Thanks to the MG community and the incredible support found herein, I am better prepared for an upcoming cycle. The key word here is 'prepared,' it is in the months prior to embarking on a cycle, which really is a journey of sorts, where the cycle truly begins.
One must research the compounds they wish to use based on the desired result. In doing so, he or she must use a variety of sources, e.g., forums such as our own, science journals like ones some members often post, and any anecdotal evidence from experienced users. The compound(s) must match the goal, and should be chosen such that the least amount of risk is taken concerning ones overall future health. As a general rule, have your cycle support in hand before you pin! You never know whether something or other wil get lost in the mail,or god forbid, get seized. Know whether you will take the pct route, cruise, or continue TRT. Plan accordingly.
Next, we need to have a dietary plan, for, the diet really governs the end result. Because one will have to eat 6-8 times per day, it is best, for the sake of efficiency and success, to know well before hand what ones total caloric intake must be, and what foods will be required to meet the caloric goal based on macro ratios. Once we have that nailed down, create a menu, and stick to that. Ideally, meal prep should be made as easy as possible so you don't fall off the wagon. Eating clean is the only way tp go in my opinion, and having an instantiated plan is paramount to success
Next, he or she must have a training plan sketched out. Begin training in this manner BEFORE you begin you cycle in order to prepare your mind and body for the scheduled rigor to come.
We have to consider our family life, friendships, and work commitments since most of us are not sponsored professional athletes. Tailor your training such that there is a balance between gym life and life in general. Let your loved ones know what you're up to (you don't have to mention AAS) so they can prepare for seeing less of you. Get them involved somehow, and keep them informed on your progress. People are positively effected by our excitement concerning our lifestyle, and be sure to listen to them when they talk about their successes as well. I know that i get a bit more self involved on AAS. Remember, it's likely you may become a bit moody, so please practice self-awareness, thus keeping the moodiness for the gym, and leave it in your locker till next time. I feel we have a duty to disspell the crap media tells the public, namely, the whole roid rage thing. I've yet to experience it myself...
Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance!
gotta have a foundation before the house gets built, or rather, one must draw up some blueprints before a house can be properly constructed...there's a million analogies, but prep is paramount
