Well, I am thinking about running my first cycle in a couple months or so and looking for a bit of advice. I am 35, 6'3, 240lbs,BF? I could loose a few. Training off and on for about 5 years training steady for the last year1/2 after a couple years off. Right now I am getting my diet together to trim up and crank up the cardio a bit. After that I want to run a cycle about 10weeks long or so I know 500mg week of test e is a popular first cycle. What I am wondering is it at all a good idea to run a lower dose of test and a low dose of deca for a first cycle or will this be too much? Right now I am working through some tendonitis and stuff that I cannot seem to get rid of completetly I have been treating it and it is getting better. I have been told that deca is great for the joints and that is why I would like to throw that in there. I would really hate to have to take a month or so off from training. What do you guys think?
