new to the board, glad to be here:

what's up folks-

newbie here. 25, 6'0', 230lbs @ 28% bf, working on it. currently 1 hour of fasted cardio 5x/week. PPL 2x/week.

2400 kcal- 220p 200c and 70f (bmr ~2000kcal, tdee 2800kcal)

considering a PSMF because I respond well to low-carb dieting/have had success with it in the past.

endomorph. former fatty. lost ~100lbs through diet, and in january 2015 i got serious about lifting.
at my fittest, i was 200lbs, 17%bf.

i've never cycled before but i recently got my hands on some test e (alpha pharma), dbol (dragon pharma, which i'll save for a later cycle,) clomid, adex, aromasin (geneza pharma) and nolva (can't remember the name of the lab)

i know better than to start at my current bf%, so i've been on a cut. i also bought a hormone panel test from privatemdlabs. will schedule the blood draw as i get closer to bf% goals. scheduled some dxa scans on the near future- will line them up with my cycle bloodwork.

i only plan on running test for the first cycle. still researching the differences between adex/aromasin, but will have a better idea once i know what my natural estrogen levels are.

any advice, guidance, or feedback will be welcome and appreciated.

Lots of cardio brother. At 28% bf you should be getting your physicians okay to even begin an exercise program much less begin using performance enhancing drugs.

thanks man. and absolutely- i've read too many horror stories about unmanageable estro at body fat > 15%, so my gear is boxed up in the back of my closet.

as far as doctor clearances go, at my most recent physical in july my pcp told me everything "looks as good as it can" at my current composition, but also recommended that i ramp up the cardio to get myself back to where i was last year.

looking forward to learning as much as i can in the meantime.

We are here to help you and make certain you get it right.Now is time for the hard work. It will be well worth it to you. Get bf% down to 15% before considering a low dose test only cycle. Good luck.
