I was lifting from age 16 to 28. Never for shows, just to look good and of course so I could say "I bench ***lbs" when a girl would come up to feel my arm! Then I discovered the joys of golfing. That was the end of lifting for me. I would still go to the gym 20 or 30 times a year to keep some of the muscle I spent so many years making, but never got serious. After 8 years, I looked like a golfer! So, I began to diet and lift. This January I decided to do my 5th cycle. My last cycle was at the age of 28: 400mg Deca, 50mg dBol and 600mg Test. 4 cycles I never had a side effect other than bloating and acne.
Flash forward to 4 weeks ago. I decided to do 300mg Deca, 500mg Test E. Well needless to say I was not 28 anymore and I should have treated it like a first cycle, not a 5th. By week 2 I started to have a very week erection and the next day a sore nipple (no acne, minor bloating). I had Arimidex on hand so started .5mg EOD, but due to the erection I assumed this was a prolactin issue. I had some Prami sent overnight and started .25mg ED. By the 4th night everything was much better. I dropped the Deca and dropped my Test to 400mg every week. We will see how the cycle finishes up. I am up 10 lbs after 4 weeks.
My lesson learned; what happened in you 20's might not happen in your 30's!
