Age?
Weight?
Number of years with consistent diet and training?

If you could go back and start all over would you have waited until you were older or had more training/dieting knowledge? I've seen a lot of post by people who have no business cycling. Were you one of those people who learned the hard way?
 
O god. I was 18 179lb 5'7 cycle was 200mg deca a week for 10 weeks or somhing like that. es I would have waited a long long time if I had to do it again.
 
38yrs old
2 1/2yrs consistent training
sust 500wk-10wks
wish I would have started 10yrs earlier!!!
 
22 years old 5’10” 165 lbs 6-8% BF
Training 7 years (started lifting when I weighed 115 lbs)
Diet Obviously I didn’t eat enough
300mg/week Deca 8 weeks no PCT (never heard of it)

Great experience, just wish I knew more about diet back then
 
First cycle?

Age: 29
Weight: 136 lbs
Years of training before cycle: 4
Weight at beginning of training: 160 lbs

BF % at beginning of first cycle: around 15%
Weight after first cycle: 152 lbs
BF % at end of cycle: 11%

First cycle was both Tren Ace and Test Cyp. The only other supplements on that first cycle was ZMA to help with sleep and Super Digestaway to help with digesting food because I stayed full all of the time. My diet was pretty clean, a lean gainer type of diet, but with a ton of beef.

My diet was something like:

Meal 1:

4 egg whites and 1 whole egg
1 cup of oatmeal or brown rice with whipping cream
6 oz of lean white meat
4-6 oz strawberrries or 1 small banana

Meal 2:

8 oz lean beef
1.5 cups salad using 3 tbsp Newmans Olive Oil and Vinegarette
1 medium yam or sweet potato and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray (yes, spray)
a handful of pecans or almonds

Meal 3:

8-12 oz lean beef
2 cups cooked green veggies (greens, legumes, brocolli, etc...)
1 tbsp Flax Seed oil
1 small to medium banana

Meal 4:

4 egg whites and two whole eggs
Banana and a protein shake (about 32 grams of protein)

Meal 5:

12 oz lean beef
2 cups of cooked veggies
1 cup of oatmeal or brown rice with whipping cream

Meal 6:

1 can of tuna
1 cup of cooked veggies
1 tbsp of Flax Seed oil
a handful of almonds or walnuts

I would have two cheat meals per week but in moderation.

My post work out meals after leg days were:

1 banana
1 cup of cooked oatmeal or brown rice with whipping cream
1 small yam or sweet potato
2 cups of green veggies
32 grams of protein powder in a shake.

I remember my first cycle, diet, routine, etc just like I remember my first girl that I lost my virginity to.
 
19 years old
170-175lbs 5'8" 7-8%bf
training 6 years already. mostly not knowing what i was doing, only been eating right for about 6 months, just not enough

unfortunately i didnt know wtf PCT was either. other than that I have no regrets
 
22
6'2'' 225lbs @ about 13-14%.
after cycle 255 @ about 15%.
cycle was test e @ 500 EW for 12 weeks. dbol @ 30 mgs ED weeks 1-6.
training for 9 years. started at 13. The last 3 years before hitting the cycle were very serious and consistant. I researched for a year and a half before going on. No I wouldn't change it!
2nd cycle in September- 25 now. i'm getting so excited!
 
41 years old. Been involved with bodybuilding since I was 13. (Saw Arnold's first appearance in the US.) Took time off in my 20's (party time!) and got back into it in my 30's. Reevaluated a lot of stuff and hit upon some techniques that made me go up 25 pounds drug free in two years. Once I maxxed out I did a few pussy cycles, never exceeding 6 weeks or 600 mgs a week total. After my 3rd cycle I competed in the NPC Nationals and placed 5th.

hey what was your workout split in general?

for the NPC ( cliff notes version) :)
 
At the time of my first cycle I was 30 years old and 200 lbs. (5'9")

Consistently training for about 14 years... diet wasn't the greatest in my teens and early 20's but I'm an ecto so it wasn't an issue.

I think I was at my natty peak at about 25-26... so I wish I started juicin' a year or two sooner. All in all I'm very pleased with my progress over the years and don't regret any decisions I've made thus far.

Good thread for newbs to read.
 
too young almost 21. I was 5'8" tall and about 165lbs. went to 185 in about 4 weeks off 250mg of sust. did an 8 weeker. at the time it was all i could afford paying street/gym prices. If I had to do it over I would have researched and waited another 2 -3 years.
 
I was 26 yrs old 5'7 185lbs and I took Test E 250mgs and Deca 200mgs a week for 8 weeks. I gained and kept about ten lbs.
 
First cycle was 10 weeks of Test E 500mg. I was 25yo , 6'0 210 lbs, 18% bf I was only training for 18 months consistantly. Im now at, 225 lbs 8-9% b.f.

I'm sure Rick will let you download my books. :)

First fitness book I ever bought, me and a buddy saved up and bought the muscle building furnace, helped us both add some weight and were good reads.
 
Was 5'11" 225 at 12% and 17 years old

Did 500mg Sust EW
300mg Deca EW
For 8 weeks. Oh and 30mg D-bol ED for 4 weeks.

Blew up to 255 lol.
 
Donnie Darko,

How did that diet work for you with your first tren cycle?

Just wonderin, im on a keto High proten/mod fat/low carb diet but feel like I am sacrificing gains when I would probably lose weight with a clean bulking diet.

Running Tren e/ test p
 
16 years old , dbol by itself! no pct either. i went from 185 to 195 and i maxed out on bench at 305 my sophomore year of high school :)
NO JOKE BROTHAS

The diet worked really well. I think I gained up to 156 total, but lost weight back down to 152 a month post cycle and then started gaining a little bit again until the next cycle. I got enough carbs, but that diet was only a backbone layout that I started out with. I varied it when I was in the mood, I added turbinado to my oats, rice, and yams, I would have some simple sugars such as steak sauce, and sometimes I'd eat ground sirloin with salsa in it. I had to vary the diet or I wouldn't have made it. I also had to drink a ton of water with all of that beef or I would have had chinese constipation....HUNG CHOW. :)
 
Hmm I think I was maybe 24 yrs old
weighed 150 at 5'8
dbol only cycle, gained 20 lbs
No pct kept 10-12 lbs.

I started training around 17 yrs of age(so around 7 yrs training prior) at 117 lbs. Would I do it all over again? Hell yes,and them some!!
 
Had just turned 19. I think I weighed 175 lbs lifted for 4 years. Doc was giving me deca. I think 200 mg per week not sure. Was 26 years ago.

And yes if I were able to do it over again I would wait. But back then 1982 we did not have near the information we have today!
