1st Timer (Old Guy)

[Dryseeker]

Whats up Bros-Im getting ready to roll for my 1st ever, I intend to start this in a few months & am continuing my research until then. Here are my stats:

40 Years old
Lifting for 20+ years-5' 9 180 10% bf
Bench around 300 17 inch arms 46 inch chest 31inch waist

I feel like I've maxed my natural potential-I used to be a fulltime Personal Trainer so I know diets & routines pretty well

1st ever cycle

Test C 500 mg week for 12-16 weeks (Any advice on the duration here)
Im also debating "jumpstarting with 20 mg day of Dbol or 80 mg of Anavar for the 1st 4 weeks. However Im a litttle afraid of orals at my age & Im not sure if var would even be a good idea. Any advice?

Im still working on PCT (I wont begin cycle until I have everything I need)
I fear Gyno & other Test sides. I've also heard conflicting info on Test amounts, I've heard 250-300mg a week is enough for someone my weight however I have also heard 500 weekly is needed for any good gains. If I do 500 weekly should I split it up into 2 injections are just 1? Im sure I will need more advice as the day draws closer, Thanks in advance for your help-Peace

if your test is 250mg/ml then you can shoot 1 ml every 3 days that would give you 500 per wk thats what i do currently.if this is your 1st you dont want to go dumping large amounts of aas into your virgiin muscles it will hurt alot ,im 36,5'4" 209 and started my cycle with naposim(dbol) 25 mg going up to 50mg by wk 6 i was also taking proviron at 50mg ed when i dropped the dbol i lowered proviron to 25 mg ed and currently dont have any issues im curently usng cyp,400 wk and decca 500 wk ive got just under 2 wks left had good gains great increase in strength .the only problem i had with dbol is that i couldnt sleep and i had bad muscle pain towards the the 6th wk.otherwise all is good.

Dude I am almost 52. You aint old OK

First cycle for you should be twelve weeks of Test E at 500mg a week split in two and shot Mon and Thurs at 250mg each. Get some Arimidx/L-dex (its the same thing) and do 0.25mg ED while on cycle. Thats it. Enjoy !!!!

Well I personally would be much more cautious at your age, even though you are not "old" as far as I am concerned. Risks involved with steroid usage have been shown to increase with age, consiquentally, this is the time when they would be of the most benfit as well.

The best advise I can give you is to:

1. Bloodwork. Get it done BEFORE, DURING and AFTER PCT (Post Cycle Therapy), complete bloodwork. This will be your guide and will let you know what you can handle and what you need to do.

2. Start out small, don't even use orals yet. Try 250mg testosterone cypionate or enanthate a week first. If you get decent bloodowrk back, you could up the dose until you reach a range that is comfortable for you.

3. Concentrate as well as you can on diet and training, steroid hormones will not do much for you without these.

Good luck and I hope you reach your goals!
