You guys ever think there might be too much info on here? I've been reading and reading and searching and searching and I don't know if I'm any closer to an informed and healthy decision.
Me- just turned 40. Many, many years in the gym. 5'7" 190ish - 14%
Full disclosure... This will not be my first cycle. A few years ago under the tutelage of the users at work, I did a Deca/Sus cycle. I don't recall the dosages, but it was Sus EOD and maybe 1mg a week Deca? Think it was Sus 450? Wow. I should know that stuff.
Anyway, I should have known better. They all look like shit and after discovering this place far too late, I realized none of them had any clue as to wtf they were doing. None of them had even heard the term "PCT" and as such I had to scramble for Clomid and Nolvadex in about week 9.
Honestly, the only positive I took away from the whole experience was that I felt like an absolute monster on cycle. I felt like a beast. The rest was crap. I blew up like a ballon, which I understand some of you may enjoy, but my gut was distended like crazy and I just felt entirely too "puffy." "Deca dick" hit me hard (no pun intended), yet my libido was through the roof. So much so that it was affecting my decision making and I came very close to infedelity. Even though I probably couldn't have performed if I tried. That was a serious mental struggle that I was entirely unprepared for. The back and shoulder acne started around week 10 and that was total BS. Disgusting. And it stayed well after PCT. It also took me 6 months or so to get back to normal in the bedroom.
Maybe 5lbs and a hearty disdain for sides was 100% not worth all that I went through.
With that out of the way, I want to do it right this time around (if I decide to go through with it). I'm looking for a simple, single compound cycle that would basically be a time machine for me. I want to jump back to what it was like working out in my early 20's. When BF melted of I even looked at a treadmill and lean muscle was free. From my reading this seems to indicate a Test only cycle. Although Anavar seems like it would be perfect if there wasn't so many dissenting opinions about it.
I much prefer Captain America to the Hulk, if you catch my drift. I don't want to be gigantic. I don't need 30lbs. I can't eat enough to supply those kinds of gains anyway. Best I could do is maybe 3,500 calories without feeling like a complete fat ass. Currently I eat healthy, supplement with a good protein and take multis, CLA and fish oil.
I don't mind injections other than EOD really, really got old since I discovered that glutes and delts were the only sites I could endure. I would MUCH prefer maybe once a week or e5d though. I'm also terrified of gyno as I hate my nipples anyway.
Help an old man out. If you guys don't think I should even use, that's cool too. I'll carry my fat ass over to the natural BB forum and continue my work. But I'd appreciate any advice.
So... tl;dr. Appreciate anyone who made it though that diatribe.
