45 yrs old getting ready to start first cycle Test C--Dbol

[MikeJ0522]

1st off thanks for a great site. More information and helpful members than I have read anywhere...

Looking to start my first cycle probably 1st of October to gain size. Wanting to get my diet right for a couple weeks before I start anything. I'm 45 years old, 6ft, 190 lbs, athletic build.... Used to lift 5x a week when I was 35 just using your basic GNC sold products and just have that urge to get back to where I was. Just started lifting again after a couple years off due to some tendonitis issues. I realize at 45 it will be tougher. Been on a Test C script with my dr (level was around 290) prescribing only 100 A MONTH. Knew that wasn't going to do much lol, so I decided to just keep the bottles until I had enough to do an actual cycle. Based on what I have read, I am looking around 350-400 a week for about 5 weeks. I will also be taking around 25mg of Dbol per day too during this time. I've heard that taking something like milk thistle is good for the liver when taking Dbol. Hope that is correct. Would this be sufficient to just help gain some size back and kick start my ability to regain some of my youthful feeling and motiviation! I don't have access to anything else other than Winstrol and that's more for cutting from what the profile said. Will I need anything else (AE) during this 5 weeks and what would be recommended afterwards for my age? Not fishing so please don't take it that way, but anything else I may need like AE can that be purchased off the front page of the site or a sponsor advertising? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...

Hey Mike,

Had to reach for my ibuprofen to get through that massive paragraph, but I made it

Anyway, if you've been out of the gym for a couple years, I think that this coming October is too early to get into a cycle. October 2014 would make more sense. The reason why, is because you need to get back to strengthening your body and getting it ready for the burst of strength that the high doses will provide. Frankly, cycling now is a recipe for injury. It's all too common.

Next thing would be your choice of compounds. 400 mg of prescription testosterone is certainly plenty for a decent cycle. I wouldn't worry much about dianabol at this stage. It's a compound you can include in future cycles. That way you can learn how your body reacts to high doses of testosterone and you'll be able to manage side effects without chasing multiple compounds. Unfortunately, 5 weeks of testosterone cypionate will not suffice. The compounding effect in your body would just begin to produce results around the 5 week mark. 12 weeks is more suitable.

You'll certainly need an Aromatase Inhibitor (AI). And you'll need to observe blood work mid-cycle to verify that your dose is working. if your TRT protocol includes hCG, you should continue to use it as prescribed. AI can be purchased by our sponsor, such as Liquidex, which is equivalent to the prescription; anastrozole.

I recommend that you give this thread a read, it will answer many, if not all of your questions:

Best of luck to you.

Thank you for the reply and I will check out that link when I get off work. Yea, that paragraph didn't look so bad on my computer, but phone is a completely different story! Lesson learned...

Listen to the hot broad above. He/she know's what's up!

IF I was wanting to try something for a short period of time (5-6 weeks) to see how my body reacts to it would I have some acceptable results from Dbol alone? From everything I have read it's fast acting and progression can be noticed in as short as 7 days...and it will give me an opportunity to get my body used to lifting again before introducing another compound as mentioned above until next year sometime. Seems like 25mg a day would probably work & maybe increase up to 50 later in the cycle depending on how my body reacts.

I'm honestly looking for modest gains with a proper diet in the 10-15# range and not much else. Just looking forward to getting my strength back after the time off and the fun of going to the gym again. I've been blessed with natural speed, so I would like to get back to playing competitive softball and flag football for a few years so the additional strength and size will help.

Also, I have tried to update my profile info and it says I do not have access to that page and can't view anyone else's profile. Can anyone help with that? Thanks for your time...

Don't run Dbol alone. It will just shut you down, give you sides, and you'll most likely lose all your gains once you stop taking Dbol. Take just the Test Cyp for 12 to 14 weeks. You'll have a much better experience.

Okay thanks for your reply! That's why I am here to learn from members with much more experience.

If your looking to do something shorter term, then an 8 week test prop cycle would do. Unfortunately like you said you have test cyp, which would take 5-7 weeks just to start noticing it. Just food for thought if you can get your hands on test prop. Your cypionate is nice though for a first cycle you don't have to inject near as much as prop.
Good luck

I'm on cyp, and starting into week 3 I'm noticing a boost. I have however been on TRT cyp for quite a while before I upped the dose so that may have an impact.
