cycle of AAS at 46

[bronx curl]

I have never done any cycles before I'm 46 years old and I consider myself in good shape I have been training since I was 30 and eating healthy most of the time, I got divorced a few months ago and I wan to improve my look by getting more muscular, do you think running 600 mg of test a week for 12 weeks at my age the chances of shutting me down would be higher than usual? again, this is the first time I will do any AAS cycles, thank you.

all AAS will shut you down. it is all about how you recover. running a proper PCT and allowing time off in between cycling steroids is your best bet to recover

you def want to run pre cycle blood work to see where you are.

It does not really make much of a difference, if you use AAS when you are 35, or 45 - as long as you do this properly, there should be no problems.

The age is an issue only with the younger guys, who should wait until their hormonal system gets stabilized.

Age makes no difference when it comes to shut down. When you run steroids you will absolutely be shut down. This is just part of the game. A good PCT will help you to a "soft landing" while your body recovers. This is just a decision you will have to make.

Follow the guys advice with one tweak - drop down from 600mg to 500mg. You'll do just as well in my opinion. In fact first cycles are often the best. My preference is for a slightly shorter cycle (8-10 weeks) but others say 12-16 weeks for a test cycle.

I agree 100% with what everyone above has commented.

A simple testosterone cycle of 10-12 weeks at 400-500mg/week is your best option for a first cycle. Being new to steroids, your body will hyper respond and you don't need a very aggressive cycle. It's very similar to an 18 year old having their first drink. A single drink really hits them because they have never drank before. However, a more experienced drinker would need much more alcohol to get the same effect.

In this article series I explain how to do injections -> https://www.evolutionary.org/forums...er-injection-techniques-–-part-2-a-49351.html


Here's what I recommend:


Weeks 1 - 10
testosterone e or cyp 500mg/week (inject 250mg twice per week)
aromasin 12.5mg every other day <- very important to prevent against estrogen related side effects like gyno and water retention.


After your cycle run the perfect PCT protocol: http://www.evolutionary.org/the-perfect-post-cycle-therapy-pct/
