Over 45 First Cycle Advice
I'm turning 46 next month and I have been training since I was 15. I have recently found out I have Low T Levels, around 250. I don't know if it's all mental but since I found out I seem to be feeling the effects...........anyway I am looking to try my first cycle. A test e cycle 500 mg week @ 250 per pin for 12 weeks. From what I've been told a test e only cycle is the way to go first time? I'm looking for advice on a pct and even if I should run an AI during the cycle or keep something on hand in case of strong sides, I have no idea how my body will react.............I'm working to lower my bf before starting, right now it's 18%. I'm 5' 9" 225 lbs. Is there a target bf percentage I should shoot for? My other concern is that I have high blood pressure. I am on meds and have been for many years, it runs in the family. I've lost 30 lbs over the last year and bp hasn't changed. I was planing to increase my omega 3, calcium, magnesium and vitamin c consumption, take taurine supplements, moderate cardio 4 days a week and really clean up my diet which I am trying to do now. Are there any other things I should try to help keep bp in check during the cycle?...........Any advice will be greatly appreciate!

RustyhookerDamn. I posted big note on here. Lol. It's gone...damn fat thumb!
Dude, get your Dr prescribed trt in order first. That alone with what your doing foids//cardio wise will do what you're asking. And no worry bout cops and arrests.
You may have low T, but that should not AND would not keep you from dropping your body fat % to acceptable range to tolerate cycling. This intervention can be accomplished with diet and cardio? Please explain your and cardio regimen? Thank you.
I can and will get my bf % down prior to starting a cycle. Right now my cardio consists of 40 mins EOD in the A.M. mix it up during the week with treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike and on Saturdays I train MMA with some friends in the morning. My bf was 30% about a year ago and I have gotten it down to 18% but I have slacked off recently. I'm confident I can get it down before starting. Was going to keep the same cardio routine just hit it longer during the cycle? Like I said I have slacked off recently and that includes my diet.....too many keg parties....lol.
Cool...good work. I like the equipment you are using too. Beer puts it on faster than anything...lol!! In addition, your MD may not want to treat your low T, so dont get frustrated if that happens.
I never look forward to visiting my Dr. All they want to do is write you script to put a bandaid on things and don't address the causes. Too much money being made out there for that to change.
Find out what your doc will do and keep us updated.
Like gear head said you should really talk to ur doctor about it and you really should get ur bf down to atleast 14% before cycling..now if you wanted to run a regular first cycle it would be a test e or cyp for 10-12 weeks 500mg test/week split up in two shots..need to run an a.i such as aromasin or adex everyday from weeks 3-12..wait two weeks from last test shot and begin clomid/nolvadex pct..100mg clomid/50mg nolva everyday for first two weeks then 50mg clomid/20mg nolva everyday last two weeks....make sure u get blood test 5 weeks in to cycle and Adjust the a.i according to what you estrogen level is, you don't want to crash ur estro cause some is needed for growth also get bloods post pct to make sure your levels return to normal.
I like this............helps clear things up for me. Gonna chat with PCP and get some answers on my Low T but after hearing from GearHead about TRT right now I'm thinking of not getting myself involved in a TRT program and going with a Test E cycle like you're spelled out for me above. Thanks for your expertise!
You need to talk to ur doc and get that straightened out before u start a cycle tho bro..u may not have low t and won't know until u have blood work done..if u jump on cycle you may never get ur levels back and be forced to be trt. and from what I hear guys on here say that are on trt is that its a pain in the ass..nobody wants to have injections for the rest of their life..just go to the doc first brother before you do anything else
Dang bro, I must just be the worst communicator on the planet. If you should elect to start experimenting with steroids with your testosterone level where it is and your age being what it is, you may never recover. TRT will not be an option that might make you feel better - it will become a necessity just to get you out of bed in the morning. No cycles before the TRT determination is made.
it's not you GearHead trust me............lol
No bro. You don't take it upon yourself to start self administering Testosterone because you have what you consider to be low T levels. You get that straightened out with your PCP or an endocrinologist should he refer you to one to get on a TRT program should that be the determined course of action. After that is taken care of you can come back here. In the meantime, you can reduce body fat without chemicals. I would suggest you participate in our diet clinic.

Thanks for the input GearHead! So you suggest that a TRT program perscibed by my PCP would be the way to go? I understand that a TRT program would only bring my T levels into the "Normal" range and it would be a program I would be on forever? I'll research this some more.............thanks for that link...very helpful! I have done quite a bit of reading up on types of steroids, cycles, pct etc but to be honest it's very confusing since everyone has their own opinions on what works best.
The TRT matter has to be settled first. It is a lifetime program and it will determine than manner in which you use steroids. If your doctor puts you on TRT, you will never be regaining natural testosterone production, you will not be "cycling" steroids - there is no PCT. It's a different world. Not better, just different. Your sperm count may drop to 0 and never recover leaving you sterile for life. I'm not saying it will happen, but it may happen. So, there are a lot of issues to discuss with your doctor.
A lot to think about. Guess I need a serous sit down with my PCP...........really appreciate your input!
