Hello everyone

PrinceDaddy

V.I.P.
EVO Logger

I just joined this morning after listening to a few podcasts on SoundCloud. Great content! Appreciate the information.

I am 50 years old. Started TRT in 2017, My Test levels from 2010-2016 started at 340 and from 2011 would usually range from 240-260. My doctor adjusted the shots timing and dosage a few time before the sweet spot. Which ended up being a weekly 300 mg per week on Tuesdays. It made a huge difference personally, mentally, and in my amateur bodybuilding as I went from competing typically at 150 lb to 170 lbs the next year. My test levels went from 240 to 1000 afterwards.
Last year I decided to orals and did a mix of Anavar/Winstrol and Clen. I did not PCT as I am on TRT already. I have always been on AI Armidex as I seem to convert to Estrogen and get nipple sensitivity.

This year I am doing injectables. I am playing it safe and conservative and like my results so far, but I do have questions. Unfortunately, I did not plan my cycle well initially not understanding injectables and cycle length. Also, when I realized I needed more, I ordered more, but unfortunately was seized by customs twice. BTW, looking for a trusted domestic source.

Where I started

Wk 1-5 Dbol Oral @ 20 mg ED and 40 mg during Week 5
Wk 1-9 TRT Dosage or Test Cyp of 300mg + Additional 250 mg Test
Wk 1-9 EQ @ 400 mg
Wk 1-20 Armidex EOD
Wk 1-20 Proviron EOD

I am competing in July working towards a sub 170 weigh in for CP. I think 165 is where I should be. I weighed in post workout
177 around this time.

Currently I am on Week 11

Wk 10-20 TRT Dosage or Test Cyp of 300mg
Wk 10-20 Test Ethanate @ 300 mg, thinking of dropping this to 200?
Wk 10-20 EQ @ 600 mg
Wk 9-16 Ostartine 10 mg ED
Wk 9-16 Mk-677 12 mg ED
Wk 9-16 Cardarine 20mg ED
Wk 10-16 Anavar 20 Mg ED Boost to 40 Mg ED?

As soon as I switched up, It seem I put on 5-10 lbs. I would weight 185-190. I'm thinking some is muscle, some is water? I'm a loose waist 32, but I need to head towards a loose 30.
I don't feel like my diet is off as I did not change much between Week 1-10 and current. I still feel strong as an ox and am lifting heavy with 30 min of cardio daily.
I don't intend to cycle again this year when I finish up. Just plan to return to TRT dosage.

My questions
1) Any thought or suggestions on this cycle?
2) The weight gain?
3) Is there a recommended PCT protocol for this cycle?

Thanks.
 
Hello Sir and honored to have a competitor on the forum.
First of are you gonna stick to this cycle leading up to a show or do you have a separate cutting protocol in mind?
Are you already cutting down and how much exactly do you need to lose? If you plan to compete I assume you should know exactly how much you can weigh.
PCT protocol will be the same as with any given aas cycle. For more detailed instructions check out this thread: https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/anabolic-steroids-peds/perfect-pct-simplified!-49252.html
Also, you are running two different orals but I don't see any mention about liver assistance so just want to make sure if you are using any?
 
Thanks FF, appreciate any insight.

I am cutting towards the show. Was surprised the additions of the SARMS putting weight on me. I did increase the EQ dosage by 200mg. My Test Cyp ran out, I have combined Test Eth/EQ vial at 200mg each.
Show is July 20th. I need to be under 170 dry, I think I should be 165. I'm 5'5". I'm 20 lbs away at the moment watery.

I am running Himalayan LiverCare and Milk Thistle for liver support. Had bloodwork on May 1,

Estradiol 6.7 7.6-42.6 pg/mL Low

PSA CBC all came back in normal ranges

Liver numbers generally run a little high for me, even before TRT or this cycle. I had a Liver ultrasound last year, no issues found.
AST (SGOT) 92 0-40 IU/L High
ALT (SGPT) 88 0-44 IU/L High
 
glad you like the podcast, we are approaching 300 episodes plus there are episodes that never made the cut as 'lost episodes', maybe one day they will also be published too it is up to the bosses. but we are going to be opening up our phone lines to forum members on upcoming shows, that would be a good opportunity to call in and ask questions

my advice is cut off all watery compounds ahead of your show and if you are gaining a lot of water drop them starting right away. you can easily put on a lot of water weight on steroids, i've seen guys blowup like water balloons on just test and dbol alone. you don't want that going into the show

As far as I know those sarms should not increase your body weight to any significant degree so I'm wondering if there is something else you've changed, drugs, nutrition, training etc.
One thing I'd also like to ask is have you considered hiring a coach? I mean prepping for a contest is hard from many aspects and having someone in your corner to look after you wouldn't be a bad idea.

Welcome to Evolutionary.org! We are glad to have you here.

Your liver-cycle support is inadequate, this is clearly shown by your blood work (AST/ALT). While Himalayan LiverCare and Milk Thistle are good liver-support supplements for the layman gym goer, they are not nearly enough for a full blown steroid cycle. In fact, studies have shown milk thistle to be only 5% as effective as TUDCA. Therefore, I highly suggest you switch to a Tudca containing liver-support, I suggest N2Guard.

I would suggest dropping the mk677 soon. Thwt is likely where a large portion if not all the extra weight is coming from. Mk677 is great but it isnt great going into a show due to the water weight potential added with it
 
Welcome bro...post some pics
Ur 50 and competing thats fucking awesome
Im 10 yrs from that and it would be cool to see what i have to look fwd to for extra motivation
 
Thanks everyone.

Decided to drop Cardarine and Mk677 yesterday. Will still run Ostarine for a few more weeks. I definitely put on some muscle size, maybe a little water. I am bumping cardio now and working to lean out. I need to get to 170. I've been floating around 184-187. About 8 weeks out. We'll see how it plays...

I need to take better posing pictures. I'll work on that.
