I just finished a 13 week cycle, taking the d-bol the whole way thru instead of stopping at 4 weeks, 40 mg per day. I did test and deca injections all along. Felt a crash the second week after stopping, but was fine in the 3rd week after. Now it is 6 weeks after. I am thinking of starting again in maybe 4 weeks. Is that too soon? I have kept 70% of my gains and appear to have leveled off in losses. Most loss occurred within 2 weeks. This is the first time, in my 4 total cycles over several years, where I kept the gains. The other times I slacked working out after - not this time. I was thinking of getting a testosterone blood test to see if I am back to normal and therefore ready to go again. Is that a good idea? What should the test numbers be, approximately? Is this too soon to start again? Thanks!

Age - 44
Height - 6'
Weight - before cycle was 204, but during cycle lost about 8 pounds fat. Peak was 218 at end of cycle, so gained about 22 pounds muscle. 6 weeks after cycle I'm now stabilized at 211, about 15 pounds muscle kept, almost 70% of gains retained.
Bodyfat - don't know, but can see light sixpack, not deep, I am happy with that.
Diet - 4 large protein-filled meals a day, 1 40-gram protein shake after workout. So 5 all.
Training - 5 days a week, mon-fri, 15 min treadmill, 45 min heavy weights, 5-way split. Ex. - mon is chest day. warmups, then 6 sets flat bench to failure, 4 sets incline bench to failure. Finished. Ex. - tues is back day. warmups, then 6 sets pullups to failure. 4 sets dumbbell bent-over rows. Finished.
Goals - keep getting as big as possible, as fast as possible. Staying reasonably lean is not a problem for me. If I eat clean. I don't get water retention.
PCT knowledge - little. This time I took 1 tablet Tamoxifen per day for 20 days, just finishing now. Started that in weeks 4-6 post-cycle. Am in 6th week post-cycle now.
Cycle was 1 ml shot of Deca a week, 2 shots of an ampoule (250) of test enanthate a week, and 4 d-bol a day,(10 mg each), before the workout. Same for 13 weeks.
I think my next cycle will be 2 shots of Deca a week, 1 ml each. 2 shots of 250 test enanthate a week. And only 2 d-bol a day after the first 4 weeks.
I am VERY satisfied with the growth I got this last time. I look much bigger. But of course it is never enough.
Advice, please?
