Long term blasting & cruising.
Good day all!
Thought I would bring my info over here 
Well a bit about me..
I am 40 years old and I am on what could be considered my 3rd cycle. I say it in that manor because I had done two previous cycle before deciding on blasting and cruising from now on (started in march).
My first cycle was test E alone I went up about 25 lbs and retained about 10 after pct.
Second cycle was test E and deca. Up 20 lbs and again kept about 10-12 lbs after pct.
Third cycle has been test E, equipoise and recently added tren ace. I was up about 30 lbs on this cycle so far but I decided to do a summer cut and used eca stack (long before adding the tren) and I lost close to 20 lbs of fat and water weight. I was quite shredded but started (10 %) feeling small again.
So back to bulking and I am up another 8 lbs in about 2 weeks.
I was off the eca a full week before adding the tren and I am loving it!
I had to get used to the elevated aggression and keep that in check but no biggie
Current doses are:
350 mg of test e per week
500 mg of EQ per week
75 mh of tren ace per day.
I plan on switching my test to test C soon..
My starting weight about 2 years ago now was 145 lbs! at 5' 7" tall
At my peak I was 196 lbs I am now sitting at 184 lbs and on the climb again.
I hope to hit 210-215 before cutting down to a competitive size.
So yeah so my natural test production is at it's low point now and I have already had my kids and I love being on gear and plan on staying on it for good in the least on a trt or hrt dose.
I'm thinking about competing next year in either npc or bodybuilding we'll see..
I have a supportive wife who love the gains and my self confidence oh and of course the libido haha
The confidence has been a great added bonus! I have taken on new challenges over the past two years that I probably never would have without that alpha male syndrome.
I went back to school and became a personal trainer.
I asked the woman of my dreams to marry me and did that in march 2012
In my current day job I set the boss straight on how things should run and got a promotion and a raise.
The boss actually said straight up how he admired my confidence right before giving me my raise.
I have my blood checked every six months or so and all checks out ok; cholesterol, liver enzymes and blood pressure all in the normal range.
I read often on this site but this (I believe) is the first time I am posting.
I found my source through this site and have been extremely happy!
So thanks for reading
I'd be willing to answer any questions if anyone has any.
Have a great day all and keep smashing that weight!

Canuck, Great Post! I myself am 54 and as I posted a few days ago, I lost my zest for working out altogether without gear. I went on my 1st cycle in almost 30 years!!!.... 4 months ago, that lasted for 12-14 weeks.It was 500mg week sustanon and 30mg. daily d-bol.
I feel similar to you. I feel that if I was 24,not 54, id have too much to lose with long term gear use. But my libido is shot without viagra anyway , So what can I lose? I have lousy medical insurance and cant get tested as often as I like, but I wont go insane with the dosages anyway,maybe stay the same but go to enanthate and prop. No dbol or sust. but i did notice it actually took me 12 weeks of sustanon and d-bol 500mg week-30mgday to really start seeing improvement, so I think at my age I need at least 6 months on to really see what a younger guy might see in 3 months.And a CLUE is that when I did my very first cycle at age 22, I thought the test and deca wasnt doing much as I only gained 11 pounds,with little body fat loss ,but....the whole cycle was 12 weeks.Back in the early 80's,we thought that was plenty.lol Second cycle a year later also 12 weeks , but with deca and dbol.... I got about the same result. but in both cases my libido was off the hook! So even when I was young, short cycles were a waste of my time. And I aimed for 300gms protein daily at 168 lbs at 5'9. Now I am 173.Same body fat after a 15- 20 yr layoff from the gym.Then and even now I cant consume nearly that much. I think my ally will be time on cycle, not gorging with protein. So now I ask myself, if I stay on for 6 months, what if I feel so good and look so good(if not I'm off of it on a dime anyway) that I dont want to stop 6 months and repeat the whole damn cycle.......why not just stop 30 days and see what happens and go back on? I have a low acting thyroid condition doctors cant fix for 12 yrs now. So if I am going to feel lethargic and sleep 12 hrs a day, I may as well enjoy the other half of the day, right? I just want to gain 15 pounds and let 12 be muscle and increase my sex drive and overall energy.
My question to you is: what do you,(or I)do if eventually the lab tests dont come back good?If especially liver enzymes are climbing? cholesterol we can play with imho,liver???....uh-uh. For me, im figuring Id tweak my SERMs and change a few things just ONE TIME, BUT IF SECOND BLOOD TEST SHOWED NO IMPROVEMENT ID HAVE TO EITHER STOP all gear, OR CUT THE DOSE DOWN AND GIVE UP SOME BENEFITS. How do you feel about that strategy?
PS-LET ME ADD that even in my 20's, working out without gear, was a waste of time as far as energy expended vs. results gotten. I'm not a natural to say the least. In fact, I have Arnold's genetics....reversed! LOL
Im thinking of 250mg weekly of both test enanthate and deca as my core 30 weeks a year dose, maybe two 10 week blast cycles OF DOUBLE THAT for cutting or whatever tuning needed, and maybe 8 weeks off. Yes, in the states we have 58 week years. LOL ...but you get the general idea,yes? -)
Id actually be happy if could just gain 15 pounds of muscle and keep it, have most of the libido I had from my last good cycle, and not need to sleep so much and have more vitality or energy. I dont want 20 inch arms or for women to faint. Just to know that when I walk up to the bar in a club, I got the best body, and being Im not the best looking guy,the women there all know about the body! Can i maintain that for 5 or 6 years and then either stop altogether or go on perm. maintenance,whats that called...trt?
great post and thanks for the interest in mine.
First to answer your Q about if liver enzymes were climbing I would go to a trt or hrt dose for a few months and repeat blood tests. If your not taking any orals and hrt/trt dose should be enough to help keep the gains, keep the libido and keep the hunger to lift alive. It will mean less gains but if thats what we got to do to keep the health meter in check we will do it right?
Also before getting blood work done take a few days or even a week off of the gym because even just the lactic acid build up in the blood can add to the elevates liver enzymes. Also stop all viatmins and anything else that is first pass on the liver and dose up the milk thistle, liv 52 and nac
Next when doing a cycle of deca and test you want your test higher than the deca to stave off deca dick and you will want caber on hand for any prolactin sides.
Decan takes at least 8 weeks before it really kicks in so it isn't for short cycles like 12 weeks anyways I would say minimum 20 weeks with deca or even EQ
Not sure if you live in the states, but privateMD had very reasonable tests, discreet, no dr. orders needed, you do it all yourself, and you can usually find 15% off. I go this route. Dr. costs alot and insurance always balks at paying.
I posted a progress picture in the self shots section
I sent you an FR. I started TRT and would like to get some advise on blasting. Thanks
question: How do I upload a picture?
