first time steroids use 40 years old.

[tongy321]

Im about to run my first ever cycle im 40 years old and just started training my bf is 25 percent at 5ft 9.ive bought some test anathtate,masteron is this a good combination one to start on for 12 weeks now im being told to use test. I wanna lift weights 3 times a week and do cardio hoping to strip and tone with some gains.im so confused now took advice off friends but reading forums and studying on net im even more confused. Do I lose weight before starting or go straight to it any advice be appreciated.

It would be best to drop some body fat before you start your cycle. And then for your first run do test only. Make sure you have an AI to run (arimidex, aromasin) and get your nolva/clomid pct in order as well.

that's good advice from J-Radical i agree test only at 400-600mg/w max with 0.25mg adex eod and defo make sure you have your pct in place when you start your course.

generally you want your bf at or below 15% when starting a cycle to avoid side effects. This is due to the fact that fat has aromatase enzymes that convert testosterone to estrogen which will cause side effects. more fat=more aromatization=more estrogen on cycle.

Absolutely great advice from the above. Even at 40 you should get decent natural gains if you just started, get your diet in check and enjoy the benefits of lifting. You can still do surprisingly well naturally.

Also may be a good time to get a hormone panel done and see where you are naturally. If you're a little low on natural test don't panic as you may see some increase in the next few months naturally if you stay dedicated.

And welcome!

Welcome old man !

Appears that this topic was really well covered. Especially the fat part...test can make you look fatter due the info provided thus...with the added water weight through aromatization you will look smoother.

I will venture out and say that Mast is a very safe aas...once your bf is addressed running it will not hurt.

In summation a first cycle should include your
base___test at 500x12 weeks ( or 16 )
an ai to address any sides should they come on
hcg at 125_250 x 2 or 3 times a week to keep testicular atrophy at bay thus making for a better recovery
proper pct compounds.

As mentioned above , especially at 40, a blood panel is almost mandatory lol..seriously though...I would love to know where your at with respect to NATURAL levels.

Enjoy the new life; it s not e z but make your body your hobby.

Again welcome ! There is a lot of good guys here and a ton to be learned and your life experience will surely help some younger members so be prolific in our many forums.

Go idea on waiting. No matter what, do not run tren on first cycle. It is the King of sides for some. Keep studying while you are getting to 15%.

After bit more research I've decided to get body fat down to around 20 and run test with masteron and took peoples advice to leave the tren alone as a first cycle maybe add it after 4 weeks cheers guys.
