over 40 and starting 1st cycle

[Trogers40]

Im 41 years old, Ive worked out on and off, mostly on for last 5 years. I lost 40 lbs a year and a half ago. I have seemed to come to a stand still in my weight loss and muscle growth. Im thinking of starting a cycle of test and deca? Any helpful hints and pointers? Anything would be appreciated.

That sounds like a fairly heavy first cycle to me. It's up to you of course, but I think guys typically choose an oral for their first cycle. The main advantage for a first timer is that if things go wrong you just stop taking it. Sort of lets you test (no pun intended) the water a bit before jumping in. Just my 2 cents.

Your first cycle is generally test only, this way you can see how your body reacts to one compound first. I would make sure that you have your diet on point and your bf% is at a good level. Educate yourself really well and make sure that you have all of your ancilliaries on hand before you start a cycle... Blood work is vital before as well so that you can monitor your levels.. good luck my man.

hey big guy im the same age started my 1st course 3 and a half weeks ago done alot of research before i started i my choice was test prop and primobolin wudnt be as strong as what you had in mind but as compudog correctly said test the water with something not so strong see how your body reacts i took test prop the 1st week it goes out of your system very quick so if you encounter a prob you can stop and its out of your system fast after a week all seemed fine so i added primobolin again it wont stay long in your system if you encounter any problems im 3 and a half weeks into my course all looks fine good quaility lean gains and good reduction in body fat not sure of % bodyfat but i looked muscular before i started now muscles look more more defined strength gone up quite a bit aswell,best of luck hope this is of some help to you

test alone 400-500mg a wk

just read on this site, over time you will learn pretty much everything you will need to know to run a proper cycle.

I agree with the test cycle 400-500mg a week. Most importantly you will gain strength and size pretty fast if it's your 1st cycle, therefore proper form/technique and a good work-out routine is essential to avoid injury. Just my thoughts...

 

[Trogers40]

Thanks again, all good information. I do appreciate the help

What are some options on test 325, once a week and D-bol - a week on and a week off in rotation to start the 1st cycle?

 

[ambulldog]

as others have said test only for 1st time is plenty. also running prop would be a decent idea, again as others have said, if you run into problems of any sort you stop and its outta your system pretty quickly

My first cycle was dbol and test e. 8 weeks then pct and I got good gains from that alone. And I was only doing

 

[shaw720]

Sorry hit send button. Anyway 500 mg test a week split into 2 inj. Started with 15 mg dbol ED and climbed weekly to 30mg ED. And gains where good.

New Question, my wife is 35, she also has competed in figure competition. She is curious about Anavar but also nervous b/c she has never tried anything. Any opinions or experiences would be welcomed. Thanks

she should be nervous. at 35 why bother with a hormonal or for that matter as a woman why bother with a hormonal. if you want some real insight post this ? in the female section and wait to hear what rosie has to say

My wife is 49 and has trained for a few years. She had a set back 3 years ago when she had spinal decompression fusion surgery on her back.
She's back to training, was curious about "trying something" and started a cycle about 6 weeks ago. She's taking Anavar (20mg per day), Novaldex (20mg per day) and T3 (25 mcg per day).
She is really starting to get lean and looks great! The only side effect so far is she is relentlessly horny all the time! Almost a nymphomaniac (but that's such a bad thing)!

I myself am in my late 40's and have done a couple of cycles over the last year. First cycle was mild, Win V tabs and Anavar tabs. I gained about 8 lbs of good hard muscle.

I later did a cycle of Deca (400mgs per week) & Test 400 (400 mgs per week) and have put on 22 lbs. Even pushing 50; you can put on some good size and muscle quality & get really strong!

Good Luck!

The principal drawback of Anavar is its c-17 alpha-alkylation. If you’re not new to the world of synthetic steroids, you must have heard about the warnings with regards to the dangers of 17aa orals. Steroids with this chemical alteration can damage the liver...

Winstrol's most serious side effect is that liver damage may occur. This is more likely with the oral form of Winstrol than with the injection. Anyone that has a family history of liver problems is at an even greater risk.Winstrol is also an c-17 alpha-alkylation...

My point is.......never take two[2] orals at the same time[17aa orals]
