Cycle Critique

I am 44 years old and have been training for over 20 years. Most of this time I have trained “naturally” but I recently did a couple of small cycles because I feel that I brought my body as far as I could and I wanted to add some lean size. I did make some progress but I want to continue. I realize my age is a factor but I think I have a small window of opportunity to add size and strength, at least until I am 50.

Anyway, I am about 5’9", 190 lbs at about 12% bodyfat. My goal is to add some lean body mass. I am considering the following cycle and I really would appreciate some feedback as I really respect the info I am reading on this site.

Day 1 to 29: Sustanon 250 (250 mgs) EOD
Day 1 to 42: Tren (75 mgs) EOD
Day 17 to 42: Stanazonol (100 mgs) ED
Day 1 to 45: Nolvadex (20 mgs)
Day 39 to 58: HCG (500 mgs) ED
Day 46 to 50: Chlomid (100 mgs)
Day 51 to 60: Chlomid (50 mgs)

I know from having done some reading that Sustanon is not the Test of choice due to its long half life but I own 15 amps and would still like to use them.

My questions would be: should I do a longer cycle and run some deca or EQ with this. I also have some test prop that I could use. I added the Winstrol as I read that it has anti-progesterone effects and that could help with the aromitization of the Susutanon esters.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks guys. By the way, there is nothing like intense training.

I would add in the prop on day 30 when your sust is depleted and possibly increase the length of time with the Nolvadex into the PCT. Also, I want to throw this in about HCG. Although HCG does stimulate endogenous testosterone production, it doesn’t help in regaining the normal HPTA. The hypothalamus and pituitary are still down after a cycle, and stay this way while the HCG is being used. This is because the endogenous testosterone produced as a result of the exogenous HCG represses the endogenous LH production. Once the HCG is discontinued, then the actual PCT can begin.

Just my 2 cents worth…

Agreed with Chotto. If hcg is to be used, it should be during cycle, starting in about week 3 at 250-500iu per week and continuing this way through the last week of the cycle. In theory this should prevent or at least lessen the extent of suppression significantly.

Throw in a class 2 steroid for the first 16 days as well. You could run dbol or winstrol for 6 weeks as long as you don’t go overboard.

I would run your winstrol 2 weeks past you tren usage as tren is a hard drug to come off of cold turkey - very suppressive. and I second everything else that was said. And don’t worry about the liver and kidney damage - this is always overstated - as long as you are health, don’t have any preexisting liver/ kidney desease, you’ll be fine.

Thanks a lot for the input. It is advice well taken.

All the best!
