On 9/14/10 I weighed 165 and did my 1st shot of test and stayed on until 1/29/11 (4 months) at doses between 500 and 750mgs. Made great gains even though my diet was terrible. But as you know my gains fizzled out. I tried a half assed post cycle for 6 weeks and felt terrible so I jumped back on 3/13/11. I do get yearly physicals btw. My second cycle was no where near as good for gains. Didnt feel like superman anymore even though I was hack squatting 920 for reps. Hadnt read your stuff yet. Bumped dose up to a gram a week for a couple of weeks and lost sex drive so I lowered dosage back to 750mgs..600 mgs..then 500 mgs.. 4 months later I cut my dosage back to 250mgs a week and cruised for a month. On 10/09/11 i jumped back on 500mg test and Dbol for a couple of weeks. I have done dbol before. Made some strenght gains but no weight ( bad diet) On 11/21/11 I cruised again for about 1 months, then stopped copletely for 1 month to get blood work done ..everything ok for the most part. Test level was 297..tried to get on hrt. Doc told me to try clomid and would not prescribe injectable. So I went home and shot a gram of sust and 500 weekly after that for a month and then ran tren for 9 weeks at 300 mgs weekly. Felt great but labido was shot afterwards. I stopped log book after that. I stayed on 500 to 750 of sust up until 2 weeks ago. Cruisin 2 weeks then back on for 8 following your recipe. I know I desperately need to eat more. Plus I have sustained back, neck, rotator cuff, and elbow injuries along the way. Poor form and lifting way too phsyco heavy for my size. Can I continue like this or am I askin for trouble? You are saking for trouble because you are all over the place and the heavy lifting in poor form (ego lifting I call it) at 45 is going to keep you in constant pain and eventually rip a tendon. If I cruise for a month or two can I hang on to gains if I eat alot? You can hang onto your weight but you will lose msucle and gain fat. And if I have to increase mgs every reload I will be broke and asking for negative sides. At your age and since you are not competing you do not need to increase dosages each reload. Find a comfort zone and stay there for 8 weeks then back to trt dosages for 2 weeks then back on more test for next 8 week reload. You may find that 500-750 mgs of test alone is all you need and can afford to make your long term goals. Afterall you are not a national level competitor so why not just look good, feel good and do something that you can afford? Diet plays a key role in how you look anyways and you need to stop trying to keep geting stronger and stronger at your level and focus more on less weight and squeezing the muscle to get a pump and burn! My suggestion to you is stay on trt for life and use the slingshot method of cycling when you are cycling. I am willing to bet you are over-training as well for your age. Less can be more as you get past 40 years of age! I guess if I cruise for a minimum of 2 weeks I will still make gains once back on. Maybe a month cruise would be better, but will I lose alot of size. Also experiencing poor erections after being on for the better part of two years. E levels are probably too high. I highly recommend using test and masteron year round to help prevent these issues. You also need to take cialis on a daily basis at age 47 because many people over age 40 have a slightly enlarged prostate. Cialis helps with this issue. Also, if you are one of these people who get an increase in sex drive while using tren expect a crash when you come off. However, cialis and masterone helps counteract this. Never taken an AI...just adjusted my test levels myself. My guess is I have screwed up my system and I will be pinning for life now. Any advice would be appreciated.
