Old men and gear...Does it matter?

[tunaman7]

Brothers. I am now at the ripe old age of 51. Im getting fucking AARP membership cards in the mail on a weekly basis. The music that I loved from the 80s is now classified as (gulp) "oldies". Then here comes Ms.Tuna who says "aren't you getting a little too old to run gear". Oh shit...the nail in the coffin. Now I know that I'm chronological older...but...physiologically I think I am very much younger than my actual age. So...I dont have any fear of running some test and some compounds year round...albeit blast and cruise.

So here is the question...when should a man decide to simply run a TRT regiment and abandon compounds? I may very well let my prostrate be my guide. As far as my nuts go...sure there is some atrophy but they always bounce back (of course they hang a little lower with age...I dont have to bring a cup with me to take a shit just yet...the cup is used to lower the water level in the bowl so your balls dont get wet when you sit).

Opinions please...what is the measuring stick to help you to decide when to go to a TRT regiment?

I'm 50 myself and I don't see myself stopping using gear. Although, gear seemed to do a lot more for me when I was younger then today.

Honestly man, I'd play it just like anyone at any age.. watch your health, get bloods drawn regularly, keep everything In check, cruise when needed, etc and I don't see a reason 51 would be different than 31 as long as you're taking every pre caution. Now, you MAY or may not be more prone to sides or bad effects on health, but if you're watching it and fixing it immediately then its really no different IMO.

Jesus. Talk about forum lag there. If a mod could delete all but one of those duplicate replies that'd be great haha

Easy...when I am dead!!! Granted you will want to continue to have regular blood work, remind yourself you are not 20 anymore...even though you will feel so, and be smart, train smart, eat smart, blast & cruise smart, probably stay away from compounds that increase BP, and continue with this lifestyle we love...just use your common sense, take care of yourself and continue to enjoy the ride!!! I am only in my early 40's but living this way now...so just need to keep myself from being reckless lol...plus we have the community of brothers to keep us in check!!!

LMAO...I just read this, WTF??? Scrotum Sack is all stretched out or something??? Never heard of this problem, maybe I am in for a surprise later in life lol???

 

[flyingfox]

Does it matter.....I say yes. Our bodies are not as forgiving as they once were. That being said we only get one life and this is who I want to be. We just have to be a little smarter is all, regular physicals, blood work, prostate....all that good stuff. I still think I'm a kid at heart and as long as I'm healthy why quit?
Stay the course brother!

 

[JM750]

Naahhh. my sack is just fine at my age. Don't worry M/A

Visual I could have done without...why don't you make an appointment with Dr. A and see if he can help you with that...maybe a Scrotum Tuck???

good advice MA.... i'm 45 and plan on blasting and cruising the rest of my life... but mostly cruise on trt level test... and keep regular check ups with my doctor in case of issues

 

[Wacker]

That's a great question, but I think a individual answer. If I look as good as you do at 55 and could get away with trt and HGH my guess is that's what I will do. I'm 43 in a few days and my wife has asked me the same question...when will you be happy. My answer when I'm done ;D. Will I be happy at 205, 210, 220 who knows but as of today I continue my quest for perfection.

I don't drink, don't do drugs, eat good, and keep my family safe, as long as I can continue to do that and stay healthy I have no plans of stopping.

 

[sportsfreak]

Your way too fucking old! Hand over all your stash and keep ms. Tuna happy..... Lmao
Dude, keep training and blasting with regular bloods, those come back normal and your prostrate isn't the size of a watermelon, its all good!!

HORMONES= FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Sylvester Stallone

I seen a picture of a 70 year old dude on a forum couple years ago. He was on test-e 250 year round and added in various compounds from time to time. I hope I look that good at 70 years old.

 

[Dago]

Seen another pic of stallone and steven tyler side by side same age different life styles hormones etc...tyler got girl titties looks like he might drop dead at any moment. Stallone 6 pack looking like a porn star. I'm in this shit for life

 

[tunaman7]

Well...to be honest...this thread was to convince Ms Tuna that im not going to shit out my liver by running gear. I really plan onv running year round with a little blast / cruise. I think I have a good argument that will help ease her mind
