New Member/First Cycle help

[Malhadasso]

Hi Guys!

Im new here and need some help/advice.
Im 49 years old and recently returned to work out. I used to train hard but I stopped for a feel years. Returned some months a go and I am in my first cycle.
Im using Test E (1cc Monday/1cc Thursday).
Im taking Dbol 10mg pills (took 2 a day first and second week, now on third week I am taking 3/day).
I started with 153 pounds (Im 5.9') and now I have 166.5 pounds) So I gain 10 pounds in almost 3 weeks.
I wanna gain more 15 pounds at least and then see if I gonna do a cutting cycle or rest a month and start a new one.
I had no side effects so far. Just feel my nipples a little sensible part of the day. But this is very light.
I got 98 pills at the beginning (dbol 10mg) and 10cc of test e.
My friend who is helping me told me to take it for 4 weeks (both) but I am not sure that this is the ideal. I think I need more test e to keep it for at least 6 or 8 weeks.
He told me that considering that this is my first cycle I don't need to do TPC.
I'd like to know your opinion because I am not sure if he is right. Im having very little water retention so far.
Thanks for any help.

Welcome. Post your questions in the Q&A section. This is for new member intro and probably won't be seen by the correct people. I don't think you'll get much response unless.you.post more about your personal history. Body fat%, training experience, diet. What you asked doesn't have a simple yes or no answer. IMO at your age and no steroid history you should be checking your hormone levels with blood tests. I'm 43 with a 20yr history. I wouldn't personally gauge whether I needed pct or not based on anecdotal evidence. Any amount of exogenous test will shut down your HPTA. Maybe not completely, but it will affect it no matter what dose as far as I know and has been my experience. How susceptible you are to aromatization is individualistic. blood tests were the only way to know for sure. GL.

Welcome!

I'd go with 500 test only for first cycle and add an oral the second cycle, or even better just increase test to 750.
Don't add to many compounds to fast. If you get ant sides it can be hard to tell where they come from.

At your age I would suggest staying on TRT dose between cycles for best results.
And keep cycles at 8 weeks.
