OK, I just joined this forum. Let me tell you a little about myself and why I decided to come here. I'm about to turn 35 and have been working out my entire life more or less. I have a home gym that I've built over the last year that covers pretty much everything. After having kids I slacked for a few years, gained some pounds, etc.
At my peak weight I was maybe 245. Basic dieting, working out, and etc has got my weight down to 220. My target weight is 200. My upper body is well developed and I can already bench 300, probably higher but I don't try to push things so much right now. My workout is self improvised over the years (I've had some good trainers early on) -- it works and I get good results.
I've been to the doctor and have been diagnosed with slightly low testosterone levels. In the last couple of years this has impacted my libido but so far not my workout.
My goals are:
*) Weight control
*) Better shape
*) Long term cardio-vascular health
*) Joint health
*) I do a lot of cycling. Interested in improving my endurance there.
Not so much interested in body building. Just want to take my workout to the next level. Not looking to get huge, etc.
I want to do this right. I do not want to underdo it or overdo it. Still early in the research phase. Right now my first thoughts are to get started with a testosterone e cycle, do the PCT, get some blood work done and see how everything stacks up in terms of my overall health. From what I'm reading, injecting is the way to go so that's what I plan to do.
OK, my questions are:
*) for first cycle, I've heard test e is the way to go. Do you agree, and is there anything i should take with it to mitigate estrogen
*) My budget is about 50$/week max. Is this reasonable
*) Is there anything else that jumps out that I should read/learn about
