Post-50 years old PCT (or not) question

[jeffz]

I just turned 50. My question is, at my age, do I need PCT, or can I cycle for say 12 weeks, and then use 100 mg per week of test until the next cycle? Put another way, do I need PCT, or is it safe, effective, etc. to skip the PCt and use a low amount of test to maintain my natural test level between cycles?

My stats: 5'8"; 190 lbs.; working out for years; low body fat; excellent health; my goal is to gain quality size.

Thanks for your help.

so your on trt or are considering it? with the occasional blast?

I have access to injectible test so I can use it off cycle (at a low dose, about 100 mg per week). So yes, I guess I am "on" HRT. I have a prescription for Andro Gel at 7.5 mg/day (so 52.5 mg per week).

I hope that answers your question.

My history has been, use Andro Gel off cycle for 12 weeks, then go on cycle for 12 weeks (500 mg test/500 mg decca per week), and repeat ...

hope that answers YOUR question. post cycle therapy is apllied after the cycle. if your not cycling, why bother with pct.

But is what I'm planning to do safe? What is the downside?

Thanks and I wasn't trying to be a wise ass in my prior post. i was just making sure I answered your question.

what you describe is called blast and cruise, i think. but if your not on trt and start doing your plan, you may soon be a patient. to restore your natural function after your cycle you run pct. otherwise theres no cycling. your just on exogenous test forever. trt is not my area of expertise and while i may have interest in the dynamics, i have no plans for it unless necessary and i dont see that happening soon. shutting down your own test, only to be dependent on it from another sorce is crazy.

I am currently on TRT. I take Andro Gel, so, based on what I've read, I am "blasting and cruising" already. Without the cycle, I'm just (and still) cruising... My T was very low before I started with Andro Gel, so I will likely have to use some type of test for life anyway, thus my dilema...
