hey guys im new to the group and just wanted to see what you all think. im 25 and around 240 right now and i been really considering starting a cycle but i honestly dont know where to start or what the best move is. i hit the gym pretty hard and im always moving around but for some reason the weight just wont budge its so frustrating. basically i wanna drop the fat and put on some decent muscle at the same time so if anyone has tips or opinions on what i should do that would be awesome. thanks everyone for the help i really appreciate it!
honestly man at 240 i would focus on the diet before jumping on a cycle. if your weight isnt budging you're probably just eating more than you think. steroids aren't fat burners and if u start a cycle with high body fat you're just gonna get a ton of estrogen side effects like bloat and gyno. try a strict deficit for 3 months first
welcome to the group bro. honestly the best "first cycle" is always just test solo but at 25 and 240lbs you might be better off getting your bloodwork done first to see where your natural levels are at. if your weight is stuck it could be a metabolism thing or just needing to tighten up the macros.
id say hold off on the gear for a bit. steroids are great for building muscle but they can actually be pretty dangerous if you're carrying too much extra weight cuz of the strain on your heart and blood pressure. focus on the cardio and get down to like 210 then think about a cycle. you'll see way better results that way too.
i feel your frustration man i was in the same boat last year. honestly i thought gear was the magic pill to lose the gut but it really just made me "bigger" and more hungry lol. i had to fix my kitchen habits before the gear actually did anything for my physique. just my 2 cents
240 is a big frame! if u really wanna start something maybe just look into a very low dose of test or just keep pushing natural for another year. you're still young and have plenty of natural test to work with. keep grinding in the gym and maybe try tracking your calories to the gram for a few weeks to see why the scale isn't moving.
welcome to the group man! honestly i’d hold off on the cycle for a bit. at 240 you can probably drop a ton of weight just by tweaking your macros and you'll save yourself the side effects for now. keep grinding though!
if you’re hitting it hard but the weight stays the same you might be eating more than you think. try tracking everything for 2 weeks and see what happens. you got this bro!

welcome!! glad u joined. its a marathon not a sprint dude. id say focus on a solid recomp plan first and see how your body reacts before adding anything extra into the mix.
honestly man i wouldnt start a cycle yet. if your body fat is on the higher side the side effects can be way worse. get that base down first then think about it later on.

man i feel you on the weight not budging its the worst feeling. have you checked your thyroid or anything lately? sometimes thats the hidden culprit. id try a stricter cut before jumping on the sauce, just my 2 cents
