[elgaringo]

I will only second everyone elses compliments. aas really does make you feel young again!!!

Oh and look of course

 

[solo47]

Do you have any before pics? Otherwise, you look great man! I really hope I look that good when I am 59.

Thanks for the kind words, Bruvvah. Here's a "before" pic. Why I must have weighed all of – what? – 30-40 lbs here. I've come a long way, eh?

Trap size?

[MrBman]

very nice pictures bro ... you're looking lean and hard, if i could look even remotely close to that at 59 id be a very happy man. The sad truth is, you probably look better than most people in their 20s.

It takes a lot of hard work to acquire that physique, and maintaing it becomes ever more difficult as we age ... very inspirational.

You are awesome!! Ur abs are awesome and the second pic is classic! Not need to shave real women like to snuggle up onto some plushy fur

Well, I guess that settles that little issue. When sporty speaks, it goes right to my head (maybe both of them).

Really, though, my fur's all in the right place. It's not running rampant like a neanderthal. I'm not a pin-up and I don't compete. I'm just a happy silverback man-ape who tries to maintain a good build. So, in this case, why not let nature take its course?

(Of course, if Sporty had praised the naked-Samson look, I'd be shaving right now.)

Time to close this vanity thread down. I really had expected more abuse, but you guys I mean you persons have been very generous in your praise. I humbly thank you.

But, on the other hand, now I don't want to quit this cycle when I'm just learning how to eat properly & really beginning to grow. ("I don't want to quit this cycle": Anyone ever hear that before?) I started off in mid January a loose 202 lbs and six feet tall. I'm still six feet tall but now weigh 218 lbs. The big change is in the hardening & building in the arms & shoulders, which was my goal. I'm very slim-hipped with narrow butt & legs, so my weight may not be what you might expect. But I'm happy with it. The real goal is to look good, feel good, and live life as though you know there's always more to come.

Solo out

May I ask your cycle experience? You look better than most men in their 20s.

Not that much cycle experience, really. I really don't think gear deserves all the credit. How many guys do you know that cycle but don't get notable results? Genetics is first: You can't build a castle on a swamp. But also I workout hard.

After being a high school athlete I sort of fell into a bookish trance at university within a halo of marijuana smoke for my twenties & into my thirties. Woke up and realized how badly I had let my body (& my life) go. Began lifting again (since high school) in my mid-thirties, but stopped to get a doctorate for the first half of my forties, then began iron work again, this time with the discovery of creatine & the oral prohormone http://www.netrition.com/androdiol.html. The Diol, I found, helped me grow more than the creatine but only in short bursts that quickly wore off. Had to eat a lot of the little fuckers, too.

Suddenly prohormones were illegal & I was out of luck. Searching for them, however, I came across Net ads for real roids &, after a bit of open-minded research, decided to try my luck with E. European products when I was the ripe old age of 53. Fucked up my first cycle from lack of knowledge (ran out of gear; didn't have PCT ready), but I've learned plenty since, mainly right here on Meso-Rx (both what to do & what not to do). Up until recently, I've been doing two 12-weekers a year.

Seems to me this one thing is true: By the time you're in your fifties, or mid forties for that matter, you have already gone as far as you're going to go naturally. Plus the flow of your own natural testosterone & growth hormone is steadily diminishing. At that stage of the game, if one is still hale, hearty, determined, & working out, why not use gear to supplement what nature no longer provides?

Eh? (A Canadianism meaning, in this case, right?)

Are you able to get prescriptions for the good stuff now that you're in your late fifties and natural hormone levels are diminishing?

When I got to my mid forties, I always planned on trying to sweet talk my doc into prescribing a few choice products. Or is it not that simple?

It always depends your doc & your relationship with him or her. These days, most are very cautious, it seems to me. In December, for the first time, I got my doc to prescribe me Test gel. Yippee shit. But, to be frank & earnest here, that's the reason I decided to do a short Test prop cycle (with Masteron for the fun of it). I put the gel on the shelf and did my cycle and now I can go get the bloodwork he wanted done (to see how the gel is working). If my timing is right, he'll find my T-levels way low and my boys shrivelled. I hope he'll then prescribe Test cyp at about 100 mg/wk & also a sweet amount of HCG. Just having the scrips will be comforting, no matter how much I periodically add to the mix.

So I guess I'm saying that sometimes you've got to learn to work the system to get what you need.

Hey happy b - day . Looking good , adding some size and cut . Makes a soon to be 43 years old feel inspired .

 

[jasthace]

I like the last pic you added Solo......Awesome

 

[flash4212]

hey Solo when you added the winny did you put it in the same shot as the test prop???

and did the prop hurt as bad as mine is hurting right now??...lol... i get a knot in my a$$ a couple of days after my shot and hurts like hell for a few days....

 

[MrBman]

Flash ... did you mix your prop with winstrol?

if you mix oil and water based steroids together ... which i personally wouldnt do ... be careful as you inject ... water based steroids will have a tendency to "shoot" out of the syringe, the plunger should be pushed gently, and the mixture should be injected slowly and with care - its not the same as injecting oils ... it can cause unnecessary pain ...

water based steroids have a different rate of absorbtion than oil based steroids ... mixing the two isnt something i personally fancy very much

if you do it, inject slowly

...
If not, what was the dosing of your prop? ... anything over a 100mgs/ml will most likely cause pain ... even 100mgs/ml will cause discomfort ... but you'll get used to it

 

[flash4212]

no mr B havn't started the winny yet , been shooting the prop twice a week at 100mgs per.

on week three now , gonna do my fifth shot tomorrow...... it's just a short 10ml cycle of each

the prop has been hell on me so far , hurts like hell a couple of days after each shot , and thanks for the advice on the mixing , i prob won't do it
