Older (34) Beginner, any advice?

**jonsli** · 05-08-2007, 10:09 AM

I am currently 6'0" 185 lbs. Have been primarily doing cardio for the last ten years and have been lifting seriously for the last year. I have slimmed down from 220 and 23% BF to my current weight and 14% BF.

I am looking for a cycle that will primarily be a cutting with some mild to medium size gains. I have looked a var and winny for cutting but would they be enough on their own? What about PCT? Would also like to hear from anyone who has experience starting out in their 30s.

Thanks

I'm 30 and beginning week 2 of my first cycle. I'll be posting up info, questions, and pics as I go along... 34 is a great age to start a cycle IMO. You're mature enough to keep a handle on it and use it to augment your gains instead of being the source of all of them

Cutting all ***ends on your diet, not drugs. A good first cycle for you would be 250mg-400mg of testosterone per week for 12 weeks. You are 34 so your testosterone levels are naturally declining due to age. Get a little synthetic test in you and you will feel like you are 18 again. I'm not going to get into why you should not run var and winny alone, you can go research that on your own. Stick with some test and you will do great. Use 200 ius of HCG 3 times a week through out your cycle. You should not have any estrogen related problems at such a low dose, but have an AI on hand just in case. for PCT: 20 mgs of nolvadex , 500ius of HCG, and a normal dose of an AI for weeks 1-3 weeks 4-6 20 mgs nolvadex, and a normal dose of an AI. I prefer Arimidex 1mg. Read up and do a ton of research. I would suggest getting your testosterone from your family doc or a youth clinic since you meet the age requirements for TRT.

i also started late in life. my first cycle was 500 mg/wk of test for 12 wks, felt like i was in my 20s again. like everybody else says, do ur research, get ur diet in check, get all of ur ancillaries together, and then donate ur body to science. ur gonna have to experiment on urself to find out what works best for u.
