[mature muscle]

I saw this post on alin board and the responce was amazing. i know personaly it has changed my life for the better.

 

[Has beens]

I feel I look better than most my age. I know I feel better than I do when I am off.

I will not attribute all of my wellbeing and physical appearance to aas but it has def made a difference over the years. At least hrt has. Better quality of life in general, but it also goes with lifestyle. Training and diet, doing other things outside of bbing, hobbies etc. it all contributes to the big picture. But yes hrt, trt has made a difference. I do not look 48 and most of the over 40's I see look like shit! Seriously overweight, weak as piss, not healthy, smoking, drinking, pissed of wives............the list goes on. If they would only wake up to themselves they would enjoy the latter end of thier lives instaed of sitting in the pub drinking beer with thier sorry assed mates bitching about how hard done by they are........!!!

I have trained since I was a young lad, 13 or 14 and have never stopped. But as we age test levels decline rapidly. it is then you need to seek professional assistance to gain back that aspect of your lives. You will feel youthful and invigorated, not to mention wanting to have sex all the time. Most women see this as a blessing, because at late 30's and 40's women are usually at thier sexual prime. So being able to keep the fire burning is important for a happy healthy relationship!!

I agree that it does. I attribute Test and GH for making me have enough energy for killer workouts like 30 year olds can do. Guys and women at the gyms I go to guess I am 10 years younger than i really am. I don't see how a guy in the mid 50's could put on so much mass without Test and GH.........

oh, yeah, the most important (LOL) my sex drive is that of an 20 year old!

I will certainly agree with that guys.Its great having the sex drive of a high school kid. My wife also trains and cycles var and takes 10mgs test a week. Look out! We have porn type sex at least three times a week and thats pretty good considering we have been married 20 years.

10mgs test / wk? Test e? Any sides other than horny?

I hope I will find out, but I doubt I can.
Due to impending legal implications and the biased view and fear of prescribing even HRT from docs, there really is no supply-even for those that are trying to go the legal route and use AAS/GH to fight aging as we get closer to our fourth decade and beyond.

I did my last real bb'ing cycle in Early 2004.
That being a stack of 2-3 compounds, no orals and no where close to the 2 gram mark I see so many people use as a baseline.

Disgruntled with the quality and legality of the AAS market and possible health implications of carrying on hard core bodybuilding I just stopped.

Competing is kinda out of the question as you are forced to break the law if you live in the US.

What would I recommend for aging gents?
Well for guys 35-45 probably no more than 600 mgs per week, perhaps a mix of 400 mg Test and 200 mg Deca. 3 iu's GH a day or 6 iu's EOD for 3 months on for their cycles. Rest of the time they can stay on HRT doses of 100 mg test a week.

As one gets older (45-55) for anti-aging 300 mg per week or so, 1-2 iu's GH a day or 2-4 iu's EOD. Perhaps some lo dose T4 (50-75 mcgs) or T3 (harder to control, fast half life) 10 mcgs a day (5 mcgs x 2). Again cycling down to 100 mg per week for a period of time.

Anti-E's/aromatases? Not real big on them anyway, but if one should use them it should be in very low doses even in competitive bb'ers as they are very powerful.

One gets even older, probably some test gel everyday or 150 mg per week of Test and some GH in low doses to off set aging and probably some T4 to offset a slowing aging Thyroid and metabolism.

These are just general recomendations and not medical advice of course and what I would do if I had the legal choce to do so.

I do hope this impending war on baseball goes away and dies down like some say it will but we will see.

Also the aging athlete should have a whole cabinet full of supplements they take for cholesterol control and anti-oxidants which maybe we could cover in another thread.

none yet. test -e

I've been on HRT for over eight years myself (I'm almost 39), and I can say that my life has definitely improved for better. My 20 year high school reunion was last August, and almost every guy that I knew had become heavy and fat. I, on the other hand, was 210, 8% bf (6' 0") and put them all to shame. I'm more confident while on, I can focus on my job, I can make decisions, and like everyone else who posted--sex drive of a 20 year old.

 

[norm1220]

My fiancée has made it clear that we are committed to keeping me on a nice healthy dose of test. LOL.... she may be more pissed about Operation Raw Deal than I am. She is less than pleased that the government thinks it has the right to mess with her sex life.

