Winding down on my current cycle (and pre-PCT depression, moodiness, etc)
So I am down to the last 2 weeks of injections of Test prop before I start PCT and already dreading being off. My cycle was intended to be a 16 weeker but will be an 18 by the time I am done. I'm over 40, many cycles under my belt over the years, last one ended in June 2011 and started this one 4 months after. Had bloodwork done a month before starting and everything was in the "good" range except for my RBC count being slightly elevated.
Wk 1-5 30mg Lixus dbol/ed
Wk 1-10 800mg Lixus t400/600mg Lixus Deca (I'm not sure either has anything close to the stated ingredients or concentrations, I dropped the T400 after about a vial and a half)
Wk 3-7 350mg Optimal Labs Test Prop (I was getting nothing from the amount of prop that was supposed to be in the Lixus and added this, all of a sudden I had the "standard" prop effects)
Wk 3-10 500mg Optimal Labs Test E
Wk 4-18 250ius HCG 2x wk
Wk 10-16 300mgs Tren A (taking .25mg Caber e3d)
Wk 11-16 600mg Optimal Labs Sust (I really like this stuff)
Wk 17-18 350mgs Optimal Labs Test P
PCT consisting of 5 days of 250ius HCG, followed by Clomid and Nolvadex (I used .5mg liquid adex when experiencing bloating and/or gyno symptoms). Will also be using igf1-lr3 and cjc1295/ghrp6 while off.
I am very happy with my results this time around and am already looking forward to the next cycle. I'm up a quality 20 pounds of bodyweight (I got as high as 26 pounds up) with very noticeable body and strength improvements all around, even hit some all-time personal bests during this cycle. I've dropped a couple of points of bodyfat (but I'll admit that I cheated far too often on the diet this time around, but always at least 4k calories and 250g+ protein daily). The Caber really made a significant difference with the Tren sides I usually get. I have a tough schedule and can only lift 4 times a week; M/T and Th/F. I have found many excuses not to do cardio more than once or twice a week.
I'll never buy Lixus oils again and was pleased with the quality of Optimal Labs and the Lixus Dbol. Once I'm done with PCT I'm going back to have another round of bloodwork and a thorough checkup. I know the standard protocol, but I will probably only take off 2 months after finishing PCT before starting back. Next cycle will be a Test/EQ/Tren and possibly adding HGH. Debating on running orals to kickstart. I already can't wait; I've got some aggressive personal goals I want to achieve.

tread-mI would be interested to know the free test range you had pre-cycle. The reason I ask is "the good range" for your age is not a term I like personally. If they say "200 is normal for your age" I always feel like saying "lets talk about good range and leave the age off of it. Good is good at any age so if I'm 600 in my mid 40's thats very high for my age but a very good number for a healthy person. So lets talk about what a healthy person should be at and forget about my age Doc! So the reason I ask is rather than a mega high to a mega low considering the expected "norm for your age", why not trt cruise between if in fact you are low for a "healthy person" in the natty sense. As well, your peps and long igf will serve you much better with a trt dose and you don't have to feel like hell for months waiting for next cycle. Feel like hell is a relative term given your projected natty range as it is relative to cycle highs. A 25 yr old comes off of 1200 or higher but the natty is so high the relative thing is over very quick . In your situation unless a freak of nature and sitting at 500+ natty it will be a much different story.
Ah - I left that part out inadvertently; I was at 300 at the last blood test. My current doc is not a fan or even well-versed with HRT options. When I approached the subject with him he said that I was still a good distance away from where he would even consider it. When I had gone for the first visit prior to bloodwork I had planted the seed of all the low T symptoms I claimed to be experiencing; he had me disrobe for the exam and says, "you've got a lot a muscle for someone your age to begin with, even more so for someone with low testosterone. None of my HRT patients look anything like you." Great.
I had considered starting to blast/cruise, but I was concerned for the PSA/lipids/etc and he doesn't know I use AAS.
