BUCK FAMA
I'm not sure if I read this or am just making this up, but ryan, you said you've been in the gym for a year now, correct?
Not to sound like a douche...but maybe you should try to change your routine before taking anything.
I work out with 2 other guys regularly, both very good friends. One is 5'4", 155 lbs, and recently 1RM benched 230, and 1RM deadlifted 275. He's been working out for approximately a year now. My other friend has been there just as long as him, he's 5'11" about 260lbs, and can 1RM bench 280ish.
I've been back in the gym after a 3 year hiatus for 2 1/2 months, and my 1RM bench is already up to 240. I'm 6'1, and about 240lbs. I've gotten my deadlift up to 315x6, and a 1RM of around 360. Squat is up to 295x6, and 1RM of about 320. Curl is at around 110x6, and that's with some bad wrist tendinitis.
Whatever you want to take is your choice, but my personal belief is that if you need to take something illegal, to enhance your results, then you're just cheating yourself.
I've not really read much of this thread, so if I missed anything that's been touched on already, my fault.
I was thinking the same thing..He is awfully big not to be putting up anymore... And a year in the gym will do a lot for you.
