I’m 45yo 5’6"@220lbs. and have been lifting for about 5 years on and off.As anyone our age knows, gains come oh, so slowly… I’m considering a small 6-8 week run on something. From what I can get informationwise it would seem tha D-bol would be a good choice for mass gains. Anybody with any constructive input would help.By the way, I’m already on Androgel 7.5mg HRT which gets my pathetic levels up to around 800ng/dl. Thanks, timhlbrk
Go to the Steroid section and at the top is the steroid newbie thread. DBOL only cycles work for some and not for others. Chances are, you will get advicesomething like:
500 MGS of Test for 12 weeks
DBOL for the first 6 weeks
That is a typical 1st cycle. I started when I was 41, and have been at it a while…by the way 800 is not to shabby, plus you could probably run a cycle and cruise on your HRT levels and keep quite a bit of the gains…good luck.
If I were you I wouldnt use d-bol. It will pile on the poundage but as soon as your cycle ends the weight will drop off…
Over40, thanks for the reply, the only reason I was considering d-bol alone was the fact that I can order it as paper.I worry about trying to get injectables through the mail.I am toying with the idea of using some “cat” on the net, any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks, timhlbrk
p.s. what do you mean “cruise” on my hrt levels?
Jonnybravo,
thanks for the reply.I took over40s advice and did some more homework… I guess I’m not gonna get away with an oral only cycle and keep the gains or not beat the shit outta my body. I’m just a little leary of ordering injectables through the mail…
At your age and height, 220 is already a pretty decent weight. Suggest you try something that will not add lots of mass, but will help lean you out and add strength and quality muscle, such as anavar. If you keep the dosage sensible (say 60mg ED) and the cycle to a reasonable length (no more than 7 weeks) the side effects are manageable.
Response to this dosage is obviously an individual thing, but I’d be surprised if you weren’t happy with the results.
What I mean is that steroid gains will at some point diminish if you don’t get your test levels back up after the cycle. I had my T levels checked twice, 1st one was 318 and then a year later 600…I have spoken w/ my doc about HRT, but I am not ready to make that leap yet.
Let’s say you run a cycle and add 15 lbs of muscle over 10-12 weeks, just go back on your androgel and keep your test levels at 800 or so and you’ll keep a lot of the gains.
Ordering over the net can be tricky, you need to really know who your dealing with. Here are the risks by priority from my view:
- You get scammed and lose money.
- You get your stuff and it’s fake.
- You get a controlled delivery and get busted.
That is if your order domestic. Ordering international is a whole other set of risks.
You can mitigate these risks by doing your home work and finding a “trusted source” if you look in the right places. Good luck…
sharetrader,
Thanks for the response, I appreciate any help given.
over40, again, thanks…
I will continue to research and do my homework…
