Hi Everyone!
I'm a forty something , been working out most of my life, have some fat to lose (about 15 lbs is my best guess) but have a fair bit of muscle. 30 years ago i had back surgery to remove a disc so can't go too heavy on my legs - i usually keep the weight low and reps higher. I had some cholesterol problems (discovered during my bloodwork test 4 months ago) and am on a statin now (Lipitor 10mg daily) and these days the numbers are looking great. I also had a bout of SVT but its all cleared up now. Taking anticoagulants these days (for another 3 weeks) but the "factors" tests all came back negative and I'm feeling good. Once the anticoag shots are done then i feel i could start my cycle. I'm back in the gym and my self esteem is improving. I didn't seem to lose any muscle just put on some fat during my hospital stay.
As i am in a part of the world which makes this possible and fairly easy to start, I'm researching taking a first cycle (after I lose about 10 lbs of fat first). I'm considering taking 500mgs of Test-E a week (250x2 injected sub-q) for 10 or 12 weeks (depending), have Armdx on hand (for on cycle) and Clomid as a PCT. I don't have Letro or Amsin but could get some from the clinic if need be. No HCG planned as i don't want any more kids anyways but am keeping options open there with my doctor. I'll get my bloodwork done before i plan to start for the best baseline and final decision point and also halfway through and again towards the end. I've spent some months researching this and feel if i am gonna do this its now or never. No plan to ever compete or anything but just to get my cells expanded to help me with some new growth and fasttrack my strength. I realize i have to pick a goal to get the most out of this so for me its to build muscle. If i can lose 10-15lbs of fat in the next month and then start my cycle and get 10 lbs of keepable muscular gains then i will consider this a success. I'm leaning towards keeping the cycle shorter (at 10 weeks) as I've read that the longer you stay engaged the more likelihood of "damage" occurring. I considered frontloading and orals too but decided against it for now. I'm also happy to read that sub-q injections seem to be every bit as effective as pinning in the quads/glutes so thats why i am going subq.
I've always wanted to try a cycle and see how i react to this. If its all good i'll consider continuing in the future (or go on TRT) but if not then hey I've tried. I realize different bodies have different responses to Test-E. I'm not into experimenting with all the PHs, sarms etc or other unproven compounds. Everything i am taking is all Pharm stuff and doctor assisted along the way. I'd like to keep this as safe as can be with something thats closer to a human biological makeup (ie Test). If my numbers or sides during cycle are not great i can join a test clinic here to better manage things if my own backup plan doesn't pan out. They have a good PCT program at the male clinic here too. I've a tendency to store fat on my upper body so want to trim things up or i might confuse water gains up top with gyno. I'll post here regularly. Any questions, criticisms or other points, please do fire away.
