Advice/critique needed

This is a long post - I want to make sure that I provide all pertinent information. 49 yr old male, 6’3”, 235 lbs, 12% bf. I normally sit around 8-9% bf and weigh 225 lbs - more on that later. Been on TRT since 2010 @ 200mg/week. I’ve dabbled with sarms and some peptides a few times but nothing else. I’ve trained consistently since I was 20. I’ve always trained as a strength athlete and I powerlifted until I was in my early 40s. I switched to CrossFit at that time b/c I knew that powerlifting wasn’t good long term. Plus, I really enjoy the competitive atmosphere of CF.

Back in may i had a complete pectoral tendon rupture that required surgery to repair. That was an extremely painful injury. My pec was balled up in my chest and it looked I had a very large implant. After surgery, I continued to do CF workouts and scaled the movements to work for me. After a month or 2 in PT, I began going to a regular gym 3 days a week to work on range of motion and to try to build back some of the muscle that I had lost due to inactivity on that side. I added in extra calories to ensure that my body was getting the right nutrients to repair. From this, I have added around 10 lbs.

Fast forward to today. I have been doing a bodybuilding style workout 3-4 days a week and will do a CF WOD 2-3 days a week for extra cardio. I started researching gear that could potentially help me completely recover, build a little muscle, and strengthen my tendons. I landed on this:
350 test split into 2 injections per week
200 mg deca
20 mg anavar on workout days
I plan to run this for 20 weeks. Nutrition is on point as well as ancillaries. Blood work is spotless.

I am keeping the anavar dose relatively low so i can run it for a longer period. From what I’ve read in the studies, low dose anavar will aid in recovery especially in tendons. I am looking to add muscle with this cycle. However, I do want to keep the dosages on the lower side to mitigate sides.

Here’s where I am looking for advice. Is 200 mg deca enough? Should I bump the deca dose to 300? Also, I thought about adding super low tren ace at the end of the cycle (weeks 20-24ish) for 4-6 weeks alongside cardarine, methylene blue, and slu-pp-332 to drop my bf back into single digits. Thoughts on this?

Full stop here. No steroids will strengthen tendons. You still need to build up slow or you will get injured.

49 and you want to run, test, deca, anavar, tren, cardarine, methylene blue (you expecting cyanide poisoning?) and slu-pp-332, in one long cycle, and your question is, is the deca enough?

Enough for what?

If you’re looking to RECOVER and hopefully play the long game. Then adding PED’s just for the sake of keeping up with the overburden of training 6-7 times per week is probably going to lead to another injury.

Do you use methylene blue for lowering your iron levels? How much your planning to take?

If I were you I would start (ideally right after surgery but better late than never) BPC 157 injections as the only supplement/drug.

I would also stop doing CrossFit and find an actual training program appropriate for my age and goals.
