I'm in my 12th week of a 12 week Test only cycle at 300mg ew. I'm 49 and all is well. I'm going to come off and do a proper PCT to see how that goes. I'll get bloods done in 8 weeks and determine if i should do TRT. At 55 and already been on the gel, consider going TRT. Test makes everything better.
I do cardio ed followed by a yoga/stretching routine. It really controls bp and stress.
Welcome. Good info below as well. You need to post this up in the 40+ area or another forum. That way more people can weigh in and give some advice.
Thanks for the advice ,use to do the androl gel ,but insurance cut me off. New to this ,and any information would be appreciated. Just want to feel good on the way and back from the gym.
56tooWelcome brother.Im in my late fifties.I wasn't taking any meds before I started cycling and I was doing a lot of cardio. I slowed down on my cardio and my BP rose a lil to the point that my Dr. advised I take a small dose of BP medication. I should tell you that I am predisposed to HBP. I was taking BP meds since I was 18. In my fifties I changed my lifestyle and was able to get off all that including medss for Cholesterol Triglycerides and diabetes.IMO the most important advice I can give you is to monitor your bloods at least before and after a cycle. If you follow these rules the use of these compounds is one of the best things you'll ever do in life especially at our age. Most gear will lower hdl and increase ldl but with supplementation and using gear responsibly you will feel fantastic with little to no health risk. Matter of fact if you act responsibly this is the best thing you could do for your health at our age. BTW I never did a PCT but went straight to TRT. Good luck and feel free to send me a FR if you would like to ask anything else.
Keeping cardio is a help. Apple cider vinegar and red beet root juice I find to be quite helpful. Did my first cycle at 53 so we are in the same boat. Also compounds such as eq can elevate blood pressure more than others. Many other grey beards here, hope they chime in with there advise. Welcome brother+1
