1st post and it’s a long one! I want to make sure that I provide all pertinent information. 49 yr old male, 6’3”, 235 lbs, 12% bf. I normally sit around 8-9% bf and weigh 225 lbs - more on that later. Been on TRT since 2010 @ 200mg/week. I’ve dabbled with sarms and some peptides a few times but nothing else. I’ve trained consistently since I was 20. I’ve always trained as a strength athlete and I powerlifted until I was in my early 40s. I switched to CrossFit at that time b/c I knew that powerlifting wasn’t good long term. Plus, I really enjoy the competitive atmosphere of CF.
Back in may i had a complete pectoral tendon rupture that required surgery to repair. That was an extremely painful injury. My pec was balled up in my chest and it looked I had a very large implant. After surgery, I continued to do CF workouts and scaled the movements to work for me. After a month or 2 in PT, I began going to a regular gym 3 days a week to work on range of motion and to try to build back some of the muscle that I had lost due to inactivity on that side. I added in extra calories to ensure that my body was getting the right nutrients to repair. From this, I have added around 10 lbs.
Fast forward to today. I have been doing a bodybuilding style workout 3-4 days a week and will do a CF WOD 2-3 days a week for extra cardio. I started researching gear that could potentially help me completely recover, build a little muscle, and strengthen my tendons. I landed on this:
350 test split into 2 injections per week
200 mg deca
20 mg anavar on workout days
I plan to run this for 20 weeks. Nutrition is on point as well as ancillaries. Blood work is spotless.
I am keeping the anavar dose relatively low so i can run it for a longer period. From what I’ve read in the studies, low dose anavar will aid in recovery especially in tendons. I am looking to add muscle with this cycle. However, I do want to keep the dosages on the lower side to mitigate sides.
Here’s where I am looking for advice. Is 200 mg deca enough? Should I bump the deca dose to 300? Also, I thought about adding super low tren ace at the end of the cycle (weeks 20-24ish) for 4-6 weeks alongside cardarine, methylene blue, and slu-pp-332 to drop my bf back into single digits. Thoughts on this?
