I have been an avid lifter my whole life on and off, peaks and valleys. They say natural test production begins to decline in your early 30s. The funny thing is, having just turned 32, not even cycling, the past year I have made bigger and better gains than I ever did in my 20's. Anybody else have such an experience? I am tempted to try another cycle with deca or test, but I am gaining so well naturally I hate to mess with it. I know muscle memory may be a part of it, but really, I'm bigger and stronger now within the last year than ever before. Should I continue this natural until I hit plateau, or really go for it? I have also considered trying some of the otc test boosters. People have reported good results with some products. Advice?

I wouldn't waste your money on "test boosters" or things like this. A solid diet plan, and a good workout regime will go a hell of a lot further than those "test boosters". It sounds like (by your words) that you're making some killer gains right now.

However, being 32, you're at the right age to be using Test (as well as the rest of the gear). A 12 week cycle of Test-E/CYP would be pretty damn good, but have your PCT ready to go. If YOU feel like you're ready to jump on the gear, go for it brother. Again, just make sure your body stats, diet, and lifting are all in check, and have that PCT ready to go!

If you were going to run a cycle of gear, go light your first time. Maybe consider a test only cycle. Something like this.

Test-E: 500mg/week (injected once or twice a week) Weeks 1-12
HCG: 500iu/week (injected @ 250iu twice a week) Weeks 1-14 - You could also run the HCG in higher doses for the last couple weeks of your cycle.

PCT:
Clomid: 100mg/day Week 14
Clomid: 50mg/day Week 15
Clomid: 50mg/day Week 16
Clomid: 25-50mg/day Week 17

Nolvadex: 20mg/day Week 14-17

Test E has a longer acting ester, so it's recommended to wait about 2 weeks after the last shot of test before starting PCT. If you don't know what PCT is, send me a PM or ask me here and I'll get back to you, or Guido will.

Cheers,
Kas
 
Clomids too high at 100mg/day, and don't waste you time with HCG... It would be wise to discuss things on here not via private message...

I've run doses of Clomid at 50-100mg during the first week without issue. Also HCG during cycle/end of cycle is going to help bring your system back faster, than clomid/nolva alone. Steady doses of HCG throughout the cycle or a higher dose during the last weeks of cycle (before PCT) is highly recommended and common practice.

Depends on your goals. If being 15-20lbs bigger for a while is really important to you, go for it. If you just want to be as fit as possible, no reason to fuck with your body's hormones.

Clomid can be a very harsh compound for some people, principles of pharmacotherapy still apply, use the lowest dose/number of drugs to achieve a desired effect.

I put out an extensive post on HCG a few weeks back....might be worth a read..
 
I remember the good ol days when we used to stack the legal supplements tribulis, DHEA, and androstene. It was all the rage. It may have been placebo, but I sure felt like I was making great gains. In fact, one buddy of mine told me it worked so well, and he took massive doses, he had to order an estro blocker. He may have been full of shit though.
