Steroid and / or TRT for Muscle Mass at 60 Years Old?

**X-BODY** · 05-06-2016, 07:29 AM

Hi
My friend's father who doing training for over 20 years, wants more muscle and he want to start steroid cycle or TRT. My question is: Is TRT enough for that purpose or is he need a steroid cycle too?
NOTE:
Sorry for my bad English

Thanks

At 57, TRT alone did wonders for me. After only 7 months the gains in muscle have been noticeable and my workouts are something I haven't experienced in decades.

Thanks your your answer

How was your TRT? test dose, frequency, hcg dose, etc??

75 mg. injected sub-cutaneous 2x/wk. After 7 months I have yet to initiate any hcg and have not noticed any negative effects except minimal testicular atrophy.

.75mg? I don't think so...

should do bw first to see what test baseline is. if he's low, then trt will help a lot. even if after starting trt, give it a year to see where it goes then just maybe consider a cycle. there's a great post on first cycle.

i'm 53 and cycle on a trt baseline and it's relatively straightforward. but, risks likely increase with age, so he should do a lot of research (liver, heart, stroke, E2 management, the works) before deciding (another reason to give trt some time.

I really like the way you put that bartman314 ! I am 56 and been on TRT since I was 52 and the only 2 other compounds I do are 30mg of Deca a week and I BLAST with Tren A ! Just as you stated my biggest issue seems to be keeping my E 2 balanced ! lol , I don't need BW to tell when it gets High my sexual performance is the 1st indicator and I know to increase my Ai from .25 Adimidex 2 x's a week to 3 x's a week and everything straightens right back out

! I get BW done for free every 4 mths. and get detailed BW of what I have concerns of when ever I choose ! I give blood about once every 4 mths and all is well in paradise . This is for me and this is a lesson about my experience and learned over time and trial and error ! Luv'in life at 56 and still a work in progress !
