Great video, give it a watch
Ok.... I am gonna suggest you keep a log book while in the gym. This is really the only way you will see if you are progressing. Muscle growth is an adaptation to stress. If you stay in your comfort zone all the time ( NOT saying you are), the body will too. With a log book it is easy to go back and see things.
I also suggest you keep track of gear pinning and how you are feeling. Again, it is to easy to forget things from week to week.
Diet.... Make sure to get enough protein. Again keeping track of your macro nutrients is another good idea. This way you can see if higher carb, higher fat, or what ever is working for your body type.
The gear.... my suggestion, try a test only cycle. yes, 500 mgs a week is a cycle. When are ready, add one compound at a time. If you add multiple and shit goes wrong, you will have no idea what is the underlying cause.
Again, i can't stress the importance of blood work enough. Your blood work will most likely be somewhat skewed while on, but it shouldn't be completely fucked, IMO. Over the counter supps are definitely your best friend while running things. Do your homework, and like ya been doing, ask questions.
I use an app on my phone for a log of my workouts. It keeps a log of everything, its actually pretty awesome. I REALLY need to start doing the same thing for my diet as well. My diet gets tricky to manage sometimes. I work in the arctic circle half the year and am not responsible for making my own food. It is all prepared for us. (I know, woe is me) I try to eat as healthy as i can while here but it gets hard sometimes. I do what I can.
