Critique my cycle please

[lakota]

OK guys, here it is...Im 41 yrs old, 5' 10"tall, currently 195 lbs. My cycle for the past four weeks has been-test prop, 50 mg EOD, and Finaplix 65mg EOD, on alternating days. I had done a previous cycle with the two, but at doses of about 20 mg less than the above. Last time (About 10 weeks worth), I went from 179 lbs to 192. Now, on this previous cycle, i seem to have reached a stalemate. Waited about four weeks between the two cycles. In the past 4 weeks, I've only gained 3 lbs or so (Weight has fluctuated to 197 at times).
What r your suggestions?
Also, my Blood pressure has went up with the two, with initial doses. After a few weeks, it settles down. Once, when I used the above mentions doses of test and fina, on the same day, my BP went to 190/98, and remained that way for three days. I do use clonidine to bring the systolic down.
Thanks ahead of time.

you should wait longer than 4 weeks in between cycles..did you do PCT after last cycle?

I dunno what to say man. These doses are VERY low. Last cycle you were running 30mg Prop EOD??? That means on some weeks you would get 90mg EACH WEEK, most people use more than that each day. Not to say you cant use low doses if you want, I am not against that. However, I think you see better results with higher doses. Atleast the main thing is that you should be shooting Tren and Prop EVERYDAY. ANd have your Prop dose higher than your tren for sure.
And you only waited 4 weeks between cycles? Do you know about PCT? This is a very important aspect of cycling. Blood pressure should be watched regularly, you can use hawthorn and cayanne to help with that as natural remedies.

No, I didn't do PCT at all...things are so hard to find for me. I'll look into that though. I'm still new to all of this.

Bino,
No, I don't know anything about PCT (yet). Anyway, regarding doses, yes, I was wondering if my current doses were too low. I also didn't know how my blood pressure was correlated with the AAS; did it spike in response to the AAS PERIOD, or in response to the dosage? As I said, it would come down to normal once my body adjusted to the AAS. Maybe I should slowly increase my dose to the desired amount, then keep it there for 6 - 8 weeks. Normally, I take Atenolol 25mgs in the mornings untill my body adjusts, then half of a .1 mg clonidine for the systolic. I am in the medical profession, so this is no problem. I think, at this point, I will do just that...increase my dosages over a period of two weeks to where I want it, then stay there 6 - 8 weeks.
How does this sound to you? I'm new to this game.
Thanks again.

Definitely PLEASE do not do another cycle without PCT, especially at your age I think it will be very hard for your body to naturally restore testosterone levels to normal after you have supressed it with the use of AAS. There is a PCT forum here where you can browse around and ask questions and just learn a TON of geat info that will help you out a lot.

Blood pressure can be raised with the introduction of AAS, I would consult your doctor if your BP is that high, you are way above the normal zone. As for gradually increasing the doses I dont agree with it, you want your blood levels to be as stable as possible throughout the cycle to minimize the side effects you encounter. Just stick to one dose and run it the entire way through, jumping doses around can screw with you.

As far as dosing goes How about you try something like this:
75mg Prop (shooting everyday) for 10 weeks
50mg Tren (shooting everyday) for 8 weeks

Start your PCT 3 days after the last shot of Prop.
