Born Again

[62Young]

Greetings everyone. 62 and still feeling young , but I have work to do. Thank you, Easy for pointing the way here and your assistance in getting me on track.

Last spring and summer I made friends with the ice cream man while working on my house. Big mistake! One scoop becomes a double scoop. And then I'm doing physical labor, climbing up and down scaffolding, so it's all good. No, not good. Training became more intermittent and before I knew it, I was pushing fatty status.

I started TRT late summer and it was life changing. I started feeling different - stronger, better, feeling new and refreshed and started increasing my cardio and introducing weight lifting again. I have a decent home gym and get can a lot done. Still may join a gym.

Anyway, it's been going very well. Already dropped several pounds and decreased my body fat% a few points after a lot of cardio and consistent lifting in addition to adding low dose Tirzepatide these past three weeks.

Very soon I will add low dose Anavar to my TRT and start a sponsored training/progress log. (I responded very well to Anavar back in the day.)

Never Surrender!

62 and Anavar....that's a finisher for most.

Did you get blood work done?
What is a "low dose" of Anavar to you?
What is a "trt dose" for you?
What do you hope to achieve with that oral?

The reason I ask is b/c you seem to be doing the right stuff and seeing results.

I began TRT last summer with a clinic and have had labs done several times. My current provider has me on 100 mg. which is working well for me right now. Actually getting bloodwork done Wednesday so I can see how it's all looking before/if I decide to go ahead with low dose Anavar and by that I mean 20mg-25mg (perhaps tapering on and off with 10mg - 8 weeks.). I ran it a few times back in the '80s and iI responded very well to it. Well, that and a few other things.

At this point, I'm going for that lean muscular look and feel. My body fat% is high (20%ish). So that excludes the few other options I have at my age for now.

My workouts are split routine weights and intense cardio. (E.g., Peloton Bike and Insanity MIT) Along with low dose tirzepatide (1.25mg), my ice cream fat is melting away. Down to 193 from 204 in 3 weeks. But I do lose fat fast when I hit it hard.

But I want to build and maintain muscle of course.

So, let's call me skinny-fat. For now. That's changing.

I know I could increase the cyp and see how that goes for a while, but I have a feeling the Anavar, too, is going to be a good fit for me.

Thank you.

Please keep us posted. All this is interesting. We’re about the same age and I’m always up for new combinations of sauces.

Anavar is on my personal no fly list. Even lady var makes me feel awful. Everyone is sure enough different.

Good morning, Poppy. Will do. I hope to be starting a progress log very soon, sponsored, and we'll see how it goes.

At 100mg that is a very low dose for most even for trt.
You, more than likely, have a lot of room titrate.

We all would be interested in knowing your labs before and after once you get them completed.

I would not consider Anavar, personally, until my BF was sub 15%.
I also would consider a low dose to be 5mg (which was a 80’s dose, I am told…even for men).
Like @Poppy Anavar is on my no fly list b/c of lab work, BP concerns, and cramping.

 

[62Young]

Thank you, but I’ll be monitoring my bloodwork myself and deciding what is going to be a good fit for me and what dosages are going to be appropriate for me.

I like to think that we share, and we learn together.

Best of luck.
