Calling All Gurus

Hi all

I joined the forum back in 2009 when I was 22. At the time I was looking for first cycle advice however the general consensus among forum members was that I was too young to be using AAS. I chose to listen and not consider using until I was older. It’s now 7 years later and I’m back.

At 29, am I at a good (or better) age to start a cycle? I’ve done some research and it seems a test only cycle at 500mg per week is a good first cycle. Do you agree with this?

Here are my stats:

Height: 173cm
Weight: 77kg
Body fat: 15-16%

My plan is to focus the next few months on decreasing body fat to 10% before even considering a cycle. However, I would like to make sure (with your help) that I’ve covered all bases before.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks & regards,

SF

Hello SF - so what is your actual goal for the cycle, do you want to add weight (how much?), get hard and lean and vascular?

WOW! Well done and props to you ScarFace for being one of the few who actually listens and took the advice from the members on here!

15 - 16% is on the higher side in terms of a cycle, always better to be a bit leaner.
At those stats and considering you plan on doing a cut before you start your cycle, I assume you want to do a bulking cycle and pack on some more muscle, break plateaus and so forth.

500mg of test a week would be a great first cycle, you can add a kickstarter as well should you so desire but it is not needed.
I would recommend adding a bridge (basically, something to help keep you going while you wait for the test to leave your system). Two of the more popular orals to bridge with are Winstrol and Tbol.

Take a look at this sample cycle for a rough idea of what your cycle will consist of:

Make sure when you are on cycle you have your diet dialed in and you increase your calories.
It will take around 4 weeks until the test is in full swing.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

Hey Scarface, props for waiting it out. You are definitely in a better place now to cycle. Your goals are also on point mate.

Second Psy, if I remember correctly Psys first cycle log was similar and he ran it with good effect. I would personally lean towards Tbol for the bridge, but you'll only know if winny will be king once you take it.

Best of luck until then mate.

Hi TheV

Thanks for the reply.

I'm hoping to gain 6kg of lean muscle mass and maintain at least 4kg.

Do you think this is realistic?

Hi PsyCLown

Thanks, man! Figured it would've been irresponsible to come here for advice from people far more knowledgeable and then go against it.

Agree with you about body fat being too high. The plan is to drop to around 10% and then focus on gaining lean muscle mass while keeping body fat between 10-12%. I tend to gain a lot of fat when trying to add muscle so thinking by introducing I can add the muscle and limit the fat increase. Not sure if you agree with this?

What sort of calorie surplus would you suggest?

Thanks again!

P.S. Where can I find you first cycle log?

Hi Furk

Thanks very much for the response!

Would you choose Tbol over Var?

Thanks again!

hi oupa, any specific reason?
i'm thinking for the lean gains?

from what i have read tbol packs more size but doesn't leave you as lean?
