49 year old,....compete noob

[RSW1]

Start with some background. 49 years old, 5' 10", 195#'s, around 18% BF. Been lifting for 12+ years. Gym schedule 4x/week.
Never used gear.
Goal: Jump start my workouts, lean out a bit, gain some definition and some additional muscle.

Given my age, plus not reacting well to supplements/pills, I'm hesitant to go in too deep. So after some research into side effects, etc I'd like to start a cycle with the least intrusive profile.

I'm thinking Anavar would be a good start, then see where I can go from there.

Any other suggestions? I was thinking 40mg of Anavar for 6 weeks on, then using clomid PCT.

Anyone around my age with other suggestions, or, anything to add to my suggested cycle?

Apologies in advance for the noob questions.

Nice,5 years and just now posting,lol-Anavars not a bad choice its low on sides and toxicity but dont expect much,alone you may gain 3-4 lbs of muscle and lose a little bf% but overall most people are disappointed with it by itself,@ your age Id stay with the anavar but add 250 mg test e or c or even sustanon and do the anavar the last six weeks of the cycle youll see 10x the results with and you could probally even get the test for free by seeing your physician and talking about trt.

Thanks. I like what I read about the Test-e, sounds mild too. Being as I'm fairly prone to gyno, do I need anything else with the test-e?

Also, base on your suggestion, so I'd go with test-e for a few months or so, then take the ananvar on top of it? Or cycle off the test, then start the anavar?.

Again, apologies. I usually do my own DD with everything, but this is one confusing subject.

Weeks 1-12 test e @ 250mg
Weeks 6-12 Anavar @ 50mg everyday

Awesome, that's what I needed. So no real anti-estrogens or PCT needed?


Thanks

YESSSS you need PCT!!!! If your taking test and an oral it will shut your natural test production down!

PCT:
Unleashed and Post Cycle Combo
HCgenerate
Forma Stanzol
Armidex if you are gyno sensitive
Clomid

Needtobuildmuscle.com is where you can find the first 2 things

Forma Stanzol can be found at mrsupps.com

Armidex has to be found on your own bc it's a prescription type drug

personally I like letro for gyno prevention and treatment but armidex is fine. Use Hcgen while on through pct, so get two bottles. This will be a pretty mild cycle but noticable if your just trying to get a little edge and arent expecting huge gains this will be perfect.

Thanks everyone. As Flex suggested, I think my first stop will be my GP. With TRT going mainstream (hell they have commercials for it!), i'd think this would be the a non-issue.

Yes before you do shit to your body get a FULL hormone panel done so that way when you start changing your bodies hormone levels you will always know where normal is for you. Otherwise you will just be pissing in the wind when you try to get back to normal...

At your age (my age same) it is TRT time....

Just blast & cruise and forget PCT, which is worse than all of the worst sides fom the strongest AAS .i.e Tren & those are significant sides but HCG, clomid and all that other stuff is so much worse.

Tried a PM but it bounced so here:
Life is always a set of tradeoffs. 1st check your test levels with a blood test.If it is sub 400 the testes likely aren't doing much anyway. It is not like they will dissappear & fall off they just get a bit smaller. Heh less chafing when jogging. The hair loss may or may not be an issue. If you have a full head of hair a age 49, you likely won't loose any as you are protected genetically if it is thin already it might thin 10% but let's face it it is already thin and a great body with a 6 pack can make anyone forget a 10% thnning hairline.

The link to the prostate is really a bit of a myth. It is actually from low test or high estrogen. Think about it, males test peaks in year 17-21 so therotically adolescents would have big prostrates & they don't.

Now the good parts forget "boosters" it is all a bunch of snake oil. If your natural test is low just google it & take the questionaire. If you have the symptoms then you have more to gain then loose.

Having evergy to hit the gym hard 4x a week, hiking up mountains and watch 20 somethings have trouble keeping up,
improved mood, libido & focus make it very worthwhile.

You don't have to run super high levels either. You can get the gel which gives about 35mg a week each pack is 50 mg but you loose 90% because the skin is effective at keeping substances out. If you are not too squeamish about needles you can inject about 150 to 200mg a week and you are basically feeling like a teenager again. I used to hate needles I think it comes from the trauma of being injected when young in a doctors office, just a normal fear reaction. Now as adults when you do it your self it is really almost painless. I look forward to injection days as first few days feel really great.

Oh finally, costs the gel costs $350/mo yeah very $$ the injectable about $20 per month which makes it affordable if your insurance dosen't cover it.

Last 4 years have been the best of my 40's for what it is worth. Hopefully you find 1st hand observations useful
