Hello folks, it's great to be back here. I've been offline for a while due to injuries, and the hospital wasn't a pleasant atmosphere... No live porn despite the hot nurses. Dang films about them have me all confused now.
Seriously though, I need to recuperate, and my question regarding the cycle I am planning on taking has a caveat regarding my mental health, and physical wellbeing. A little bit about me first:
So, I am feeling a bit weak now a days. The meds they gave me affected my libido, serotonin/dopamine, metabolism, etc. Recently the doctor gave me some modafinil after discussing my problems with him, but he's not a sports guy, so that's the only thing he was willing to prescribe to help my mood swings, and alertness. It worked. I am now starting to go to the gym, barely though, and feeling motivated again to get into the swing of life.
My concern is choosing between the following options:
** The caveat is: If I do option 2, I am taking huge risks. However, option 3 is more risky for me as I feel a sense of safety with it despite what it might entail. Meaning, how will it affect me if I start my training and taking a Test-E cycle, with PCT afterwards (20 weeks max prior to PCT as in the article cited in the sticky about first cycles on the forum here)? Will I reach a similar plateau eventually, or would it have been better had I waited a few years until I reached it naturally, and then boosted past it? I know the cycle would automatically peak my performance at the gym, and so that may be irrelevant, but ultimately I am curious to know if I would reach higher peaks in training if I waited (considering my age as well and problem). If I don't wait, and start a cycle immediately, will I still be able to reach my genetic limit at the end? Does that make sense to you?
Ok, so here's the cycle I was considering (option 3):
Future Cycle, if I am not dead or distracted by heavy nurses:
Any constructive criticism, advise given, or encouragement appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from others. Peace.
Seriously though, I need to recuperate, and my question regarding the cycle I am planning on taking has a caveat regarding my mental health, and physical wellbeing. A little bit about me first:
- I am 41
- 6'0" tall
- 200lbs (roughly, maybe a bit more but I won't say)
- currently at 23% bf (i know it's high, that's part of my problem as well)
- Used to train well, on a regular basis, even had a professional trainer for a year or more. I got lean (10% bf back then), and felt good. I know how to exercise safely.
- Never taken SARMS, Roids, Prohormones, etc. Just some whey and creatine long time ago.
- My diet has always been lousy, I have a sweet tooth, esp. for women. lol seriously, I do.
- I've spent a lot of time reading these boards (including stickies)
- I have a great urge to try Trenbolone (you know the recent saying "eat clen, tren hard"), but I will avoid it for now as per the majority of the advise given here.
- Was a forest firefighter for a couple of seasons. Loved the work, felt great, fantastic shape (not massive, just lean and strong) until I had an accident driving home to my mom from B.C. It was urgent so I had to leave B.C, nonetheless I am still here half way through. Thank goodness for my younger siblings, mom is ok now.

It worked. I am now starting to go to the gym, barely though, and feeling motivated again to get into the swing of life.
My concern is choosing between the following options:
- Should I train normally, take years to reach a plateau, and then consider a cycle to gain size in my upper body (my legs are awesome, but had scrawny arms all my life, even with a trainer).
- Use Tren and go big, like captain fap.
- Do it normally like you suggest (Test-E/pct), but not wait as in option 1. I will mention the cycles I am looking to do bellow.

Ok, so here's the cycle I was considering (option 3):
- No cycle boosters, no clen either.
- Test-E, 20 weeks (500mg weekly). Arimadex on hand for during cycle (not PCT) in case of gyno.
- Possibility of oral Winstrol/Stanozolol (50mg EOD or daily if required, for the SHBG binding affinity). I imagine EOD should be ok since I am already pinning Test-E.
- Possibility of Anavar/Oxandrolone (last portion of cycle, 4 weeks or more, 40mg daily).
- PCT: HCG and nolvadex (not certain on dosage/daily, 4weeks?).
- Looking at 23G 1" needles for Test-E and HCG injections, or should I be getting 25G ones?
- Notice: was looking at using SDrol alongside my cycle, if I try this a second or third time around. Not the first time.
Future Cycle, if I am not dead or distracted by heavy nurses:
- Tren ace (not certain on dosage or timing). No Test base (I know).
- Dbol (not certain on dosage or timing). Cause I am not doing a Test base.
- Clenbuterol (daily 40mcg or something)
- Possibility: Anavar (cause it's good with Tren from what I read here)
- Possibility: Winstrol (oral 50mg daily)
- PCT: HCG, Nolva, maybe Caber?
- Notice: I read HGH might be good for naturally producing Test while on Tren, but not certain if wise. Probably would avoid it regardless.
