Dude you cant have a college degree because anyone with a half decent degree could get everything you are talking about with a few weeks of research.
Anyway I call BS, there is nobody on this board who researched for a year before doing a cycle. Probably 80% of the steroid users get no information other than from a few dudes at the gym and they do fine. The educated few that spend some time on boards like these spend nowhere near a year.
Who the f*ck are you *sshole? I have a BBA from The University of Cincinnati, not that it matters AT ALL. Education does not equal intelligence and only an arrogant d*ckhead would think otherwise.
But I'm no chemist and never took any chemistry class beyond high school. Therefore, yeah, it took me and probably many others awhile to really get more than the basics. Do a search on PCT and see how many different methods and recommendations you can read about. Other than the inclusion of a SERM, which some people also debate, there are a number of things that experienced users argue about, including timing and duration. So somebody who's starting from scratch is going to figure that all out in a couple weeks? That's not realistic.
That's not even taking into account that people's bodies respond differently to all kinds of substances. Say for instance that somebody decides they're going to include a test booster with their SERM for PCT. OK, which one? MFX? Activate? Activate Extreme? How do they know which works best for them? A typical recommendation is that a new person buy a test booster and/or AI and run through a "cycle" to see how it goes. That might be a 1 month committment right there. Then maybe the person didn't like the way one of the products worked or felt. Then they have to pick a different one to try out.
So it really should take months for a person to plan out their first cycle. Unless you just recommend that a newbie rip off a cycle plan that they saw logged on AM and hope for the best.
Now THAT is stupid. Maybe YOU picked up on things quickly, but a supposedly educated person should realize that everyone is different and that a guideline is just that.
