    Thumbs up geriatric athlete

    Not geriatric yet but headed that direction. Never took any gear before. Never used any rubberband suits. Was able to set some powerlifting records in my 30's in the 165lb class, almost 1400lbs total from obsessively hard work-outs. It took a physical toll on me so I got into outrigger canoe racing in my 40's, now dragon boat racing on a very competitive team and still winning gold at age 67. Still do moderate weights, forty years now. Here is the challenge. My power is drifting a little. Endurance is great but to keep winning races and keep my place on this team of 25-35 year olds I must improve power a lot without gaining a whole lot of weight, maybe 9 or 10 lbs more of muscle. I'm 5ft 6in. 154 lbs today, very healthy. I was thinking about Thai anabol for a five week trial at 20mg leading up to the next race. The dragon boat races are sprints, 500meters. The paddling technique involves mostly the core abs, obliques, lats, tri, lower back and almost everything in some way. It is very fast, powerful and anaerobic. There are long distance races too but mainly sprints that last between 2 and 2 1/2 minutes. Any suggestions on gear?

    On a more serious note, go to the docs and have your test levels checked, you may be eligible for try/hrt.

    I think testosterone would be the best place you could start.

    At your age you should qualify for Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Go talk to the doc.

    If you're content with just running a cycle, then keep away from d-bol.. just do a simple test-cycle:

    Test-E or C (weeks 1 - 14) @ 300 - 350mg each week.

    ^^ now that's a low dosage... it's not generally what bodybuilders would use (IE ~500+mg) However, at your age, that sudden boost of testosterone will give you rock hard boners all day, a feeling of wellness, and quality gains..

    I would lean more toward 300mg's a week...... this is assuming you are in good health. This all should be discussed with a doctor tho.....

    Failure is not and option..... ONLY beyond failure is - Haz

    Think beyond yourselves and remember this forum is for educated members to help advise SAFE usage of AAS, not just tell you what you want to hear
    - Knockout_Power

    NOT DOING SOURCE CHECKS......
