This is what I've been experiencing over the years of using Gear..
I started at 31 yrs old..just Test at first..back then it was a lot harder to get gear and it wasn't a Buyer's market, like it is now..
What I have noticed over the years..the body changes as we age..for me, after 45 yrs old..certain compounds I have used in the past,weren't as effective as before, even after raising the dose..also,I noticed sides I didn't have before..
I've noticed compounds like Drol..EQ..Didn't seem to have the same effect as I got older..
It's called..Aging Out..
That for me, was the Risk heavily out weighed the Reward..High doses, brought way more sides..
Just like food..at 20..I could eat whatever I wanted..Train 6 days a week..Drink and Party till 2am..up at 7 for work..
No Problem..!!
Now..at 60..
It's about Longevity and being Healthy..
Bloodwork and keeping my Markers in range..
More Volume than pushing to Max..
Staying Injury Free..is #1..
Eating for Health..
Training smarter than before..acknowledging some exercises cause pain and listening to my Body..
Gear..TRT for most of the yr..maybe one Blast in that yr..
Lowering my doses..Milder compounds..
Having fun in the Gym,enjoying my lifts..
Yes, I like running Trestolone ..Now my favorite compound..
BUT..
At a much lower dose than most..with No Negative sides..
Rightnow..
I'm sidelined from Medical issues, not Gear related..I've been itching to get back in the Gym..
But, I'm listening to my Body more..
Hopefully, I'll get back on top soon..
AND..
Back to the Iron..
I've always believed..it's Not a matter of "IF"..
BUT..
When..something health wise comes along..
And,the better shape you are in, when it happens..the better chances you have of Beating it..
Last month's Dr.s appointment..I weighed in at 144lbs..a far cry from 185lbs..
It's been and continues to be a difficult for me to gain weight..between the Meds..sides from Meds and the Depression that comes with C..
Being just myself and Yoshi..life has it's Challenges..
This Lifestyle surely isn't easy, but I wouldn't change a Thing..
It's not the Designation..it's the Journey..
So..Enjoy the Ride..!!
Sorry for the Rant..
