Hi Everyone.
I would like to get some advice. I’m 42 yrs old and I’m considering going on a cycle or TRT for the first time. The reason being is that I’m starting to feel my age creep up on me. I’m in pretty good shape for my age (5’11” ,170-175lbs, 14% BF – should be 10% BF but can’t get rid of the belly fat) and look 10 years younger but internally is not what my appearance is suggestion. My body is taking too long to recover (tendonitis one month then rotator cuff pain the next then lower back pain, etc.). After every workout I’m achy all over especially after a heavy lift days. Not to mention the libido is not what it used to be.
I would have not even considered steroids but a few gym buddies that are around my age swear by them and they claim to feel 20 yrs younger. Also I'm having a hard time putting on mass anymore. I did a mass program this past winter and put on 20lbs in 6mths but it was 10x harder than it was when I was 30 yrs old. Plus I lost at least 10lbs of those gains within 2 months. That's not bad but now my body is aching due to the stress of the heavy weights.
Overall my diet is very good. I workout 3x a week on weights (at least one week full rest for each muscle group) and cardio 2-3x a week with the occasional yoga class.
I’ve done some research and I have some questions but here’s what I was thinking.
Option 1:
Week 1: Dbol 2 x 5mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 2: Dbol 3 x 5mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 3: Dbol 4 x 5mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 4-5: Dbol 5 x 5mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 6: Dbol 4 x 5mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 7: Dbol 3 x 5mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 8: Dbol 2 x 5mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Other Daily Supplements: Lipid Stabil (3 caps), EFA (3caps), Liv 52 (5-6 caps)
Option 2:
Week 1-2: Test C 200mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 3-4: Test C 250mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 5-6: Test C 300mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Week 7-8: Test C 350mg daily, Novaldex/Tamoxifen 1 x 10-20mg daily
Other Daily Supplements: Lipid Stabil (3 caps), EFA (3caps), Liv 52 (5-6 caps)
Option 3: TRT
Week 1: Test C 250mg weekly, 3 x 40mg Andriol daily
Week 2: Test C 250mg weekly, 4 x 40mg Andriol daily
Week 3-6: Test C 250mg weekly, 6 x 40mg Andriol daily
Week 7: Test C 250mg weekly, 4 x 40mg Andriol daily
Week 8: Test C 250mg weekly, 3 x 40mg Andriol daily
Questions:
1. Which option would you suggest for me? Any alternatives would be welcomed
2. What sort of PCT would you recommend.? (ie, HCG starting week 7 at 2500Ui daily)
3. Should I do less weeks? (ie, 5 or 6 weeks)
4. Would you recommend HGH during option 3?
Concerns:
1. Starting to see thinning of my hair. Will steroids speed this up? If so, is there is way around it.
2. Can I just do a cycle or two or is this a lifetime commitment once I start?
Goals:
1. Gain about 10 lbs of lean muscle (approx. 180-185lbs) and be 10% BF like I used to be 10-20 yrs ago.
2. Not feel the aches and pain during recovery.
3. Have good energy during workouts.
4. Increase libido.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
UPDATED:
Based on the suggestions and posts this forum here's what I believe I will be doing for my first cycle but I have questions about the details.
Week 1-12: Test c or e at 500mg (2 x 250mg; M and Th); AI (Aromasin or Adex at .25ml or .5ml EOD); HCG at 1000Ui daily
PCT: starting 14day after last injections, Novaldex/Clomid at 100mg/20mg for 6 weeks; HCG 500Ui daily for 3 weeks; AI .25ml daily for 5 weeks; Vit E 1000Ui daily for 3 weeks.
1. Are the values I have above correct in terms of mg's, ml's and Ui's?
2. When should I be injecting HCG? Day before test injection or day of?
3. Test C or E, is one recommended over the other?
Please let me know if there are any adjustment I should make before I get started.
Thank you.
