Another New Old Guy
This site rocks for all the info provided for people who want to improve their well being!!!
Have been lurking for several weeks, and finally decided to introduce myself. Started lifting again about 7 years ago. I have used only natural supplementation and cleaning up my diet up to this point, but I think that's taken me about as far as possible. Work out 3-4 days a week, depending on my work schedule, with a 3 or 4 day split routine.
I respond best to pyramid workouts, up in weight, down in reps, but have added drop sets to some of the exercises. Looking to add bulk more than anything.
I am researching the beginner's cycles but haven't decided, as of yet, whether or not to do one. Still in the 'trying to figure it all out' stage, I suppose.
By the new year I hope to have everything squared away with how I want to proceed. In the meantime, I'll keep reading. Thanks all!!!

Welcome! at 49 years old and now contemplating a cycle is pretty intense. Glad to see your efforts in trying to stay in shape! What is your primary goal?
Size, mostly. Of course reducing my bf% would be great too. But I have pretty much 'hit the wall'. Just looking to bulk up right now, and then start trying to lean out some later next year. Yeah, and being 49 and contemplating a first cycle is why I haven't entirely made up my mind yet, but any advice would be much appreciated, Brother!!!
I recommend to get a blood panel done so you can see where you stand as far as test levels and estrogen, unfortunately the older us men get the more estrogen due to the drop in natty test. It could determine a better approach because more is not always better when it comes to Pinning. You could get away with 250 a week as a starter then going up higher.
Thanks grygst72. The panel is on the agenda for next year also, to see where I stand. Then I will proceed from there.
Good idea, Stay for a while and ask all the questions you want, A stupid question is only one that was never asked
The questions will come, for sure!
I have found one thing in I am not doing correctly, in regards to diet, that will help greatly. Not getting nearly enough good calories in. I'm going to use a couple of the homemade protein shakes I've seen on here tonight, for starters. Thanks again!
