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

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?
