    Another newbie

    I'm new here. Been lifting on and off all my life but recently been religious about it for the last year and a half and have no intents of stopping this time. I am 31 and I am starting to feel like I may need a little more help than the younger guys so I am here to do some homework.

    Looking forward to learning and growing.

    Welcome to the forums! Have you ever had your blood work done and seen where your hormone levels are at?

    No I haven't. Is this something I do myself or can I ask my usual doc to do that?

    If your insurance covers it, and you are curious about your levels (hormones, liver enzymes, thyroid, cholesterol, etc etc) then I'd ask the doc. My insurance covered it so that's how I went about it. Anyways, just something to think about. Head over to the nutrition and exercises sections on this board if you want to get everything set straight, there's lots of knowledgeable guys and gals here that can help you go even farther with your goals.

    Do you think this is advisable for everyone or just people who are 30+? I'm 24 years old and I wonder if this would benefit me at all?

    If you are curious about your numbers then there's nothing wrong with it. It's your body, and you have the right to know what's going on inside regardless of age. I just mentioned it in passing to the OP since he said he was a little bit older and felt like it was maybe harder to make gains, which could very well be diet/exercise related, but could also be hormone related as well.

    I have a yearly physical and they always check all my hormone levels. My insurance pays for it. My family doc is the one that does it.
