+ 3 Upcoming Blast
Hey everyone I am new to this site, but I am not new to this game.
current stats:
36 years old
5'6" 180 lbs(currently around 12%)
I have done 3 cycles over the course of a 2 year period encompassing all of 2002 and 2003. I have done test only for 10 weeks@ 500mg. Followed by pct and then 10 weeks of test E 500mg with 3 weeks dbol at 35mg a day, followed by pct. My final cycle was test E 500mg, EQ 400mg 10 weeks with a 4 week 50mg a day anadrol kicker, followed by pct.
Fast forward 10 years and I am now TRT with cypionate at 150mg weekly with hcg 2 times a week @ 500iu's each. Just recently(August 2013) I dieted down to 161 at 7% and didn't like the feel or look of being so lean so I have decided to aim for 200+. I have gotten back to 180 very easily and with nothing more than my TRT dose and good old fashioned food. I feel like I can reach 190 and stay relatively close to my current body fat. With that said I want to be over 200 pounds and was thinking of blasting come this September or October.
Since it has been so long since I have used anything more than a TRT dose I was looking for opinions on a 12 week blast with 500mg Test cyp and 300mg deca and then returning to the cruise of 150 test cyp. I have everything currently on hand as well as arimidex(doctor prescribed), aromasin and caber. Would deca be a good choice for a secondary compound or would I be better off running something different. I am not opposed to orals, but I do value my liver at this wiser age. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to Eroids...This site is a beast of information and all you have to do is research and then ask...it looks like you read the rules and are gonna fit in real good around here, especially having figured out that food is the key, before coming here lol...
General rule if thumb would be to say 10 years is a long time and you should start your body over with just a blast of test for a (re) starter cycle...but some of the other bros will weigh in and give you a good gameplan and guidance on if adding another compound is a good idea or not...all depends on your body bro.. Welcome again
Personally I would run another all 12 week test cycle. Because of the length of time that has passed since your last blast cycle. But I do a lot with a little as far as amounts of compounds, i too am very health conscious. I put a big emphasis on diet and intense training.
You currently run HCG on TRT at 1000ius a week? What was the reading on your last blood tests and when were they? More specifically your estrogen levels.
Was writing that while you sent yours..not trying to copy you sir
hahaha no problem brother the more info and confirmations the better as far as I am concerned
Cool. Its a nice change a new member comes on here with knowledge, reason and caution behind his cycles. Its been a circus lately
My thoughts exactly!
My total test was 1100(up from 300) and my E2 was 57(up from 17). I am totally unsure of hcg and am only using it because it is prescribed and don't want shrinkage. Could I get away with less hcg?
Whats your trt adex dosage?
Sorry man missed this. My prescribed arimidex dosage is 1mg twice a week. I take 1mg split into .25mg doses sun/mon/wed/fri. I thought 2mg would crash my E2. My break down has worked nicely, at least I think it has.
Yeah you want bring your estrogen down. Try 250ius of HCG 2 times a week that is the normal prescribed protocol for TRT. You will get less estrogen and at your testosterone dose there is no way you should need 1000ius every week
Ok, I will give that a try. My next question regarding the hcg is, how long it is good for? Package says 60 days refrigerated after being reconstituted. At half the prescribed dose I would be wasting 5ml's every 10 weeks. Is that 60 day guideline negotiable or would I be injecting useless hcg at some point? I am not worried about discarding since it is 10 bucks for the 10ml's I just hate wasting anything that is useful. As far as the E2 I forgot to mention the endo started me on 1mg of arimidex(on 1/22/2014) a week which i break up in to .25mg sun/mon/wed/fri. Thanks again.
It should still be fine it may lose a little potency but not that much. Believe me you would still be better to not use it then to gorge your system with it. You will become more immune and your estrogen will start to roll over from it. Are they 10000iu vials? I Those are what I get prescribed and I still use them past the exp dates this way and it is all good. Yeah your estrogen is a little high and it will most likely be higher when you blast, so you want to get that down. Personally I like aromasin for cycles it doesn't have a rebound effect. Which I would get when running HCG with arimidex on blast.
Ok, sounds great. I really appreciate all your answers. I will 1/2 my hcg dosage starting my next injection. I was definitely aware of my estrogen being elevated as far as how I felt. Do you think my listed arimidex is going to be over kill and crash my E2 when I lower the hcg? I am not due for blood draw for 8 more weeks. I am trying to dial this TRT in before I do anything more Test wise. Are you also suggesting that when I finally do blast that aromasin would be a better choice for an AI?
That is smart for sure I thought you were planning a cycle sooner. Because Deca will shut you down way harder than testosterone.
I don;t remember what your arimidex schedule is i looked but didn't see the dosage and days on. Some people have a problem with aromasin but if you don't I like it 100 times better than arimidex. Especially with HCG usage due to rebound. I crashed my e2 levels twice with arimidex and not once with aromasin. Also aromasin is less harsh on the system as well as considered and steroid.
Arimidex was 1mg a week split .25mg sun/mon/wed/fri. Doctor actually prescribed 1mg twice weekly, but I thought that would crash me in a hurry. I have been on it a month and have felt better since taking it. As long as my E2 is checked and I run an anti-prolactin like caber will Deca be that bad. I figured that due to being on test on a permanent basis I wouldn't have to worry about any kind of shut down as long as E2 and prolactin were in check.
After your advice I will definitely stick to Test only for this blast(most likely September/October 2014) and leave a second compound for 2015. I have so many questions regarding TRT and I am grateful that somebody with knowledge has taken the time to relay their experiences with TRT.
No problem I am sending you a friend request so you can pm with any questions. I think that is a good plan also when you cut your HCG back you will also be able to cut your arimidex back but not right away after a couple of weeks.
Dialing in your TRT first is exactly what I did for two years before my first blast. It is more complex imo than people think to get your own biochemistry figured out. Once you do and you have nice stable numbers than run that cycle
