Just wanted to post my results and discuss, seek advice for future cycles.

I'm 50, been lifting for 30 years, in good shape, fairly strong, big. 6'2" and 230lbs. No abs, but very muscular.

Did 10 week cylce.

1-10 250 mg Test E
1-4 25 mg dbol ed
PCT - Nolva 40, 40, 20, 20

The dbol was awesome, Lordy I felt like a machine on that stuff. Gained about 12 pounds in a few weeks, but gyno symptoms popped up(I am prone). Took Nolva on cycle and it calmed it down. Once off the dbol, I didn't have the gyno symptoms anymore. Lost about half the dbol weight. Test kicked in bout week 4ish, very nice. Overall, I felt UNBELIEVABLE on this cycle, even though it is a beginner cycle. Getting bloods done in a month, then going to do another cycle. Time off will be about 10 weeks. I lost all the weight I had gained from the cycle, but overall feeling still good - strength still good.

Any suggestions for my next cycle? I have dbol and test e currently, as well as Adex and Nolva.

Thinking about 500 mg of test e per week, one injection. Front load 4 weeks with dbol ed at 25, maybe 50 mg, then maybe hit another couple weeks of dbol after last injection. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
 
My suggestion wud be learn how to eat to keep ya gains post cycle .. Otherwise wats the point bro

Im not convinced you can keep all the weight gains from steroid use. Most was certainly water. The point is I feel awesome while on cycle. Im not interested in turning into an obvious roid user, but do enjoy the feeling of having the clock turned back so to speak - pumped, a little bigger, stronger, feel great, libido off charts. Just looking at other options perhaps.
 
I'm on my 1st ever cycle at age 49 (almost 50 as well, 2 more months). Lifting since age 13, so 37 years. I feel amazing. I'm doing 500 mg (split) a week of Test-Cyp, 20 mg of Anavar a day, and Anastrozole at .5 EOD. Thinking of just staying on 250 mg of test a cyp for life since I came in low at recent pre-cycle bloods. My new bloods will be done in a week or two to see where I'm at. Good to see another geezer jump on the nectar (test) like myself.;)

53 here. In my 3rd year on TRT. It really sounds like you're in the same boat, i.e. low natural test. Get your bloodwork done once you're back to natty, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're sub-250. Which means that you should join the TRT club.

Then you'll have decent test levels all year round - which will absolutely help you retain gains (not dismissing the food angle, but if you're low on test, even the best food won't help).
 
Considering blasting/cruising type in the future. Getting full bloodwork done in about month once everything clears. So I will go from there. Thanks for the input.

What about other compounds? Any suggestions or just stick to Test?

Personally, I've added a bit of Deca - I find that my joints like it.
 
Update on AAS cycle for this now 51 year old life long lifter.

After I did my first cylce which I posted in this thread, I got bloods done and had a test level of 199. Everything else was just fine according to the Dr.

Currently on my 2nd cycle week 5. 500 mg Test E once a week, jumped with 50mg A50 for the first 4 weeks. The A50 feels a bit better than the Dbol did, less gyno aggravation. Pumps are just stupid. I was also taking Ameridex about 1mg E3d's. Seemed to keep everything in check. Currently up about 12 pounds or so. OFF AAS i stay around 230. I will be getting bloods after I finish this cylce as well.

Considerations for next cycle are Test E 500 mg for 12 weeks, Deca 250 mg for 10 weeks, and A50 for the first 4 weeks. Really looking forward to that in 2017.

Wanted to mention, I do pct for 4 weeks - Nolva 40 40 20 20. I seem to recover nicely. Once I feel recovered, I go back on.
 
Your test was 199? Thats definitely in the trt range. Did the doc try to put you on trt? Did you have pre cycle bloods from your first cycle to see if maybe you are still shut down? Or is 199 normal for you. Regardless I would try to get that up with a power pct or get on trt. Or just blast and cruise. You will never keep your gains if off cycle your test is 199. P.S. Deca shuts you down like a mofo, the metabolites stay in your fat cells for over a year. Pct might not work this time, although it doesn't seem it worked last time anyways.

Did some lifting in my 20s but life happened and got busy.Started lifting at 50 again, then did a test only cycle at 51.
I just turned 54. Started at 5'8 147 which was my weight throughout adulthood. Today i am still 5'8(thank god i havent started shrinking yet) but 193.
It sounds as if you may already have had low t going into your cycle.
250mg test weekly is just above some trt doses prescribed by docs.
The gains you made on cycle were more than likely just water retention from the dbol.
Thats why you lost them all post cycle.
Gains at 250mg test can be made and kept but it is much like natty gains due to tt levels being very close to a typical 20 yr old tt number.
In the future a dbol kick with 500 mg test e with a proper diet will yield lasting results provided your lifting is also dialed in.
Btw...even at 25mg dbol keep a close eye on your blood pressure.

I am 48 and I don't use that much juice and I've been at since about 84'. I would start off a little slower.
