Hey guys here is my first go at a Cycle log so that I may work with experts to guide me and help me further learn.
I am 49, in very good physical shape I am 6'2, 209 lbs roughly 13-14% bf, I have strong cardiovascular properties as a results of years of competitive cycling and running. I have been lifting weights in some capacity for 20+ years. I have three cycles under my belt (1. 12wk Test C cycle at 250mg ( no issues), 2. Test C 500mg wk( slight bloat as I ran no ai and I screwed around with dbol) 3. Test c 500mgwk with 300mg NPP ( my favorite cycle by far, I felt great and recovery was amazing). Currently I sit on 260mgof test c on TRT, my doctor has mentioned my ability to use DECA from 200 to 300 mg per week.

My proposed cycle of 16 weeks ( for long esters)

I would like to increase my TRT dose from 260 up to 360-400mg range.
I would like to take the suggested 200mg of Deca and increase that possibly at week 5.
I would still take the adex twice per week the day after I pin for e2 control.

What I am still trying to understand is what would the value of adding NPP the first 4 weeks be in terms of waiting for the Deca to take effect?
In this example:
Weeks 1-4 100mg NPP + 200mg Deca for 300mg nandroline.
Starting week 5 drop the NPP and increase the Deca an additional 100mg for a total of 300mg.
Stay on Deca to the end of week 14 then the final two weeks on testosterone alone to finish the 16 week cycle

The ration would be close to a 1:1 but still slightly higher with test.


As to my diet I eat roughly 300grams of protein, adequate complex carbs, frutis and vegetables. I eat mostly clean, I dont not eat sweets or junk food or processed foods. I consume I would say 100+ grams of protein through shakes and protein shakes with fruit before or after I workout. I drink 1/2 to one gallon of water per day. I generally workout 5-6 times a week with a split , basic bar and dumbbell movements sets of 5 usually with 6-8 reps, generally by set 5 I am pretty gassed on dumbells which makes the barbell that much more tough, but I love it. I had to tak e6 weeks off as I had hernia surgery and am now clear to light and the past two weeks i have been building back up. Most of the work is broken down as either PUSH or PULL movements, Legs are just that with squats, lunges, sumos and calve raises. I workout in my garage at home most session take 1-1.5 hours during the summer given the humidity ( slows you down). I walk on average eod 5 miles and will jog for up to 20 minutes at a slow pace for fun. I take DHEA eod, multivitamins, omega 3's, CoQ10.
I get on average 8-8.5 hours of sleep each night, I only wake up to go to the bathroom.

Im 46 and will be running deca for the first time in a couple weeks. I'm interested to follow your results.

 

[man05]

Right now I need to determine the total mg of test, Proviron and deca and if I’m going to kick start using some npp the first four weeks.

I am ready to start just need some guidance.

So far I’ve heard suggested 300 test / 200 Deca and jump start with npp.

I need clarification on the suggested dosages.

Alright guys here is an approximation of what I eat and have been able to eat non stop.
I drink 1 to 1.5 cups of coffee each morning and I do not drink any alcohol, smoke drugs or tobacco.
A cheat day for me is a huge salad with dressing and chicken with nuts and fruit and 2-3 pieces of pizza.

The rest is pretty vanilla.

Daily Meals on average



Meal 1 (Fall, Spring, Winter)

30grams egg proteins

20grams turkey sausage low sodium

Whole bagel or half bagel and a full cup or so of cold oatmeal soaked in NF milk.

Multivitamin, fish oil, 1.5 creatine ( I use for muscle recovery and not volume), .5g HMB is included in the creatine.

During the summer though I stick with 1000 calorie shakes with whey, fruit and NF milk, its too hot and humid to eat meals in Tennessee sometimes.

Meal 2

Usually, a 600calorie protein shake with NF milk

Handful of almonds or dried fruit with some Greek yogurt.

Meal 3

Grilled chicken thighs and rice or grilled chicken thighs wrapped in flour tortillas, I eat between 3-4 thighs.

Meal 4

Pre workout

Rice krispies with NF milk, scoop of whey to drink.

Meal 5

Sweet potatoes and lean ground beef or grilled steak and some sort of vegetable.

Meal 6

Chicken and rice with vegetables



Meal 7

Protein shake 800 calories post workout.

Scoop of cold oats about a cup (I love this stuff)



Meal 8
