New to gear, don't want to fuck it up. Advice and Q&A appreciated
Okay, so I get out of the Army soon, and am interested in taking my fitness to a new level I can't with constant urinalysis and risk of serious punishment. I have been in seven years and when I joined as a young man, I was tiny. About 100 pounds soaking wet to be exact. I am not about 190ish, experimenting with different training and lifting throughout the years. All I have used to this point is pre-workout, protein, daily vitamin and omega-3's. My knowledge base of gear is very limited to Google. Basically I don't know shit. One thing that keeps becoming more and more apparent, is don't trust the big internet sites to purchase, and if you do it wrong, you could cause massive damage to your long term health. Health being very important to me, I'd like to avoid this. I'm really looking for a dummy's beginner's guide to a beginner cycle and post cycle. I am well educated in diet and exercise. Any tips, or anyone up to help me out with some Q&A would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Mike1982Welcome to the greatest community on earth my friend. Things can get a little complicated around here so never hesitate to ask a vet for help with whatever you need. First things first, it is awesome you want to learn and openly admit your knowledge isn't there. I commend you. So many act like they know and do more harm than good. Always respect the MODs here brother. They are here for the community and they are the authority here. When you can give us your stats and that will help us better help you. Height, weight, etc. You've done most of that already. Make sure you hit the forum hard because the information there is damn near priceless and its all in one place. Always know the rules and always keep it honest and you integrity in tact. Would you like for me to post you some links to help you get some of the basics down?
Absolutely man. I'm more scared to mess up and hurt myself than I want to try it out. I appreciate your advice and would love more links. I spend almost everyday after work and the gym cruising the internet and forums, etc... I updated my profile and posted my most current picture my friend took of me after the gym. Thanks again for your time and such a speedy response. Sorry about not updating my profile earlier, I'm still kind of finding my way around this site.
Well you came to the right place. A good place to start would be to read through all of the stickies above highlighted in yellow. Then you need to be clear on your goals like do I want to bulk, cut, build lean mass. It would be very helpful if you could post up some stats. Age, height, weight, body fat, even years of training. At the very least go back and fill out your profile so anyone that's willing to give you advice has an idea as to what they're working with. Otherwise you won't get much advice. So lets start there!
Okay, done and done. I will try to add more about goals and stuff in my profile. Thanks for the heads up and taking the time to respond.
Mike1982Sorry bud I was typing when you posted. Didn't mean to cut in on ya. My apologies brother.
Lol no worries bro! If we're saying the same things it just reinforces the advice. Good looking out.
Sirk1981Read the forums brother. Just about all your questions are in there. The vets are going to want your stats, more than just your weight before they help you out. There is a "Steroids for Dummies" guide in the forum. But welcome to EROIDS!
Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, I am currently trying to find my way around the site and find some info like what you posted about the 'for dummies' post. I still only have a very limited knowledge base and want to start from the bottom and build a good foundation of information. Thanks again.
