First cycle was at 17 years of age 15mg D.bol (ED) for 2-3 weeks and then it went up to 20mg D.Bol. I gained 1 stone off that and kept every pound when I came off. It wasnt all musle by all means.
Important Information for newbies:
Before committing to trying steroids make sure you are doing it for the right reason, make sure you have a goal in your mind. You must understand that when you reach your natural potential when taking steroids if you have not already achieved this then everything after this is impossible to keep if you come off completely. The human body works in ratios and balance, when we introduce hormones and drugs to the system we upset the balance which allows for the body to achieve things it would not normally be able to do. The way the body holds water (where it does and how much), stores fat, effect growth and catabolism is effected differently when we play with different compounds so the "look" of hormone user will be in relation to what he is taking along with his diet. To think you will blow up in a few weeks/months then look like the hulk then come off for health reasons and keep everything is absurd, it just will not happen. Great bodies come from long term use of hormones and drugs whilst being consistant with everything else, the look changes quickly when you come off. You will see this when you come off after a few cycles, this is where bridging/cruising comes into play but thats not what a newbie needs to do just yet, few cycles with short brakes between before you start doing stuff like this.
The idea is when you start out you need to find out how your body responds to individual compounds before stacking. You will grow easily at first so best start to play with D.Bol, Anavar, Test (E,P or C, Sust) on there own first. Get a feel for these at low doses (D.bol around 20mg (ED), Anavar around 40mg (ED), Test around 200mg (EW). Once you played with these and done say 2-3 different cycles by them selves then try something like low Test + D.Bol, low Test + Anavar, Low Test + Nandralone (Deca, NPP etc). From here then you can start to try other things like EQ, Tren, Mast etc, always start low and work upwards. Your first 2-3 stacked cycles should be no more than 400mg EW in total.
The biggest a natural fella going to get is at 7-8% BF with some water (5,11ft) is around 175lbs (80kg). This same fella with AAS in the blood for several years and some prep drugs could get to 4-5% dry at 210lb (95kg) but this is hard to achieve most will only see around 200lb in this condition. To achieve this 2-3g a week of AAS are often employed when not using "exotics" Beyond this it is "exotics" combinded with heavy AAS use such as peptides like Insulin, IGF-1, HGH and a few other "peps"
