent.

Could I have achieve these results via diet? Maybe.. but I'm 42 and in the last 25 years never quite nailed the diet. Again, I don't eat fast food or junk, but my diet is definitely not chicken breast and steamed broccoli daily.

Thoughts on this? Surely I am not alone on this, are others in the same boat?

If you cant get diet right it means your half assing it. Its not rocket science, read about it and practice. Over time you will find what suits you best but you gotta put in the effort.Start is the hardest

Seems to me that you are blaming other things for your lack of commitment in the diet deparrment.

Eating clean doesnt have to be expensive either. You can freeze meat find good deals etc.


Im half assing the diet also i eat alot protein but i dont count other macros. But im not trying to bodybuild per se and i like it this way. But I admit to myself i could put more effort into it, maybe some day i will. Just doesnt feel neccesary atm
