TRT for "old" strikers.

[Frode Falch]

So i know many here are in their 40s or maybe even older.

Whats your plan for staying in shape going into your older age?

I plan to keep training until i die in hopefully old age.

So as i birthday to myself. I started TRT on January 6th. The day before my 46 birthday.

As a birthday gift and future investment into my own health.

I take 180 mg testosterone a week. And mk667

I am your age and out of shape right now because of illness but there is no reason for me to go on TRT. First always take blood work and look if you actually have low T (I dont). Dont let a doc that profits financially make that evaluation. Keep in mind every intake of a drug has a price to pay . . With synthetic testosterone you increase your risk of cancer in general. There are no long term studies as the topic is too new and a direct correlation has been disproven but IGF-I and free testosterone are proven as clear enhancers of prostate cancer (enhances PSA) which one out of eight men gets more or less depending were you live.

You also have other factors to look out for like what if you cant use TRT anymore because of an illness but your natural production is shot dead. You will then have very serious complications like bone density loss...etc. If you grow older your cell division gets more and more faulty. Thats one of the reasons why lower TRT can be a health benefit in age. Nature is not stupid

All in all I agree that TRT can help a lot from 50 onwards. But the definition of TRT is so loose and little researched that I would only get on TRT if you have health complications that are based on low TRT never just to enhance your performance.

Its never just a benefit. Rogan and others normalized it way too much while ignoring all that. I know 75 year old boxers being in very good shape without any synthetic hormones.

I highly support it.
I would ditch the mk667 though. Having used it from reputable dealers many times, it’s just not worth it financially (it will never compare to real HGH anyways). Also if youre prone to cancers mk677 can possibly accelerate cancer/tumor growth much like real growth. Just not worth the risk imo.

42 yo. Still feel good but noticing a small change. Personally, I plan to stay natty for life. The body works perfectly as it is. If testosterone is lower, there's a reason for that. By adding it artificially, I worry that I would enjoy a relatively short term boost for a reduction in overall longevity. Maybe our levels are supposed to fluctuate for a reason, especially in response to the immune system when you're feeling crappy and your body would naturally want to slow down instead of adding more testosterone all the time. That's pretty much how Lance Armstrong gave himself cancer. He may have also been messing with HGH.

Plus, I would not want to have a big red cherry head like Dana, Rogan, etc all seem to get after being on trt for awhile.

But, maybe it's worth it for you. You get to feel stronger and enjoy your training more and better recovery. A lot of guys say that they wish they had started sooner. And if you're careful about your dosing and have a healthy diet and lifestyle, maybe you can feel young and strong and have good longevity too. Look at Stallone and Schwarzenegger, they're having their cake and eating it too. Good for them. So maybe for some guys, it is the best way to go to extract the most from your body and overall life enjoyment.

I've heard about guys giving themselves planned breaks every few months to give their body a chance to rest and reset. Might be something to consider.

40 years old and went to get my my T levels tested to see if I could get on the sauce to help with aches and pains of pad holding and actively training fits. Results came back at 828 so apparently I’m just stuck with being sore and tired all the time

Testosterone levels increases with training so why not Up the training when you get older?

I still train like when i was active. 1-2 sessions 6-7 days a week

Well enjoy it man. I felt great going into my 40s.

It was not until 44-45 i started to feel a solid dip downward in both my everyday energy and mood.



Even my morning boner started to become a bit less hard... ;(

If you hit the ceiling as young then obviously injections will improve levels, but if somebody is training 2 days a week and gets old and trains 4 times, then he should see a boost in testosterone.

Intensity also plays a part.

Disapointed in Frode. Not the clean cut guy anymore.

 

[NoSmilez]

Respectfully if you aren't getting your blood work done then you aren't on TRT. You are are just on steroids.

Nah i am getting old my friend. And i dont plan on fighting anymore. So its fair play imo.

We only live once

Im halv way there. I do Blood work two times a year

It's drugs. You're creating phisical dependence. Shutting down your own natural testosterone production. Stop

 

[Trabaho]

Nah i am getting old my friend.

bro you're not supposed to be explosive at 46 like at 28. You got experience now. You can coach.

And i dont plan on fighting anymore. So its fair play imo.

is it fair for you. You're a good person you don't want to hurt your endocrine system.

We only live once

Yeah, hence respect the phisics of the body.

I need at least five more quote answers from the same post

I never even used any supplements when I was active in Karate/Judo in my 20s. Now I'm only doing fitness/calisthenics but I take my vit C, D and magnesium daily and added creatine last year which has really improved my performance and muscle mass. I wish I took all of that 20 years ago, I would probably perform better and gain more muscle at the time. Better late than never.

I wouldn't consider TRT now (I don't feel the need) but my point is - if it works for you (and your doctor allowed it), go for it.

Wishing you the best of health @Frode Falch !

Great advice bro. I'll go down to the senior living center and have them do two a day HIIT training. I'm sure they'll all respond well and be jacked in no time.

In conclusion, the data presented here indicate that strength training can induce growth hormone and testosterone release, regardless of age, but that the elderly response does not equal that of the young.

Effects of progressive resistance training on growth hormone and testosterone levels in young and elderly subjects - PubMed

We observed the response of serum growth hormone (GH) and testosterone (T) to a progressive resistance strength training program. Basal levels (after a 12-h fast) of GH and T were measured in young (23 years) and elderly (63 years) subjects before and after a 12-week training program. The...
