Newbie on AAS. Please guide

@RT_Nomad there was no implication on my behalf that he’s lying, but the reality is the calculation you’ve done there isn’t particularly relevant to whether this individual should do PEDs, pull-ups significantly benefit lighter individuals, but none of that is relevant I merely stated that seems to be his most noteworthy lift (not to downplay the lift itself, but it doesn’t scream - time to start drugs), it just seems he’s probably more adept to calisthenic work than lifting. Also the assumption he’s 10% seems to fly in the face of this:

We’re both making a lot of assumptions due to inadequate info, but honestly the really telling thing for me is age, weight and height. Yes you started early and it was good for you, but this guy doesn’t want to get overly bulky, he’s frankly small already and that’s at a “bulked” bodyweight and he’s very young, he simply has no need for drugs.

So you’re completely normal? And/or you have no clue how to eat for optimal muscle gains without adding excess fat. I have a new article on how to do that, but you won’t read it, so I won’t bother linking it.

OP, can you post a picture of what you look like without a shirt on?

I have not eliminated that possibility.

Of course. Fat never benefited anyone doing pullups. And for that matter lower body muscle doesn’t help either.

I look at pullups as the upper body squat. I look at pullups as an indicator of potential. I could do 20 pullups and 20 dips before I ever lifted a single weight.

It seemed to me that he is determined to use AAS. I just gave him a sample of how I started using AAS. I would call it pretty conservative.

If he is more than 10% body fat, the 16 reps with 44.1 additional pounds is even more impressive.

This is silly talk. No one interested in taking the risk of using AAS, doesn’t want to get huge. That is just a conservative position to fall back on when you cannot get massive.

The pic of what OP wants to look like is one massive man by walking around standards. I’d say OP just doesn’t want to look fat. He is all for massive muscle.

This thread is fun…on one side you have some people actually trying to help the OP-who is either a troll or really, really dumb. On the other, you have guys like Andrew, etc. who actually see this OP for what he is, a lying idiot who has no business taking adult hormones.

It’s 2024, with all the unlimited information via the internet at the OP’s fingertips you’d think he would just read everything, watch everything related to nutrition, workouts methods, supplements, etc etc yet he has the lazy, sad idea to ask complete strangers to essentially do all the work for him?

I know OP hasn’t posted his pic yet, but I think I’ve found it for him [this is for you Andrew lol]:

I clearly land here.

This got my attention. This is impressive for someone new to weight training.

Do I have doubts as to whether OP can actually do this? Yes
Do I suspect, if he can do 16 reps with a 45lb plate, that OP’s range of motion is extremely shortened? Yes.

I would like to see a video, as would everyone else who has looked at this thread.

I don’t fault him with wanting to ask questions where he can get feedback. It has been my experience that there are no articles that I have ever read about bodybuilding where I didn’t have questions. No one seems to ever cover all the bases. (Most questions concern “opportunity” windows.)

OP is 21 years old, so he doesn’t have enough age to have a lot of experience. My expectation for his knowledge is quite low.

One of the biggest problems for helping OP is that he has given us very little information about himself, that we would clearly see if we watched him lift in the gym. This is how I had always determined who I would help and who I would ignore. OP could very likely be a person that I would ignore. I know it sounds cold and selfish, but I always looked for people that I thought had potential to excel, and sought to help them.

Wow!! Where did you get that. You are such a smart guy…
I like that

Where did I get that? Well, funny you should ask…I was pretty amazed myself, as I simply googled “guy who weighs a buck fifty who has never touched a weight in his life” and Presto! Your picture came up. I also did do some other searches, like “genius who want to go from having never lifted weights before to making the brilliant decision to run AAS - hoping it will immediately do all the work for him and give him muscles” and again, it was YOU! Or, “I have no knowledge of nutrition or weight training experience, guess what I look like?”

I could easily continue…perhaps forever, but you get the point. If you had even an ounce of self-awareness, you’d have gone back, read what your original post, then been introspective and really been honest with yourself about how many YEARS you’ve spent truly training hard in the gym, with weights (you won’t get muscles, even the pretty little muscles on your dreamboat Wolverine or Thor, without some form of intense resistance training), and you’d maybe look at your diet and really think if you are eating enough calories, the proper sources of carbs, fats, and proteins, and sit back and maybe realize “you know, I haven’t even attempted to train hard and eat right for at least 5 years…steroids won’t magically put muscles on me overnight because I don’t even have a solid muscular base myself”. If you had done this, you would never have come on here with the ridiculous sounding plan to take test and dbol. The fact that you are considering taking dbol, when you want to still stay lean and NOT retain water, showed all of us on here that you haven’t done any real research on your own, and instead you’re simply parroting a couple of drugs you’ve heard about that could maybe make you more muscular. Anyone with even a shred of knowledge knows that dbol is one of the most aromatizing oral steroids out there, and that if you take it you are almost guaranteed to have water retention/bloating to some degree. There are other AAS you could take that would not give you so much water retention, yet you didn’t mention ONE of them. You think I’m picking on YOU in particular, but no, I am not. I simply get so tired of people such as yourself coming on here, asking the same tired questions and then, based upon what all they write in their post, showing all of us that they don’t have a clue about not only AAS, but nutrition, training, etc. If you would simply linger on this site and others, and READ as much as you can, you would learn that it’s one of the first things you learn about AAS: that you DON’T even consider running a cycle unless you have several (5-7+) years of hard, heavy training under your belt, where you’ve also been eating enough calories to grow, where your body has developed good mind muscle connections/movement patterns and you have worked up to moving RESPECTABLE amounts of weights (no one gives a shit about ur weighted pullups, btw) on deadlifts, squats, bench press, rows, etc. Only after you’ve done the above should you consider running a cycle, BUT only after you’ve actually taken the time to read, read, read, read, read and learn as much about individual steroids, different steroid interactions/synergies, side effects, learned about PCT, etc etc. THEN you should seriously be able to consider AAS.

**I gotta say, this new AI is impressive with its ability to generate images based on descriptions, dontcha think? :wink:
