I’m going to try to make this brief so sorry if it gets a little long.
I just turned 25 years old. I started lifting weights in 06. I followed some programs and had decent success. I’m 5’6” and at my heaviest I was about 165 lbs. I don’t know the bf% but it wasn’t that high. I did want to get a little more cut though. I tried the Palumbo diet. I tried it because it was spelled out pretty well online and this was my first time cutting so I wanted something that was tried and tested. I think I did too much cardio and may have started with my calories a little too low.
After the diet I started taking some harder science courses which messed with consistency. So between a bad diet, classes, and life I lost some muscle. Recently I just tried to cut down until about my abs were showing and then I was going to bulk up. I did get fairly cut, but not to the point of seeing abs though. Bad thing now is that I’m 140 lbs. I probably look heavier, which most likely isn’t that hard to do at 140, but 140 is very light.
This gets me to the main point of the thread which is I was thinking about doing a prohormone cycle but read that testosterone is just much better than any prohormone. I trying to stay objective and consider the reasons and repercussions for getting into steroids, thus why I even created this topic. I would say my reason is that I want to get back to where I was before and possible exceed that. I feel like I’m getting older and I want to start having some muscle again. Another reason, that is probably a pretty stupid one, is that I don’t have a lot of free time due to engineering courses and I was thinking it might be easier to get girls with more muscle.
Being 140 lbs and about 25 lbs away from my peak makes me think maybe a cycle isn’t a good idea. But like I said I feel like I’m getting older and I want to get my muscle and strength back fairly quick. I’m also thinking about a cycle now because I’ll have more free time in the summer than during a semester. I don’t want to have to deal with hormonal changes when I have a bunch of deadlines and assignments. I have been consistent the last several months with eating and getting to the gym so I don't think that will be an issue.
Sorry if this got long. I would appreciate anybody’s thoughts or maybe similar experiences. Thanks.
