wow age 45 :eek: and for how long are you in bodybuilding?

45 yrs young... ;) I'm active with outdoor sporting (hunting, dirt bikes...etc) been 5 solid yrs with natural/over the counter supplements. Newbie with gear, running 1st cycle next month, looking at a 'Dbol+test' run.

Advice on 1st cycle is welcomed :)

Congrats on your age and healthy way of life. Dbol plus test is good but at this age I would recommend only test as your liver will be more affected at this age. IMHO

what is your progress bro? Please update us.

What is your success with power increase?
