Starting my first cycle at 19 AMA

[Geist]

Starting my first cycle(350mg test e) for 12-16 weeks.
Starting in about a week after I feel good about what I’m doing for my PCT.
19 years old 156lbs around 15 percent body fat and about 4 years of training.
315 squat, 315 deadlift and 225x5 bench. Haven’t been able to gain weight on 3k calories a day for almost a year at this point.
Will be posting baseline labs tomorrow and regularly posting updates and logging.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Haven’t been able to gain weight on 3k calories a day for almost a year at this point.

Why did you waste a year at 3k calories instead of increasing them after not progressing after a couple weeks

 

[Geist]

Spent a good chunk of time happy with the strength gains before the lack of muscle gains started to get to me; also went as low as 2800 sometimes and as high as 3500 for as long as 2 months at a time.

Dude.. eat more food, train hard, and more importantly enjoy your youth. Hop on when you’re 25+. I say this with respect- don’t be a fucking dumbass.

Smart move fs but I’ve had the age 19 in mind for a few years now. Already ordered my shit and no plans to turn back.

You got solid advise, but you’re going to do what you want anyway. Why did you even make this thread? Just to tell us you ordered some steroids and you’re going to take them?

 

[Syntha Claus]

Because…steroids. ru guys dum?

 

[Curlieque]

Did you do blood work? What's your levels at? When I did my first I was 225, but I had lifted for 7-8 years.

 

[Bigdaddyjak]

He has been lifting for 4 years and hit 155 , obviously maxed out !!

 

[Jacked_Wabbit28]

Dude I’d wait. Try and max out your potential and then hop on. Unless you’re set on competing I guess. To each their own but imo it’s not worth it right now.

Get off gear. Learn how to eat. Train as hard as possible, be consistent and grow.

 

[Skylerjohnson1996]

156 pounds and wanting to push it to the next level sounds like basic knowledge

 

[HAAM]

Unless there’s something wrong, - If you can’t grow on your natural test at 19, you’re not gonna grow by adding more.

TRAIN, EAT, SLEEP.

TRAIN- add reps, sets, or weight every session
EAT- your protien should be stable based on your weight. Start and end your day with protien. Get enough quality fats to support hormone function, add carbs to fuel workouts and spare protien. If you’re not gaining weight, add carbs.
SLEEP- basic recovery, set a bedtime and stick to it, more consistent, and stable sleep. Keep your room dark, any light can disrupt sleep patterns.

I guess you guys missed this

“Already ordered my shit and no plans to turn back.”

Little fucker is doomed.

I love how he said no plans to turn back like it's a life or death decision when in all reality it could turn his entire life upside down

 

[Bigdaddyjak]

Probably be best to ad 1000mgs of tren in a week !! It is his first cycle !!!!

He isn't doomed because of the steroids. He is doomed with that attitude and mindset. Life is hard. It is way harder with a hard head.

But what do I know? At 19 I was interested only in partying and pussy and no one warned me to not do it.

At 19 I caught my Frist felony at 19 your mind isn't matured yet and then you add an extra hormone into your body if your mind isn't matured or sound enough or have enough guidance it's a recipe for disaster you see these kids flexing on tiktok saying what there using what there not showing you is what's behind closed doors

4 years training to be 156lbs 15% bf?

Yeah this is a troll post

 

[thebiggestdumbass]

19 starting steroids

The sad part is this the norm now a days. My gyms sub 21 crowd is either on gear, on peptides, or on peptides about to start gear.

And none of them look like they are on gear despite running multiple cycles

You know, it seems like it. Especially with newly joiners. But the sad and craziest thing is that even f they are trolling, for every troll, there a dozen guys really doing this. Probably more.

 

[BigBack93]

If your levels are on the high end , I wouldn't take anything. IF anything start with 250mg and then up to 350 7/8 weeks in, Make sure you do really good pct and work just as hard after the cycle as you did on it. I can remember 2 time I did pct and because of things going on in my life I didn't even work out much for weeks after an lost those gains. Have fun but Id wait if I were you.

And ALL of them espousing all the "massive gainz, bro" and sharing their amazingly massive results from all the chemistry. But then you look at them and go....Huh?
Same with all the incredibly groundbreaking training techniques that got them the incredibly thick muscle bellies and striations.

I am going to a regional show tomorrow to support my friends. This means sitting through dude after dude who will be showcasing these gainz.

That’s the best part of regionals, sitting back stage and hearing about how hard everyone’s prep was when their still 10%+

Everyone in Mexico is AT LEAST 4 weeks out. It is rare to see anyone actually stage ready. Last show we went to, my wife looked at me after 20 minutes and begged to leave. My wife “You are fucking kidding me, right?” And everything she knows is from just from osmosis. Still, she knows better than these potatoes.
But I needed to be there because I am part of the “community”.

The PNW has good promoters and athletes. It’s just the latter being few and far between. (Tomorrow’s show, Night of Champions)
This is why I tell every aspiring BBer that they need to go to or do a national. Even if it means getting your ass handed to you.
Big time fucking wake up call.
