I'll probably get flamed for this, but I would love to get some input from the knowledgable guys here.
A little background first: I'm 43 and have been active most of my life in martial arts. Since I was 11 years old until about 8 years ago I was heavily into the martial arts, karate and kung-fu at first then MMA and BJJ. Many years of very hard training have taken their toll on my body and as a result I have a host of chronic joint and nerve issues (shoulders, neck and upper back). I regularly see a chiro and also a neuro doc for the nerve impingement.
I always used weights, but my focus was on endurance and functional strength. For the past couple of years I have been lifting more for strength and adding mass. I have always had a very hard time putting on weight and still do.
I signed up with 3J and ran a very mild cycle a while back and was able to put on and keep about 12 lbs. Not huge gains, but I was happy with it. I later found out my source was underdosing his gear so my 500mg a week test / 300mg a week deca cycle was probably more like a 300 test/150 deca cycle. Either way I found the combination of good strict dieting, and shortened recovery time to be extremely productive. Which brings me to my question.
I have found that while on cycle I am able to train around my injuries. I am careful not to increase weight too quickly, but the gains I am able to make I can not duplicate through training and diet alone.
I have a load of test prop/tren blend (50mg/ml of each) that I would like to use for a very mild cycle. At 160 I know most of you will tell me I am too small for AAS, but I am not interested in using them to get huge. What does interest me is the increase in appetite I am hoping to get from the Tren and the shortened recovery time I know I will get from the prop.

I am on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) so PCT will not be necessary. I am not sure if I should just add the prop/tren blend on top of my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose or in place of it. As I said I want to keep it mild for use as a training aid rather than using loads to try and blow up. I was thinking 1/2ml every day, but was not sure if that would be enough or not. If I run it that way I will have enough for two 12 week cycles, so that would be a plus but if it is too small an amount for my goals then it would only be two pointless cycles so I am open to suggestions.
Flame away if you must, but I am hoping to get some constructive help as well.
