It’s all I can to get all this down. I don’t have the appetite I once did. We eat pretty healthy and avoid crap (high processed food) most of the time. Supper always has some greens!

I’m actually trying not to exceed 3000/day right now because my cardio is very low to nothing (knee problem and 12/23/10 knee surgery).

I don't think its your diet or training. I would drop the Arimidex. It could be what's killing your sex drive. Also, how long was your break between this cycle and your last? If not long enough (especially at your age), your receptors are worn out. You have to up the test intake to get good results again. Consider at least a 50% increase to 750mg/week.

He's done 8 weeks of a dbol only cycle (???)
500mg of test for 8 weeks
and is currently in week five of his second test cycle. IMHO, I dont really think a moderate amount like 500mg over a short 8 week cycle would do anything to wear down his receptors.

I had read about the "Slingshot Cycle" by Ronnie Rowland (I forget if it's on this forum or another) where he says to do 8 weeks on then go off cycle for 2 weeks then back on for 8 again....repeating this indefinitely. During the 2 weeks off he gave options of bridging with a lower dose or dbol, or nothing. I chose to use nothing for my 2 weeks off. Also, after I posted a question about PCT during this 2 weeks, he said the use of clomid or the equivalent would not be necessary for such a short bridge, just mainly diet and lower volume lifting for this short PCT.

That's what my cycle technique has been based on anyway. It's definitely different from the normal AAS cycles I've read about, but he seems to really endorse it with many years of experience as do others it seems.

I originally did the dbol just to see how my body reacted before stepping up to test. I'm definitely learning and willing to consider (within reason) alternative options!

If estrogen gets too high that will kill ur libido...unless u plan on getting a blood test you will not know...I'm running test e with adex .5 eod and I'm horny as hell....maybe run hcg all the way through ur cycle @500iu 2x per week...with ur high bf% estrogen sides will increase...keep the adex..imho

How often would you guys recommend getting blood work done ?

Depends on how often you cycle. I would ALWAYS do it after running a cycle, but wait 8 weeks after you're done to be sure that things have returned to somewhat normal.

I know a guy who ran winstrol for 8 weeks, 4 weeks at 50mg ED and 4 weeks at 100mg, had blood work done 4 weeks after stopping and his ALT liver values were 304, the range is 0-40.

Wow. Was he taking any liver care or milk thistle?
