Is it beneficial doing 1-2 cycles per year over 40?
Hey,
Am into my 40s and have been strength training over 20years. Apart from 2 short mild (and uninformed!) cycles in my early 20s, I have trained naturally up until last year when I tried some orals. The reason I did so was because I hadn't made any progress in 2 years and was feeling drained quite often. I reckon I may be close to my genetic limit, and possibly my test levels might not be as good as they once were. I haven't been to see a doc.
The orals certainly gave me a boost and my I broke through some plateaus. I am now currently on a 12 week test cycle of 500mg per week and feel great. Lots of energy in the gym and am liking the transformation in the mirror.
My question is, how likely is it I will go back to square one when I come off the cycle? Even with a good PCT am I likely to lose my strength gains? Am I doing more harm and wasting time/money only doing 1-2 cycles a year?

Let me know how you get on Bronzeman im in Ireland too and over the 40 mark too and im going to do the test e cycle in next 2 weeks so would be interested to see your results. The last couple of years ive changed dramatically in my own ways, lack of libido, tiredness but not being able to sleep properly, lack of energy and all sorts.I havent checked my bloods at all but may consider cruising after my cycle has finnished. Good luck old fella ....lol
lol
Thanks for the replies. I'm using test enanthate at the moment. Blood pressure is fine thankfully. I've heard good things about Tongkat, I'll give it a shot.
Its probably best I get bloods done after PCT to see where I'm at. Just have to try to convince the doc - they can be a bit reluctant here in Ireland.
I can testify that for me the tongkat root works well.. I did not tell my girl I was using anything and about the 5th day on she commented about the thickness and how hard I was, and it is not like Viagra, this stuff puts you "in the mood" you have to get it from an indonesian supplier.. better quality..
pm me if you want my source... good luck
bronz.. what oils are you using? there are certain ones that you keep your gains longer and I myself started doing the same thing with 2-3 cycles a year and I do loose a little strength I do not loose that much size or definition. and do you have high blood pressure or are you a lucky one that does not? not sure I would do anything all year around but that is just me.. and as far as libido is concern I have found that after PCT if I take TONGKAT-ALI ROOT EXTRACT... if you are interested I have a good quality supplier but I would say just like anything else research it..
56tooBeing in your 40s u may want to consider staying (cruising) on test and never coming off. U can determine that by waiting 4-6 weeks after pct and getting bloods to see where your test level are. I WLD BET THEY ARE AT THE LOW END OF THE RANGE MAKING U A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR TRT.
yes ,cruise on the oil rig and when they cremate us it'll take a week to put out the fire laddy
