hey 46and2,
thanks bro for the concern, i really appreciate it. but, i have been doing my research. i don't have many years of lifting experience, in fact i have been back in the gym now for about 4 - 5 months after about a 2 year layoff. i am currently 5'9", 195 lbs (down from 220, but am going to drop to 180), 30 y.o., and don't know my bf%. since i have been back in the gym, i have been studying and researching for my first cycle. now, i already have the gear i am going to use for my first cycle, but i won't touch any of it until i am educated on it's positive and negative effects it will have on my body. i have done some research on my anti - e's as well and gotten some good advice from some of the bro's here. i guess i will answer your questions. i already gave you my stats. i have no juice experience as this will be my first cycle. i have lifted weights on and off for about the past ten years, mostly to keep myself in shape. never really was concerned about being really big. basically my goals are to trim and cut first, see natural gains when i start bulking and then do my cycle to add more muscle mass. i am working out 5 days per week. doing cardio in the a.m. on an empty stomach and working out in the afternoon. i am eating a low carb, high protein diet (about 220 - 240g protein & 60 - 80g carbs a day). taking prolab's thermopro w/ ma huang (4 a day), 10g L- glutamine a day, 2 multi-vitamins a day. my protein intake does include 3 shakes a day. i am eating pretty clean and drinking about 1 - 1 1/2 gal. of water a day. as far as my cycle, well it looks like it will be like this:
wk 1 - 4 : d-bol 35mg ed
wk 1 - 10: brovel test 200 300mg/wk
wk 1 - 10: brovel norandren 250mg/wk
will run clomid post cycle and have enough nolva to run throughout cycle and plan on having some liquidex on hand, too.
i know this cycle is mild, but if i diet and exercise correctly it will add some good gains. i have just started doing research on injecting (spotinjections.com) and will continue to do research until the time is right. right now i am focusing on trimming and cutting. after i get down to 180 lbs, i will gain naturally for a few months and continue my research and after seeing some natural gains, i am guessing i will start my cycle around march or april 2003. so as you can see, i have some time to study, ask questions, and educate myself on the good and bad my body will experience. but if you or any of the other bro's have any insight, i will gladly take it. thanks and peace
