hello all..Another newbie here.

[fasttwitch]

After about 6 months of reading I'm going to order and as soon as I get my gear start my first cycle. I believe I'm ready. Been naturally lifting for 3 years, tweaking my diet, sleep, lifting times, reps and sets. I'm ready for gear.

My basic stats are:
age: 34
height: 6'3
weight: 247
BF: 16-17 %

I eat 5 meals a day..approx. 50 % carbs (lots of fruit, potatoes and bread), 30 % protein and 20 % fat.

I hit each muscle group twice a week. The first is heavy weight, 5-8 reps for usually 4 sets. After 3 days I'll hit it again with lighter weight, 7-9 reps, 3 sets with some drop-setting at the later sets towards the end of the workout. This routine has worked fairly well for me in the past.

I would like to add at least another 15 lbs of muscle while keeping fat gain to a minimum. I've ruled out Winstrol because of the sides ( Girls love my hair ) and I wish to keep my hair, I've heard Winstrol can be hard on hair. Anavar is expensive, Deca people keep writing about "Deca-dick." <---yikes! I'm thinking primobolan only, or perhaps stacked with Equipoise, but I've read about the effects of Equipoise on hunger, and perhaps that might be a problems when looking for lean mass gains?

Primobolan looks relatively safe for a beginner..appears easy on the hair..gyno seems to rarely be a problem..I'd like to get it injectable as opposed to oral so I imagine I'm gonna have to suck it up and be a man with the "needles" issue.

I'm thinking of starting the first week at 250 mg and within 3 weeks be at 400 mg..run cycle for 8-10 weeks with a tapering at the last 2 weeks and then some PCT.

Does this sound like it'll work OK for my lean mass gain goal, with safety in mind? Or should I tweak it?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

welcome. seeing this is your first cycle i would run just test at 500mg a wk 250mg on mon and 250mg on thur

you should up your protien to especailly whie on cycle to about 2g per lb of body wieght as far as deca dick as long as you keep or test dose higher than deca you'll be fine

If you want a bulking cycle Alin has some premade cycles available in his shop, he has newbie cycles to competition cycles. You can 400mg of deca and 750mg of test or sust either is good, and you dont have to split up the dosage you can shoot them together in the same syringe, use a 23g needle its a relatively small needle with little to no pain as long as you inject it in the proper place. It seems to me however that you are looking to also slim down, perhaps you should try dieting before you start taking gear as some will cauase you to retain water and if you have a stomach already it may be difficult for you to lose.

there is no need on your first cycle to run test at 750mg a wk sick with 500mg yes you can mix deca & test in the same syringe but you should dived the dose to be injected twice a wk it will help keep blood levels more stable

Thanks everyone for your advise.

I think I'm gonna to drop 10-15 lbs during the next month, before I cycle. I like this weight..but definitely want more of the solid stuff.

I'm going to keep reading to figure the right cycle for me out. Damn..I know what test could do for me so I hate not having really considered it, I just worry about the extra DHT and estrogen. Especially DHT. I mean, I play guitar and have even been scouted by a modeling agency and really really want to protect the hair.

Bolderone keeps sounding better the more I read about it..I have previously focused on deca, anavar, primo..but from what I'm reading, the sides of Bolderone could actually be good.

Back to reading all. Thanks again for taking the time to advise me.
