My PSL Test Prop Old Man Log (with some PSL DHB thrown in)

[Knarfster]

Okay gentleman, here is my PSL Test Prop Old Man Log.

I started today with 40mg Test Prop and will continue with that every day. I also am doing a 10 day kickstart with 50mg Anadrol (I am not a patient man even though I am 61 years old). The cycle will be 10 weeks of Test/DHB. I will titrate up the DHB (again not patient) to reach steady state quicker. And the finish will be with Test /Mast for 6 weeks (with some Anavar at the end because I love it).

Day​	DHB dose​	100 mg/mL Units​
1​	30 mg​	30​
2​	31.5 mg​	32​
3​	33 mg​	33​
4​	35 mg​	35​
5​	36.5 mg​	37​
6​	38 mg​	38​
7​	39.5 mg​	40​
8​	41.5 mg​	42​
9​	43 mg​	43​
10​	44.5 mg​	45​
11​	46 mg​	46​
12​	47.5 mg​	48​
13​	49.5 mg​	50​
14​	51 mg​	51​
15 on​	30 mg​	30​

I had a Dexa Scan today. And drew blood (Probably be a week or so for those results). I will get bloods done at the end of week 5 and another Dexa at the end of Week 10 and 16 (or close to it)

I will try to keep adding a half a pound to the scale a week, and based on weekly waist measurement move up or down from there. I may try carb cycling after a the first 4 weeks.

For reference, This was me at 59 years old 45% body fat 235 lbs 2 years ago. August 20th Marks 24 months in the Gym. The second photo was me 8 weeks ago at 13% Body Fat. I am starting the cycle at 10.7%

What kicked this off? One of My best friends died of heart failure around the time the first pic was taken, he was 46 years old. I swore that wouldn't be me. I wanted to make a 180 degree turn and look good for my 60th birthday in 2025. I have found the key is consistency. My wife joined me and now she weighs the same she did when we met in High school 46 years ago.

Damn impressive

So far, the PSL DHB has zero PIP. I did Right Ventro Glute Monday and Left today. Will try a quad tomorrow. The CC of L-Carnitine has more PIP than the DHB.

 

[Knarfster]

Preliminary blood work has come back

The low test is because I am was on 70mg/week test prop and I drew blood on Monday after a Saturday AM shot. Now I am 40mg/day. the only concerning thing is my PSA went from 3.6 to 6.7 with a free % of 11. i am taking another Test Thursday to see if that was a transient change.

DEXA results are seriously impressive, especially at 61. Plenty of guys half your age would love to make that kind of body comp improvement while pushing FFMI up.


A few quick thoughts:

Creatine at 10 mg has to be a typo. I'm assuming you mean 10 g.

Astragalus at 500 mg is on the low side. Most of the kidney support crowd tends to run more in the 1.5-3 g range.

Same thing with the L-Carnitine. 600 mg is pretty conservative. A lot of guys are running 1-2 g daily.

Nattokinase at 6,000 FU is already a solid dose.

TUDCA at 1 g and NAC at 1.2 g look well thought out given the Anadrol kickstart.

I'd keep an eye on the Gorilla Mode + Cialis + Telmisartan + Taurine combo. Between the pump ingredients, vasodilation and BP control, that's a lot going on at once. For some people it's awesome, for others it's a recipe for headaches, dizziness or feeling a little too "flat" during training.

I'd move the Resveratrol to lunch or dinner. It's fat soluble, so taking it with a meal containing some healthy fats should give you better absorption than using it around your pre-workout stack.


Other than that, nothing really jumps out as a red flag. Honestly, the thing I like most about this whole setup isn't the supplement stack, it's the fact that you're doing DEXAs and mid-cycle bloodwork. That's worth way more than adding another handful of "anti-aging" supplements to the pile.

Great set up to a solid log. Ready to see you kill it bro. Let's goo

The L-Carnitine is injected, so 600mg is a pretty good dose for my weight. And yes 10g Creatine. Normally ends up closer to 15 with my recovery drink having some in it. So far BP has been great, and no issues with headaches or being flat.

I respect any man that takes, or has taken, the Test Prop journey.

 

[Wardamn]

Following, great transformation!

Solid log. Along for the ride

Wish me luck tomorrow, we'll see if this dhb really is pip-free. I only started using my delts a couple of weeks ago and tomorrow will be the largest volume at .58cc I've ever tried. I used a 25ga 1 inch needle in left, right Ventro Glute and left, right thigh so far. Tomorrow will be 30ga 5/8 slinpin.

I used to use those gauges too. Then I discovered I'm way too impatient, and apparently not strong enough to deal with all the pressure required, so I switched to a 24G.

 

[nkresho]

This is seriously impressive. You sir are a badass.

Going to follow this thread.

 

[BFulforth]

I like 27ga 1/2” for delts. 25ga 1” everywhere else

 

[chadmack]

Holy supplementation, thats like a full time job!

 

[Knarfster]

Holy supplementation, thats like a full time job!

I have two gianourmous pill cases that I fill every 2 weeks. The only hard part is remembering to take dinner pills, And the Burberine before meals.

 

[Knarfster]

Okay, up 6 lbs in 6 days. I guess Anadrol really works. Lots of glycogen, not too much water. Being lean helps and I am only eating 250 to 350 calorie surplus. And so far the PSL DHB is smooth, both Delts pinned now, no PIP. Crossing my fingers it stays that way.

 

[RoidRage69]

Nice to see another PSL logger on here. I am getting ready to use DHB myself. Here's hoping the PIP is manageable. Will be using 300mg per week along with test and deca.

 

[Knarfster]

Yesterday was tough, Cardio in the morning on Anadrol is not easy, especially after having been on clenbuterol and cardarine.

Decided to switch the order of my exercises for torso, I put the anterior delts at the beginning of the workout. Worked great for a pump but was almost a debilitating pump, man did my shoulders feel it. Strength is definitely up. I have 3 more workouts with Anadrol in my system. 50mg day for 12 days. By then the DHB should be steady state by my next Monday workout. The Test Prop is super smooth and feels like it is working well with the DHB. Still zero Pip.

 

[Knarfster]

Touchdown Baby! Thanks @Vision

 

[Chemicalreaction]

Love the labels !

 

[Vision]

Let's do this!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Knarfster]

Okay a bit of PIP today but it isn't the oils fault. I had a large volume and my 25ga needle just didn't want to push oil into the Left Ventor Glute so I had to force it. I think I will switch back to my 23ga 1 1/4 inch needles for a bit on Ventro Glute when the volume is high. I will be done titrating up on the DHB soon so the daily volume will go down.

It didn't help that today was leg day . Saturday and Sunday are off in my new split so I should be fine by Monday. Today was my last 50mg Anadrol dose, so I should be back to doing morning fasted cardio monday as well. It was just too hard with the leg pumps I was getting off the Anadrol.

 

[Knarfster]

The PIP was definitely Poor technique or that specific needle induced. I injected nearly a CC in the right thigh this morning and no PIP.
