I'm trying to help a close friend out and I don't want to screw this up. Normally I'd give pretty safe advice like start slow with test, less is more, etc etc. but this guy is unique. I've been around the sport a long time and this kid has what it takes to turn pro.
Background; this guy is 26, 5'7" tall and competes at a hard and grainy 175lbs. He's competed since he was a teenager and has never taken a performance enhancement drug. He's won 2 nod shows naturally. Never went to jr nationals or anything on the national stage bc he was realistic about the completion and wanted to stay natural. He's got a great head on his shoulders and lives every moment of his life for the sport. On top of that, he's basically a genetic freak. You'd never believe he was natural by looking at him on stage.
All that being said, he's come to me saying that he's ready to commit his life to bodybuilding and wants to make a run for a pro card. He's now set on using aas, but he's getting some bs advice and knows that I preach conservative gear use.
I've never known such an ideal candidate to turn pro, and I'm honestly afraid to mess up on someone with so much potential. So I'm asking for advice from some of the veteran guys around here. I know what I want to tell him to do and what not to do, but I want to know what you think. Knowing what you know after a career of competing, what would you tell someone who has accomplished so much naturally about using aas? What type of cycle would you start with? I feel like in this case it's a good idea to start out more aggressively than is advisable for most newbys.
Thanks for your help guys.
