Newbie Questions

Hey Everyone,
I'm new here, I've been reading info and the FAQ's on the site for about 2 months. I'm 40 years old and been training on and off for about 3 years. I maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle and I have a solid workout schedule that I follow. I think I am ready to do my first ever cycle. I dont really plan on doing more than 1 or two cycles over the next year. I'm currently 6'2" 200lbs. My goal is 30lbs of lean mass over the next year. I am planning on a Sust/winny cycle but I wont get into that on this thread. I have a couple of questions that I need answers too so if anyone could help me out with them I'd appreciate it.

30lbs of lean mass in one year is completely unreasonable.

It'd be a good idea to get your test levels checked before cycling,

at your age, you may qualify for TRT/HRT.

Thanks, Why do you feel 30 lbs is an unrealistic goal. All accounts i've read about 20-25lbs gains with sust for a first cycle are common. I thought 30lbs would be a very reachable goal but maybe not. I actually do have a doctors appointment on Saturday this week to have all my blood work done and I'm going to ask to have a Test Panel done also. I will inquire about TRT with them but I'll probably have to seek out another doctor for that, mine tends to be pretty conservative when it comes to issues like that. I do have some questions to ask so if somebody could hit me up with an email or pm I appreciate it!
Thanks

You can ask any questions you want on the open forum,

unless they are about sources...so be wary of scammers who contact you.

You also need 25 posts to PM.

you could certainly gain 30lbs in a cycle, and even over a year.

But alot of it would be water and fat.

30lbs of LEAN TISSUE gain in a year is nearly impossible.

If it were possible every guy on this board would be IFBB pros.

ok, i got ya. I will rephrase and say I'd like to gain 30 lbs and stay as lean as possible over the next year. and like i said I have questions i cant post.
