First Cycle in 10+ years - How F'd up is this?

I'm 37. 6ft/221lbs - disabled vet. I've got a back injury that I've been working on strengthing and feeling much better after a few years in the gym and fixing my diet. I'm looking to build more muscle hitting a plateau I can't seem to defeat.

I'm doing as much research as I can. Wiki and scrolling and reading this forum each day picking up what knowledge I can and ignoring the "broscience" found online. I wasn't smart as a teenager and had no idea what I was doing to my body - I want things to be different this time around.

Below is a completely rough draft - I'm probably still a month away from ordering, just wanted to know if I was in the right direction.

Bloodwork will be completed prior to starting with additional round of bloodwork around 4-6weeks or as needed. This enough time? Too much time? Blood tests can be done any point/time/frequency.

18-20 Week Cycle

Option 1
Week 0: Bloodwork/Research
Week 1-15: 5 x 10mL - Test C 250mg/3d
Week 16-17: Clear Ex Test (No Pinning)
Week 18: Bloodwork & PCT
Orals (Week 1-15/18+): Anadrol(50mg/d) or Anavar(50mg/d)?
AI: Amiradex @ .5mg EOD(as needed) OR? Aromasin @ 12.5mg EOD(as needed)

Option 2:
Week 0: Bloodwork/Research
Week 1-12: 5 x 10mL - EQ 200mg/3d
Week 4-20(?): 4 x 10mL - Test C 250mg/3d (38
Week 18-20+(?): Bloodwork & PCT
Orals (Week 1-18/20+): Anadrol(50mg/d) or Anavar(50mg/d)?
AI: Amiradex @ .5mg EOD(as needed) OR? Aromasin @ 12.5mg EOD(as needed)


Experience with Arimidex and blood level/gyno/itchynips issues? Sub in TNE?
Leaning towards Anavar to reduce lower E side effects as much as possible, thoughts?

I wish I had saved the forum discussing a cycle in which it promoted healing. I believe the gentlemen was recovering from a knee surgery and while on this cycle healed much quicker than anticipated. Started with an S - I Believe. Ring a bell?

Syringes/Injection points - I've previously injected in my glutes with 23g. I didn't swap needles when I was younger - too dumb. I've seen arguments back in forth on the benefits of using a 23g to draw and 27g to poke. My plan is to use glutes and/or quads. I've also seen many folks recommend using an Insulin 27g/28g to draw/poke, thoughts? 1" required or 1/5" enough?

Candle warmer's - anybody use them prior to poking? Worth it? Just use warm water?

Should I look into HGH or SARMS? If so, can you explain why and provide recommendations?
Please - let me know where my ape brain is going wrong or what I could improve or didn't think of.

I think most people would say keep it simple and run 500mg a week testosterone for 16-20 weeks. See what happens. Do bloodwork before and about 6-8 weeks in. Have an ai on hand if necessary for e2 symptoms, take as little as possible to reduce said symptoms. Plenty of people have no sides on 500 and don't use an ai at all.

Appreciate that, boss - that seems the be the general consensus.

Look into Deca if you haven’t already. I have it prescribed for my arthritic joints and it works pretty well.

Just curious. What’s the dosage they have you on?

I was on 200mg per week. I’m currently taking a break.
