Yo, i have a few newb questions
I have been training for the past 6 years. I am 18 years old. I have a very intence work out monday-friday, according to a very specific workout cycle of periodization. I am very lean, 168 lbs. I have alot of muscle and very little percentage of bodyfat (in the low single digits) I look good, but i dont do much body building, with an exception of alot of auxilery with arms, and occasionaly chest. But for the most part i train for olympic lifting. I have never taken any type of AAS befor. I have a few questions about some test.
1. If I am taking one cycle of test prop. Will I loose all of the mass that i gain soon after the cycle?
2. Is it possible to maintain all that i have gained, and still increase my strength (at a slower rate of coarse) directly after the cycle?
3. How does Test affect your sexual drive durring the cycle? does it make you hornier? How much would my testosterone drop after one cycle, considering my age?

Do yourself a favor and don't do AAS.

I refuse to answer such basic questions, do your homework.

I don't mean to come off as an ass, but you need to take an active role in your AAS education. Its for your own good, trust me.

Well i am glad you are asking these questions before getting too involved. First of all i am going to say you are too young to be getting into AAS. 18 you are still at your peak as far as musscle building potential goes. It is best to utilize that before getting into AAS or PH of any type.

What does your current routine look like... maybe we can help you adjust it to get the most gains possible with other supplementation. Have you ever or currently been taking any supplements? Pre-workout, intra, post? Creatine? Protein? Anything really.

Answer to Q1: THe simple answer without all things considered is YES POSSIBLY. There are things you need to consider like PCT (post cycle therapy) which is used to minimize the loss of gains. There are plenty of threads to read here so explore the definition of PCT and what it consists of. So basically it depends on PCT, diet, and routine post cycle

Answer to Q2: Yes, the ultimate goal is to maintain all mass and continue to grow but like I said before... very dependent on PCT

Answer to Q3: Your sex drive should be high while on cycle but that is dependent upon estorgen levels etc. while on cycle. Post cycle (depending on cycle length) testosterone levels will be very low but that is what PCT is for (please really read up on this term if you are not farmiliar with it)

Bottom line is you are too young to mess with AAS... your body has so much natural potential you need to tap into while you can

Hey,

I too recently flip over to the other side. My rec. is that you do some more research before deciding to do AAS. At 18, you will not be the youngest person to take AAS, as Arnold was probably 13 when he started to pop d-bols. However, you can get seriously hurt if you do not have the knowledge. Do yourself a favor and spend 2 months to research cycles in general. Pick up some good books on the subject, ask questions, but not such broad questions like "where should I buy", and once you've completed this research, you will be able to make a wise decision. I would continue to grow a bit more, until you get to 180 at least, then do it.

Good luck, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

good post Italian... good advice and good point

How much you gain and how much you keep is all dependent on your training and eating. Running a strong PCT doesn't guarantee you will keep gains. Just like AAS doesn't magically pack on mass, PCT doesn't magically enable you to keep it.

Slacking off is the biggest mistake most people that take AAS make. You have to put MORE effort while on AAS.
