Age and Roids

[seniormuscle]

I'm a 72 yr old BBer who's just getting back into the sport, Let's face it--at my age, the nuts just don't put out like they used to, so a little chemical help is in order. What do your members suggest? I have access to most roids.

 

[Weam]

Any Steroid that do not converts to DHT will be excellent as Primobolan, Anavar etc.
You have to concern on DHT side effects more than anything else, as at your age you're at a higher risk for prostate cancer so watch out what you're doing

 

[Lift Or Die]

LOL. If I was 72 years old I would use most anything and not worry about it. The clock is ticking!

For a guy your age, I recommend teststerone, not just for muscle growth but for increased sex drive and motivation. More specifically try Sustanon 250. It's a mixture of four different testosterones, some lasting longer and some with shorter durations. Get enough for at least 500 to 750 mgs a week (2-3 shots a week). Hope this helps.
Good Luck!!!

taking Testosterone at your age is a big no no, maybe at age of 50-60 would be acceptable but at your age, I don't think so espically with such a dosage, 100mg/week is totally enough
there is no enough studies for men 70yrs & +

 

[seniormuscle]

So there aren't any studies concerning men my age ( 72 ) using roids. Is there any info on labs who might be interested in trying suck a study?

 

[MaxBiceps]

Weam, what's wrong with a 72 yaer old man using test versus any other steroid? I think it would be a good idea sice he's just rplacing what his body can no longer produce in sufficient quantities. That's why they use Test in hormone therapy with older men going through "male menopause." Simply because testosterone is the main steroid all men produce naturally (as opposed to nandrolone, etc.). You might be right that 500-750mgs is too high though. One concern is (with any steroid), the increase of ldl's (bad cholesterol), and the decrease of hdl's (good cholesterol). Are there any steroids that don't affect cholesterol negatively? Anyone have an opinion?

 

[Horny]

try high dose replacement first, then go to phamacological dosages if you want. Try like 100mg testosterone a week for a couple of months. THen look into using higher dosages along with synthetics. Alot of men your age are hypogonadical and will recieve test replaement if they just go get a blood test.

 

[mwmdewes]

You should rather consider taking GH don't overdo it but at your age it will work the best.Good for all the joints and you will feel a lot healthier ...... my dad's golf game has improved alot since I put him on GH and viagra

 

[Jeff_rys]

Viagra and golf

mwmdewes, i didn't know Viagra was great for golfing.
LOL

 

[ptRICK]

i have a friend almost your age who juices..he checks his blood chemistries and PSA annually as well as a general physical exam and he looks great

 

[badazzwhitedude]

Low test dosages should be ok. If you take too much, a lot of it will convert to DHT, which is not good for your prostate, as mentioned above. But 100 mg a week should do the trick. You should have very low, if any DHT conversion with that amount. Very safe and conservative dosage.

 

[Weam]

I'm with ya badazzwhitedude,
The average man loses 50% of his testosterone between 50 and 70 years of age and moderate amount of testosterone could increase both his muscular strength and sexual functions. The only concern is that extra testosterone may cause a preexisting prostate cancer to spread through the body.
also if I were you I would do an annual blood test on Prostate specific anti-gen (an indication if you can get cancer in the near or far future) if it was higher than 6, then Testosterone therapy should never at any way be given

beside that, at least every 3months a blood test including the following Blood pressure, Cholesterol/HDL,
Hematocrit , Liver function tests especially Gamma GT

Prostate CANCER is relatively rare...prostate ENLARGEMENT is common!!! I don't thing our 72 year old brother wants to be catheterized just to empty his bladder. It might be a good idea to get a prostate exam if you can stand some dude probing your anus. If it is still smaller than a grapefruit go with test. If it is in fact enlarged, I would stack a moderate dose of Deca with a low dose of test. The only sides of Deca are from test suppression and activation of progesterone receptors. Taken alone, it might actually stop prostate enlargement and hairloss, but you won't have any sex drive.

Anyone disagree?

 

[Daeo]

I'd wait a few more years. At your age you can grow plenty without steroids.

I just had to say that...

 

[RADAR]

Ya Gotta hand it to him-HE'S DA MAN!!!! not many people half his age are gung ho on handling iron...Welcome to the Game Man!!!!!

Prostate cancer incidence rates increased 141.8% between 1973 and 1994. In 1998, new prostate cancer cases will total 184,500, about one new case every three minutes. Prostate cancer continues to be the most frequently occurring malignancy (aside from skin cancers), representing 29% of all new cancer cases in American men.

especially men age 50 and older -- more than 75 percent of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over the age of 65.

Test do not interfer with Progesterone but Progestins & Estrogen can interfer with Progesterone or even androgen receptors
a;sp Progesterone is an 5 alpha reductase inhibitor wich works for prostate cancer & will helps prostate cancer, while Testosterone will make it worth
Progestins as Deca-durabolin (19-nor Progesterone) induce the growth of existed prostate tumors & cannot decrease it ay any way, beside that Deca-duraboline is 5 alpha reductase which will converts to DHT & makes everything much much worsen

 

[solidspine]

I'm 50 and almsost anything I take makes me grow, I think the same will be true for you.

Try a EQ and Test cycle for 10-12 weeks You will feel great, make immediate gains, and keep the gains from EQ.

 

[Mass Monster]

Yea I agree give it a few more years a good diet will do wonders then go from there No but I would take test for while 200mg-300mg a week and mybe some d-bol, what the hell

[Weam]

it's a 22years solidspine, not 3-4years older than you

Seniormuscle it's your life but you should know that people at your age find out how to live more with eating very well, training everyday (4-5) and even taking chinese herbs. you shouldn't use much Steroids and don't listen to everybody

At 72, IF! you have low test there are some potentially
serious complications:
higher incindence of heart disease, and for us, osteoporosis!!
If your lifting, especially as weights get heavier you can fracture and even break things, like fusing your back, hips, etc.
Get a blood test an if needed, get some replacement test, then if you want, go from there.

btw, Dan Duchane wrote anyone over 40 should take deca, because of the conversion and also cancer isn't caused by juice, but it will cause an existing one to grow rapidly. I personally think its caused by an excess of estrogen,,,,,if it was test, it'd be a disease of 18 year olds.
