Disapointing gains!

first some background:
I have been researching steroids for about 4 monthes now, and only recently started adding to this forum. I have known i wanted to try juicing for a while now, but i wanted to wait till i was 21 at least. I also wanted to reach my natural potential, and went all out the last 2 monthes. I was pretty happy with my progress, up 30lbs! I had put on fat as well as muscle, and was not my usual lean self. Although i really didnt enjoy what my body was looking like i kept at it, because of the rapid weight gain i also quit running(i love to run too!)
Today i started the leaning process with getting my bf checked-i finally got to see what i gained
what i saw was a 7%increase in bodyfat! Calculating what each % means left me with 14lbs of fat.

So here it is... have my "gains" are fat. Making allowences for water weight i gained maybe 10lbs of muscle. After cutting ill be lucky if im 8lbs heavier at the same (pre-gain) body fat. It looks like ill make my goal(i set it pretty low), but 4 monthes(ill have to cut for 2) for 8lbs?! This makes me rethink my steroid use timetable.
I guess ill still weight till im 21, since its only 5 monthes away, but them im starting the fina cycle i planned.
It is not worth turning my body into a lop of shit and missing out on my running for maybe 8lbs of musle.
 
What was your cycle like? Your diet...cals, protein? Training? Usually, the big culprit is diet, overtraining or poor cycle planning.
 
I really dont think my diet was the prob, after all, i did gain alot of weight...
i ate about 6kcal of food a day. No supps, i made my own protien shakes from milk and yogurt.
i ate a meal atleast every 3 hours religiously, with eggs in between meals
9-10 hours of sleep a night
lifted 3 times a week, concentrated almost exclusivly on heavy multijoint lifts; squats, bench, clean and jerk, stiffleg deadlift, bent over rows, bench dips w/ plates, and barbell curls.
Is is possible i could gain as much muscle without quite that much fat? Its hard to tell...i also wonder if i could have gained 2 lbs a month at 10% bf...
Thats what ill try next after i lean down, to gain slowly and not so much fat.
atleast till my 21:bday: :D
 
you really shouldve used a protein supplement instead of milk and yogurt. You need a butload of protein if you plan on building muscle during a bulking cycle and homemade yogurt and milk shakes wont build as much muscle as they will fat IMO.
 
what was your cycle like bro??

IMO, I don't think you did enough research. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe you didn't know enough about what you were taking??? 4 months is nothing when it comes to researching AS. I've been researching for around 3 or so years, and I have TONS of stuff to learn still.
You sound like you could still make some great gains naturally. You said you gained 30lbs in 2 months w/o AS?? Thats a lot of weight man!! You need to go "all out" every single month though if you want to see great gains.
Just my two cents though.
 
High protein consumption is a MUST on a bulking cycle, hell, its the building blocks for your muscular gains. Skimping on protein is a very bad tactic when using AS. You need a hell of alot of eggs, milk, and yougurt to get 300g or more per day of good usable protein into your muscles.
