Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to thank all the vets & gurus who took their time to put some of their knowledge down in writing for us newbies.

My stats: 40yrs old, 200 lbs, 5'10"

I did a lot of reading on this forum before I even created my account. With all the info on aas I found here, I feel confident enough to safely start my first cycle ever.

This site provided me with a src list to research & a huge list of gear to learn about.
Wow... I seriously had no clue about anything...cycles, pct, bloods, etc. But I'm happy state that based on everything I found on this site, I just placed my gear order this past Thursday from one of the top sources here and I'm all set to go. Can't wait to start.

Part of the reason I started thinking about gear is because I plateaued at the gym. I'm an ectomorph & gains are hard to come by for me. I was 160lbs back in my 20s. Did a little jujitsu in my early 30s at around 175lbs. Would practice against guys in the 200-230lbs range because I was the smallest guy in the dojo. That was 8 yrs ago.

It took me a long time to pack on some muscle. I'd eat like a horse but I always blamed my high metabolism for staying thin. I avoided cardio/aerobic activities because I didn't want to lose any weight.

More recently, I went from 191lbs to 200lbs in over a year of consistently working out 5 days/wks & eating healthy. & for the last 4 months, I haven't made any gains in weight, muscularity, or strength.

After plenty of consideration, I chose the following cycle:

1-4 test p 100mg eod
1-12 test e 300mg/wk
4-pct ai
11-15 test p 100mg eod

16-19 clomid 100/100/50/50
16-19 nolvadex 40/40/20/20

Then, I plan to take 19 weeks off before even considering another cycle.
All advice and criticism is welcome.
