welcome to ef bro!

That is a question to be answered by none other than your personal physician.

If you have normal bp, no heart conditions, and are otherwise healthy, then you are at a perfect place for some good old test. And it will surely improve the quality of your life!!


(in my opinion, steroids were originally meant for men with declining test levels)

us young guÿs just reap benefits of supraphysiological androgen levels.

But you-you could feel 23 again!

I recommend doing a ton of research, as well as making sure your nutrition is up to par!

Also, what's your activity level look like? Hit the gym much?

Look foreward to hearing from you!!

Yes definetly. Get that checked, then take prostate support supps...like saw palmetto.

This blocks dht at the androgen receptor, and helps protect the prostate from enlargment.

How's your blood pressure?

I see no problem barring any current health issues.I did my 1st cycleTest E 300/wk abt a 6 mos ago at the age of 56 though I had used prohormones extensively before.I'm now on my second and see no reason not to incorporate it into my life/training management,
I have trained regularly for years and in good health and have had great results as well as a definite improvement in my sense of well being.Nobody in my life thinks I'm anywhere close to my age
Good luck bro

I'm 48 and thinking about doing my first cycle. Am I too old? If not, should I stay away from some particular steroids because of my age?

What is your training background? My opinion if you have a good base and you're diet is good I'd start with something like
300 mg a week test and 200 decca if you're pretty lean. You should get a good bang out of that.

We've talked about the normal health issues to get checked like cholesterol and blood pressure but is there issues with the prostrate at my age (48) if I was to do a cycle?

DHT = potentially bad for prostate. DHT is formed from testosterone through conversion.


Typically, it isn't an issue of any concern for low doses (less than 200mg weekly.)


I'll put it this way, if your prostate is healthy, you have nothing to worry about. If you have an enlarged prostate or other problems, then you will have to get that sorted out with your doctor and can still use testosterone, but you should not go over 100mg weekly which is a very standard therapeudic dose.

I was reading an article somewhere where they are now thinking estrogen is more a culprit of prostate issues than testosterone. The theory is a 54yr old man has more estrogen in his body than a 59yr old woman. As we get older, our test decreases while estrogen increases. We tend to have prostate issues later in life when test levels are at their lowest and estrogen is at the highest. Thoughts?? The prediction is in ten yrs or less TRT is going to be common place for most men over 50.

I wrote about this 10 years ago. It was pure speculation but it made sense to me. If prostate problems were a matter of T, then YOUNG men would have them when T is highest.

I had the resident chemistry snobs (Bill Roberts, Pat Armold, Lyle McDonaold and the a few other posers) chastise me -- saying I had no scientific evidence. I didn't. It was just a theory based on logic. As it turns out, it was correct.

Prostate problems in aging men are now being treated with emphasis on lowering estrogen.

My daughter was getting a checkup at the Dr. and I just happened to pick up a magazine related to health and it had the article in there. Makes sense, don't they even say to have as many orgasms as possible to keep your prostate functioning properly? That means keep your testosterone flowing.....You are ahead of your time Mr. Montana.......Keep up the tremendous work!!

Just back from the Dr. and my checkup. Attempted to express my concern that I have lost my drive, moody, tired, no sex drive, muscle loss in an effort to get my T tested... didn't work! Seemed to think my work schedule/volume was causing my issues, WHATEVER! The good news is kidneys, liver, blood pressure & cholesterol are all good. So I guess I have to decide if I'm jumping in with my first cycle. I appreciate all the advice offered and would appreciate comments relating to what my first cycle should be. Like most people my goal, if possible at my age, would be to put some mass back on my frame.