Hmm... maybe that is the key to getting our supplements de-regulated, Lots of women voters out there.

Amen to that. If more women would stand up for our right to enjoy sex in our later years we would all walk around with smiles on our faces!!!

ALL OF THE ABOVE

all that you guys said and more, being in construction aint easy when your over 45, and I was seeing 5 different women last year, ( no not at the same time) all of them almost ten years younger than me, this whole lifestyle has been very positive for me, unlike OF I was a hardcore party animal til my late 20's, i would join a gym and go for a month or two and then get back to partying with the wrong crowd and well you get the idea . It was until I was getting a divorce and moving out of my house when my little girl was 3 years old that was the turning point, I KNEW then I had to change. It's has been getting better ever since, i can't say anything bad except the things that MG already said.

 

[shoestring]

I am 40 & have only done 2 very low dose test cycles. I have lifted on a regular basis for over 25yrs. At 38 I decided to see what a little T would do. Liked the results . But I was already looking muscular, but it def kicked it up a notch. I would say it helped renew my interest in BB & fitness. It is like a tool you have if you want to improve your physique above the genetic limits of natural BB. If there was no down side health wise I would go crazy. But realisticly I would like to add some more & then do some minimal Maintanance.

I don't see what HRT has to do with the pending legal issues surrounding Major League Baseball or vice versa!

I know quite a few physicians who prescribe Testosterone to men over the age of 33-35 if their "T" readings are equal to or below the average they should be for a specific age range!

Testosterone is NOT illegal in the USA if it's prescribed by a Physician! It's illegal for professional athletes to take them because it breaks certain "laws" associated with the league's policies! Barry Bonds could LEGALLY inject Testosterone IF
1) He was prescribed them by a Physician and
2) Provided he was NO longer a member of any professional sports team/association who's policy included a ban on the use of sports enhancing drugs!

Steroids are NOT illegal! Steroids are only Illegal IF they are used without a valid prescription and/or purchased from the "black" market!

First, I think most of the guys here can read without the overabundance of highlighting and underlining. If they can't they're to stupid to supplement with gear in the first place.

Maybe what they are trying to say is that the doctors that would normally prescribe such a medication have ceased due to the heat. I know a number of local docs that totally stopped prescribing in the last year because of what has happened. To them, the laws are so exploited as to government and public media views that they do not want to take a chance and lose their license. There is a grey line that most doctors are unsure of now since the clinics and a number of other doctors were busted. So, in the end, it's not whether the law states it is legal, it's actually perception of the courts and as I stated, most doctors, if they are smart, will deviate from unnecessary prescibing.

At 42 I stay on year round, 150mg test cyp. when not cycling on EQ, deca, and winny. I usually will do 2 full 8 week cycles a year just to maintain my size and strength; and work out EOD. I have been doing this for 7 years.(been around alot longer than the number of posts I have)

But the main thing I notice is that I am CALM, HAPPY AND ENJOY LIFE MUCH BETTER!!!!!

 

[mars1960]

I'm 47yrs old and started cruising on sust@250mg wk 2yrs ago.
I feel great and can keep up with the younger lads at the gym no probs.
The best plus though is having the sex drive of a teenager, my missus loves it.

At 52 years old, trying to grow was next to impossible without gear. I ate right, took every legal supplement known to man, worked out very hard, got lots of sleep, but my progress was so slow that I almost stopped training. Thanks to AAS I now love training again, I am making great progress, I have a body most guys in their 20's would die for, and my self confidence has greatly improved. I am engaged to a beautiful 27 year old girl who is the love of my life, and I have had absolutely no side effects from steroids other than some acne on my upper body which I'm not worried about. Oh, my blood pressure is a little high but some cardio will help that and I do keep an eye on it. So in my case the decision to juice was one of the best ones I ever made.

 

[thebrick]

I am 54 and feel great. People tell me I look 40. I think they are full of shit. Seriously, without a doubt, my HRT has made my life much better. Especially at my age. The sex, my training frequency and intensity, my body composition, my mood, energy, my self image... all good. Thanks to HRT. I do have to keep closer tabs on my blood pressure and lipids. Its a small price to pay vs. the benefits.

54 WTF? No friggin way. I have seen pics of you on here and I have to tell ya, you do not look anywhere near 54. I think they were right in assuming you were in your low 40s. Good job man.
