I have been lurking here for perhaps a year, and recently jumped in. I have learned a ton by just reading and the reading some more.

Here's my situation. I welcome any and all comments and suggestions.
I am a former marathon runner and triathlete who has been supplementing with weight training for over 20 years. (I am now 49.) About 6 years ago, I retired from triathlons because the time in the saddle was not being kind to my prostate, and I was always worn out and injured. At that time I also found that my test levels were really low (170). My MD and I discussed and I started TRT knowing that this would be a lifelong commitment. I currently use 2 x 5gram (100mg. test) of Androgel/day...and it has worked great for me.

About the same time, I began to put my energy into lifting.
And give it the same serious training that I did in running and triathlon.
Fast forward 6 years, and I have put on about 25 pounds of lean muscle (at 5'9"/175lbs./10-12%bf now) and look and feel good. I eat clean. I recently did a 10-week cycle of anavar only and it added a few pounds, kept me lean and added a hardness that I like. I chose this because I am trying to be as cautious as possible about messing with my TRT and it was a pretty safe choice.

I am going for bloodwork in late June; includes test levels, estrogen, etc. (Btw, never had a problem with estrogen levels.) Sometime shortly after this--provided the baseline looks good, I am going to try a 12-week Sust cycle at a modest 250mg/week...likely 2x 125 pins/week. I am looking for some weight/size/strength gains here. I am running Sust only as this is my first test-based cycle and I want to closely monitor the response without trying to separate any possible effects of another agent in the stack. I am patient and want to do this as smart as I can, and build on it in the future with the knowlege gained here.

I have the gear and ancillaries, except for AI. I am going to get some aromasin and am wondering if I should run it concurrently or hold it if necessary...given the relatively light dosage of Sustenon. My thinking is that I would like to see how my body handles the hit, and address any signs of gyno etc. if/when it happens. All that said, I don't want to run elevated estrogen levels as this can aggravate my slightly enlarged (but symptom free) prostate.

I am experienced with injections, I do IM B-12 and don't see this as an issue at all.
So what do you think? As I said, I welcome all comments and suggestions.

Thanks, Jason
