Hello everyone. Im excited to be apart of this forum and learn as much as I can about the world of anabolics. Im from the US 27 years old 6’0 230lbs sitting at about 19 percent body fat been training mostly consistently for about 2.5 years. Im making good progress as a natural and have made weekly progress by staying consistent with diet, training and sleep so Im not looking to rush into a cycle right away but I know in the next 2 years Ill most likely be ready. Ill most likely want to start of at 300mg of test a week for 12 weeks just to see how I do but Im just looking to gain as much information as I can from here in the meantime before starting.

Hey man!

Welcome to the board. Glad to have you here.

I’ll give you a small piece of bad news (which I found out the first time I did a DEXA myself), but you are likely quite far off from 19% body fat. 19% at 6’0” and 230 would have your FFMI at 25.32, which is considered functionally impossible (by quite a lot) as a natural. For reference: FFMI Calculator

So you’re most likely to 25+%. If you’ve done one of those body impedance scores they wildly underestimate body fat as well.

Don’t mean to sound like a dick, just letting you know it probably makes sense to get a DEXA and see where you’re at, possibly go on a cut for a bit to lose a little fluff before pushing back up the weight some more.

Once again, glad to have you here.

I’ll eat my shit a little bit here - Was thinking 26 FFMI not 25. Point still ~mostly~ stands but possibly not as far off as I made it sound.

Hey man. Yeah I see what your saying and your probably right about me being closer to about 25% body fat. I definitely don't think im above 25 percent but Im a bit lankier so maybe my frame creates the illusion of a lower body fat percentage. I was honestly just going by the body fat percentage pictures posted on google.
