Good First time question

[Mayhem99]

Hi..I'm 5'9"..260lbs and its not muscle..I'm stocky..I have broad shoulders (and waist) I'm 36 years old. I used to weigh 145lbs when I grad in 1988..I didnt workout much then and have not really worked out much all together..My question is I have started to lift about (2 months). I am working out m-w-f and doing cardio t-th-sat. I do ch/tri, ba/bi/, sh/l usually 3 x8-10, cardio is plain old walk/run 20-30 min. I am also gonna start a martial art 2 x week for added cardio..My diet is 3 meals..2 snacks. prot. after workout. Ok I have the opportunity to get a 10 week cycle of decca. I know I havent worked out that long and my goal is to loose body fat gain muscle .. get back in the shape I was in (plus more muscle).but my question is, If I do get it How should I workout/diet/cardio...I am looking for detailed info if anyone wants to share it. Any help or info would really be great. Thanks.

Do these things before you do your first cycle:
1) Learn and practice eating right/nutrition
2) Lear how to maximize your workouts - you're still just getting back into the swing of things.
3) Use test as the base NOT deca.

Thanks for the info!

My diet is pretty much gonna be a Pro-low gly carb-veg for 2 meals..dinner pro-veg. no carbs after 8pm..also a mid morn pro and a afternoon pro (like a shake or bar)..right after workout protien-carb shake (should I use creatine or glut. along with this?) also pro before bed. I am taking a vit/min/fishoil tab. I am keeping my portions small..drinking ALOT of water. 1 day aweek cheat day to kill any cravings. Staying away from all junk.

My workout is M/ ch-tr. W/ba-bi. F/sh-legs-forarms. 3 ex per bodypart 3-4x 8-12 reps. working to "form failure"
Cardio intervial walk-run-sprint at least 4 days a week and hitting the bags/practicing.. training at home (karate/bjj)
also 2-4 days a week I am taking a karate/bjj class

I have the deca now and would like to use it but you (and other posts) say that I should use test as my base...which kind? how much? How long? and when should I start the decca?
I had thought about a 10 week cycle but not sure on the dose amounts
1 test
2test
3test
4test/deca/novadx
5 " '' ''
6 " " "
7 " " "
8 " " "
9 " " "
10 " " "
Is this good?
Like I stated I am new to the gear world and really any help/info of any kind would be awesome....

You can do the test and deca "together," throughout cycle - don't need a ton of test, like 300mg/wk and still be effective for 1st cycle. Have plenty of Nolva on hand, but only use it if nipples become "sensitive" or you end up retaining too much water.

I still say:
1) Get leaner
2) Keep-on/refine your nutrition
3) Stay at working out - try/mix up different routines.

Your goal should be for permanant gains, not short-term. In other words: it's a marathon, not a sprint.

xcel is definitely right. follow his advice. 2 months in you haven't even begun to realize the benefits of your own body's increase in test from working out. Not to mention that you may get some bloat which may make you wonder whether you're losing or gaining weight from the gear. You need to get your diet tightened down big time. You weigh a lot for a 5'9 guy (I'm the same height). Believe me, I've been there. This will take some time but it is certainly worth your effort. You'll feel like a different person in 6-12 months if you diet and exercise right. Plenty of time to worry about gear later. You need to lose bulk, not gain bulk! And there are no safe weight loss agents for beginners unfortunately.

I hope that he is going to listen to you guys. He is doing a very good job diet and training wise, but he needs to understand that he still has some fat to lose. Now, a person with extra bodyfat taking test., if he develops gyno it will look much worse due to the extra fat/water. He should continue with the same routine for an extra year.
