Cycle

Hey guys, looking at doing a cycle of boldonone and test e in the upcoming months , I am 50 years old and have done a cycle of this before with no sides but just a bit concerned about age and red blood cell count as I no this injectible is the worse for it , at the moment am eating clean and training my ass of to get to some sort of shape before doing it , will do a blood test before starting it , any help would be much appreciated , cheers

Welcome buddy, from what I know EQ is pretty notorious for increasing hematocrit, especially in older guys very risky with stroke, blood clots, and high blood pressure. So definitely get that baseline bloodwork done before, and plan to monitor hematocrit, hemoglobin and bp during the cycle. If it starts creeping too high, I'd look at donating blood or pulling the dose back.

An option for you, if your body fat is under 15% you can consider Masteron instead of EQ, much easier on hematocrit and won’t thicken the blood like EQ does. Mast works well for hardening and recomposition especially when lean.

@darkHORSE is 100% on the money about EQ and blood thickness, especially at 50. Another option could be keeping it simple.... just run Test with a bit of Anavar instead. Way less impact on hematocrit, easier to manage sides and still effective if you're training hard and diet's on point. Plenty of guys your age do great on that combo, especially when body fat is in check.

Swap the EQ for NPP or Primo. The EQ is a very slow burn and takes longer to recover from in a PCT.

Just do test by itself.

Great to see a thread on cycling! It’s such an underrated way to build endurance and stay lean without putting too much stress on the joints. I’ve been mixing in a few cycling sessions each week alongside strength training really helps with recovery too. Anyone else using it as active rest or just going full-on with the bike?

At 50 you have watch your blood thickness. EQ can raise your red blood count fast. Get bloods done before and again around week 6. If your haematocrit gets too high, you’ll likely need a therapeutic venesection. Red Cross won’t take you if your haemoglobin’s too high, so you’ll need to go through your doctor to get it sorted.

EQ is infamous for spiking rbc counts and elevating haematocrit values , you could run Masteron if you want, although you may not get much out of drostanolone if not already lean. Primobolan is another dht derivative worth a mention here , but it's likely a bit pricier than EQ. If you wanted to run Boldenone, managing the viscosity of your blood could perhaps be done with asprin , or simply donate some blood on cycle twice through. Depends on what your bloodwork comes back looking like and what doses you intend to run
