Senior cycle: Can you gain at older age?

[thelion2005]

Senior cycle? Sounds like a dog food blend. LOL

We've had some discussion about HRT and Cycles ... which is which. And some speculation about the muscle building effects of a typical cycle on an older man who already is following a healthy diet, exercise routine, and recovery.

Men over 40, but less than 50 have reported great gains that brought them satisfaction.

So ... What about pushing the limits and seeing what happens over 60?

I did my research, asked the top people here and selected:
Test c
Nand
dbol
HGH
amiridex

My aas grand mg total will be 400 - 600 p/w over 10 weeks. I want the lowest dosage, lowest sides, with most reasonable gain. 10-15 pounds with accompanying strength and size gains sounds right to me. That will put me at 225, 6 ft tall.

I'm also taking whey protein, creatine and "VIBE", which is a multipul vit/min drink. I'm not loading up though. I want to see the effects of the cycle, not added otc foods. I'm adding fluids to combat cramps. My 5 protein/slow carb meals will stay the same except for the addition of 8 oz tuna at lunch.

I'll keep my push/legs&abs/pull/rest routine. A nap of 30 minutes will be added to the 7-8 hours sleep I normally get.

Started Monday 7/10/2006. Might be placebo effect, but my spirits are higher, I've made some gains with the wo, gained 3 pounds (maybe water ... but so what if it makes my joints less painful?), and gotten a few double looks from the public as I was shopping. Probably not used to seeing people my age without a walker and an oxy tank.

LMAO that comment freakin' cracks me up! Kudos to you for making people say "WTF?!?!".

I'm going to watch this thread closely....keep us posted!

Finished my first week and have to say, this is pleasant. Two shots in the glutes a week and a few pills every day with my vits. I had to add some more water to the Vibe because it is concentrated and hurt my guts.

Workout strength is up along with either the weights or reps going up too. I'm being very conservative so I don't rip something.

Body weight is up 5 pounds. Probably water, but it sure feels good. Lots of aches and pains gone.

No sides to mention. No cramps.

Sleep is a solid 8 hours. Even taking a little pm nap. Recovery is a must. I can force myself through a workout with missed sleep, but it is counterproductive.

I'll push the dosage up a bit soon ... maybe another 100mg total p/w.

Very interested in this for my future. Also, very smart of yourself by going lighter on the dosages. I can grow off 250 per week of Test at 29yo 200lbs so I see no need to bump up another 100mgs.

i will also watch this i do a light dose of test 125mg per week. I'm 50 and i feel a lot better, I want to experiment so i will be watching this thread.

Second week behind me and body weight is up a total of 9.5 pounds. I'm slightly larger in chest, arms, quads and calves. Waist is the same. If this is all bloat, it is evenly distributed.

Weights in all lifts have continued to climb or reps have gone up, but I can see that I'm going to hit some plateaus soon. When that happens, I'll just stay at that weight and go for more reps. Once I can do 12 reps, I'll just hold it there until it is easy.

Old aches and pains are gone ... sleep is good ... no deca-dick problems. I do feel "hot" a lot and perspire more. No cramps as long as fluids are high. One banana a day added to the diet.

I really crave fast sugars, especially chocolate, cakes and pies. I could binge on this stuff if I let my guard down.

Raised dosages a small amount. 225 for test, 125 for nand and 140 for dbol ... weekly total of 490 ... up from 405. I actually look forward to injection day.

It is said that test and nand kicks in the third week. Perhaps my gains have been all dbol. Next two weeks should be interesting then.

Everything looks good bud. How's the BP with the Dbols?

Good luck to you. Get big before age steals all your lean muscle.

Don't understand this tho:

>>I'm not loading up though. I want to see the effects of the cycle, not added otc foods.<<

Eat eat and eat some more. Get as huge as possible off this cycle can't understand why you would limit your growth by limiting your food intake.

Same reason I didn't change my workouts. I wanted to keep some constants in the experiment. I wanted to see what the aas does.

I eat a lot ... no problem there.

Next update is middle of next week.
