Should I cycle again???
Guys,
I am 25 years old I have ran 1 cycle of Test E 500mg a week for 12 weeks. Cycle went horrible because I was an alcoholic and drank every weekend. I have now been sober for 7 months. Should I cycle again? I cant imagine the progress I would make being sober and all. I worry about long term health implications with steroids though, I am a healthy young man right now and I would like to stay that way.
Currently
weight-217lbs
bf- 16%
ht- 6'0
age- 25
Goals- I really do not care about being big, I was once 300lbs of solid fat lard. I care about aesthetics and being hard but I do enjoy being bigger than the average man. I am looking for a solid recomping cycle/cut.
Here are 2 cycles I have considered please help me decide which would be best for me.
Cycle #1
1-10 Testostorone Propionate 100mg EOD
1-10 Masteron Enanthate 400 mg 2x a week
6-10 Oral Winstrol 50 mg
1-10 Arimidex 0.5 mg EOD or as needed (currently on formeron for general E control)
Cycle #2
1-12 Testosterone Cypionate 500 mg a week
1-12 Masteron Enanthate 400 mg a week
8-12 Oral Winstrol 50mg
1-12 Arimidex 0.5 mg EOD or as needed
What do you think?

Have to agree with GearHead! I waited until I had some heavy metal on my dresser before I cycled again. What I did do was clean up my life,my diet, and my training for a year and a half. Killed it in the gym, got my head strait. Trust me you don't want to be in a situation where you need a check up from the neck up on gear...Without the booze you will move mountains as far as your physique. Wait for that metal!
Nate,
I'm gonna give u a different response to your question. August 24th I will be sober 10 years. You are in early sobriety. I don't want to hear about any distractions like steroids until you have your 1st year anniversary. You got 5 months to go. Anything can happen. There isn't anything more important in your life than staying sober. The recovery rate from alcoholism is around 3%. So 97% don't make it, obviously. Go to the gym. At 25 u still got plenty of natural testosterone to work with. Steroids are not physically addicting but they are psychologically addicting for sure. You don't need gear paraphernalia in your life right now. Both of us will always be alcoholics - that will never change. What you can do is stop drinking - which you have done - and stay stopped - I'll believe that when u get your year medallion.
Wishing you all of the good and none of the bad,
GearHead
Whether or not you cycle is your decision to make. There's long term implications, as you put it, with most things including alcohol.
Forget about the ones you proposed. Not good picks and def not for you. Your first cycle that you ran was perfect. You want my advice? You didn't get it right bc of the drinking, so try it again. Same cycle, better diet, more time in the gym. Keep the discipline all the way around, including with your compound choices. There's a reason we don't recommend new compounds until someone is ready. Get your ancillaries dialed in, prove a good pct, and meet your goals. Then you're ready for the next, yet still basic compound to add. Right now, you're still trying to get the first one right.
nate_1989I just didnt like how bloated I got with Test E and I know I was taking way to much Arimidex because I could not get my dick up. I was taking about 0.5 mg a day. any advice on that?
It's not the ester that bloats. It's the estro that causes water retention. Some hormones do have a knack for retaining water but test isn't really one of them. It's seen a lot with test p bc prop releases much quicker from the hormone, which is why it converts to estro at a higher rate.
Low estro and high estro will cause sexual dysfunction. The key is balancing your axis with proper use of your ancillaries. Gotta run blood work to check your AI until you get used to your body and different compounds and doses.
Problems with your cycles
Cycle #1
You have two different esters enanthate and propionate but have them ending at the same time. Rule of thumb is having them match up. In general the last drug to leave your system should be test so one does not have to worry about erectile dysfunction or other issues.
You also said you were an alcoholic. Orals are a no no. You should def get your lipids and liver enzymes checked out before starting your cycle
Cycle # 2
Better than cycle one. However still stay a away from orals until cleared.
My advice: get your lipids and liver enzymes checked out. Stay away from orals. Try doing a test cycle with a prop kick start and taper. Maybe proviron too but look at this as your first real cycle so don't try to do too much.
Congrats on being sober, keep it up!

Right now u can achieve what u want thru diet and working out. Now need to jump into another cycle. Post your diet here and your goals and they will design a diet. U got plenty of time to cycle later bro get right first good luck
RustyhookerFinish your 12 steps. Keep in the gym solid with work on diet, strength, goals and health. Leave the gear alone til you're fully in charge of gym and life. You got 40 yrs ahead to choose gear. Wait til the time is right.
Hell yea..steps are a guide to a good life..I live steps 1-3 and 10-12 everyday. Its a lifestyle and man its good to not shoot dope anymore. Except now I'm a gear junkie and may have to start up a steroid anonymous meeting, except in my program your sponsor has to be the opposite sex lol
well then i wanna join! as long as she's super slutty lol
RustyhookerHahaha! Agree!
