Get Shredded!
Turned 50 and want to do gear. Married, good but stressful job, pretty good natural build. Wtf is wrong with me?

I feel like I have good genetics and overall in decent shape until the last few years eating and drinking too much. I did a few marathons and worked out a few times a week with weights. I'm about 6'2" and was up to 260 lbs. Lifestyle changes (mainly quitting alcohol), weights and cardio, fasting, and then adding Mounjaro for 2 months allowed me to get down to 220.

I was a guy you would think in decent shape but never ripped. Why the hell do I want to do it now?

Got baseline bloodwork and going to do test 400 weekly for 12 weeks to bulk and then cut back down. Still not sure why I want to do this. Maybe some older guys want to give me some insight.

Welcome to ASF 💪 it’s never too late bro!
Starting testosterone is what you need as you get older as your hormones drop.
Lots of info here.

Welcome to ASF

I would get baseline bloodwork before going on gear to see where your natural test is at as well as other health markers

Welcome!
Everybody has to choose their own path, but I would really hammer down why you want to do this before fucking with exogenous hormones. At 50 years old, shutting down your natural production of test might not be the best idea if you aren’t open to the idea of a lifetime of trt. What are your free and total test numbers currently?

Thanks for the warm welcome. Testosterone low normal at 340. Figure I would go on a mini blast to see what happens. May do some orals towards the end even though it's my first time. I work in the medical field and I have learned more about TRT and hormones through this site than anything I've seen in practice. Fyi Doctors who do this stuff don't know shit. If your test level is 281 and normal is 280 to 800, most will say sorry but your normal and don't need testosterone.
