Concern: Not getting strength or size as expected, plus loss of libido

[Old_usmcgrunt]

Bio: 49 y/o male, strength training since late teens, currently do major muscle groups 8-12 sets once/week, fatigue on each set then do another couple of negatives to complete muscle fatigue. Natural test level tested below “recommended range” per my physician back in the spring of 2010, but they will only prescribe cream or low dose injections.

AAS status: Ran 1st cycle of Dbol for 8 weeks with huge weight and strength gains, then PCT for 4 weeks. Then ran 500mg Test E per week clean during an 8 week on/2 week off “Slingshot Cycle” per Ronnie Rowland, resulting in decent gains plus very good sex drive (especially for my old ass). Currently 5 weeks into another cycle with twice per week injections of 500mg Test E and 400mg EQ, and 1/4mg Dex ED. I get 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per my body weight every day. Strangely, I have no obvious side effects that I can tell other than scrotum shrinkage (which I expected like before), but no mild acne (like I had before). I feel good, but it’s like I’m plateaued already and I miss the sex drive from my clean cycle! Using AAS I expected to break through my plateaus like a mad man…especially at first.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be highly appreciated!

8 weeks of dbol solely? How much of those gains did you keep?

[Old_usmcgrunt]

Surprisingly more than I had anticipated. I followed an agressive PCT. Lost water of course and its bulky look, but kept my strength gains. I actually only did the dbol just to see how my body reacted to it before stepping it up to test.

How long do you plan to run the cycle?

There's a lot of factors: diet, rest, training (maybe time to change training style), nutrition.

Also you're only 5 weeks in, in the next 2 weeks, I'm sure you'll be killing in the gym.

If your test levels are naturally low, you'd do well to go see an other doc.

Do you just PCT after your cycles? How do you feel?

Semper Fi.

^^^What he said! LOL
Especially, the fact that Enth can sometimes take up to 6wks to fully kick in..."Also you're only 5 weeks in, in the next 2 weeks, I'm sure you'll be killing in the gym."

800mg of EQ a wk (not to mention 1gm of test) for your 3rd cycle? reduce the EQ to 400mg/wk; get your progesterin in ck bro; l-dex edit, marcus

[Old_usmcgrunt]

I probably didn't write that very clear at the beginning. Weekly, I do 500mg test-e and 400mg EQ, but split it up and stick Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.

800mg of EQ a wk (not to mention 1gm of test) for your 3rd cycle? reduce the EQ to 400mg/wk; get your progesterin in ck bro; l-dex and i highly recommend you try xxxxxxxxxxx - stuff works wonders...
