Prepping for second cycle, advice?

[RedXXSouth]

What’s going on guys? I’m about 3-4 out from launching second cycle. I went into cruise mode after 500mg Test C for 16 weeks. Cruising at 150 for 6 weeks then upped to 200 for past 4 weeks. I was going to pCt but at my age i don’t think it makes much difference.

I did great on first blast. Put on 25 lbs. surely not of straight mucscle but I was huge compared to my old self. Came off made difficult decision to cruise and held it for a good while then job pushed me out of town working 16 hours. Missed gym a lot. Coming off that now and about to hit it hard. Made arrangements to never do job like that again.

The only thing I am concerned with is accelerated hair loss. I’ve been lucky so far but I noticed post cycle before I upped dose I was shedding a good bit. I really want to make this one count and feel good throughout. Should I just up my test dose to 650-750 or add another compound. Was all the way up to 201lbs now back down to 185lbs. Appreciate any help

How long have you been consistent this go-around? Staying consistent on the cruise is just as important as on blast. None of the gains will mean anything if you lose them all. Try stringing together a few weeks of perfect diet and training, no missed meals or sessions. Then I’d suggest 500 test again and if you want to add another compound, 200-300mg mast or primo. This is assuming 500 test went well for you, you’re at a similar body fat percentage, and had no issues with excess e2 or high blood pressure

It went very well. For past 7 years I have been pretty consistent on gym. Last 3 years extremely consistent with gym. Last year on point with both. I didn’t expect to have to do this job and there is just absolutely no way for me to get to gym 3 am-830 pm and I got kids I got to feed when I get home.

Find your test limit before you need an ai. Say you try 750mg per week, can you tolerate the sides or maybe you can add more. If you find your peak dose then stop there, use that and squeeze what you can from that dose.

Maybe next cycle add primo to it or another dht. I will not recommend npp or deca because that will skew the equation into another direction.

How did you adjust your Test dose? Based on feelings or numbers?

Did you check your health markers recently?

If you were consistent with the gym and dial in your diet, you’d prob see some excellent results on your 200mg cruise.

That would be great but I still got another week on this job. Was able to get in gym yesterday. Once this job finished my schedule freees up

why wouldnt you recommend NPP? the prolactin/progesterone rise? thought about throwing this in on my second cycle as well. plan on running 600 test 600 primo. thanks.

If shedding and concerned you should get on the big 3

Minoxidil
Fin
Nizoral

Nizoral at minimum. It's just a shampoo

It's just my opinion. I would rather add a dht to find the top dose of testosterone I could handle without using an ai. Most guys have reported lowered estrogen with the use of primo for at a certain ratio, individual response varies of course.

With a nandrolone like npp, it brings out another factor too early in your ped journey, you will find that it heavily aromatizes and the possibility of having elevated prolactin which causes another set of problems.

So in short, making it simple and non complicated for a second cycle is recommended to most beginners, hell its the bread butter of older guys like me. Test and primo/Mast for bulks, milder and no gyno inflammations.

The fin side effects are devastating. Lol. But I am going to start something soon. I don’t think I am normally overly prone to male pattern baldness as I’m 38 and have most of my hair. Only after cycle did it really start coming out

It effects some. Yes it is very scary but those whom it effects is a very small number.

Do topical. I haven’t heard of any sides from topical. Just started mine, paid $200 for 6 months worth. Got raped.
