Posted this in the Underground, but more people over here so figured I would put it up here to try to get thoughts and input.
6' 1", 40 years old, lifting since I was 18, with a couple of long breaks when life, college, etc. got in the way of the body building lifestyle. Experience cycling in my mid-late twenties, mostly with dbol and deca. Last time I was in what I would consider to be excellent shape was about 5 years ago. Came back after an extended break for career reasons and have been working to trim fat and get joints ready to handle serious stress again. (As a side note, muscle memory is remarkable and I'm amazed by how my body has responded when I started in after this extended break, it's like my body said "Hey, I remember this", and ran with it). Right now I'm sitting at about 230lb, haven't had bf tested but I would guess from experience around 15%. Ready to cycle again and wanted some input.
Was going to do 12 weeks of Test Cyp, 250mg, 2x week for 500mg per week. Was considering adding winstrol (50mg/day) for weeks 11-14, with nolva and hcg for PCT after last winstrol dosage. Also have Clomid on hand, but plan on just nolva and hcg, with Clomid on hand as a backup.
My goal is more to add some quality mass and lean out with a cleaner diet but not going as heavy on calories as if I was strictly bulking on something like dbol. Not interested in going back up to 260lb where I used to be. Plan on doing plenty of cardio (although with dbol certain muscles would cramp up when I would try extended cardio so we'll see if Cyp does the same) and hitting each muscle group hard once per week. Running winstrol may be problematic, only because I have had knee issues and I understand it can be tough on joints, and may run anavar instead. I have no experience with winstrol or anavar so maybe some of you can chime in on that. If it's just a matter of joint pain I can deal with that, but don't know if winstrol actually damages joints.
Have nolva, letro, dostinex on hand for potential prolactin and aromatization issues. Never had any issues with sides before, but also haven't cycled in over ten years and don't know how age will potentially influence that.
Anyway, any thoughts or input would be appreciated. Any experience from other folks out there my age with a similar history would be great.
