The good kind of newbie....

I have read the newbie post, I have been lurking and reading for 2 months, I have and continue to use the search engine, I am 32 not 17, I have been lifting seriously for 12 years, I already have a source, I have the gear in hand, and I have just begun my first cycle with some email help from 2Thick.

Now that the torches are put away, I hope...

I should probably be the poster boy for the leagization of AS for physique improvement. I have most certainly utilized 95% of my genetic potential, such as it is. I have very small bones (e.g., light skeleton), am short 5' 8" becuase I have scoliosis,and have still managed to achieve a respectable 185 solid pounds.

However, checking my workout logs for the last 2 years, I find I have made minimal improvements despite variations in diet, routine, and intensity. I have periodized volume and intensity over the years as well.

Since I am all tapped out and not quite where I want to be, I have decided to get some chemical help.

My goal is 190-195 lean. So, I hope to gain something like 20 pounds on my cycle and diet off about 5-10 pounds of fat after that. I am doing an 8 week cycle of sust/primo with clomid eod and nolv in hand should it become necessary.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who contributes, especially the mods, to this information source. I would not have been as well informed with your help.

Welcome to the board bro. I did it like you did. I read for probably 2 months before I ever posted. Hell I learned more in that 2 months of reading this board than I did in a year of research. This is a great board and it is always good to see a newbie with a good head on their shoulders. Why don't you post that cycle and let us check it out? Peace...Mav

Good luck on your cycle bro. For the gains your looking for go with 500mg of Sust week for 6 weeks and 300mg of Primo for 8 weeks.

Thanks for the comments.

Here is my cycle:

Week Sust Primo Clomid
1 500 --- eod
2 500 --- eod
3 250 400 eod
4 250 400 eod
5 250 400 eod
6 250 400 eod
7 --- 500 eod
8 --- 500 eod
9 --- --- ed
10 --- --- ed

The idea is to have the test clear the system while primo is still present to maintain the gains. I wanted to keep the sust a bit low to avoid sides, but I might be willing to push it to 500 for 6 weeks if the consensus is that it is necessary.

Nice first cycle. It is obvious 2Thick has been at work on this one. 2Thick is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to plan very safe and effective cycles. However, I do have one change I would like to add. Just advice, you can do what you want. You said that you are trying to keep the primo in your system while the test clears. Well, sust can be in your system for up to 4 weeks so if it was me I would continue the primo for one more week, if not two more, at 400 mg. Other than that it looks great. Let us know how it goes. Peace...Mav

Thanks for input guys...

As it happens, I have 27 vials of primo so I could do the last weeks 400, 400, 300 to get your suggested extra week of primo.

Another possibility is if I decide to get a bit more sust, I can simply purchase another week or two worth of primo.

The advantage of waiting until you are older to start AS is that money is not the bottleneck.

This should be an interesting experiment. I have long suspected (really should get it tested) that my test levels are on the low end, so I expect to have a strong reaction.

Thanks for the welcome, Ranger.

2Thick was very helpful with the feedback, but I told him up front I was doing a sust/primo cycle and he suggested some amounts and timing. Believe it or not, he actually suggested sust at 500 a week straight through... Wonders never cease.

It's great to have a forum for this stuff -- very glad I stumbled onto you guys.

I know a lot of people are of the opinion that <500 mg of sust a week, even for a first cycle, is insufficient. I intend to use a fair amount of primo, but are there any voices for me raising the sust to 500mg /week for 6 weeks?

OK, a compromise. I will up the test to 500 mg/week but I'd rather save the Dbol for the next cycle. Especially given that I've already started and don't have any on hand...

Thanks for the feedback.

In my opinion if your so worried about the TEST clearing your system I would swith to TEST prop and primo. That's just me though.

I have always believed that I will not force someone to change their cycle (unless it is dangerous). It is their body, money, effort...etc.

Your cycle will be great as you had it. You have many many cycles ahead of you, so why rush into the heavy dosages?

2Thick --

Is it reasonable to expect that my cycle as originally presented will result in 20 pounds of mass gain (not counting the water weight.

If not, am I better served maximizing my first cycle or simply doing another cycle in a few months to complete the journey?

I got to say this is probably the best newbie post I've read here yet!!! He's done eveything right from getting all his gear up front to consulting a Mod for detailed help. This should be saved and posted as an example on the newbie post as to how they should conduct themselves!!!! I'm mean re-read that first paragraph again, 32yrs old and just starting AS, has a source already so he wont be asking on every thread, has all his gear in hand, been lifting for 12 YEARS (not months) naturally, and most important HE USES THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!!! Welcome to the board Bro, and I mean it this time, lol!!!

Oh, and if you haven't figured out the players yet let me help:

1. Ranger- our own version of the prisoner with privlages!!!!!
2. E2- well, our version of GOD!!!!
3. 2Thick- our version of Einstein, very knowledgable and sometimes controversial, hehehe!!
4. SSMAN- "Gainer of the year" winner, last cycle gained 50+ pounds!!!!
5. Well I'll let you figure the rest out!!!!

Maverik --

No doubt -- all the praise is a ruse to see if I will feel secure and show my true colors by asking what nolvadex is and will it stop gyno? Or, will squats make my legs bigger?

BTW, in response to your comment on starting another debate, I wonder which is better:

Hit the first cycle hard to maximize gains because the receptors are virgin, or go a bit lighter, have less impact on the receptors, and get better results averaged over a few cycles.

For me, I think a moderate first cycle is a good compromise. Get most of the benefits of the first cycle while guaging the effects on my body.

Yoda--

Thanks for the kind words and the cast of characters.

I remember the late 80's/ early 90's when the internet was just getting started in its present form. Everyone was polite, well informed, and commmunication was enjoyable. Then along came AOL and every moron and his brother showed up with an opinion based on their 30 seconds of experience in something or another. Every since then I have made it my internet posting policy to shut up until I have something to contribute.

Intensity: I was just fuckin with ya'. I always give credit where credit is due and this is a good post I have to admit. As far as which is best: hitting it hard at first or taking it easy. For me I wanted my first real cycle to go off with a bang so I hit mine hard. However, the safer way to do it is to start out low and work your way up. This way you know how you respond. Do a search on this and you will see what I mean about a big debate. Everybody has a different opinion on how you should do your first cycle.

Peace...Mav

Wow...this is a cool post....I'm a newbie also.....kinda.....I've been reading and researching for three months for my first cycle. I want to do a sust./primo cycle. I thought about doing sust at 250 every five days for eight weeks and then add primo at week four at 200 mg a week for seven weeks so I can solidify my gains.....I don't know just thinking about it. Got a while before I start my first cycle....who knows I might just do intensity's cycle. Later bros
