OK, in Week 12 now of my third cycle at the age of 54.
Started w/ 500test cyp & 300 eq for about the first 5 weeks. Saw good growth, and got impatient and maybe wreckless. Increased it to 750 test cyp and 600 eq. Surprised myself with strength gains at about week 9-10.
At the same time, started to feel tired again, and feel like shit generally. Blood pressure shot up to 140, then 160, then 170+ over 100-110. Ringing in my ears. Joints hurting. Not good.
Cut back to the original plan (500/300) Added in 25 mg Aromasin (actually, same product by another name - Extane?) eod, and 250 iu hcg 2x/wk. Added in Celery seed extract and hawthorne and arginine. (Still drinking caffeine like a fiend and smoking a pipe like a chimney though.) That was two weeks ago.
Blood Pressure today was down to 140/85. Workouts have been a little shorter than usual (8-12 sets total each day, but at the same max weights I had gotten up to), and haven't seen any more gains. Thinking I will scale all the way back and cruise at 250 test cyp from mid Dec to Mid Jan, and then ramp up again - maybe add npp to cycle 4.
Thanks to all the advice you all gave me...i like the eq, but i think it probably thickens my blood too much and can be counter-productive. Probably shouldnt have increased doses the way I did when everything was fine the way it was.
Still disappointed because I'll be 55 in two weeks and I'm having a hard time accepting that I'm never going to look like the monster I want to be. (hmm...maybe HGH?)
Thankful I have this board to toss questions to...
