Hello, everyone and thank you for the warm welcome. To answer the questions. 1) Am I too green for my first cycle? That all depends on your perspective. A lot of people would argue yes and they are probably right and I appreciate the concern. I should mention I'm 29 years old and am doing this as a reward to myself for a years worth of hard work. I will be explaining my whole philosophy on why I decided to take this journey in my official first cycle thread which I am going to write up and post after I post this. 2) I am not afraid to pin. I do have an mild phobia of syringes but I'm sure I could get over that as I have with many other fears in my life. I'm doing var only because it's mild and I've only been lifting for a year. When I got into lifting the issue of anabolics immediately came to the forefront as they are predominant in the culture. I promised myself if I ever decided to take this journey, I would limit myself to one cycle after every year of training. And I would discontinue usage after reaching the age of 35. If all goes well with my first cycle, I would mostly likely run a test/var cycle next summer, and I don't really see myself diving into things like tren but another 3-4 years down the line, who knows? I will go into greater detail on my philosophy in my cycle thread. Once again thanks everyone and please don't hesitate to comment/criticize anything I say or am doing. Obviously I can't really talk about this stuff in my everyday life so having the support/opinions of others is greatly appreciated.
