What do you think of this ppl x2 training for the first cycle?

You will still gain strength doing what I have above. There is this broscience belief that strength is built only with less than 8 reps. A lot of guys want to do 5/3/1 and just max out--and that's fine. But you can build strength doing high rep exercises too.

Check out the Average to Savage 2.0 templates. It's nice because they have oth strength and hypertrophy templates and it costs 5 bucks. Or you could try nSuns. It'll help you build some good strength.

If nothing else, know this: if you do gear too early in your lifting career, your strength shoots up too fast. When that happens you are at a much higher risk of injuring yourself via strains or sprains or even downright tearing a muscle/tendon. It is really awful when you see that happen.

When you hop on gear and your bench goes up 30 kg in 8 weeks because your starting weight was low, your muscle may be able to handle it for a while, but your tendons and connective tissue simply can't. Sometimes the muscle can't either. People tear their shit all the time because of this sort of thing. That's why building the base is SO, SO important.

Basically, at that level I would strongly advise you not to use gear yet at all. If you are hypogonadal and need TRT that is one thing--get on TRT. But don't blast at all. It just isn't really worth it. Build your base first--both in terms of strength and form and lifts as well as diet. Otherwise you are simply risking injury and doing unnecessary damage to your body.
100% agree with all of this.

-Being strong requires strength in ALL rep ranges. Coming from a powerlifter, I train from singles up to 30 reps. The same can also be said about hypertrophy—it doesn’t stop at 12 reps...15, 20, 30, etc.

-This dude is way too new to start a cycle. Agreed. I was in these forums for 4 years before I started my first cycle. People completely underestimate base building and how important it is...Tendons need to grow and adapt...Starting a cycle when you can bench 275-300+ naturally will benefit you so so so much more than starting a cycle when you can barely press 2 plates.

Great advice
I have so many fucking injuries from my first blast at 17 years old
On the coach to eating Adrol like smarties and hitting heavy 1RMs within weeks.
