Do you plan to blast in old age (40+)?

[Primoisthebest]

I wouldn’t disagree as I know many aas users just ignore signs of ill health until they have big problems. Is it possible to use aas without risk to organ failure prematurely? I think if you are monitoring health and using in a way that you stay”healthy” as defined by our systems bloodwork standards, you should be able to avoid any substantial extra risks. That is not an easy task as it requires a lot of testing, ancillary use and adjustments to aas protocols that might be inconvenient and spending more money. It’s not all about being a drug user, so the positive lifestyle effects from clean eating, cardio and strength training into old age should not be dismissed in the analysis. Time will tell. I’m optimistic on my own chances.

I’d say 100% it’s possible by taking appropriate support drugs/supplements. I do with the exception of struggling to get hdl normal ( I’m close). I’ve got shit cholesterol genetics so it’s a given will be a challenge.

43 here.
Just finished my 1st year on trt (neibido by nhs) and been "blasting " over 6months in a row with 100mg test p and 150mg tren a eod during 4months than reduced to 50mg test p and 50mg tren eod for 3 month.
Actually " crusing" all blood works came back clean so will blasting again anytime soon.
I like low dose of tren for crusing for wellbeing. I still try to put some mass while I am still able to manage physical efforts. I will probably stop blasting when my body can't handle anymore.

Next blast test and deca until may I think then tren until november

Is it possible to keep your bloodwork within the ranges known to be good?

Running steroids pretty much throws lipids all out of whack, and very slowly over time one is depositing plaque on the arteries.

And now everybody stays elevated for years on end, thinking there is no downside to running 200mg or more a week
or
gasp
250 test
200deca
anavar
and calling it TRT + or athlete TRT.

But, hey, if I am 30, I have low blood pressure, I do not think I am doing anything wrong, and I just never come off.

And I never run blood tests, or, if I do, I ignore that the LDL is high and the HDL is low. Because I know it will go back to how it was when I finally stop, some day. It's not doing harm on a daily basis right now, is it?

My cholesterol has been excellent on up to 500mg. The only time it is worse than pre-TRT/AAS is when I run Anavar and that drops everything including HDL. With injectables my total and LDL is lower than normal and my HDL is the same.

I agree with the sentiment, though, and I'd imagine some damage is happening irrespective of blood. It would be nice to know exactly how much.

IMO, sure, ongoing "abuse" will likely result in premature organ failure and/or shortened lifespan. What is "abuse?"

If I'm not delving in "abuse," but applying—for lack of a better term—"calculated logic" to my "approach", from blast to TRT, will that mitigate or eliminate detrimental or longterm effects?

With the amount of educating, monitoring, blood testing, and so on, I've embarked since starting with AAS, my attention to my health has developed exponentially. Supplements, medicines, activities, etc... all have evolved and progressed. Not a day goes by my health isn't "top-of-mind." I think many of us "approach" it this way.

If the "approach" is based on "calculated logic..." well-instituted, cautious, vigilant, and ultimately successful, couldn't one "maximize" their years in contrast?
