![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My father has been bodybuilding for some 20 odd years and truely loves the sport...He recently turned 52...he's having a harder time gaining muscle and keeping the fat off now...last night he asked me about gear...he really doesn't have the cash to go to one of those hormone replacement clinics...is there any chance I'd mess him up further by giving him a light anabolic say primo, or deca? Any suggestions or comments guys?-x IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A light anabolic? He needs to break out the big guns. At 52, his natural production of testosterone and HGH is nil. That's why older men start to look like old men. Not this old man!! Put him on a gram of test a week with the primo and watch a total body transformation take place, assuming he is healthy enough to take it - no prostate disease etc. I speak from experience here.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Watch out code_x, he might get real big if its his first cycle, and he knows how to lift. I am still one of the biggest guys in the gym. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Keep in mind that test replacements are often prescribed in older men...it is we younger ones who have to use "alternative means". His test production is low at 52. But I would hold off on absolutely blasting him with test - just as a precaution. a 52 year old body may not be able to handle the things a 25 year old body can. Start him on some test cyp, maybe 400mg a week. This will still bring his test levels far above normal even for a 20 year old. I would let him decide from there based on how he feels if he wants to go up. Also, he should still talk to a doc about hormone replacement. A doc will discuss it in detail with him, to help him know exactly what to expect. Matt IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Primo will never hurt him (if his prostate is ok). Primo and Deca are given to men and women when they are old or VERY old. But they do not get 400 mgr a week. You also have to watch his blood pressure. You should buy a BP meter. I don't know for test. I never used it. If he is not drinking alcohol, you can trow in some Winny. It can be done you know, he can be in the shape of his live. Jeff ------------------ IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Matt gave you some good advice, why not get his test levels tested, i'm sure the doc will do this no problem. Start out light, but you're never too old to be on the juice, when you're older in my eyes there are more reasons to be on. When i pass the big 50 i'm sure as hell gonna be on test all the time. Maybe even before that. Just be careful of his liver etc. IP: Logged |
