Hey Ronnie,
I am definitely a follower of STS!!
Here's a question. I'm 45 years old, 6'2" 260 lbs. I've been working out all my life a side from 2-3 years recovering from a motorcycle accident. About 3 years ago I switched jobs and started eating poorly and went up to about 25% BF. I'm on an island and limited to working out at home. Anyway, I was constantly having problems with muscle pulling joint pain neck problems, etc. Anyway, invested in some really nice home gym equipment and also noticed that AAS (along with everything else is legally obtained here). About 6 months ago I did a 400mg test c - Deca 400 mg and it was like magic!! I was taking Dbol at 30 mg ed, but my BP went up so I quit it. I PCT with nolva and clomid for 3 weeks and anyway, kept what appeared to me to be all of my muscle (- water). I'm 5 weeks into my second cycle and have noticed gains slowing. I'm down to about 18% BF and am thinking of upping my dose from 400 mg to 600/800 mg test c and leaving the Deca at 400 mg. I've also started to use250 iu of HCG after reading a thread by Swifto on this form. I was also thinking of adding some stanzalol at 50 mg eod for the last 4 weeks of a 13 week cycle. I'll also drop the Deca a week earlier than the Test C.
My work out is Ronnie's Slingshot Training with a 5 day split, one muscle group once a week. I used a 4 day split with only one day off and that kicked my ass, but after the deload I'm 110%.

I do cardio on a eliptical machine for 30 min 4-5 times a week.
Diet-wise, here's an example
8:00 am 2 Bananas - cardio 30 minutes
9:30 Fruit salad w/yogurt oats, 3 hard boiled eggs 1 whole/2 whites
12:00 chicken coconut curry w/vegtables, rice
3:00 pm Chicken sandwich on whole wheat bread 3 eggs 1 whole/2 whites
6:00 Pre workout 3 bananas
Post workout whey protien shake w/bananas, mango OJ Pine apple juice 1 egg and milk.
9:00 pm grilled chicken or lean beef with garden salad or asparagus w/ olive oil.
I guess what I'm looking for is any suggestions, especially whether to include this Stanzolol for the last 4 weeks of my cycle. My BF% isn't dropping as fast as I would like, but I'm definitely looking better. (I'm not taking AAS to lose weight!) I've had no bad side effects from any of this, my libido has gone through the roof and I've started to have chics as young as 25 hitting on me. My lifts have gone way up and no hints of joint pain or injury after the deload. I guess I need to get blood work done but the place I'm at isn't easy to get this done. I probably could have done more research and went at this differently, but it's hard to say it was a mistake for me. Any heads up or ideas regarding diet, workout or AAS would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I live in Thailand and for some reason I can't find an AI to save my life. Does anyone see any problems or solutions with this?
