Greetings.

I have downloaded and put the STS into a notebook and I have been slowly working my way through, very thorough and insightful.

I have decided to get myself back into shape after many set backs: shoulder surgery to reattach ligaments, 9 tears, acromium process cut back, had my hormones torched after a Dioxin exposure which put my free Test at 36...been a rough 10 years.

Prior to all of this I was 6'0, 196lbs in single digits of bf..currently 198# and approx 25% bf, age 47. I have about 15 years true lifting experience in iron.

I have a new MD and we are switching my HRT to injectable Test -vs- the special compounded 15% transdermal creme so I have high hopes to start feeling better plus have my body react more positively.

I have been given the green light to dose at whatever I am comfortable with, given 10 years with HRT, I know it quite well and so the new journey begins. Test Cyp is what I have been sent so I plan on starting at around 500mg q 5 days and eventually tapering off to 200mg, the time line I do not know as of yet because this is a permanent thing, all will be based around my labs, PSA, etc as to where I can settle for a standard dosage. Fortunately my MD has made available whatever I shall need or request, so this should be fun.

I greatly look forward Ronnie to trying your system, Thank You for making one that is a true "system." It somewhat reminds me of a Russian System I used in the early years that provided me with strong gains.

I am going to need to tweak it to work around my work schedule as a pro Firefighter/Paramedic which is a 48/96 meaning I work 2 straight days and off 4 straight days.

I had delayed returning to the gym because I had no program I felt confident in anymore, plus my hormones have been a battle but, I now have a system and one that I can agree with.

I figure running the prime several weeks will get me by until the Test starts to kick in some.

I am always open to suggestions, thoughts, etc because I love to learn and get heavily involved.

Bob, glad to see you are starting back. Shoulder injuries are a bummer!

The prime is only needed when total burnout from the blast occurs. I see no reason you can't start blasting now. You might want to start out with a 2 week deload before entering a reload to prevent getting too sore.

In general, 200 mgs per week of test cyp is idea for HRT. ;)

Thank You Ronnie...

I will do the deload for several weeks.... figuring that it will take 2-4 weeks before things before the Cyp starts to kick in plus this will allow me to get back in the mental groove of things.

A lot to cover in your system, anyone that has been around the game long enough knows there is so much conflict with what and how to do and not allowing old habits and knowledge to creep back in.

Once again, Thank You for creating your System and allowing all of us to have you as a resource and trainer, you are a rarity.
