New Member, and another older guy, 47

[HairyBarry]

About 4 years ago I was at about 36% body fat and felt like shit. Moved to a new town and a my new family doc did blood work; first one to to check testosterone and it was at 143. He put me on a cream with obviously lackluster results. Took some time but with a lot of searching I found a clinic that prescribed 200mg per week of Test Cyp (self inject), anastrozole, armour thyroid and metformin. It's worked out very well. Started going to the gym, following Rippetoe and similar strength related coaches and here I am 4 years later at 5'11", 245 and hovering around 20%BF.

I read about deca and the effects it had on joint relief; so I bought 5 vials of 200mg/ml from a source that delivered in about 12 days. I added 100mg to my 200mg test last Sunday. It's helped I believe but I'm going to give it a couple of weeks at the 100/200 ratio. I have to admit that this has been the best week I've had at the gym ever and I think I might like the anabolic part of this deca. I'm going to keep it at therapeutic levels for a while though.

Anyway I'm here to learn, find new sources and possibly contribute my experiences.

Welcome aboard HB. Congratulations on your progress. By the way, what was your dosage of anastrozole with the 200mg of test?

Welcome aboard HB. Congratulations on your progress. By the way, what was your dosage of anastrozole with the 200mg of test?

It's from a compounding pharmacy and the dosage is 0.125mg/day. My estrogen levels hold pretty steady in the teens.

Oh I also inject HCG 2 days before and 2 days after my test injection.

The Deca is working, in a week?
Did I get that right?

Welcome. I know some overweight guys have low T naturally, but I think its best to lose weight and try and stabilize and raise your Test naturally before hitting the gear. That way you wont have to depend on trt and can cycle. But just my 2 cents.

Well, he did say "I believe", could be a little placebo effect going on there.

My testosterone at the on the 6th day after injection and late in the evening, which is when my doc wants to test, usually runs in the 800's. 4 years ago when I started all this; on the same schedule my test was in the 400's. But I did go from 280@36%bf lazy blob to 245@20%bf beast. And by beast I mean in damn good shape plus hairy like Chewbacca. 4 years of test has made me hairy, back, belly, chest, it's crazy.

You're may be right, I did my first pin last Sunday and at around Wednesday I was feeling a little better than normal. Kind of like when I get my new vial of test and I have quite a bit left over of the old one so I finish it up, that turns out to be 400mg+ for that week.
