Hi All! Looking for some newbie cycle advice.
52 y/o male, 69”, 175#. I would say I am skinny fat and could use some cutting. Been through bilateral shoulder replacements in 2020. Severe muscle atrophy in deltoids and rotator cuff due to scapular dysfunction (winging) for years. Being an avid cyclist did not help, so I decided to go on a hiatus. Hopefully just for a year, to focus on rebuilding posterior muscle chain in shoulders and back.
PCP has me on TRT (testosterone cypionate ) 160mg per week plus daily sermorelin (peptide therapy). Was on 200mg of Test C, but test level jumped to 1800 , but doc wants me around 1100-1300. He also has me on anastrazole .5mg 4-days per week to combat estrogen.
Working out 5-6 days per week, and seeing small changes in muscle. Running very light weights with high reps (15-20 for 3 sets). Still having joint pain but that was to be expected.
Thinking of stacking with Deca and/or primo. I am usually pretty risk adverse, but I am desperate enough to take some risks. Goal is mostly lean muscle mass and cutting. My conservative t thoughts are 160-200mg Test-C, 100mg Deca ( joint protection and pain relief), and 200mg primo per week. Cycle for about 12-weeks and stop primo and Deca. Assuming natural testosterone suppression with Deca and primo will allow me to go back up to 200mg Test-C. Current TRT has had lipid profile impact that PCP is working on naturally combating.
Sorry for the long introduction, but assumed good to know some background. Any thoughts or recommendations?
