Mcpump, I'm sure I read somewhere that bassmaster is over 40 and I've always been of the opinion that if your that age a nice test only cycle is the way to go. The problem is that Deca shuts you down quite heavily and it gets harder to recover the older you get.

Substitute the Deca with Equi.

I didn't say he shouldn't, but merely should be cautious as the older the get the harder it gets to recover 100%.vega5 wrote:

I have run Deca for very long cycles and no hastles with libido.
Follow Doctari's advice in the PCT section. HCG throughout the cycle.

Guys, it's his first cycle, so no Deca or EQ. A first cycle should always be test only, so one learns how they repond to the compound. One can Kickstart the cycle with Test prop but for a first cycle many find it easier to take orals to avoid multiple site injections (since they are not used to injecting themselves) so Dbol is often a better recommendation.
I personally think you guys are insane recommending as high as 700mg/week for a first cycle. 200mg to 500mg per weeks is more than enough for a first cycle. My first cycle was only 200mg a week of depotrone and had some of my best gains on that cycle.
I agree that HCG is absolutely necessary for a cycle at that age. You can run it all through the cycle or just at the end, starting after the last pin and running for 3/4 weeks (because the test will clear after 2). I run tamoxifen with the HCG and then 3/4 weeks after it. Alternatively you can follow Doctari's PCT to the letter since alot of guys are having success with that.

well my first cycle was one sust per week as well but i was like 22. This dude is over 40 but ok yea 700 may be a bit heavy but at that age 500 mg would be a must.And yea im 29 and I did come off a test cycle with only kessar and clomid with really good results but at 40 I would agree with HCG. You dont ALWAYS need HCG especially under 30 years of age. I used to follow the HCG protocol now after this last cycle I will do my PCT without it. Mind you I am almost sure that the AI will make your recovery so much easier and faster.This was the first cycle i ran an AI right through. And if you can limit estrogen as much as possible you not going to feel like a little bitch after that test comes out the system.

Seeing that I suggested all this first could somebody just give me some karma. I've been trying my ass off the last couple of days to give good advice and nobody is giving me karma. I saw on another thread that two guys got karma just for responding fast. That's just wrong!

I actually disagree with the HCG statement and age. You need it more at a younger age to prevent damage when you older. At 40 most have had their children and fertility is not actually an issue, at 22 it is as you still would like to have kids.
Personally a PCT of a younger man should be more rigorous to prevent damage when they are older.
Older guys should still do a proper PCT, but I would say that a test only cycle at 40 a clomid and kessar PCT would be ok. Also depends on shrinkage he experiences as well, then HCG will come into play.
Also agree on dose, 250 - 400 is good for a first cycle esp if the user is older. High test doses over 40 might have adverse effects that a younger person would not get. This is a shock for the body as the natural levels have declined some what considering the age.
Look at the low end and stick to a single ester with a front load if you want. D-Bol at 20 - 30mg p/day IMO.

Think you misunderstood what I was trying to get at. In no way was I saying that the older you get the less intense your PCT should be.
BUT, there are 2 discussions on this and mainly around the compounds used. Test alone does not cause shut down like a test and deca cycle for instance. If the cycle included a compound that shut you down bad I would definitely have leaned towards the complete PCT, meaning all compounds (HCG).
This is only a test cycle and HCG would not necessarily be needed, a good inclusion, but not necessary IMO.
Youngsters (23 - 30 odd) should try and make the see saw of hormones as smooth as possible, hence my advice to run maintenance HCG doses during cycle.
You are correct about the dangers, but used correctly and at low doses it should be good and advised by the good doc when he was around.
This is a first cycle with dosing along the lower range and that is what the advise was centered around. The fact that the user is 40 or over does impact advice, but Clomid and Kessar will cover what needs to be covered for hormonal restoration.
The playing field changes when you get older and the advice should fit the profile. As an example, estrogen becomes more prevalent in your older years and allot more difficult to control than when you are young.
This is all about opinion and its good that we challenge each other in a positive manner, that's how we learn.
