Cycle for USMC training

[hehateme000]

Holy hell bro....show me the dude who has done 2 descent cycles with awesome results.....and has been able to say...."O.K....I'm Done" This shit is like potato chips..."Betcha can't eat just one"

haha, i know it will be addicting as fuck but mainly i learn about everything here so i have the knowledge to become a personal trainer and to understand the body more. I want to learn human anatomy and physiology, I dont really want to keep doing cycle after cycle because the two things that kill steroid users is long time use and amount of gear used.

+1 --you cannot say you will not cycle again--life is funny--it has a plan and has not consulted you so you never know where you will be is a year much less 20 (your recent events prove this). dont make a decision at 20 b/v you know what will haoppen when you are 40----better lucl with the lottery than predicting the future

Taking a cycle is your own choice. I choose to only do 2 cycles in my life. I know i will love the gains but that doesnt mean i have to keep taking cycles. 2 cycles will get me to where i dont see a point of getting better, im already in great shape. I could just use a little more mass. And i just wanted a safe cycle that could get me stronger for bootcamp, and one right before if i dont have a high enough PFT to be in RECON. I Dont know what my plan is in life and it CAN change, but thats my plan for the marine corps and i dont see how those 2 cycles will do any harm to me.

and hence the problem. we have tread this ground before hateme so i will not reitterate why it is wrong.....just know that willful blindness is human, but not smart, nor logical.

good luck with whatever road you follow....

a new ef first--a poem that does not involve boobs---by robert frost

The Road Not Taken (1921)

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

k thank you. i might choose to not do them instead, i really dont know. IS there anything wrong with my cycle?

Ive been through the mental part, so im already past them Lol what i mean is that ive already been through the worse part. I was a squad leader when i was there and idk i wanted to use this time off to train extra hard.

Right now i can do 75 pushups without stopping, 103 crunches in 2 minutes, 13:30 2 mile run, and 13 pullups. Mainly i wanted to get faster while getting my pullups and pushups to increase, but it doesnt neccassarily mean i have to do a cycle to get that, i just know it will help me a lot and i know im doin it safe.

Lil Bro....I salute ya for signing up......but I don't think you've been through the worse part yet......I'll throw down everything that I have to bet that when you complete your first contract you'll look back on Basic Training and laugh at what you thought was "the mental part" of your training..........try being the one in charge of a group of men and telling them what they are going to do next......with everyone scared shitless........with real bullets landing around ya coming from some really pissed off people..........you'll find that it requires a little more mental toughness and self-awareness then it does getting your ass chewed as a squad leader in Basic because your buddy didn't make his bunk tight enough that morning..........just believe me on that one bro.......its gonna be a long road, but it will be fun........just be a good solid bro...and a good troop.....do your time....take what they give ya....have some fun.....take the rid.......then Run Forest Run!!! Sorry if I said to much or didn't tell ya what you wanted to hear......lets just say I got my t-shirt folded away.......so leave that cycle until later Lil Bro.......go get laid....hang out with your friends and family........Vandel's signing off on this one....Vaya con Dios Lil Bro!

+1 from a bro that has been there and done that--advice does not get any better--

The way MEPS works is that you go do a full physical. Yes that physical includes a urine test. That physical I believe is good for 6 months. So when he goes back in he shouldn't have to do another. He'll just go to get shipped to basic

He should be fine, it's just test

Bro,....to be honest....I wouldn't cycle a damn thing before going to boot camp. If I were you i'd just train natural...get your diet on lock....be able to run 6 miles strait without stopping.....and at least 2 miles between 12-14 minutes.....be able to carry 60lbs on your back and walk for 12 miles in boots....be able to do 85 push-ups in 2 minutes, and 86 sit-ups in 2 minutes. Honestly man....figure out your natural physical limitations before going back to Boot Camp...and how to be mentally tough enough to push past them.......i think thats the whole point of going to Boot Camp bro...don't cheat yourself out of that experience. Save that lil cycle for later.....and use it while your fighting "Hodgie" in the sandbox!

Former Marine here as well.

When I went to Parris Island I was a skinny little runt and I made it though the first try, so big muscles are not required down there. I'm not even sure they will help much since mostly its an endurance, mental, and pain threshold test. The only things you'll do that require strength are carrying a heavy pack for hours and the obstacle course.

But, I don't see how it couldn't hurt if you just want a confidence boost. As long as you are recovered and your natty hormones have balanced out again it shouldn't be a problem. The last thing you want is to have PC depression down there.

Good Luck!

why bother? at that age all you need is a good diet and plenty of rest. keep your vitamins and bcaa and nothing more.. I said it here before "once you us aas you will never be the same" . I started gear in my late 20s and now on permanently at age 40.

needing big muscles is the last thing you need for boot camp. I went in weighing 145 and had a 285 pft. i came out wieghing 155. honestly bro i dont think the juice is necessary one bit for boot camp.
