Introduce myself

[Traider]

Hey guys. Been lurking your forums.

Little about myself.
63 years old, 5'11", 172 lbs, 15% bf. I lift consistently for ~ 3 years, 5 - 6 days for 1- 1 1/2 hours. Do a little cardio on days off.
I have lifted off on for my whole life, nothing major though.

Been make decent gains but, want to take it to the next level.

No experience in AAS. I am here to learn hoe to improve. My understanding the first thing
to do is to start with a test cycle.

Any advice or criticism would be appreciated. Even the sarcasm.

You haven’t stated your goals but I’ll bite...

Blood test to measure your baseline levels and a 10 week 500mg/week cycle seems to be the normal 1st cycle recommendation. Split the 500mg into 2 doses every 3.5 days. Buy 2 bottles of known good test250 and take 1cc every 3.5 days.

Dr Jim would recommend seeing a doctor and having him balance your test levels to where the normal range is and staying on that protocol for life. It would be about 100mg once a week. That’s what my father-in-law is prescribed. It’s very expensive to do it this way, but in the end, is the safest route.

I had my T levels checked already: serum 750, 7.5 free.

Welcome aboard. Probably better keep a close eye on blood pressure, cholesterol and prostate numbers being as you're older. Especially if you're going the non doctor route.

I go to the doc every 3 months and have blood work done. BP usually stays around 124/68

Who would you recommend? Should get test e or test c or does it matter?
Thanks,

Doesn't really matter on the test e or test c.

Had PSA done. Numbers are good and had rectal checked. Doc said it felt normal and no blood.

Cholesterol and hematocrit are the only things that really get out of range for me. Blood pressure gets a little elevated sometimes, too.

Welcome!

Looks like you are on a good medical footing to start down this path...

Trying to get everything check out and to have a baseline.

Working with doc to try and get test. I am researching running test and deca. Also checking out what I need for a pct.

If you go on TRT through a doctor you won't need PCT.

Exactly. OP, TRT is intended to be permanent.

Well, I just found no TRT. T levels are in range. They said they will check again in about 3 to 6 months.
Now I guess I will look for alternatives.
