New Cycle means for New Routine. HELP!
 

My buddy Troy told me about this website and so far I really enjoy all I have gotten from it. I am 21, 155, and about 5'6. I am about to begin a cycle of Hdrol and was looking to out on some solid lean mass over winter. This is my first cycle of anything since I have only stuck to basic supps such as creatine and NO boosters (obv creatine) since I work for GNC. I was wondering if anyone had a good plan for gaining lean mass? 5x5? Or what?

Thanks

If you're 155lb you don't need to be starting a cycle of anything. Just EATTTTT!

im 17 this past year i weighed around 155 and hit a stack of hdrol got up to 180ish and increased my bench 40lbs this stuff is legit but make sure ur eating a lot of food and getting in all the protein you can. this shouldnt be hard since u work at gnc. this will help u get the best outta this stack. hit the gym hard and dont stop but make sure to give the muscles u just worked out at least 48hrs of recovery. ull start seeing some serious gains around week 3 but dont run this stack for more than 4 weeks. also make sure u have a good PCT in line all prohormones are very potent and if u dont take a PCT ull fuck ur liver up , ull get bitch tits and loose ur gains lol so hit that shit.

How did you run ur cycle? I started 50mg then plan on following with 75 for the nxt 4.

You definitely shouldn't be on a cycle of any kind right now. You're 17 and should be focusing on training natural with proper multivitamins. If you're still growing, I'd recommend doing a high volume routine instead of a high weight routine with proper recovery periods. Start off with sets of 8-12 for 5-6 weeks and then take a week off. During these weeks make sure you have a proper diet and rest.

Well, seeing Im 21 and not 17 thats why. Secondly, Ive been taking vitmains, protein (given) and other natural supplements for years since I work for GNC. It was time for me to try something else out. SO far so good too. The other guy was 17...

My apologies, but even so, if you mess around with routines and rest periods that your body responds to, you'll end up seeing results that you're happy with without doping up your body or dishing out hundreds of dollars. It took me 3 1/2 years to find the perfect mix of training/recover/diet and I can consistently gain 5-15% weight in a 5 week period on almost every exercise I do. For example, I was benching 275x5 first week of December and I finished at 315x5 first week of January. Squats and deads were roughly the same percent gains.

It's true. It takes a long time to figure out what works for your body, how to train, how to eat, how to sleep, when to rest, when to deload, etc. I just don't think you'd be doing yoru body justice to, at the very least, figure these things out first and maximize them. THEN if you still feel you need, try a cycle ... with the proper research to implement something that is safe and with the correct PCT.

For the record, I am all natural. Up to 195lb and still gaining. I've had a lot of set backs but I seem to be pushing through now. Check out my journal if you want. I've come a long way since I started. My journal goes back to 2007 I think?
