No sir. A year of dedicated gym and foods first. Like hit 205 at 12% naturally first
Your 26 at that age your natural test levels should get you where u want to be with proper diet and training. How long have you been lifting?
What’s your diet?
Have you put in 100% in diet to gain?
What’s your training routine?
Have you plateaued?
Everyone is so fast to throw steroids at the problem when usually the problem is us whether it’s lack of dedication or discipline. Steroids won’t give you that they’re an awesome tool to utilize but if training diet and discipline are shit you will loss everything you gained.
These are all basic as questions you should be researching for yourself not trying to be spoon fed them from a forum. Put the effort in and it pays back cut corners you’ll stay a revolving door
Scrolling through temu and got reminded of you.
Fuckkk I need this got the link lol

Appreciate you homie. Now I’ve never ordered off temu so I trust sizing lol or it’s $6 just buy a large xl and 2xL lol
Better safe than sorry. Sizes have been fine on the 2 things I've ordered but I know if I tell you it'll be fine, it'll come small as shit. Lol
Nice I see you got your Karma back, now I'm the one who is Karma broke.
How the turn tables have turned lol
This thumbs for u bubba
Fuck I’m outta thumbs lol I got you tomorrow lol
I totally get where your coming from I know there a risk to taking stuff and I know it might be stupid for me to say this but I just want to put on the mass faster to answer your questions
-Training for about 2 years coming up on 3
-Diet I would say it’s decent not the best usually tend to get worse on the weekend
-I’m currently on a cut eating about 2350 calories a day I try to stay on it but the weekends I do tend to go over
-for training I go 5 times a week I run pplxul
- And for plateauing no I’m actually making good progress when it comes to progressive overloading by 5 pounds or getting more reps
No....untrue
If you’re in a cut and trying to lose fat try Reta that will amplify fat loss and make the weekends a little easier and up the cardio. Get bloodwork and see where ur test levels are. I fucked around when I was younger and didn’t listen because I wanted to get big quick and ended up messing my my hormones all up. At that age my natural levels were 800-900 now at 36 I cruise at 150mg of testosterone a week just to be at those same numbers if your like me and gonna do what you want do like @kahndum said get bloodwork have a baseline stick to test only if your naturally above 700 won’t need more than 250 a week to see results and make sure you have a proper pct lined up and ancillary to medicaid and size once eight weeks cycle to see how everything‘s going also have some research into what support supplements to take for your organs
I agree with you thank you once again I know your looking out for me and I appreciate it I joined this forum to learn more about steroids and what people recommend before I just started talking I do plan on doing more research before deciding on hopping on.
No doubt man I don’t want people making the same mistakes I made I could’ve avoid a lot of bullshit if I listened to the guys here but I was hard headed and had to learn the hard way. Doesn’t have to be that way.
Same, I messed around at 19 now im on trt at 29years old for the rest of my life, 100mg a week of test c
Yep it’s all fun till ur doc says you won’t see levels above 300 with exogenous test
Rightt
Test at first no Anavar. Things to keep an eye out for would be baseline blood work, and another blood panel after 6 weeks once your blood plasma is fully saturated. Make sure you are drinking a gallon of water a day minimum and you are getting a even balance of all the essential electrolytes everyday to protect your cardiovascular system. Another thing to do is to make sure you are tracking your BP everyday with a cuff, if you don't have one then buy one on Amazon they are cheap. Make sure you also have your Ancillaries on hand like your Aromasin / Nolva, these are precautionary drugs that can save your ass. What do they do? Look it up.
If you are blasting & cruising then you don't need to worry about a PCT, if this is something you don't wanna do long term and just wanna experiment, then I suggest you look further into the "Newbie Corner" everything you need to start a proper first cycle is in there.
Blood Work :
CBC
CMP
Test, Free, Bioavailable and Total - Uncapped
Lipid Panel
IGF-1
Ferritin
Homocystein
ApoB
Estradiol Ultrasensitive
Hemoglobin - A1c
GGT

Ok I wanted to ask what’s so bad about anavar and what would you recommend for a substitute and also should I run just test for the first cycle and how would I go about dosing it. Sorry about all the questions
It’s smart to only run one compound at a time to see how your body adapts to it. The saying “Test is best” is not said for no reason. Testosterone is more than enough to give you plenty of growth.
The dose is up to you and your goals. It’s also going to change based on if your are going to do a standard cycle with pct or the blast & cruise method.
You see his stats and skills??
Ok one last question so right now I’m around 175 I was thinking of starting maybe later this year or start of next if I were just run test and keep a clean diet and good training how much lean mass do you think I could put on in 6 months to a year
There is so many variables at play when it comes down to lean mass accrual over so many months.
I don’t wanna give exact numbers cause of that. I also don’t know your experience in the gym either. Also it comes down to genetics as well.
Thank you very much I’ll post an update if I decide to go through with it
