First thank you for having me on the forum I’m seeking some advice for reaching my goals and getting back in shape losing fat with addition of T and exercise.
I’ll be 42 in July, I’ve been in the gym lifting and boxing most my life. I’d say modestly I have great fundamentals on exercise and diet. I did one cycle of T in my early 20s and never did any gear again.
At 37 I came down with a virus, loaded with antibiotics and hospitalized for a month totally took me out of trying and normal diet. I haven’t got back on track in 5 years, gained a lot of fat, lost muscle, feel and look like and old fat mans body.
About 2 years ago I went to a TRT doctor and was sent a program consisting of test, hcg, b12 shots, nova, anastrozole and I had purchased anavar seperatly.
For whatever reason I didn’t start the program but had it delivered.
To the point, I want to start this program, not as TRT but as a cycle. I’d like some advice on how to cycle this program to get the best results to mostly lose fat as fast as possible, restore some of the muscle I lost and feel good again. Could I just jump on a program or do I need Ron lose some fat first?
I recently took some blood test with my primary care doctor I’ll post with my gear, diet and states below. I want to thank you in advance and look forward to the feed back.

Any other info needed for advice just let me know.
Thank you all again!
Can you suggest timing and how long I run each test, var, hcg etc…
What is the difference and reason adex belongs in the trash. Can I jump right in or should I lose some weight first might seem like dumb question but just want to take caution.
not sure if I’ll need addition blood work throughout the cycle
var for 6-8 weeks at the end or 4 up front and 4 at the end.
hcg the last 2 weeks of the cycle after your last inj
NO need for blood work while on cycle unless you’re having an issue or you want specific info. IT will come up messed up and you don’t live on cycle, hence, cycle.
arimidex is a estrogen blocker allowing a rebound when you get off of it. aromasin is a suicidal inhibitor of estrogen. NO rebound. arimidex negatively affects lipids (cholesterol panel) aromasin doesn’t.
If I need adex or Aromasin when should I start it how will I know?I’m concerned with bloat and Gyno
I’d say after gaining so much fat I already feel like I have bitch tits
From 165-170 to 190-195 lbs
Google gyno symptoms, you should get a good idea from that. Biggest thing I’ve heard is itchy nipples and then swolen. I’ve not had issues with gyno, aside from some lymph node swelling on an oral nandrolone (which went away when I stopped taking it). If you’re carrying as much chub as you say, bloat may be harder to id - not sure how to help you on that one. Might watch how your face looks?
You’ll know. If your BP goes up too high, you are crazy bloated or you get very puffy, sore or itchy nips start your AI at 1mg or 10-12mg ed respectively for a week and then cut the dose in half and tape as needed
I was in a similar situation at 37 y/o and started Keto over a year ago. Just started TRT in April. I also had some type 2 DM issues which keto solved but when TRT started I took on alot of water weight. In April 2017 my bodyfat was 31% and is now 22.%. I FEEL great but I also now work hard to keep progress on dropping bodyfat.
I believe the high blood pressure was due to stress as a business owner so I had a prescription. I haven’t taken the prescription in over 6-8 months and bp is 122 over 83 highest reading as of late 143/94
Diastolic around 80 is considered the high end of normal, so you’re probably okay there. From what I understand, cycling will increase your BP (I believe it is due to increased hematocrit/RBC production) so I would definitely monitor that while on. I’m no Doc (volunteer EMT), but I recall that a narrowing between the two numbers is bad (I’d have to look up what it means). I also just read that having a high diastolic over time can lead to an increased systolic.
Thanks for that info I’m kinda familiar with puls pressure and the narrower it is means blood is pushed less through the body from the heart I believe. But what is considered narrow before I run to the doctor.
From those 2 readings my pulse pressure is 39 and 50
