New cycle advice.

[428scj]

I am 48, 6ft, 185lbs, not sure of body fat as I am still traveling home from Iraq but I am guessing it is in the 12% range. One cycle under my belt of Var/Tbol that I absolutely loved. I am starting PCT tomorrow and while I wait during my off time, I wanted to research my next cycle.

I am trying to build on my last cycle and do the same type of thing except with injectables. I am looking for large, strong, lean looking muscle (not bulk) and not alot of weight gain. I want defined, ripped muscle with alot of strength and dry.
I was looking at this cycle and wanted some input on it. Does this look like something that would give me what I am looking for? I was wondering about replacing the Bold 200 with Primo....thoughts?

Length: 10 weeks

Layout:
Weeks 1-10 250 mg Test Cyp 250 (.5ml every third day with Bold)
Weeks 1-10 400 mg Bold 200 (1ml every third day with Test Cyp)
Weeks 3-10 40 mg Anavar per day
Weeks 1-10 .5 mg Anastrozole per day

I feel Test would most definitely benefit a guy your age, but nutrition alone could also get you to your desired goals.

After your PCT is finished, get some blood work done to see where you stand. If you decide to go for it, I strongly recommend Test only. See how your body reacts to the Test. Your first injectable should not contain more than 2 compounds.

[428scj]

Yes, PCT then bloodwork is the plan before I do anything else.

I am definetly going for it. Just going to make sure what I use, is going to give me what I want. I am NOT looking to get huge. I like just what the Var/Tbol did for me. My strength, size, and the cuts were perfect. Can I do this with Test alone? I only have two injectables in that cycle. If I swapped out the Bold for Primo, would that be a better option for me in reaching my goals?

BTW, I have been lifting my whole life and nutrition and exercise would never have gotten me to where the Var/Tbol did.

Thanks for the reply.

It isn't needed IMO. Testosterone on it's own will suffice. You can bulk/cut to almost any degree with Test alone as long as you have the right diet in check.

[428scj]

Very good.

Does that mean both a long or short ester Test would work? Or something like Prop for instance, for a leaner, harder, look? Could it be done on Cyp as well?

I ask because I will be heading back over to Afghanistan by the time my PCT and waiting period is over and the fewer times I need to pin over there the better. It GREATLY reduces the risk of infections which are very prevalent over there due to the living conditions.

[HawaiianPride.]

Yes it can be done with Cyp. And considering the circumstances you'll be faced with, less pinning would be more ideal.

[428scj]

Very good, thanks for the prompt reply. I was just throwing out the Cyp as an example. With what I am after and what I have said about my living conditioins, what Test would you recommend as best?

I will drop the Bold and use the Test you recommend with the Var and have some HCG on hand as well. I will also run the Anastrozole, if needed and have several other AI's on hand, if needed; along with a good PCT.

[HawaiianPride.]

Since you opting for less frequent pins, Enanthate or Cypionate will work. Anastrozole will be enough in terms of AI's, no need for any other types.

I'm 50, 5'11", 190lbs. Almost the same size as you. I did a Var and 150mg/wk of Test cycle for 7 weeks and I loved the results. Very dry lean look. If you're planning on a Test Cycle I agree with HawaiianPride. Stick with a long ester like Test E. You don't have to do 500mg/wk. You can stay at about 300mg/wk and if you add your var in your cycle I would think you'll get great results. Stay safe in A. bro.

[428scj]

Thanks to both of you. Real world is what I want to read. I am going to run the E I guess, as I can get some human grade. I am definetly running var with all my cycles. I just love that shit!

Going into my second week of Test E at 500mg and then going to finish up with 100mg Var ED for the last month. I have seen some water weight size and smoothness as a result, but no other sides whatsoever. I scored some HG Test E and the pinning is NOT an issue. I have had no problems with anything on this cycle as of yet.

I am alternating quads with a .23 pin and 250mg on Wed and Sat. I did front load the first week with 750 mg. Very easy and smooth. I am also feeling better (kind of like feeling younger) I believe my strength is starting to come up a bit (possibly in my head...not sure), as is my libido. I have also noticed no desire for cardio....lol. Strange for me, as I tend to love that after my lifting.

I have a feeling, based on how I am feeling and what I am slowly starting to see that Test E with either Primo, Var, Eq or Mast is going to be a kick ass cycle for what I am looking for (solid, hard muscle with some vascularity and good size). The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together for me as I go through this cycle.

Thanks for the help Hawaiian Pride. You are right on the money on this Test E.

Just a quick update. I started this in December and am having great results. I have not watched my diet very well, unfortunately and have ballooned up to 218 lbs from my starting weight of 193 lbs. I could have easily put on more weight but am trying to keep it lean and as much muscle as possible. The strength, recovery, general well being is so much better than on my Var/Tbol cycle. For instance, my incline bench has gone from finishing my workout with 1 to maybe 2 reps at 225lbs to 1 to maybe 2 reps at 280lbs. I feel great afterwards as well. I know I could work out more but am fighting that urge to overwork.

Every movement has gone up in strength quite a bit. My size has gone up significantly as well and everyone in the gym, at home, and at work has noticed it. I am really digging the Test E/Var cycle. I think my next one will be Test E/Primo and keep it all injectable.

Thanks again to those who helped me out with this cycle. It is truly amazing me.
