56 Years Young

When you shut things down to detox and recover what is your protocol?

Even though I’m old and should never stop running 250mg of test a week I do stop everything right before a show. After being off everything I wait a week and do typical pct protocol. Usually looks like this:
pct
HCG 1000 units eod 8 days (4000 u)
HCG 500 units eod 1 1/2 weeks
Nolvadex 20mg ed
Clomid 50mg ed
Caber .25 2x a week

I also run “Kidney Stuff” Liv 52 and Liv Support. When I’m done with pct I go in for blood work.

56 years old been training since 13 years of age. My girl friend/training partner is 24 and we live the bodybuilding lifestyle 100%. First contest 1984 and just finished up a run of 6 shows 2017. My first show I was 155 pounds and shredded in 84. My last show just as peeled but 222 lbs @ 5'10". I'm not new to the sport or to growth protocols but I felt if I came here I might pick up some tips to help me win Masters Nationals. In my mid 40's became diabetic which may have been caused by slin usage or HGH use. My doc thinks I just burned my pancreas out force feeding myself for years. Highest weight was 293 lbs at 5'10". I'm currently attempting to stay lean and train lean which was advice from bodybuilders in the sport much more advanced than me. Goals are to be shredded in the super heavyweight class at masters nationals and possibly the North Americans next year. Just got back from the Olympia where I trained in Vegas for a week (loved it) and then hit Golds Gym the Mecca in Venice. Lost all my trophies in a flood in 2007. But since then I've pretty much filled the house back up. I was a member of the month a few years back on RXmuscle where they did a nice profile on me. I've come here to branch out and cover any bases I may have missed in my quest to get a pro card as an old man lol.

I go higher reps and take a rest from progressive overload. Eat more food and run 300 test e a week to cruise. If I have it I stay on hgh.

Not really but my training is pretty tough so I'm generally exhausted when i finish. Cardio is precontest only.

Might sound silly but OP I’m curious if you tried to improve your Insulin levels with vitamin D, I remember Stan Efferding was saying he needed a much larger than he thought because he used growth for a few years and how it improved his A1C greatly. Not sure if other markers were mentioned. But curious how much extra D3 you take and do you do take with with fish oil? Had levels tested. Thanks
