+ 3 Pre cycle bloods

Hey fellas,
Planning on running a cycle in two weeks 400mg test/wk for 16 weeks. I have everything on hand ready to go, just wanted some feedback on the blood work to make sure everything is good to go.
This would be my second cycle, I previously ran 500mgs test/wk for 12 weeks but that was 10 years ago. Decided to stay natural until I had my kids & now here I am.
Planning on running future cycles so wondering if its not even worth it to pct with my test/igf levels at my age (35). Also looking on some opinions/ feedback in regards to that. Any help/ knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Are you ready to commit to a lifetime of once or twice weekly injections? Its get real old I promise. 10 years was a long time ago. The way your body responds now may be very different than it was when you were 25. What happens in 2 or 5 or 10 years when you lose interest in running gear? Still gotta take your weekly shots unfortunately.
I don’t think I’d willing crash decent test levels given your current situation. Plus, there’s some meds you can take to further boost your natural levels. keep PCTing until you either no longer recover after the proper amount of time off, or you’ve got about 50lbs more muscle than you do now and you no longer can hold onto gains with your natural levels.
Yea man that is also my thinking, makes sense what you say. I have everything on hand for PCT, was just toying with the idea. Will commit to the pct and then re access from there.
Can you list which supplements you are currently taking ? Citrus bergamot is a good one for lipids.
Test dosage is solid. Not sure which AI you’re using but make sure to get bloods to adjust appropriately.
Best of luck on your cycle bro!
Not taking any supplements right now other than multivitamin but have been eating quite a bit of saturated fats. Lowered the sat fats since the blood test and will definitely supplement something for lipids on cycle. I will look into citrus bergamot, thank you.
Keep an eye on that LDL. Starting at the upper range pre cycle would be a concern for me. So research some supps to help with your lipid profile and try and keep the LDL under control. Androgens will make that rise higher .
Also, if 35 and have all your kids you want, why not cruise after? Would help you keep your gains
Yes looking into supps for on cycle, going to monitor that closely.
And in regards to cruising just not sure if I want to commit to pinning for life as of yet. Going to run this cycle, planning on a pct and then re access from there once im ready for the next one.
Totally understandable and is a big choice to make.
To get you started, supps like citrus bergamot, berberine, omega 3s, red yeast rice and psyllium husk would help with LDL. Also staying away from fried foods and limiting processed foods will help. Best of luck bro
Test only cycle ? Why?
why add more potentially harmful drugs and side effects when you’re still gaining with test? Milk test for all it’s worth. Test isn’t going to stop working after 1 cycle, and at 5’10 175lbs. Dudes got plenty of growth left with just test. If and when test stops working then you add another drug.
Ofcourse you can do whatever you want, but in the interest balancing the risk reward of this you should use the least amount possible that still produces results.
More isn’t always better. He’s been out of the game for a decade, nothing wrong with 400mg/w of test. I’m on 250mg/w and my levels are over 2,000ng/dL.
OP should see some good gains with this cycle after being natural for so long.
