    Every guy on earth should lift to he dies. There are plenty of benefit outside looking good. Heart strengthening and bone density f. i.
    Studies show lifting is better for heart than cardio.
    (both is best)

    Quite a few hardcore body builders do indeed lift until they die.
    On the other hand I am hoping to enjoy my twilight years strolling along a beach and fishing each day. But I am still hoping I will have enough natural testosterone to feel like giving the old girl a run once in a while.

    your 50 , and if this is your ultimate goal , then why are you wasting your time thinking about doing cycles and going to the gym now only for a few years. don't waste your time then.. spend your time investing money, saving for a fishing boat and vacation money.
    doesn't make sense to take the risk for something your not committed to in the long haul .


    my natty test is shot. I'm fine with TRT for life.. I take the risks cause I want to be jacked for the long haul. I want to be twice as strong and look like a shredded jacked beast at 50 years old and further. but I also make a living in the fitness industry.
    for a guy that just wants to hang out on the beach and fish, the effort doesn't really seem worth it.

    the risk of permanent shut down is real

    Why waste my time?? Because I want to, that is all. I don't want to compete in body building, I already spend most of my time either working on my other non lifting related sport, or going fishing in my 2 week old boat, or going on holidays as I have been lately. I only work a few days a week so I can now do what I want. For the last 2 years I have been back into lifting and am enjoying looking and feeling better than 99% of men at my age. Will I be into lifting in 10 years??? No idea, I have come and gone from lifting a few times over the last 30 years. I intend to travel a lot more in the next few years, but in the mean time it is my time to do what I want, not what my boss or kids want.
    As for TRT, if I end up needing it, I will go with it. My housemate (who is on this forum) has been going through the rigmarole for the last few months to get onto TRT so I know what is involved.
    At the moment my test levels are closer to what most 40 year olds have so if I can keep it, I would like to. If it does go, well so be it.
    But it would be silly of me to not make an attempt to look into risks and precautions to see if there is anything I can do.

    You’re a grown ass man and we have one life to live...sounds like you’re doing an awesome job living it! Run a cycle...500 test (250 x 2) is a cookie cutter cycle and certainly yields results, I can testify to it. Make sure and have your ancillaries on hand and plan a proper PCT. I’d recommend having all of your gear on hand before you start. Bada bing bada bang. You can keep a lot of your gains, falling back to earth after feeling like Superman can be humbling. Lift and eat during your PCT and don’t give way to the emotion of not feeling as strong as you did. You could easily add an oral compound as well for 6 weeks as well if you’d like. The possibilities are almost endless. You know the risks and you know the rewards. Sounds like you have a buddy at home you can talk too and you have this community too. Hopefully you have a good source that you can trust and access to everything you need. New boat, nice tan, couple of holiday trips planned and some new muscles...what’s not to love?! Work your ass off and eat smart.
