2nd cycle: test susp

[djsf]

I am 40 yo, 200lbs, 6'2", 8-10% bf, lifting for 20 years nearly continuously, have a lean, muscular build.

For my 2nd cycle, I am time-limited due to travel constraints, and I happen to have some test susp, so I am thinking to do a quick cycle. I don't have a specific goal, other than to put my body in an anabolic state and work out like hell to build some muscle for a few weeks.

My proposed cycle looks like:
Weeks 1-4: test susp, 75mg ed
arimidex
followed by pct

Simple and sweet. Any thoughts or comments on this? Is this about the right dose for a newbie? Ok not stacking it with anything? I have access to winstrol and anavar, but since the cycle is so short I wasn't planning to use them.

1rst. why so short? just due to travel?

I have to start late in order to satisfy the mandatory time off period I am using (1.5 x the length of my first cycle) and I have to end early because I'm leaving the country in December and won't be able to continue my cycle during my travels.

i'd throw in the var since you got it. or if you did'nt want to use it during. you could consider it during your pct. especially since you're running a short susp. run. var won't shut you down if you do a good dose and at the same time use everything you were going to do for your pct. i run so much gear throughout the year that i have to do 4 weeks of var then 4 of t-bol along with my pct. it works out great for me. it will help hold some gains from the short susp run too. imo.

although i have to say that i don't do suspension much. maybe only ran it 3 times in 18 years. can't explain it.

what's the point in doing PCT if you're just suppressing yourself while you're doing it?

bro, do you know what's going to happen when he shuts down a 4 week run of suspension? he might as well be doing 4 weeks of drol. 4 weeks of light var isn't going to hurt him trust me. it's such a mild androgen he'll still be fine during his pct. when i get done with my yearly run. it's at 77 grams of test just before my cutter then there's another 15 weeks of 6 other compounds and 150mg/day of prop with that and i still recover fine.

I agree with the theory that var could help preserve muscle during the PCT. I tried that after my 1st cycle and got decent results. Var did, however, keep me shut down and it lengthened my recovery more than necessary. So I'm not sure if the tradeoff is worth it. I think it might be better to try to re-establish endogenous testosterone as quickly as possible.

Maybe it's the painful injections?

Actually, that's one appeal for me... I have not yet done intramuscular self-injection. My first cycle was all orals. After 20 days of daily test susp, I should have no fear of anything I might ever need to inject in the future. Call me a massochist.
