Get Shredded!
So I'm 59yo and 7 weeks into my very first ever real cycle, started w Test C at 300 & Deca at 300 p/wk spilt Mon and Thur. I've incrementally increased my dosing to the current 400 Test C and 350 Deca same dosing regimens. I've been using Milk Thistle, Saw Palmetto, Liv 52, and Glutathione. MT, SP and LIV52 at recommended doses and Glutathione at 100mg eod cut w Methyl B12 at about 50/40 split to cut down volume and PIP! I also recently added TB 500 and BPC 157 at 250mcg e.d. varying locations by pain complaint and am seeing great results there. Bloodwork was well within normal despite TRT prior to cycling.
Thanks to advice here I got realistic with my objectives and caloric intake and have been monitoring on Myfitnesspal....which initially was discouraging AF because I started out at 166lb on Jan 19th and never realized how much food 3000 REAL calories a day is! Today I'm at 172.8 and have somehow maintenance a 9.9% BF level cutting down Cardio by recommendation with 9 weeks left in cycle. I plan to return to TRT levels thus avoiding or minimizing the need for PCT.
I hit the gym no less than 4xs a week and since I'm a newbie I'm gonna rave about the straight up lack of day after pain and sick drive I get from this cycle! HOLY SHIT!
Hoping to attach some average workouts for evaluation to see if I'm doing enough?
My question now is that in my daily food intake I'm sucking down +/_ 32oz shake of BSN Weight gain 1200 with 1/2 cup raw oatmeal, a serving of mango chunks, 16oz of Almond milk and a medium banana and I know it's gonna sound newbish so be gentle plz...is this shake an OK addition? It's NOT a meal replacement as I'll usually do a couple if HB Eggs or something within an hour of eating it along with lunch, dinner and snacks in-between.
I am learning what to eat and totally recommend an app of your choosing to monitor intakes. I've added more beans and legumes as well as grains and yogurt and also trying to spread this shit out over a 12 hour day with increasing success.
I've not added any on cycle clomid, tamox, or any AI and honestly have had zero symptomology of boobs etc.
My average daily calories are just shy of 3000 based on a 0.5 p/wk gain plan and water intake is at 10+ servings a day.
Attached is a sample of my average workouts which generally last about 90 minutes. I know this ain't the most scientific log but I'm hoping y'all get the idea...its usually supersets unfortunately the majority of my exercises are on machines due to bum wrists and knees. I have been adding free weights up front to open up with and then take the machines to failure...unfortunately due to no workout partner...anyway that's my deal please lmk what and where I can improve. Thanks.
P.S. the plate load leg press and pretty much all my exercises are Pyramid up and down with higher reps on the last set down. Lower weights are one leg extensions. Unfortunately I can only post 5 pics at a pop but I assure there are a shit ton of exercises with every session.

Watching sir.
If you are going to go back on trt no need to pct.
Being that you have been running trt and know how you feel on test, adding deca was not a totally bad idea. What is your main goal? NPP might have been a better church but at 59 deca will definitely help keep the joints lubricated. The addition of bo157, I love that stuff, is a good choice as well.
Let me know if you have any questions. You have two years on me so we are basically in the same sand box.

So my goal is to go up 10-12 lbs before road bike season at which point I stop bulking and beging cutting...without assistance I hope. I usually bang 1-200 miles a week and hope to mb keep 40% of the muscle mass I gain now. I figure the extra muscle once the excess is trimmed should improve my overall performance. I would start FTP testing and work on increasing VO2 Max etc. I also still work the street as a medic in a busy area and need to keep fit as my patients are getting fatter by the day! Appreciate you bro and same to you...if I can be of assistance please feel free. I will follow up in a couple of weeks with a progress report.
I did consider other gear initially i.e. Dbol but was quickly talked out if it lol. The bros figure at my age it might be too much water and sides.
