First cycle to be kept light and healing beneficial as possble

[adifinet]

Hi to all and thank you very much for your attention on this post!

I'm 32yo, been lifting for 12 years, have good muscle and strength gains. 1.77cm at 79kg (I believe around 10% bf). Not genetically blessed, but with maintaining good nutrition and training all these years I am as fit and built as I could get. I can fairly say that I have pretty much reached my natural limits. Adding that I have been struggling with mild tendinosis (I guess from all the years of lifting hard) in both shoulders, I have made the decision to get on AAS - but as light and healthy for my tendinosis as possible. Decided to start running test e 300mg per week + HGH 4iu 6 days a week + adding anavar for the collagen synthesis to help the shoulders heal. Thought about doing deca or eq with the test but gave it up due to their sides, as I could become very sensitive to high blood pressure and get anxiety.

Please advise your thoughts on my regimen. I am mostly concerned about my shoulders - really want them to get back to normal and that's why I also chose to run test at low 300 a week. I heard that it's better running it at no more than TRT up to 250 for better collagen synthesis but since I take anavar, I thought it will balance the collagen synthesis in a beneficial matter. Also I am not sure how to run ancillaries and PCT for this comparably low dose of test. I already have arimidex on hand.

week 1-9: test e 300mg per week (150mg twice a week)
week 2 - 10: Anavar (20mg first week, 30mg second, and 50mg till week 10)
PCT (starting week 11): Clomid and Nolva (still figuring out the duration and dosage)



Thank you all!

10 weeks will do very little if anything for collagen synthesis -- most likely nothing. If that is your main/only reason for running a cycle you are going to be severely disappointed. Don't waste your money or risk your health.

HGH could help at that dose if you run it for 6-12 months (longer is better).

Thanks for the reply Megatron. I am running the test as a base for the anavar so the keeping my libido and maybe some further gains due to the higher test levels (along with anavar gains of course). I don't mind to do longer test cycle but I am mostly focused on what I could get from the anavar - healing/strengthening my problematic rotator cuff tendons with hopefully some added gains along (I won't be training heavy until I get the confidence my shoulders are back in good shape). So the test for me is not the main focus, although I could be wrong and maybe it could benefit to my condition at longer cycle (in low 300mg) a week. That seems to be a grey area in the discussion about dosage for collagen synthesis and healing (TRT vs higher, or dosage with adding other AAS such as deca,eq,anavar).

thanks...

I get that. Collagen synthesis over a 10 week period will likely be minimal, if even anything. Spend your money on the HGH which will help.

Deca can also help ... ?

Not in ten weeks time...

 

[adifinet]

so the suggestion here is to extend the cycle? I wasn't informed on whether the test at that dosage would contribute (even at a longer cycle) for my goals to heal, and the 8 weeks anavar wasn't addressed - is it going to contribute to the collagen synthesis for mild tendinosis and muscle gains at that regime?

ancillaries and pct dosage for such doses is still not very clear to me...

appreciate all the constructive advice I could get...

8 weeks of var is kinda a long time to run an oral for your liver. I think your looking too much into what you'll possibly get out of test, deca and var. As mentioned, you would be better off spending your money on hgh instead. 6-12 months would be recommended. No miracles will happen in 8 to 10 weeks...

As far as ancillary dose, you would have to get blood work to see where your at. Everybody is different. There's no real cookie cutter guide to doses...

Great advice on the ancillaries! Thank you! and will sure do some blood work while on to measure how to compensate with ancillaries. I'm already in week 2 of test 300 (started HGH a month ago already) and planning to start the anavar on week 3. I heard so many good feedbacks on TRT test along with AAS that help to promote better collagen synthesis like Anavar that I'm surprised that I don't see anyone commenting positively about it...

There is benefits to test and var. Might not be as great of benefits as you are looking for...
