As promised, here is one last installment in the series.
I will start off with…we are all captains of our own ship. We make our own adult decisions and have to live with the results one way or another. I will make another statement that I stand by…the older I get the more important it is that I “feel good”. Sure I would love to pack on 20 pounds of muscle but we all know what something like that would require… then I would have to walk around toting that much more body mass. No thanks.
It’s all about perspective. Things look way different at 60 then they did at 25 years old…even when I was 40 something. I’ve told many a young person that scoffed at my rambling’s; check back with me in 20 years and we’ll have this exact same conversation…we will then see how you view things. Wanting to ingest massive amounts of aas’s does subside or at least it should…if it doesn’t then you’re going to have to live with the trade off of not feeling good or possibly some irreversible damage to your body that will move your golden years down to 40’s and 50’s. This could also parlay into you being a large monetary supporter of the local medical establishment…read: many many doctors visits and daily drugs just to maintain a mediocre lifestyle. Now, there is a lot of older folks that have their aas consumption dialed in and are at a good place with it. They still feel good and are able to supplement while minimizing all the nasties.
A thought out plan for diet and training will serve you well. Keep in mind that this should be a living fluid plan. The types and/or quantities of food you ingest should change as you age. As our metabolism slows down so should our eating habits. It’s my experience that testosterone supplementation does not speed up my metabolism at a rate that will allow me to eat as I please. Let’s face the truth…an advanced age lifter just can’t lift as heavy (relatively) as often and/or with as much volume. Tendons, ligaments, joints all need to guarded against damage and (anymore) wear and tear.
Don’t misunderstand my intent of this whole series…I would be willing to bet dollars to donuts that the average advanced age lifter is way stronger than than most any average age joe, crackhead…and I’ll throw in most gym rats too…don’t ever underestimate old man strength…that’ll get you embarrassed quick and in a hurry.
In closing…I would suggest adjusting (as most already have) your diet, training and aas usage to an age appropriate level so that you feel great and can still get off the porch occasionally and show the youngins who’s the silverback alpha male.
Young bull: look at all those sows down there! Let’s run down there and screw one of them.
Old bull: nah…let’s walk down there and screw all of them.
