I've been lifting for about 17 years, going back to my 8th grade year. I was only lifting to improve performance and looks (i mean are theyre any other reasons). I was a big fish in a small pond and as a result I did not really have any mentors. I was the mentor. I had two experienced uncles that were both huge. They imparted knowledge about training splits and post workout protein. Other than that I was self taught. Being mildly intelligent i did not screw up too bad. Maybe only 5-6 years ago did my ego die down enough through self imposed humiliation that i began to be humble enough to follow the advice of others. What a novel idea! Its possible that some people know things i dont??!! I now have some appreciation for the fact that many people know better/ have more experience. In lifes journey i am only beginning to learn. I have run uneducated improperly dosed or timed cycles of Test prop, and separately deca. These two cycles were about a year apart and both were more than 8 years ago. I have done much to listen and learn since these cycles. I am working up to beginning my first "real" cycle. I will continue to learn and form relationships with guys or gals here to make informed choices. So help me, now that I am receptive to help. Forgive the hubris of my youth. Im 6'1" about 212-215, 15% bf. i work at a fitness center and train 5 days weekly. I am a nutrition major and feel very confident that my macros and micros are met with quality food, that being said i am open to suggestions. I have some ideas about what substances i want to use but will not spell out my cycle, so as to leave it wide open for suggestions. I would like to run about 8 weeks no more than 10, if only to reduce sides-again open to suggestions. Id like to avoid orals bc I'd like to keep my liver happy. Im also planning pct around Clomid, arimidex , maybe HcG. Really open to PCT advice. Thanks for reading, - D
