+ 1 First Bloodwork and Cycle Help
Hi everyone! I am new to the forum and would love to get some help. Here's a bit about myself: I am a 25-year-old natural lifter and have been lifting for the past 10 years. I am extremely passionate about weights. I have been studying nutrition and training for years now and feel like I control my diet and training very well. My dream has always been to be as huge as possible. I'm currently 82.7 kilograms and around 13% body fat. I want to gain some real mass and was thinking of starting with 300mg of testosterone cypionate to see how my body responds, hoping to titrate up for 20-24 weeks if my body allows it. If I start, I understand that I may need to stay on testosterone indefinitely, and I don't mind as long as I can keep progressing. I don't believe I have good genetics and fear that using steroids won't help. I have attached my first-ever blood test and hope you can give me some advice. I was planning on doing daily injections to have fewer spikes in testosterone and try to minimize side effects as much as possible. Please let me know if this is possible with my current blood tests, or if it's not a good idea. I also wanted to mention that I just finished cutting weight and have attached a picture of my current physique. I know there are many areas to improve, but I'm hoping that starting on gear from now on will allow me to keep progressing.

You could take a little boron to lower your shbg. It's just a mineral so you'll still be natty.
You're looking great brother. I can relate because at 28 I really was tired of supplements that barely worked and stagnation on my physique. With the availability of gear these days I can't say I'd blame you for jumping on. I would have in my example but I didn't have access back then.
All that said (and with a bit more wisdom than I had at that age), I think closer to 30, even mid-30s is a great time to get enhanced as your natural production will begin to drop a bit.
You can still make a ton of progress.
If you take the plunge, start at say 200mg and work your way up. That'd be my $0.02.

Full of excellent information.
You can do some amazing things with that natural bloodwork. I got to ~190-195lbs at your body fat with test levels 1/3 of yours. Just took me 18 years of natural lifting to do it lol. But I’m glad I waited to jump on gear for as long as I did. When you really figure out how to do it naturally, and I mean really figure it out like a science, hopping on gear becomes all the magical things naturals dream about what steroids do. Otherwise you end up looking natty but having the health of a gear user. Which no one wants to be in that camp.
I’d say give it another year or two, and if your heart and mind are still all in, then take the plunge.
I would stay natural if I was you. You're only 25 and your test levels are pretty good. You got a good physique going on brother!
