I am 43 years old and bodyfat doesn't drop as fast it use too. I want to start a cycle of Test Ethanate and I am at 19-20% bodyfat, I am 6'0 232lbs. Won't Test E help shed and bodyfat and wouldn't I be okay as far as Gyno and estrogen level rising if I use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and keep my cardio up.

Like stated above test does not help rid of body fat a diet does. What test tends to do to men our gae is give us a little more umph to get off the couch and get going. I started my HRT 5 weeks ago amd I have a high definciency caloritic diet. Meaning am only eating about 1600-1800 calories a day, but am eating 5 times a day amd am sheding fat along with volume weight training and cadio. I started at 38% bf and I was down 12 pts if am correct or am down 12 pts now I have my next dr visit here in 3 weeks. But am down 2 pant sizes from 40-38 even they r starting to get loose on me. I have gained muscle and I have a long ass way to go. Theres a forum member that if you have the resources will set u up with a diet for what ever ur looking to do. His forum handle excapes me but everyone that has used him has gotten great results. Good luck brother.

Agree with phatboy, I am new to ology but have done a lot of research. I would do the test e maybe even with tren with Aromatase inhibitor (AI) low dose through out cycle and proper post cycle therapy (pct). EAT RIGHT!! Give it twelve weeks u can do it bro.

Test won't shed fat for you. What AAS will do for you is allow you retain more muscle if you go on a cutting/fatloss phase. Normally your body will naturally lose some muscle when your calorie intake is low and cardio is high - AAS will help you retain more of that muscle. Keep lifting hard, but incorporate cardio in to your routine and make sure your diet is on point. You got some years on me, so bouncing back during post cycle therapy (pct) may be harder for you. Good luck bro!

I think old&stacked was talking about 3J. He does customized diets for a lot of people. A link can usually be found at the top of the forum main page.

Not at all. I think you should go for it, just be aware that it may be harder to bounce back after shutting down your natural test. Sorry if it came across like I was discouraging you bro. I've never had issues during/after post cycle therapy (pct) personally, but I work with some older guys who have. Take care.

No worries. I don't mean issues as far as sides. I just mean bouncing back post cycle, getting your natural Test levels to what they were prior to the cycle. Getting blood tests done before and after is the only true way to know (getting one mid-way into cycle is a good idea too), but you will know if you crash post cycle - loss of muscle mass, strength, and generally feeling shitty. Again I've never crashed after a cycle, just going off of others experiences. Hope this helps.

Im 43 and only cycle once a year. 12 weeks of test only and have done that for years. I use just clomid for post cycle therapy (pct) and have never had a problem recovering or crashing. Everyone handles things different as they will tell u here.

I would NEVER recommend tren for a first cycle.Test e 500mg a week 12 weeks with proper post cycle therapy (pct) of clomid four weeks 50/50/50/50. Start clomid two weeks after last injection. Keep Arimidex on hand in case of gyno

Hey big, look there are different roads you can take. To me it looks like your not a candidate for HRT. Second I would make sure to have all your PCT even before grabing any gear that way you know what your pct is going to be like. Be safe brother run test only and if ita your first cycle test E or C. Do not i repeat DO NOT run tren. That ia big time there and I am 100% positive your not ready for it none of noobs are. Get your diet straight and we will see u in 6 months the new and improved BIG.

Hey man, Ill start off by saying I'm a younger person also, but ill give you my opinion on this. I would say definitely go for it. Your T levels aren't near what they were, and that'll slow your progess a lot.
I agree there is a lot higher chance of your HPTA not fully recovering after post cycle therapy (pct), but I say 9 times out of 10 itll bounce back. You need to ask yourself if being on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an option, because in another 5 years if you still care about your physique, youll most likley be on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) whether you cycle now or not. Just my opinion man.
You seem like a cool and relaxed dude, hope you achieve your goals whichever route you take.

I did my first cycle at 40 and about your same % BF. 10 weeks of Test E at 500mg/wk. Didn't really change my diet during the cycle and managed to drop 3% from my BF (according to my omron scale - not sure how accurate that thing is) with decent muscle gains. No problems recovering after cycle (nolva and clomid for PCT). I did start to get itchy nipples during cycle (may have been the start of gyno), so also needed to take nolva during cycle. I now prefer Aromasin to nolva during cycle and just clomid for PCT.
