lol if gear wasn't available id probably be killing my liver with PHs

I'm 53 and also just started using aas after 30yrs of lifting natty. I've been competing in bench meets for the last 6yrs and was looking for a way to even the playing field as I compete in mostly non sanctioned and non tested meets against some real monsters lol. After a ton of research and a few ph runs I finally got my hands on the real deal. I think the most important thing I learned was that steroids weren't the boogie man people make them out to be if done correctly and sanely. I felt better, slept better, had better sex and more of it lol. And my last test cycle helped me achieve a five year quest, a double bw raw bench (365 at 182) in August. Steroids for us older souls can be a life changing undertaking. I'm glad that I found forums like this one to learn the ropes. Now I just hope I don't break a hip getting off this soapbox lol.

I've been training natural for over 30 years, and have been built better than 90% of the guys I personally know on gear. I started reasearching anabolic steroids in college back in the 80's and only chose to start using gear about 5 months ago. The results have been good, and like you, I'm a lifer now, and at almost 50 years of age, it's cool to know that I can look forward to gains for several more years now thanks to steroids.
"Bigger Faster Stronger" was the deciding motivator for me to do this. I'm very happy I did.

I started getting back in shape about 2 years ago and stayed natty (had cycled years before)until earlier this year. Was off during the summer and hated it.

Aside from the working out benefits, I definitely miss the general good feeling of the added test when I am off. Oh yeah, and the sex part too.
