dest's final cycle

destriero said:
I'm going to document my final gear/peptide cycle (lifetime). I am in my early 50s and as I age I've decided to lean out and focus on cycling (MTB) and an eventual 210 weight goal and VO2Max performance. I'll post a pic when the thread has run its course. My avatar pic was taken nearly a year ago.

I am 6'3" 250lbs at 14% BF% by DXA.

My current lifts (compound):

Bench: 372 for two (second did not lockout/aided); PB 407.
DL: 566
Sq: 520*

I am a solid squatter but my Achilles was torn and my ankle, calf, thigh were broken in my 20s. I am not concerned with increasing my PB in squat. I workout in the 400-450 range. Bench is static 315 inside a Hoist Mi7Smith machine. Squats also within the Mi7 and in the 400-420 range, typically static without drops, and high reps for all sets. Warmup at half of 1RM for all.

I boxed in my teens and 20s (McGarry) and have always used boxing as cardio. I've got speed and heavy bags in the house.

I haven't been on a cycle in over two years. My plan is 30mg Oxandrolone (Anavar), test cyp (unsure of what cycle proportion I'll run) and 2mg of rhGH for four days on, three days off. I can elaborate why the split GH schedule, but it comes from long experience.

Diet consists of lean protein (no supplemental), beans/legumes, some pasta. I don't drink/smoke. I don't eat any simple sugars. It's not idealogical; I just don't have a taste for sugar.

I just had blood work from an insurance physical. I can't find the chart, but all were in the green and my total chol was 115. Ratios were excellent. If I can locate it I'll post the full workup here.

Supplements that I take (daily)

400mg CoQ10
20mg Mitoquinone
50mg DHEA b.i.d.
Sublingual GSH
C, D, multivitamin
D2O
Fish oil

I am posting this now, in the Spring, as both of my racks are in the garage. I've got the Mi7Smith and a Rogue Monster rack (1" bolts). I have an office/apt in LA and the reason I chose the building was for the gym. It's amazing.

For cardio I have a Concept2 rower in the bedroom, a VersaClimber and my wife has a Peloton. Trek Rail 9.9 for bikepacking and a LaMere Fat Bike.

I typically do a three-split, all compound, but I've added overheads for delts and occasional bi-curls. Day on/day off. Today is bench and tri. I only do flat bench with grip-width variation. I no longer do any dips.

@destriero Interesting stuff. I had my bloodwork done in November 2020, and I will redo it again in July 2021. For fun, I did the "Biological Test" by Elysium. I really thought that I would be younger by like a decade, but it was more like 3 years, so my Telomeres were a disappointment. I will retake their DNA test in 18 months to see if there is a major change, but regardless, it was a wake up call.

I do like their "Matter" supplement, and I am taking it, instead of fish oil:

I also noticed your mention of 30mg Anavar, but I prefer the injectables, as I have been told that taking them in pill form is not so good for your liver. Mine came from laboratory/pharmaceutical grade (like Winstrol), from Spain, but they are not easy to find...

Anavar is actually beneficial in low doses. Hepatotoxicity doesn't play a role unless you're over 0.5mg/kg and it's generally very mild. I'd be far more concerned with cardiac issues; arterial stiffness/elasticity than any impact to the liver.
