Your t levels are already low. If you start cycling aas at your age… you might never come back to producing your own t and trt is 2 injections per week forever… do the math… annually…decades…10…20…30 years. Buying syringes the actual compound… aggravation.

that…is a very good point. I honestly never thought of that possibility. Maybe if when I retest them my test levels are still low Ill just go the TRT route
@NeuroRN is one of the smartest guys on this site…I promise you that.
I got the same gentle butt kicking… for a different reason but it was the same thing. I listened and probably added every bit of 10 years probably more to my lifespan. That doesn’t mean much to young folks but I’m getting ready to hit 60.
There’s folks on here that are genuinely concerned.
Why don’t you put together a diet plan first…macros like was said above…ask questions. We’ll help.

Couple of afterthoughts
@NeuroRN is a humble guy. He’s going to deny his smartness. Hahaha
Being told “not a good idea” on a cycle is a tough titty to suck on i know. But I wished you could travel forward about 20 years to see the future. Doing this wrong can lead to a lifetime of misery and aggravation

Hahahaha you know me well sir. “Smartness” aside, I do think I know some things, not all of them, less than some, more than some, but what I know… I know. And I know a cycle right now is a bad idea.
BUT. you’re an adult. You get to make adult choices. Things may go perfectly. Congrats. But if they don’t? They really don’t. That’s risk outweighing reward.
If you make the call to do it… like we said earlier. Keep us updated.

Believe me, Im fully taking into consideration everything you guys are telling me on here. Im not deadset on doing it or not doing it yet, more like weighing the options. Could you explain why macros besides protein need to be tracked though?? Im not saying they dont need to be, im just curious as to why. I shouldve mentioned earlier that I do try to include a solid amount of healthy fats into my diet, I just dont track how much.
Also, so the reason I should NOT do the cycle is because I may not be able to recover all the way even with proper PCT? Isnt that a risk you just kind of have to accept when it comes to this stuff, no matter how old you are? And even if I dont recover fully from it, doesnt that just mean ill have to take TRT for life? Again, im not arguing against your points or trying to be a smartass, just trying to fully understand the ins and outs.

That’s a risk. Yes. If you get on test only a year into lifting, I don’t think muscle and tendon strength will match. You’ve only been training a year? This is a marathon. You want a sprint and you want to blame it on genetics as to why you want the sprint.
I don’t believe you’ve put in the effort to maximize your genetics. You have so much left to gain naturally. You have no foundation to build on, I think it would be ill advised to make your base on AAS.
Why all your macros? Bc your macro balance affects health, muscle growth, insulin, sleep, and much more. What’s your over all calorie count? When you want to manipulate that down will you just accept less caloric dense food? Are you eating your carbs around training to maximize output and recovery? All of these things revolve around macros. Not calories.

Have you given yourself an IM Injection yet?
You’re talking to the number one advocate of early TRT. I’m stoked to be 31 and taking test. I get tight control of my most important hormone.
You. Are. Twenty. Two. That’s 936 more injections than I would take over a lifetime. Just train hard. Be disciplined. Ask training and diet questions. Be that crazy mother fucker that out works, trains, diets, and logs anyone you’ve ever known… watch your body Change. After you hit a plateau, after training like like that… then think gear.
Your call. I’m not telling you not to run it again. I’ve said my peace.
