50 years old doing first cycle.... Advise?

[Wunderpus]

I would get your baseline levels tested first-
A. To make sure you're healthy enough to run a cycle or two.
B. To see where your TT and E2 levels are, possibly (most likely) you're a candidate for TRT.

As far as a hypothetical cycle, deca is very mild and is great for joints. You MAY retain some water, but it's mostly diet that will effect that. I think 500 test E and 500 deca would be fine. Have your PCT (nolva and clomid) on hand in case something goes awry. I don't know if you're done having kids or not, but HCG would be a nice addition to keep your balls in the game.

Just had blood work done with the doc and he said everything was good before I started my cycle of test cyp. Have been on trt for the past two years. Been watching my blood pressure and that's all under control too.no kids in the future so that's not a problem. Not sure of lowering the dose after the cycle to the normal prescription level or to take a break before starting back..is there anything I should be watchIng for? it's been a while since I a cycle and was wanting to put some size on.thanks for your input

Hey guys,
I've been reading through your comments as I'm considering doing my first cycle. I had Lyme disease and my muscles & joints are weak and get injured even when I sleep...always in pain rotator cuffs, tendons, strains plus my immune system has a difficult time fighting off bugs. I was a bodybuilder for many years but now it's a matter of rebuilding & strengthening soft tissue as well as getting back to my peak size.

My doctor is ready to prescribe the steroid but he is doing extra research himself.

My Q's to those in the know:
1. Firstly I wanted to ask if you guys are talking about the legal steroids advertised around this site or illegal pharmaceutical grade?
2. Deca or Testosterone for first cycle at early 40's - my testosterone levels are normal so admittedly I'm nervous about the possible negative effects I could suffer from taking it. Deca durabolin is the preference at this stage due to the lesser side effects as per the literature I've read on it.
3. Tablets vs injections?
4. Upon commencing resistance traing

 

[Dark Eagle]

woops it sent!
4. Upon commencing resistance training after 3 months off, recommended time training before commencing the cycle?

Thanks so much appreciate your comments

Honestly i would stick to testosterone, deca will shut you down hard and recovery from deca is tough also some people experience low libido on deca. That being said test on the other hand will do everything you are looking for. And your sex drive will be like when you were 21 again.
As far as your question of orals or injectables, i would highly recommend inj, orals are tough on the liver and the way i feel is why take the chance , unless you are a competitive Bodybuilder or power lifter.
And your question about legal or black-market always go pharmaceutical if you have that option, the BM is a tough thing to navigate for a beginner plus pharm grade is far superior.
Also i would recommend getting a solid 2-3 months training and good nutrition under your belt before starting.
Now, have you thought about recovery ? If not i would suggest taking some time and reading some threads in the recovery section before you even start your cycle as i believe recovery is more important than the cycle. Make sure you have ALL you pct meds on hand before starting your cycle.
Well i hope this helps you get started.
Good luck!!!!!

thanks for that info that's great. I read and hear Testosterone is the preferred of the two for first cycle. I'll have a chat with the doc about it. If planning on doing 2 to 3 cycles would you recommend Deca or stack with test at the 2nd or 3rd or stick with test if 1st cycle goes well?
Yes all good with pct, definitely want to see the t production return.

Do you recommend test e or c yourself?

Appreciate the help thank you

 

[Mr.B66]

You wont be disappointed. Some good ol pharm grade test cypionate will put you right where you want to be at say 200mg 2x per week or if trt dose is more desired id say 100mg 2x per week.

Tue - 150mg Test C/225mg Boldenone
Fri - 150mg Test C/225mg Boldenone

Totals = 300mg Test C/week
450mg Boldenone/week

I added the Bold back in January at 300mg/week to repair my Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (tennis elbow). The year prior I added the prohormone Superdrol to my Test C only cruise and got very strong. Unfortunately my muscles got stronger than my supporting tissue and viola! Worst case of tennis elbow I've ever had. Couldn't even hold a cup of coffee. Boldenone and Deca both repair supportive tissue but Bold at a much greater rate. I've been very pleased with the result. Pain in the elbow is now gone and I'm back to doing biceps curls and the like. My focus is to build the supporting tissue to be able to handle the heavier weights that come with added compounds like Superdrol or Dbol. I'll stay at 450mg/week for a couple more months then up it to 600mg/wk in September which is when I'm adding 50mg Tren Ace ED for a 60 day run.

same problem doing 600mg test e weekly and 12.5mg of dball daily the stronger I get the worse my tennis elbow gets was thinking of adding boldenone 400mg weekly with test e and dball on my first cycle so far so good its only ben 19 days of 12 week cycle put on about 8 ponds so far when should I start adding boldenone and for how long

 

[Mr.B66]

I like to run eq for at least 12 weeks, preferably 16 its kinda slow coming on so if you start now you might think about extending your cycle to 14 weeks. JMO!!
For joint pain ive used and been very happy with some npp, shoulder pain that i had for cpl years went away and i could do dips again for the first time in a year. Good stuff!!

51 in a couple months, going to start my first cycle. I had my blood tests done about a week ago in the AM T was 411. I am a little surprised because I have been making gains. Anyway I am going to start with Test and I was told to do 500-750 a week but that seems like a lot to me after reading these posts and also eq I have a little going on with my elbows. Looking for any advise or suggestions.
