How to begin or should I do it at all?

[christopherdarren78]

I'm a newbie here and I'll try hard not to break the rules or offend anyone, but I'd like to get right to the point. I'm 48, been working out for over 20 years, your typical mid level work out guy. I'm in the gym 4 days per week and have been for over 20 years. I'm 5'8 160, no bodybuilder but I know what I'm doing. My diet and health are both excellent. My body type is lean and I have a difficult time building and retaining muscle. I recently purchased Depotest E-300 from a friend, thinking it would be simple. When I began to do research on dosage, I found out that there is much more to this than I thought. I have no idea what dosage, what are the side effects, do I need to take something else to start natural production again, etc. I've read that it will cause my body to stop its natural production of test and I'm worried if it will come back. Not sure what my level is, but I still have a very strong sex drive, all my hair, no acne, don't want to beat anyone up, and I want to keep it that way. Am I crazy for trying this? Or am I over-reacting to the whole thing. I know I could read past posts, but I hope to hear some good, specific advice and input from some knowledgeable people who have been in the same place I'm in now. Thanks.

I'm not the most experienced person to answer this but messing with hormones will usually always have some sort of shutdown involved and require some sort of PCT, so yes, it was stupid to start taking test without getting all of this in order beforehand.

Hey man,
glad you are asking before you jump in....in your case I think it is not a very good idea to do this....and here is why:
First off your sex drive is great and by all means keep it that way.....if you do test and by the way Test 300 is not on my to do list of anabolics as it can hurt like a you wouldnt believe. It stacks up there with test 400 which is a complete pile of shiet! Back to the test, if you do it at this point in your life it most likely upset your body's balance and create unwanted issues that you do not have right now.
Second, what are you trying to accomplish....gain 10lbs? Not worth it! If you want to do a cycle get yourself some primo. That's the only compound I would advise you to even think of doing. It will not completely shut you down if you keep it at about 400mg/week for 8 weeks. But in all reality, unless you have a great desire to get into steroids for the long haul is not worth doint it.
What is suprising is the fact that you can't keep gains but your sex drive is very good.....maybe it's the amount of trainig and caloric intake that amy need some help
I hope I've been of some help

My Friend I tend to agree with Vass, but you are the same age as me, and two products that will work great for you is a deca and Sostenon, 250mg weekly, with Deca 200 mg weekly, for 8 weeks, this will not cause any Hormone in balance, doing this dose at 8 weeks, I understand you want to break the wall, and I can assure you this is the safest way, the product your friend gave you is complete crap "kitchen dirt" But yes do your homework! there is a big difference between Testosterone therapy, and training to gain lean Muscle in the GYM. Get your blood work done and see what your Test levels are first? at your age they we be much lower then a 20 or 30 year old, this is natural with age, I worked with a 65 year man a few years ago who won the over all masters for the NPC title in Nevada. this fellow at his age was a wonder to see, and just shows how AS work and work safely when down right, and using the correct products, in the US at this time 99% of all gear in underground, I do not care how good it looks. IF it was up to me I would have these Kitchen chemist that feel the need to sell there products on the open market shot dead or in Jail!

BOTTOM LINE DO SOME HOME WORK AND GET THAT BLOOD WORK DOWN WITH FOLLOW UPS!

Peace
