Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I'm 46, have check ups run regularly, and eat proscar like candy while I'm on because my father had prostate cancer. Still love being on, but have noticed a definite decline in my ability to hang onto my gains, which is more than likely associated with slower hpta recovery. Next time out, I'll be using hcg for the first time. Hell, when I started back in the 80's, all we had was nolvadex and evening primrose oil, which was supposed to protect something, but nobody knew exactly what. Thank god for the internet and access to better info.
Anyone over 40 using AS?
- Thread starter benchpressr23
- Start date
38, have cycled(I hate that word) on and off since 18 years of age. Started back after a 6 year lay off. I'm stronger and bigger than ever. The main difference is my bones and joints hurt more, that could be from 24 years of lifting but i'm sure age has something to do with it as well. Never coming off, fuck it , I'll go for quality over quantity. I will keep everything monitored. At the rate I'm going, I have a chance to be a top lifter in the world in bench press and dead lift in the master's division.
As the baby boomers age, a growing number of them are actually being prescribed AS for what is being called andropause. Some medical ins. even picks up the bill! Sweet!

I am 59, started my first cycle at 58. Have put on 40# of muscle.
As you get older, arimidex is important to control estrogen and the subsequent water retention.
BP has a tendency to elevate. I am on 750 Test 300 Primo and 150 Tren EOD with no problems. Will probably hit a plateau on muscle gain at some point. I am in the 14th week of this cycle and I alternated D-bol, 2 week on - 2 weeks off up until last week.
Have lost no hair, have no acne.
Those over 50 are probably at an increased risk for connective tissue injuries because of the aging effect, although some GH might help that. I get strong fast, but I have to be careful not to outdistance my ligaments.
I pyramid up on every exercise and never go below 8 reps, targeting 10 for each set. I work out each muscle group once a week. Recovery time is an issue for older BBers. They need more time even on juice.
Weigh 220 with about 19% body fat. Started out at 187 with 25% bodyfat.
I use light weights because of previous injuries. Standing curl with 70, Flat Bench 230 - @10 times. Pushing yourself to keep up with the guys in their 30s will lead to injuries. Benching with sets of 3 to 5 are hazardous and overtraining is extremely easy. I have to restrain myself from pushing too hard. Forced reps and heavy negatives is asking for trouble in those over 55.
My body looks like a guy in his 20s. Will drop some of the weight post cycle. Intend to take a 2 month break then get on a 1g Test, D-bol, Deca then later Tren cycle.
PSA was 1.5 on D-bol, Test and Deca. Cholesterol was 129 with 4:1 ratio. Usually at 159 with 2:1 ratio. Liver values were well within limits.
As long as the biochemical profile is positive, there is no reason no to stay on juice until you are 80.
We are all going to die. Lets die on our feet not on our knees.

Im 41 and...
I have done AS off and on for 20 years. I do have a blood pressure problem so I keep an eye on that. I don't use the amounts that I used to and I use DHEA. I'm ok....

He should have no problem. I am close to 60, have been cycleing for many years with no problems. My personal approach is to avoid 17aa orals, do reasonable cycles, have anti-e's on hand if you need them. Likewise, i work one bodypart a day(once a week) allowing for plenty of recovery time and it works wonders. Used to try to follow what hte young guys did and all that bought me was overtraining and chronic injuries.
Re: Oldsters
Nice going. There's a guy in my gym that is over 60, says he doesn't juice, but that's noone's business. Anyway, he has an incredible build, I think better than mine. Huge arms, small waist. Probably 6'1" and 230. He can bench over 300 easy. I am impressed.
