hey man, i'm 5lbs. heavier and 1" taller than you and i've come to realize through hanging around here a bit and reading alot of these threads that guys our size can gain a hell of alot more muscle and weight with proper training and diet before we deceide to try and PH's. there's alot of info here that's very valueable and many qualified pepole here giving that advise.....hang out for a little while and get the other aspects of your training in line before jumping the gun w/ PH's. besides you can use the time in between to do much needed research....this stuff is not to be taken lightly.....not saying you are but the more info you got, the better results you'll obtain...:head:
