Ok, a little background: I've been lifting for about a year after 3 years of Crossfit and Oly lifting and many many years of distance running. I decided to try a cycle of Primo about 6 months ago that lasted 9 weeks. I was pleased with the results but then went on vacation for 3 weeks to Central America and promptly lost all the weight I gained (i have hell gaining weight), not all i lost was muscle, but a fair amount was.
I decided to try and gain the weight (ideally, muscle although i know some fat will be gained) back naturally and upped my calories/macros accordingly. I have gained 5 of the 8 lbs back that i lost and decided this would be a good time to start another cycle. As I tolerated the sides very well last time, I increased my dosage (i used 50 mg last time, and just started with 100 mg for this round) although if I experience unpleasant or too undesirable sides I will drop the dosage. I am also upping my calories even more to balance out the anticipated increased metabolism. I am using no other steroids, although i do use HGH for anti-aging purposes (3 IUs/day this is the most i will use and may go back down to 2 IUs/day after a while--I'm still playing with this). Does anyone have any suggestions? Right now I am not worried about staying lean too much----i am naturally lean and know that I can lean out rather easily when time comes. I am currently 5'10", 145 lbs, and age 53. I lift 3 days on one day off. I currently do no cardio, but am thinking of incorporating some 2-3 days a week. Thanks in advance
