Thread: How old were u and how long did u research gear before ur first cycle

I was 50yr old and learned everything right here on BOP.

I was 25 working for a tree service . and after 2 years of that plus 3 hours in a gym I got tired of not seeing any real lean gains so I started asking around not smart but I didn't know what I was doing . I got my first cycle and blew up like a balloon .and man I love it I was addicted . then life happened lost my job and pretty much lost everything . taken years to get back to the point of where I can safely manage a gym membership . I have some other issues right now once I fix my back and my sleep issues its gonna be on .i would like to run year around but i am afraid the results wouldn't be quite as good as like if a took a few months between cycles .

I was 24. After loosing someone dear to me made me realize i had been wasting my life away. Hit the waits started a new lease on life 4am starts, study work gym eat sleep. Did this for 2 months with constant research literally every hour of the day. Realized i found my second home *gym*. Decided to make something of it why waste time. Jumped on prohormones and only took injects end of last year. Basic cycles so far. Yes i plan to compete. Yes i started late in my 20s, yes i started too early and have developed some tendinitis etc. But I have goals set in stone on my bedroom wall that i will achieve one way or another.

Come at me bodybuilding world.

One year research (post internet)

Started mid 30's

500mg test e for 12 weeks
dbol 5mg BD (50mg daily dose)
one month pct clomid and Nolva

galenika ampules test enanthate from Moldova

Thought I had found JC himself. At least that's how I felt and fucked.

I trained natural from 18 to 26. I read everything I could on gear before starting. I started AAS just before my 27th birthday.

I was in my late 30's and a guy at the gym got back from Turkey with some Primo. He wanted me to try it but I didn't know what to expect. He did the injects and everything but what I didn't know is that I ran a male dosage .... Sides were bad: acne on back and shoulders, body hair, body odor, sweats, .... Never again.

My first cycle was when I was 23yrs old. QV enantat 250 @ 300mg/week. Everything went surprising well! The second "cycle" was a doozy. My friend and I made some home brew tren A. We were going to run tren at 75mg e/o day. By the end of the first week, I was anxious as hell, not sleeping, couldn't walk without getting winded, felt like crap and was sweating like a beast. I had to bail out by the second week. Later I found out that my buddy never tried his because he was too scared. lol


I had thought I actually knew what I was doing. My first cycle was well planned and carried out. As for the second cycle; I didn't know how important it is to always have a testosterone base.

Trained natty from age 14 to 21. Around 20 years old I joined a ton of forums to research. At 21 I did my first cycle which was test e and anavar from Blaster. I've been on and off since then. My primary is cool with it as long as he gets to do my labs. Just started my first HGH cycle too.

I went to the biggest guy in the gym asked him what would be a good cycle to get big fast but not to big and he pointed me in the right direction

oops I was 25
