46 year old male. I've been working out since my teens. I tried a couple cycles during my twenties with minimal results. Pretty sure the stuff I got was fake except for some Anadrol which swelled me up like a tick! I always wanted to try different things but the area I'm from it was pretty much impossible to get anything. I've recently got on trt but my doc will only prescribe one shot a month, which got me researching and finding my way here around 6 months ago. I've since ordered my own and I take 125 mg once a week and I'm loving it so far. It seems like aas and pretty much everything for that matter is so easy to get now, it makes me curious to try some things I always wanted to. My main concern though is my age and a little high blood pressure that I take medicine for. I would love to hear about others personal experiences with anabolics over the age of 40. Whether it's, hell yeah let's do it or, stay the hell away it's not worth it and everything in between. What's everyone's opinion? What do you take. What do you worry about? Anything would be appreciated!

I’m 44 and my advice is to keep your BP in check. Check it at least 3 times a week. Stick to Test, hgh, primo, Anavar and maybe deca/npp for joints and low to mid doses when on blast. These seem to have the best safety history. If safety is 100% your goal while also taking risk then Test and hgh would be all cuz these are natural to your body. Take your basic supps like fish oil 4G, tudca, Nac etc. Lastly, I would recommend bloods and echo before starting for baseline and then Echo every yr or 2 after to monitor LVH. Bloods before blast and mid and before you restart again.
I’m not the most knowledgeable…but I believe this is pretty sound. I’m sure someone will come behind and correct if I’m off base.

Lately (I'm 41) my concern has been injuries. I've had to change my training style to higher rep, super squeezing type work. I used to really enjoy going heavy and testing myself, but my body just can't do that anymore.
Health markers are monitored through my trt gp. Nothing ever really comes back out of line, but I'm not (and never have been) a big dosage guy.

Over 50. Blood work is critical (every 6mths). I Monitor BP daily, blast 2x a year then trt doses, stay away from orals. Really only use no more then 2 compounds at a time. Right now test p and mast p. Don't do crazy high dosing protocols like some of these younger guys. I don't go over 200mg ew while on trt dose.
I use ppl training techniques with a 24hr break in between days. I don't lift heavy anymore. I can care less as long as I stay high intensity.

Been lifting on and off my whole life. At 40 I got into powerlifting and did a few cycles. By 43 got on trt and have been blasting and cruising every since. I'm 53 now. Last couple of years no more tren or heavy di methyl orals. Currently on 400 test e and 300 primo e 5 iu gh. I keep my dosing lower and use mostly hgh, mast e, primo, test and a little npp every now and then.

45 soon, my days of high doses are over. I’m on 125 mg test plus hcg. I plan on doing one or two blasts per year. Can only get test, deca, stanozolol and oxandrolone. I like the idea of nandrolone addition but it increases my bp and my HCT to the point I have to get phlebotomy.
My 2 thoughts, for me, just increase test to 4-500 for 10 weeks twice a year, or add an 8 week stanozolol or oxandrolone twice a year. I know orals are bad, but I think short term alter of lipids is better than high bp and HCT for months on end (as in the case of nandrolone for me)…

I've not read up much on NPP. Is that Deca? I like the sound of joint relief! Thanks for your response
Sounds like solid advice to me. I like that you mention primo and anavar, I've been leaning toward both. I hadn't really thought about hgh but will definitely look into it more. BP is a factor with me for sure and it's been a couple years since I had an echo. Good suggestion there. Thank you for responding!
I've been fortunate and not had any major injuries, but I've also started training really high reps. I also miss the days of going really hard. It's not easy to let go of!
I'm thinking I'll definitely limit compounds taken together. I have no reason to take them other than wanting to try some and wanting to look and feel better. So no reason to go overboard. Not sure if I've ever heard of ppl training. I'll have to look at it. Thank you for responding.

The more I think about my situation, I think to minimize risk, keep my trt to 125, and twice a year do a 8 week prop blast , maybe 500 a week for 8 weeks, twice a year
I would have tried tren when I was young but I'm too chicken now! I work with a guy that's in his early 60s and he still cycles it with test and dbol! He looks amazing when he does it but I'm scared for him! Doesn't worry him at all.
I need to look into hcg. Don't know much about it. My HTC and red blood cell count has went up just on test so that might be an issue for me on a blast. Stanozolol was one that I tried in my youth. Winstrol Depot I think it was called. It seemed to work really well for me, cut me up.

PPL = Push (chest, shoulders, triceps), pull (back, biceps), and leg day.
After years and years of training you find what works best for you. Ppl works best for me.

What do you mean? What’s your split?

I do push exercises then 48hrs off, then pull with 48hrs off, finally legs with 48hrs off...repeat.

So chest day 1, back day 2, legs day 3, then keep repeating?
