Old friend of mine met a chick on the online who was into figure competitions. He was in good shape as a younger guy but he let himself go, ate like chit and smoked way too much pot. Anyway him and this girl got together when he was about 43 or 45. She had maxed out in what she was able to achieve naturally so she started with the gear. Then he got on it. In two years time he looked completely different. I never got the entire cocktail he was on but he never got real big but he leaned out like you wouldn’t believe. Like 3% bf lean. This went on for a number of years until his kidneys started shutting down. He did some treatments and I believe quit for awhile but afterwards got back on it. He started having real issues and his liver went into failure. He was always bullchitting the doctors so one ordered a full lab panel and his test levels came in around 2000. As most know, normal levels are from 300 ish on the low end up to 800 or so on the high end. The jig was up and the doctor laid it out for him that if he didn’t quit he was gonna die.

He quit about a year ago and he now looks the same as he did before he started, has zero testosterone and feels like arse every day.

I try to tell people. You can’t maintain a body built on drugs via natural means. I have seen it a lot through the years. Steroids are popular among troops in combat.

I like cardarine though. The way i understand cardarine, it is a sarm of some sort. But it boost your endurance, it is pretty incredible. I used cardarine a couple of times with great results, and never noticed any decline. But I think it’s banned now, too.

I tried ostarine and GW also, and they sap your endurance away. Taking cardarine with them is not enough to save your endurance. Not worth it to me.

But sarms actually work. I don’t think anybody took them seriously until they got banned lol. Still you are probably gonna experience decline when you stop taking them.

I do think that test and HGH could be awesome with a doctors supervision. But it’s not something you can just give up once you start it, once you go down that road it is forever.

For those that it's not too late for, don't go down that road. I never wanted to and never did. I had some hunting partners 10 years younger than myself, all on T therapy, PED's, etc.........3 out of about 5 of them have all been to the ER with cardiac issues.
Be yourself, be healthy, work hard, be happy with what God gave you and you made better on your own.

Same with OTC Glucosamine with Chondroitin and maybe MSM, soled my knee pain. Been taking daily for years and afraid if I stop the pain will return. Recommended by orthopedic Dr.
Nothing like a good shot of Orange in the mornings.

That is good to know

The juicing is going well. We make it about 4 times a week. Prep and clean up is stupid easy. Have definitely seen an increase in energy and it’s apparently helped increase metabolism because I’m always hungry now.
