rizzo,
I would definitely listen to these gentlemen and do some research. As a matter of fact, I did just that... I'm 32 and am still going to take a year or two to educate myself before trying my first cycle... if I ever do. I'm still making strength and size gains so I don't see the need right now. The gentlemen on this site won't bull**** you. If it's wrong, they'll tell you it's wrong. Search key words on the forums and do a lot of reading. And if you can't find an answer, create a new thread so the exstensive knowledge and experience that exists here can help you out.
