Hello all,

I am 52...6'0, 225 lbs and I have been working out for about 30 years. I have always maintained good size. My workouts over the years have not been very consistent. For the last year or so I have been hitting the gym hard and making good gains. However, I do realize that I am not a youngster anymore. I need to workout smarter for my age and get the gains I am striving for.

I just recently started a cycle of tes cyp stacked with masteron. I started in Sept. and its been about 7 weeks now and I am making some good gains.

Prior to this cycle I did a couple cycles back in the eighties.

Honestly, I don't have a lot of experience in the gear. I am looking for strength and size. I really wanted to try gh and tes, but I couldn't find the right connect and I would like to get some advise from someone knowledgeable. I am happy that I found this site and hope to connect with people that can help me in my journey.

I currently workout 5-6 days a week. Is this too much for my age now?
Any advice from my experienced brothers will be helpful.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Working out 5 to 6 days a week can be to much for anybody not just older people.

I would suggest 4 days per week - monday and tuesday - thursday friday with the remaining days as rest days.

Test is great for anyone - 500mg per week for 10 to 12 weeks is a good place to start.

GH is excellent for building size when used in conjunction with other gear, the fat burning properties are pretty good too.
GH is also extremely good for the older person whether they train or not because of what it does help the body.

As for finding a good source for GH, where are you located?

Hello, and welcome.

52 years young here. Been training about 30 years myself. Always cycled gear.

You'll find some good information here, helpful knowledgeable people, and no egos...

Take a look at GBNstore, first rate.

I train 5 days a week, but on a three on one off - two on one off split. That way I never train for more than three days in a row. Workouts are heavy (geared towards adding size and strength), but last no longer than 45 minutes depending upon what I'm training. Just have to experiment and see what works for your body type. One thing for sure is that I don't recuperate as quickly as I used to. So, I try to train smarter. 6 days a week is too much in my opinion.

what is your training and diet like? those are going to be the biggest factors.
whats your PCT look like?

welcome to the board

Welcome to forum bro.

I think 4-5 days per week is ok, the important factor here is intensity with which you train and rest time. I know you asked this from health point of view so that is why I mention rest time and intensity.

For example you can have 3 days per week hard training and 5 days per week light workouts. You need to find out which one makes you feel better.

While on gear you will recover quicker that is right so you can make some adjustments while you are on cycle.

Regarding sources, please dont ask this here. We have sponsors and you can talk there, read customers feedback and reviews. This sub-forum is for other questions.

P.S. If someone offers you to buy any PED's via PM inform me

Cool. thanks bro

Thanks for the info. It is much appreciated

I am not up on the acronyms... what does PCT stand for??
By the way, thanks for post.

Good to be here...thanks!

Thanks for the info. I am located in Redlands, California...San Bernardino County

Thanks Bro. Its always good to hear from trainers in my age group. You have lots of good experience and relevant info...thanks again

thats not good...post cycle therapy. You better have one

Post Cycle Therapy (PCT).

Yolked already mentioned that though.

Just to start educating yourself about PCT, here's a good article on the subject by Bill Roberts - Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)

Personally, I use the model Bill explains in the article. Bear in mind that there a variety of ways that people implement PCT, so when it comes to this you first need to educate yourself on PCT, listen to what others have to say (weeding out the misinformed information some will provide), and you will ultimately jump in try one method, and be honest with yourself as to how it's worked. Everyone's physiology is different, so what may work for one person does not mean it will necessarily work for you - it may(?), but it might not as well.

That's why, IMHO, you need to start by educating yourself first. When you are finally ready to take the plunge and start a cycle, you will want to have all of your PTC supplies already on hand.

Another thing to read about will be "Aromatase" inhibitors, and Estrogen blockers. Depending upon what you are running (and how much) you may want to have an aromatase inhibitor and/or estrogen blocker on hand at the start of your cycle.

Hope this may help?

Erich, thank you so much for the information! I read the article by Bill Roberts and I have to tell you ...I had no idea. Great information. Thanks again

You're welcome, anytime. People are here to help, and you should feel free to ask about anything you're unsure of.

I wouldn't be pretentious, and claim to be any sort of an expert. I do have about 30 years of experience with training and gear. With that sort of thing, it's nothing to fool around with without educating yourself first. If gear is what you chose to use, then in my opinion, you would want to tailor your use to match your goals. For example, if you're after general fitness and adding some muscle while losing fat, then you certainly don't want to launch into some gonzo excess cycle - which by the way you don't look like your doing.

Good luck with your training goals.
