Hi guys, first time post here...
Just wanted to write a brief introduction before posting on the forum so people know my aims/goals/history/stats before I ask for any advice.
Age: 38
Sex: Male
Weight: 84kg
Height: 188cm
BF%: 10% approx
I've been training seriously for the past 8 years, after having a background in football/soccer (I'm from the UK). My training now consists of between 7-9 workouts a week, 70% CrossFit and 30% bodybuilding style workouts. I compete locally in CF events but am mostly concerned with adding some size over the next 12 months. I have stuck with CF as my main form of training as I enjoy it. A lot of my friends train at the same CF gym and I find the bodybuilding workouts I do quite boring, although I'm looking at doing a 50/50 split for the net year to try and pack on some size.
My diet is 90% clean and I seem to maintain a steady weight of 84kg on 3500cals a day. Eating 3500cals clean everyday can get pretty tough. I supplement with protein shakes, BCAA's, Omega 3s and caffine for pre-workout.
I have been researching the possibility of running a first time TEST ONLY cycle for a while now and this is how I came across Dylan Gemelli's YouTube channel (absolute gold by the way), which in turn led me here. Like I said I'm 38yrs old, have a wife and 6yr old little girl so the prospect of injecting or having any of the 'gear' needed in the house is a little concerning. I've been tempted with oral only cycles a few time for this reason, but I know I won't get the most out of it and will end up wasting time and money due to the suppression. I've also looked into Sarms but they seem VERY expensive! I'm not looking to spend 4 figures for one bulking/recomp cycle.
Anyway, any advise would be great or I hope this served as a little introduction.
Dylan, keep up the great work. Your information through your YouTube channel and on the forums is fantastic.
