lifting for 6 months...thats pretty good but i wouldnt start using gear until at least a year. also for the next six months do a lot of research on what you should do for a first cycle and for post cycle therapy......make sure your training, cardio, and diet is on point before you get on too.

Thanks for the advice. Do you have any suggestions on my routine.
After reading I think I might be working to much.

chest,shoulders,triceps twice a week 3 set of 7-11

back,biceps,abs twice a week 3 set of 3-11

After the last set decrease the weight buy 25% the first week 8-10 rep

Second week 25% then decrease buy 25% again. 8-10 rep

I'm seeing gains but slowly. If i wait 6 months to start my first cycle i want to make sure my body is ready... Any more advice would be great

first off I say stay out of possible health troubles and be all you can be wout them! juice I mean. BUT since you live your own life and make your own decicions I´d suggest you to take a little more time before you hit the cycle( and if you want to grow you have to do cycle after cycle over the yrs ...otherwise you´ll shirink back to where you started*).
you won´t max out on natural training in one year that´s a fact. this might sound rude , but it would be better to train a few YRS before allowing the magical "supplementation " to take place. IMO if you start juicing from the very start almost a´ll of your gains will come from bottle / needle ( and training ofcourse + eating & resting ). Believe I´ve seen my share of guys who double their size in half a year and after they stop gearing shrink back to th eoriginak pencilnecks they once were.....I believe your gains will last longer if you do what ýou can naturally and develop a solid body / mass and THEN do the thing w needles . at least you won´t end up being a pencil neck in few short months if cycling has to be halted for any reason.
so do what you do , but take in a few good yrs of mass training before the next step.

* ok this is a bit strong statement , but believe me I´ve seen it happen

good luck bro!
