GEAR FOR THE OLDER ATHLETE...

[Scrawny1]

Tricepfreak, I'm FIFTY-NINE (59!!!). I've been lifting all my life and juicing off and on going on 19-20 years. I use some common sense, and take a lot of stuff for sides plus a lot of "regular" supplements. My doc says I'm the healthiest 50 something guy he has ever seen (he doesn't know abou the juicing). I figure my face looks about my age, but from the neck down I could be 25 - and a pretty damn healthy 25 at that. Anyway, I don't think you're ever to old to start. Follow the bros advice - especially MikeS and xcel - they have been around a long time and know their shit, and you'll be fine.

Hi Chuck.

I was just wondering how you function when (if?) you come off cycle. How is your natural strength and libido after two decades of cycles.

Thanx,

I would add igf-1, ghrp-6 and hex to any cycle for rebuilding your joints.

Heck. I am 57 and about to start another cycle after being off for five years. Did my first cycle when I was 46. The first cycle is always the best. Why is that?

I am going to go with 600 mg of EQ (I love that stuff) and 500mg of test per week on my next cycle. Unfortunately, the side affects are more severe with us older guys, so we need to supplement with anti-e's and maybe some Propecia.

i would not say the sides are any worse for us older guys try cutting the EQ dose down i cant handle much of that stuff really jacks me up.i found longer low dose cycles works wonders. to answer tricepfreak plenty of good sponsors here on this board.

The thread is from 03

That guy is 53 now. The thread is over 5 years old. Hope he met his goals and is happily reading the AARP magazine tanning his abs on an island somewhere

hi guys ,
same as most of you i am 47 i ve found over the years the easest starting cycle is test e and eq 2x a week easy no sides and good reults for a first times As you said you've been at it for awhile so i dont have to harp on the imporance of diet and good pct
after that read you ass of and ask about your second
best of luck and i hope that i have a body that lokks 25 before 50.
just had a baby boy 16/01/2009 3520g and 52 cm so i want to be able to keep up for at least awhile
good luck

I have not had a drink since 10-12-96.

...after prison I stayed off the booze for around three months, then decided I could drink safely....HELLO???

I went back out, and stayed drunk for another six years...then, I finally hit a horrible "bottom", and that was it.

I was consuming 5 cases of beer a week (plus reefer)

I got involved with Alcoholics Anonymous, realized there was a problem and the problem was ME...the drinking was but a symptom...I had to find out why I drank, which is a life-long process.

I actually first started lifting in prison...guys in there with huge arms and no legs...they build up to look good in a tight tee shirt when they stroll across the prison yards...
I even lifted during the rest of my drinking career...blood pressure was so high that the room would go around in cirles with dizziness when I laid on a bench to do presses.
LOL. It's a wonder I didn't pass out a few times.

I do not wear my sobriety "on my sleeve", but without my sobriety today I would not have a thing.

Regards.....JB

I woulk like to ask you a serious question if I may.
Have you talked to your sponsor about your thoughts about using gear?
