Hello everyone.
This is the first forum I actually registered on. I registered because I find the topic of steroid use fascinating and find people that are honest about their use unlike fake naturals running around.
I'm 18 and I've been on a 5x5 type routine to build overall strength for half a year now. I've no desire to use steroids at this age obviously, I'm just curious about the cycles etc so when I make the decision to use gear five or ten years from now, I'd be truly well-informed about the risks.
Before weight training I've been doing (and still doing) MMA and Muay Thai. I did a lot of cardio back then, and I was wondering why I still had a fat gut even though I'm 52 kg at 166 cm. I figured that maybe it's because I have low muscle mass but high body fat, putting me into the 'skinny-fat' category, possibly the worst category for building muscle and strength.
Now after six months of weight training I'm at 64 kg. I gained some body fat, no big deal as I'm currently doing a clean bulk and eating a moderate carb, high fat and moderate protein diet.
I mainly do compounds and here is my progress after six months:
SQ: from nothing to 100 kg for 5x5
BP: from nothing to 48 kg for 3x5 (I'm still not sure why my bench is so low, I need help with this)
DL: from nothing to 115 kg (I did my first deload today)
OP: from nothing to 36 kg (Again not my strong point, I need help with this)
Rows: from nothing to 60 kg
The thing I've noticed whilst weight training is that my work mate has been giving me the cold shoulder lately. I don't know why, maybe its because he's jealous or found my new self-confidence aggravating. Needless to say I'm not the one to fight over small things.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I look forward to posting here.
