Very glad to see solid information on this post and the forum in general. There is so much more knowledge to be shared these days and it's important for people to read it and know what they are getting themselves into.
In the 80's - I played athletics at a D-1 school where the stuff was readily available. My first cycle was Dbol and Anavar, and then anadrol 50. I pretty much end used everything with no pct and no idea what the hell I was doing. Guys on the team would just say "take this and you'll get big as shit". One oral cycle gave me such intense pain on my left side I had to have an ultrasound of my liver. Thank God - everything turned out ok - but not w/o many months of side effects.
I encourage the young bros out there to read up on this stuff and do what the senior members of this forum and experienced lifters here recommend.
