Just turned 56 10 days ago. Got back into working out 2 yrs ago. Did my 1st steroid cucle first of this year. Unreal the drastic change it has made to my life. Lot more energy, much stronger workouts, and sex life back to what it was in my 20's. Getting ready to start 2nd cycle in a few weeks. Staying on test year round because of extremely low test blood results.

Can you give us a summary of your cycle, diet and workout?

Any other advice for the over 40's?

We have all learned a lot and some of it the hard way.

I'm pushing 43.....is it a bad sign that I just had to ask my nephew how old I was? I lifted hard from age 13 to about 25 and was a very slender 125# at 6' tall - about 6% bf. I was ripped. Got married, got fat (for me at 205#) and started lifting again, so I could keep up with my fly fishing habit.
At 205#, I was slender with a beer gut and out of shape. Since then I dropped to 185# at about 13% bf and have started my way to a lean 250#. Right now, I'm at 240# and 18% bf and on a bulk up/strength cycle. I'm doing Madcow's 5X5 and it's incredible for size/strength.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it............

Were some things easier when I was 25, hell yes, but I wouldn't change a thing now. I've got a great wife, a great job and I get to fish nearly any time I want to. I just doesn't get any better than this......where's that Swedish bikini team, any way?

Hello ALL,
This is my first time on this board as well as my first message -

I'm 46 (47 in September)
Started working out when I was 38 (to gain weight) I went from 135lbs to my current 165lbs. and I'm definately not complaining. I currently look younger, better, and feel more confident then ever.

I know your gonna say 165 isn't big -but from where I came from I'm excited!!!! .. I'd love to get LEANER, HARDER, BIGGER!!! Thats will always be my goal! I just LOVE working out - totally addicted to it, and can't get enough.

Well hopefully I'll find and talk to you guys soon.

DAMN I didn't mean to RAMBLE ON - but oh well - ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 1st cycle was wks 1-10 500mg test 250 mg deca, wks 1-4 30 d-bol day, nolva and clomid for pct. 3200 calories day. 50%pro, 30%carbs, 20% fat. Worked out 4 days wk, cardio 2 or 3 times wk. Had real good gains, about 15 lbs mostly muscle % body fat stayed about same as all I had was some in midsection. At 15% fat end of cycle. About week after cycle started feeling sluggish found out test dropped to low even with taking other supplements to try keep up. Went to 200mg test wk to maintain good levels and told will be from now on. Fixing to start 2nd cycle with Wk 1-10 750 test, 400 EQ 40 d-dbol day wk 1-4, nolva for gyno if needed, .25 arimedex EOD wk 1-16. 500 iu HCG every 5 days. Won't need PCT since go back to 200mg test wk. Also w/o 3 days week off cycle little lighter weights cardio 3 times wk.
