Help with Test Cyp half life and PCT start time

[telewacker]

lets see...14weeks...250teste and 300 tren e total a week for about 6 or7 weeks (i was just trying tren n ran out ) then another 5weeks of 500 test e and 2 weeks test prop to finish while the e started to clear...started pct like 8 days after the prop (22 after test e) ....clomid at 100 for 2 weeks with 40mg nolva....then halved that last two weeks 50 and 20....im driving and dates are on my calendar but thats the gist

Thanks. Same PCT as I'm doing but your cycle was a bit heavier I think.

sounds confusing but essentially about 500-550 mg a week. oh except test prop first 2 weeks to let the e esther build up a bit so higher first two weeks...

Bloods two weeks into PCT @ 100/40. Second two weeks is 50/20.

Test 720
LH 5.2
FSH 3.8
E2 27.3

Surprised Test is that high.

I know the real test is 2-4 weeks after PCT but I want to test bloods every two weeks just to see how my body responds to PCT as this is my first cycle.

So far no sides...feel totally normal.

Any comment on these numbers from those more knowledgeable than myself would be appreciated.

You're on SERMs. It's high bc of them

Your pituitary is responding to GNRH and your balls are responding to LH.

I get that. I'm just used to people complaining that their T is super low while on PCT. Glad mine is where it is though below my natty.

Finished PCT with no issues. Felt normal the whole time if somewhat less enthused to lift until towards the end. Did bloods the day after finishing.

T 1342
LH 9.1
FSH 5.7

Will do bloods again in four weeks but I'm encouraged with these numbers and hope to settle in at my original natty in the 900s.

How old are you? Your test numbers are all really high compared to most I've seen both before and after cycle and during and after pct

Time to come clean. I said I was 53 but I'm actually turning 64 in two weeks. I took ten years off my age because I felt so out of place here at my real age. I apologize for the subterfuge. Other than sun damaged skin I'm more like 20 years younger than my age in appearance and athletic performance. I think maybe years of hard core mountain biking and good genetics (my grandparents and mother both passed in their late 90s) has kept my T very high.

Wow 63 that's impressive brother. Definitely nothing to be ashamed of. When I'm 63 if I have natural test over 300 I'll be happy

I just didn't know what people would think of someone my age doing a cycle for the first time. It was a great experience EXCEPT I overdid it and tore my left rotator cuff and developed some tennis elbow. My tendons couldn't keep up with my muscle's development. Doing it again I would choose lighter weights with more reps. My next cycle I plan on adding Deca or EQ hopefully to help my joints.

I'm sure your not the only one in their 60s around here. The only people who shouldn't be doing this shit is young guys but even some teens and early 20y/o around here are doing it anyway. I'm gonna use deca next cycle as well because my joints nagged the shit out of me last cycle

Good to know. Thanks.

How long does it take for the SERMs to leave your system?

 

[telewacker]

OK 4 weeks after completing PCT, T 898, LH 5.3, FSH 4.3. I'll check again in another month but I think I'm back to normal and functioning on my own. As soon as my shoulder is 100% I'm going to start my second cycle.

Mark my words at age SIXTY your rotator cuff won't be the only joint "needing surgery" if you continue to believe a 60 yo can have 20 year old joints thru the use of AAS.

Oh and about the only thing Deca will give you is a limp third leg at your age.

Nice buddy. I guess misinterpreting my words so you could have a satisfying rant seems like a good idea to you. " if you continue to believe a 60 yo can have 20 year old joints thru the use of AAS." WTF? Where did I suggest AAS helps joints? If anything it's the opposite.

Anyway turns out it's not a rotator cuff injury, but a relatively mild AC joint impingement on a ligament causing some tendonitis. Certainly nothing requiring surgery. It's almost healed and my orthopedist gave me PT exercises to do to prevent injury in the future. Again I am looking at lower weights at higher reps and I'm not interested in getting huge.

I guess not all 60 year olds are created equal because I still out perform guys half my age on the bike and have no trouble getting wood multiple times a day. Of course having natty T of 900 helps. What's yours?
