Just wanted to say "what up" to you all.

I came across this forum while searching for information.

I don't compete in body building but am into fitness.

I had a long layoff from my routine, and am trying to get back into the swing of things, and have recently become interested in hormone therapies etc.

My big issue is that I have the mental toughness and tenacity to do the work required to get the look I want out of my body, but being a bit older now, the recovery time is not like it used to be, and the gains are hard to come by.

For the most part, I am losing some weight, and toning muscles but I'd like to start getting bigger and leaner. I tried dianabol in the past on a short cycle when I was younger. Now I am older, and have a couple of sports injuries that slow me down but don't stop me.

I want to train hard and strengthen my weak areas without doing any damage to my joints or ligaments.

I plan on seeing my doctor first to see what he can do for me, and then take it from there depending on what he says. I am hoping he prescribes me something that will be covered by my prescription card, but if he doesn't I'll try to procure my own.

I've read the forum for a couple of days before deciding to join and post. Do you guys have any tips for me? I am relatively inexperienced with anabolics outside the one time an old time buddy hooked me up with a cycle of oral Dianabol - methandrostenolone - .

Yah this has red flags all over it, but I am just a regular Joe, who wants to improve his quality of life, and was hoping some of you more experienced folks would chime in without confusing me too much.

Thanks.

OK...6' 215 lbs. Arms 17 1/2 inches, chest 48, waist 36 (yuck)
42 years old. The only history I have is that I did one 8 week cycle about 20 years ago of dianabol.

Right now, I have been tweaking my diet eating lean meats, vegetables and fruits, and am eating whey protein milkshakes.

My workouts consist of high reps with lighter weights as my initial goal is to condition my body, joints and ligaments again to weight lifting and to tone up and shed some fat.

I also do a lot of cardio, mostly treadmill, but the high reps with the lighter weights serves as cardio too. As I tone and get back into shape, I am going to back off cardio somewhat, back off the heavy reps with the lighter weights, and then start doing low reps with heavier weights.

My longterm goal is to get big and work on strengthening some weak areas (old injuries). Later on, say after another month or so on this routine, if I feel ready, I will change my workout for adding size and strength. By then I should have gotten my waist down to where I want it, and have the kind of stamina I used to have, and then, I can back of cardio, and start working towards getting bigger.

I've been doing this for almost a month, this is the beginning of the 4th week, and I lost 15 lbs, without reducing my calorie intake or losing any size on my arms chest etc. I am starting to get stronger and a bit cut, and I can see my abs starting to develop, and my clothes are fitting a bit better. I only want to do a cycle when I feel I am ready for it. Not quite there yet imo, but now is the time to educate myself about it.

Once I start moving towards getting bigger, I'd like to maintain it properly, and above all, if I do this at all, I want to do it right. I just want to do a cycle somewhere along the line this year to add size, and I am committed to changing my lifestyle back to an earlier time in my life where my physical fitness was a priority in my life.

Thanks for the warm welcome all of you gave me.

Welcome my friend.... Getting back into it and staying dedicated is the hardest part... it looks like you have done a good job of it so far... Before you jump into steroids id recommend trying some great products that can help give you a huge boost... Phyto-Testosterone and Dermacrine from PrimordialPerformance.com is a great place to start... Just look around and see the posts about how happy people have been... I have used Dermacrine with great results and am just in the middle of week 2 with my phyto-testosterone... Stack that together for 4-8 weeks and you are doing lean gains.. Amp02, Lipoflame and RawCC from agxsports.com is great stuff too, currently using both and loving it.... Again, welcome to the board, read up, take as much info in as you can and we wish you a happy, healthy and lean 08!

Is this stuff you mentioned available at like a GNC or can you only get it online? I've been reading some comments on Amp02, and Lipoflame, but don't quite understand what it does except maybe energize your workouts.

I'll look into Phyto-Testosterone, and Dermacrine as well as RawCC.
I need to read up on Creatine as well.

Basically, I am here to educate myself, and once I feel comfortable and feel I am ready, I might try a cycle, but hell that could be 6 months from now, for all I know. These other things might be enough for me for now, to help me get through the days when my energy is a little low.
