LAST CYCLE (again)?? ;)

[LukaMagic]

I can't believe it's been almost two years since I posted. My 2025 was basically lost to sciatica... a miserable year, physically. Here are some recent stats, I had a body comp thing done at my gym:
Age: 57
Height: 6'0 (shrinking)
Weight: 188 lbs
TRT: 125mg Sustanon per week, 2 inj/wk
HGH: 2iu daily, single morning dose
SMM: 100 lbs
BMI: 25.5 kg/m2
Body Fat: 7.8% (this was shocking, i'm having a hard time believing... but they ran it twice)

Last Cycle (last shot 3 weeks ago):
12 weeks
500mg Sustanon
210mg Deca (joints)
4iu HGH ED, split doses
50mg Anavar ED first 8 weeks, one pill pre-workout
Ancillaries: Anastrozole .5mg on shot days for 3 weeks in middle of cycle after labs
PCT: None, back on TRT. Might do a round of HCG if my balls don't show back up in a couple of weeks

I stick to milder compounds, I am too old for the harsher ones. EQ and Tren produce intolerable side effects for me, even at low dosages. I am looking for some feedback and suggestions for one more cycle to start in late August. I started the one above at about 180 lbs, ended at about 193 and have shed about 5 lbs since so far, hopefully all water. I've been at 188-189 for about a week now so I think it's safe to say I netted a good 8 lbs of quality muscle with that cycle. At 57 I am freaking thrilled with that result.

I will get some new photos but here is one I took 2 days ago, sorry for the poor quality. Planning to get a touch of sculpting/gyno taken care of this coming January. Thanks in advance for any advice and I PROMISE to log my cycle in full!

I neglected to talk about diet in my OP. I eat fairly clean, 4-5 regular meals and 2 protein shakes plus a carb, usually a banana or apple, daily. My meals are mostly macro balanced meal preps I make from the CookingForGains guy, almost always a base of either lean ground meat or chicken breast and either protein pasta or rice. My daily protein target is 180-220 grams daily, and I know my gains would be improved if I could simply EAT MORE.... but I just can't do it consistently. One trick I've thought about employing is to do one more protein shake, made with 2% milk every night before bed and see what that produces. I might try this on this next cycle. Calorie goal is 3,000 plus on cycle, 2,400 off.

I always thought I would enjoy the super lean, athletic look... but now that I'm here I feel small, lol. I guess it comes with the dinner.
