Best steroid for skinny guy

Is there a specific 5x5 you would recommend? I need to work on my chest, core, and legs really bad. But I want my arms/shoulders/back to also get bigger!

Here's a good 5x5:

Code:

I would recommend this one over other 5x5's like stronglifts etc) for a couple of reasons:
  • Lots of rowing (3x a week)
  • Plenty of additional volume for arms and shoulders
A lot of 5x5's don't have anything in them outside of the compounds. Even though those should be your main priority, I think almost everyone will benefit from additional arm and shoulder isolation, and this routine has plenty of it.
 
Also practice good form and start light. Your only going to hurt yourself going to heavy at first (tore my chest, bicep and forever messed up my shoulder because I let my ego get the best of me)

This is only 3 times a week, I thought you said I should workout 6 times a week?

The Upper/Lower split I posted earlier was 6x a week, but its really no difference since every muscle ends up getting hit 3x a week on either routine.

I wouldn't concern yourself too much with the time off. Its actually important in order to let your CNS recover so you can continually progressive overload on a fullbody / 5x5. The most important things imo are frequency, progressive overload, and weekly volume, and that routine has all 3 of those things covered PERFECTLY.

Awesome, thank you again! I'm definitely going to try this out!
 
If I may give you a little help on putting on weight via food..

I figured out my TDEE (totally daily energy expended) on iifym.com. They have a free calculator. Then took that calorie number and added 500.

I track all this in myfitnesspal (myfitnesspal.com) and when I started I was amazed at how few calories I was eating. Meals I thought were 700+ calories came in at 300. There's a mobile app that let's you scan barcodes so you don't have to enter all the numbers manually, but it's well worth the pain in the ass for a week to track your eating. It's also tracks your macros.

I just added Oregonstrongs shake to my day, it's almost 1000 calories, because I struggle to eat all the calories required too

Do the above and figure out what you need to be eating calorie wise and track it. That's step 1.

Don't be afraid to jump right in and ask questions, a lot of questions. Most of the guys around here are MORE than willing to help a guy out.
 
I have been using both the last 2 months, but I see me getting fatter in the stomach areas and not building enough muscle.
I will say this one time "2 months"! You can't base shit off of 2 months of training. If you don't mind telling, what program are you using for this 5 day a week schedule? If you are gaining fat in the gut and no muscle mass it is your diet that needs help or your training program isn't intense enough. Don't go looking for "Jay Cutler training program" this early in the game. Try finding a good beginner program that focuses more on full body for the first few months. Steroids shouldn't even be on your radar yet buddy.
 
Just do basic cycle test and deca or test and eq something simple if its your first cycle 500 mg test 400 mg deca a week do like a 12 to 16 week cycle then pct good luck.
 
I was a hard gainer for a very long time, as I've been getting older the weight had been easier to put on. Did I read you were 18? I believe you have to learn what type of training works for you. Everyone has some killer workouts mentioned. I did some time in prison are ate shit food but learned a specific training regime tht worked and been running with it ever since...(for the most part) a first good cycle is a test only cycle, I hear a lot of guys run test,deca,dbol. I just found npp and have found it is helping me pack on the lbs. either way good luck and lots of great info for you to choose from here!
