Cycle advice

[macelaws67]

Morning guys! I would like some opinions on a first cycle ,I have done some of my own homework, but still a bit un sure on what gear I'm looking for ? I just turned 48, I'm a experienced lifter, and I am on TRT@ 200mg test-C a week. I would say body fat % is somewhere between 10-12 %. Anyway I'm interested in a conservative first cycle,my main goal is recovery and obviously some mass gain . please let me know what other info will help out,thanks for your time!

I would just bump your test up to 500 and run it for 12 weeks.

Thanks! I have considered it, what if any are the drawbacks of using a single compound, oposed to using a stack? What % of gains could I expect to keep? On the premis that I would just go back to my 200mg a week,post cycle.

There aren't any draw backs, even though you have been on trt you still don't know how your body is going to react to the much higher dose. Not very many people listen but it's best to ease into this and take one step at a time. After you run the 500 of test and cycle off you can add another compound if needed.

For this cycle I would run AI to keep E under control. Aromasin from Ag guys is what I use. Dose it 10mg eod. Get blood work about 5-6 weeks in and you can adjust from there. There are many discussions on this to explain in better detail. Good luck and feel free to ask any other questions you have.

200/week is a lot for HRT, I would honestly take a break from everything for 4-6 weeks then do 500mg test for 12 weeks, then drop to your HRT dose again. 200mg a week is putting you above normal levels for sure. Agree with magyar about the rest

I was thinking the same that 200 seems pretty high to me. Guess I should have asked, is the 200mg/week dr prescribed or self prescribed? If self have you gotten any blood work to see what your levels are?

A simple testosterone only cycle is your best option for a first cycle. Not having previous experience with steroids (besides your TRT), your body will hyper respond. You really don't need a lot. 400-500mg of testosterone per week will make you recover and feel like you were 21 again.

Make sure to add in an AI to your cycle to prevent the aromatization of testosterone to estrogen. I recommend aromasin from ag-guys.com at 10mg EOD.

Adding cardarine GW to your cycle would be a great addition. You can order it from sarms1.com. Dose 20mg/day (10mg AM 10mg PM). It will provide tremendous endurance, fat loss and recovery benefits.

Dr . prescribed, I started at 150, felt great! levels went way up! By my second blood draw they came down, went to 180, and that didn't do much,and most importantly it didn't feel any better, I will get my first draw at 200 in 2 weeks,but I feel much better!? From some research, I don't think 200 is that outrageous?

Thanks guys,! I will run the 500×12weeks with the AI, I'm not however going to come off the trt first,but I do appreciate the advice,I will let you guys know how it goes for a ol' guy like me

No sir it's not outrageous at all, if bloods say you need 200 then that's fine, just wanted to make sure you actually needed that much.

I still think just upping test to 500 mg would be a nice cycle for you bro. Do it for 12 weeks, see how it goes then we can discuss adding another compound based off what you want (bulk or cut)

It is best to be gradual in these things, and take one step at a time. Therefore, a simple test solo run would be the optimal thing to do. 400-500 mgs will be plenty for good results. As @muskate has already pointed out, use an AI from the first day of the cycle to keep estrogen under control, and everything will be fine.

 

[MikeSnow]

yea since your on trt you can just blast the test up to 400-500mg range, have an AI like aromasin though

What up fellas! after ready the post "18lbs in 2 weeks" I thought it would be fun to ask, what sort of things I can expect on my first cycle?,500mg of test E ×12. With the understanding that there are many variables, But just a few things to look for or expect, etc

As always appreciate the time!!
