I am preparing to start my first cycle at age 47 because why the hell not. Backstory:
18 months ago I was 240 lbs fat mess. Not musculature just doughy softness. Overt the last 18 months I have dropped as low as 166 lbs. I am now maintaining 180 ish pounds for the last 6 months with a caloric intake of 2700 cals (40% protien, 25% fats, 35% carbs). I am 6'4" and would estimate sub 10% body fat (scale says 11.5 and calipers are 6.5). I am currently on 100 mg per week (50mg twice injected) of Test Cyp. Current blood work:
Total Test: 650
Free Test: 137.8
HCT: 44%
Creatinine-Serum: 1.11 mg/dL
EGFR: 75.33 ?????
For my first cycle I plan to run for 12 weeks. I need a month to drop my levels back to TRT levels by May 8 when the doc pulls my bloodwork. I also plan on running my own bloodwork at week six to see where I am at mid cycle.
400 mg Test E per week - 2 doses of 200 mg M/Th
Arimedex if needed (dosage?? .5 the day after injection)
Up my caloric intake to 3k possibly 3.2k
Looking to bulk lean with minimum fat accumulation. I know there will be fat just don't need to do a dirty bulk. I don't want to have to lose the shape I currently have.
Current work out is using Fitbod App. I lift 5x a week. Two major muscle groups per day, 1/2 sets of abs, and a secondary muscle (forearms, traps, calves). Lifting take about 1 - 1.5 hours.
Any advise and guidance is appreciated. This site is a wealth of knowledge and love reading everyone's storys and learning from them. I plan to start a thread for my cycle and update weekly with progress pics and weights.
