+ 1 First cycle!

hello guys,
I'm 21 years old. I've been training naturally for over a year. In this time, I gained 9 pounds of muscle and lost 21 pounds of fat. But I still weigh only 132 pounds. I could gain maybe 10 pounds naturally this year which would put me at 142 which is still small.
So, I've decided to do one short cycle(4-6), gain maybe 10-15 pounds of muscle, do a proper PCT and return back to training without drugs. The question is will I be able to retain the muscle I gained on the cycle when I go off it with proper diet and training?

Just wanna say thanks to all you guys for helping me out and pointing me in the right direction. I'm gonna stay natty, eat better and fix everything that I'm doing wrong now. Let's see how it works out
FYI this lad has taken the critique on board and I'm working with him on his diet.

I wish I could mind meld with you and show you how naive you are being bro. You have your whole adult life in front of you and you want to take unnecessary risks with it. Messing with your hormones at your age will lead to consequences unknown.
My advice is lift natural, learn to master your diet and enjoy life. In fifteen or twenty years when time starts to catch up with you then come talk to us about AAS.
Looked at your age and this is big mistake not sure about your height as it says 172 but the main thing missing here is what madman is pointing u 2. U will only be throwing your health and $ in the trash u have to put on some mass (weight) and about 9 more yrs. Sorry but this is my honest 2 cents.
Do you have one of these in your kitchen?
Yep
Well then introduce yourself to it and consume everything in it. Your not eating enough.
@ your height you should be at least 170lbs.
Post up a pic to give us a better idea where your at.
Truth is I've been eating well for the past year.
Eating above tdee when I bulk with 1.2g/pound of body weight protein, 2x body weight of carbs and around 50g of fat. Sleeping 7 hours, drinking 4 litres of water. But funny thing is it doesn't show in the gains
Twice your body weight is only 280g of carbs. It's 8.30am and I've eaten two thirds of your daily carb intake already..
The numbers are irrelevant to be honest. If you're not growing, it's not enough, increase it. When you say you've eaten well the last year, give me a typical day if what you eat and when.

You don't actually eat anything, that's why you're not gaining. You are NOT eating well like you think you are. You're barely getting 100g of protein from food it's all protein powder. All I see in your diet is sugar, supplements with the odd bit of rice and chicken thrown in.
We can sort this out for you mate. Drop me a line and I'll help you. Leave the steroids alone and I'll 100% get you growing if you follow my advice. Deal?
Go take a look at this guy. Pay attention to what he says at the top.

Okay
It'll be great if you can do that
I've approved your FR. We'll talk on PM.
How much above TDEE?
200-300
That is not cutting it obviously. So now go to 500 above. If you are still not gaining then go to 750 above and so on until the scale starts moving in the right direction.
Absolutely.
Honestly? No. You don't know how to eat, (hence you're current weight), you've built no base, (derived also from your current weight and the fact you've been training for five minutes).
Ok. We can't help you with that.
I count my macros and calories.
What's a good base to start from?
Yeah ok.............. quit dreaming and start fkn eating and training like a man possessed.
Is gaining 10 pounds hard on the first cycle by someone who's not close to their genetic potential?
it will just be water load..................... soon as you quit the cycle that will fall right off, and you said it yourself........... hit your genetic potential first, you may be shocked what your genetic potential really is.
Lol hahahaha im going to use that some day.!!!!
Don't do it! You are too young and have no base to build from.
Eat an train till your at least 25 and weigh 180lbs.
Your test levels are that high naturally at your age, you will gain weight no problem you've just got to eat, then eat again then eat more!
