Ok so a few weeks ago I posted my first cycle and ask for advice. Man I got blasted! I was told I was using to many compounds for a newbie, that I was probably gonna be shut down for life, and that my cycle pretty much sucked. I did however get some positive constructive advice. Thanks to my man roid noid. I'm still pretty new to this site and to chemical enhancement. What I am not new to is a clean diet and kick ass training. I have been in exemplary shape my entire life. A couple of guys told me I was crazy for using winny cause it was a BF% compound ect. I felt like everyone thought I just decided to start lifting then a month later juice. I'm in my mid 30's and Ive never done it cause I've never needed to. I've always been bigger, stronger, and faster than guys my age and size. After reading the feedback I got freaked out a little. I will admitt I DID NOT do the research I should have done before I cycled. I read about the specific compounds I was going to use and not much else. So within hours of posting I was contacting my family Dr. He is also an ex-football player like myself but also an avid power lifter. He brow beat me pretty good for not talking to him before I jump into it. After that he eased my mind. I was no where near shutting down for life or having any unbearable side affects. He did blood work and told me for what I had used and the amount of time I used them I was looking good. Also my gains have been amazing. I am very pleased I decided to cycle. I also have piece of mind now that doc is in the loop. I guess my point is you can post what your using, how long your using it, your stats, training exp. and so on and so on. Whatever advice you receive is from someone that has been there and done that (hopefully). They for the most part mean well BUT they are telling you what happened to them or what researching a certain compound or subject taught them. No one has any idea exactly how anything will work with or react to your unique genetic make up. Because everybody's body is indeed different. Nothing can substitute for first hand medical advice and testing from a doc you believe in and trust. I remember one dude posting "go do some research and come back and tell us what you learned. That will make the old timers respect you and know you care about what you put in your body." Thats paraphrased. My Dr. Has helped plan out PCT and also my next cycle. I have become very interested in AAS. I have been doing tons of reading and researching. It has become one of my main interest. But I will never substitute anything I read or something another AAS user says for an M.D.'s opinion. My second cycle will include tren ace. I know someone as new as me gets blasted around here for using that compound but again no ones knows how a persons body will respond to anything. My advice to anyone thinking of using AAS. Don't base decisions about using things that effect the chemical make up of your body on message boards. Or what a substance did to so and so. Seek advice from a trained medical professional. Have blood labs done. Keep your Dr. In the know of changes to your body. If you don't have health insurance or can't afford to go to the Dr. Then why in hell are you spending money on AAS in the first place. Unless of course your the guy that drives the Porsce ans lives in his moms basement.
