Whats something you wished you knew before your first cycle?

[RockyP]

I’ve learned that trying to change people’s minds about things like this is futile (nobody was going to change my mind when I decided to start that’s for sure).

The best advice I’d give my old self prior to starting is this:

1. If you’re spending more time / money on gear than your diet / food prep, you’re doing it wrong

2. Be very aggressive with tracking your bloodwork and health parameters.

3. This one is tough. Be mentally prepared for coming off / cruising. Once you have everything else dialed in (training, diet, rest, etc.) you realize that the gear is in fact just the icing on the cake. It’s not the main event. But that took me many years to get to. And until you reach that point you’ll end up doing stupid shit like running dosages too high for too long, cutting short your cruises, using way too much shit, etc. everyone comes off / cruises. Everyone. And there’s good reason for it. You’ll get the hang of it like all the other aspects of this game. But try to master this sooner than later.

recovery most likely, i was used to sleeping at 2-3 am and waking up at 11am. i only started taking everything more seriously like 3 months ago. training eating and recovery

sorry to say then, you did not get the most out of your first 3 years of training.

You still got a lot of gas in the tank gains wise. And I mean a LOT.
IF you lock in, you will make about as much progress as you have already made in the next 3 years.

This is about where OP stops replying and goes back to tik tok or reddit where they enable and encourage bad decisions. Que sera.

My question, is considering I have little muscle mass according to everyone on here and i still have to lose fat, why cant i hop on a test cycle? the whole problem is my muscle mass why not speed up the process of building muscle while im on reta aswell to burn fat?

the main concern is my recovery, training and diet? hemce why you guys advice against a test cycle?

Your problem is low muscle mass AND high bodyfat percentage. If you were skinny af you could start blasting, not that I recommend it when you‘re so small but realistically nobody is going to stop you. If you start blasting now you will gain muscle but a disproportional amount of fat too because if you look like that after three years of lifting your diet and training is obviously shit.

Imagine yourself with a bit bigger arms (that just look like a sausage with zero details or vascularity) and generally slightly more muscle but at the cost of having red skin from high blood pressure, a bloated fat face, love handles, no abs and potentially even growing tits. I don’t think you want to look like that but that’s what’s going to happen if you start blasting now.

Do at least a year or 2 of consistent training, consistent diet etc. then think about it, if you haven't got things locked in, its a waste of time and money

buuuuut, if you're going to do it anyway, Start with just test, find the dose you can tolerate without sides then go from there

so what if i keep loosing fat with reta? to the point where i have visible abs?

Very relatable advice. I always say the struggle was worth it for the conviction.
