Any (Olympic) weightlifters in this forum? Curious if there is a specific cycle you follow. Being a bit older im really just TRTing it - it does help but wondering if i really need to commit to a full cycle.

I know this is a bit old, but I do Olympic weightlifting recreationally nowadays after 10+ years of powerlifting style training with a few powerlifting competitions locally/provincially under my belt.
I normally just do test-e at a cruise dose of 250mg/week. I already built more muscle than is usually needed or wanted when powerlifting. The hardest part for me at first was work capacity. I was already able to squat 400+ for example, but practicing the explosive movements was fairly tiring. I'd imagine equipoise would help with this, though I haven't taken that specific compound. Honestly though, lots of GPP/conditioning work, daily mobility, and technique practice has done far more for me results wise than drugs. Test-e at 250 is already significantly higher than the average male anyways by about triple if I'm remembering this correctly.
Right now I'm doing a fat loss cycle, 1500-2000 calories/day with maybe ~200g protein and have some GLPs coming in the mail to see what they're like. They are certainly not necessary though either.
Doing daily overhead squats and mobility has done far more for me than any drug would. I might change my mind once I hit a 225 snatch/315 C&J and I start pushing higher than that, but so far that hasn't happened yet, so no need.

One word Mobility, we have a guy that trains from time to time at my gym and is pretty dam good at it and he spends a considerable amount of time working Mobility every week.
We have talked drugs at times he typically will run Test and EQ with some Tbol at times but nothing massive in regards to doses.

Interesting comments - You probably know who I am referring to, but one gent on another forum who competes at a specific weight in untested powerlifting always seemed to be on test and EQ/boldenone. He won the worlds for his weight many times.
I always found it an odd combo for explosive strength, but I was not going to question it as his accomplishments were impressive. He ran an amazing log and he spent a lot of time on mobility before training, but still ended up with a herniated disk. @Hussell - I am sure you know who I am referring to. I recall his good mornings were as heavy as most people's squats and for reps.
For non tested combat sports when cardio is needed, I always thought this was the best combo plus a non 'blow me up/more strength' dry oral for a week or two before the fight.
I don't get the boldenone for powerlifting or Olympic lifting - do you know why? If it works great, but I am curious how/why vs. other compounds I find much better for strength.
Hope all is well.
