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

[newtogame52]

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!!

NPP= Nandrolone Phenylpropionate

It's not included in the list of steroid profiles on this site, but you can read quite a bit about it by doing a Google search. Good luck and keep us posted.

my advice.... really resist the urge to go heavy, be very very very careful, it is so easy to tweak ligaments and tendons and then screw yourself up for a long long time where you can't lift much at all, going on a cycle is a perfect time to injure yourself with your quick increase in strength, make sure your form is good and don't hyperextend or go too low below parallel on shoulder exercises, so easy to get hurt for us older guys without the youthful elasticity to our connective tissues

also, I think you will find that you will be worse off after you cycle and going on trt will be something you are hastening, and it is not a light decision to make as it is not a perfect easy solution and shouldn't be taken lightly

good luck

Thanks I appreciate any help or suggestions, simply because I don't want to mess anything up or regret something because I was unaware. My Doc has been talking about trt but I think I am just going to take it slow and see what happens and how I recover and go from there. I already hurt my tendons in my elbows from doing just what you mentioned and I wasn't even on cycle so differently learned my lesson. I have everything healed and ready to go so I hope this is a good experience. Thanks again Great forum I have gotten a lot from it

[Throwback]

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.

My first cycle was at 51...at the time I was really just trying to recover T levels as mine were near o. Diet/nutrition along with 300-350 mg/wk test e added almost 30 lbs of which I kept about 18...that being said a first cycle at 50 dosed at 500mg/wk test e is fairly standard....you could start with 350 then get bloods in 6-7 weeks and see where you stand. The less you use in early cycles leaves the door open for ever bigger blasts down the road

 

[Throwback]

always wanted to do a cycle if all go good next cycle next test e and tren !!!!!

I would get a few cyles in before hitting the tren train....for a couple reasons. Use the lesser aas to get the gains and size for as long as possible
Tren is super strong stuff and it works much differently than test, dbol ect with regard to added muscle and recomping body fat. If you have an honest 15% or higher bf tren sides can be bad also.
That being said, Tren is my favorite next to good test of any aas. My next cyle which will begin in about 6 weeks will be 300 test e 600mg tren e. All I need to do is get the loan to afford the food I'll need.
One last thing...if you do go with tren or even some of the other aas in a stack, your muscle strength will increase dramatically and quickly.....your tendons and ligaments do not react as fast as muscle so it is very easy to injure yourself. I'm just gonna try today to use my right arm as i injured my elbow about 6 weeks ago which pretty much ended a really good cycle
We ain't so young anymore!! Takes longer to heal now. Good luck!

I don't do golf. I don't do any of the old geezer shit. I'm too crippled to do my 20yo shit with my 400ex and high performance PWC rotting. I'm pissed at the wife right now so that's out. Making up sounds good, but I plan to drag this anger out a bit longer. In the mean time, WTF are we supposed to do?? At least if I were in a BB contest I could go home early and watch TV... (sigh)

I hear that brother I will keep that in mind besides 600mg test e what do you recommend I do for my second cycle. and how many cycle should u do a year ?

Thanks for the input, kinda looking forward to it but don't want to go crazy, just a boast. Loving all info here and experience. Thanks again

OK so I am about one week into this and I got food poisoning so that kinda slowed me down a couple days. I am back in the gym and what I am wondering is what I should expect to feel from this, as far as positives or negatives because my body just got shocked with being sick so I am thinking everything that I am feeling is related to that but I don't know if maybe some of it is from the T or eq. Any help would be great Thanks

 

[Dark Eagle]

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!!!!!

Hey Mr.B66 and fellow Tank brothers..

I'm about to start my first cycle after a good 2.5 months back into it (Aint' muscle memory grand!) There are a LOT of conflicting theories and recommendations with Brands, Dosage, and When to take the products. I would REALLY appreciate some experienced reviewers to give me your thoughts on this protocol below, is it solid? Needs to be tweaked, etc. Thanks Guys:

At 44yrs of age with normal test levels, I feel more comfortable easing into it and gradually increasing as its all new to this body – be great to hear of anyone’s experience doing just this also:

Testosterone CypionateCycle - “Testodex Cypionate 250 (250mg/ml)

Week 1:
*100mgs Test x 2 Mon & Thu (Possibly same again 2nd week to ascertain body’s reaction to it) If all good, increase -

Week 2:
*150mg Test x 2 Mon & Thu

Week 3:
* 200mg Test x 2 Mon & Thu

Week 4–10:
*250mg Test x 2 Mon & Thur

Week 11:
*150mg Test x 2 Mon & Thu

Week 12:
*100mg Test x 2 Mon & Thu

Week 1-12:
*1 quarter tablet of Fincar per day (1.25mg) -
*1 quarter tablet of Arimidex every second day (0.25mg)
*1 tablet of clomid every second day (50mg)
*320mg of standardized Saw Palmetto Extract per day

Week 13:
*1.25mg of finasteride per day
*.25mg of Arimidex every second day
*100mg of clomid every day

Week 14:
*1 quarter tablet of Arimidex every 3rd day (0.25mg)
*50mg of clomid every day

Finished!

Can't wait to see your thoughts gents. Thank you
Nick

Question.....Started about 5 wks ago 300T 450EQ 5'8" was about 215 now I have lost weight down to 205. Has that ever happened to anyone else? or am I doing something wrong? Not sure what is up

 

[Heynow]

This was my exact format when I did my first cycle 15 yrs ago. It was recommended by an experienced bb and I must say I was extremely happy with my results. You have plenty of time to get more aggressive in the future. Good Luck and keep track of your stats for reference next time you cycle again for comparison.

Everything looks good (tamper up and down) except you did not include PCT. With a longer ester you'll need to wait at least 2 weeks for the Test C to clear and then go to PCT (Clomid and Novla) for 4 weeks. Personally, I would not run Clomid during cycle and many folks here will say the same. As for Arimidex, most run between .25 to .50 eod or e3d, depending on your estro sides. If you have none, why run it? correct... As for Finasteride, unless you're having peeping problems, then you don't need it.. trying to save your hair? Sorry, but genetic determines (cycling AAS will only speed up the process) that!

I'm 53 y/o been working out non stop since my mid 20's. I've been thinking of trying a cycle, never tried before. Despite working out routinely, not seeing results of my hard work. Don't know exactly where to start. Any advice?
