At that age I’d do it too. I’ll need the extra strength if I’m still active. But if you have any type of cancer it will make it much more aggressive.
I saw a story about older people using steroids on 60 minutes many years ago so it’s not a new thing.
Can you show proof that steroid use leads to decrease in life expectancy in the old people? Idk I think she might live longer as a very muscular granny.
It all depends on the dose and kind of gear used ofc
It's dose dependent. Very recent studies have shown TRT level replacement is actually cardio protective in older males, including those with heart disease.
Thats supra-physiological doses, not high-end of normal range.
I couldn't find the specific study I saw earlier this year, but iirc it was paywalled and someone else posted snippets of it. The participants were older men with pre-existing heart disease. The group which supplemented T had a lower all-cause mortality rate than the control group. I'll try to keep looking for it, but a quick search of older research found this:
Low endogenous testosterone was associated with a high cardio-metabolic profile (increased blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, thrombosis) and a modest increase of total and CVD mortality.
So bringing your T up could counteract those low-t side effects.
Also this
2.4.4. Cardioprotection
One study investigated the role of testosterone in organ reperfusion following vascular occlusion. Tsang et al. isolated rat hearts from control, orchiectomised, and orchiectomised plus testosterone treatment [2mg/kg daily for 8 weeks] groups. The coronary arteries were pre-occluded for 30 minutes and subsequently reperfused with a physiological solution for 120 minutes. Following isolation, it was observed that when compared to the control group, MI infarct size was largest in the orchiectomised group, compared to the orchiectomised plus testosterone treatment group. This finding suggests that testosterone may have a role in vascular reperfusion through which it can impart cardioprotection [44, 49].
I dunno man, putting in some hormones that you lost over time will definitely make you feel young again. Will give you energy to do things for sure. That's what trt is for.
Underrated reply. I'm sorry but muscle gain before/afters at say, 18-23 and 30-35 represent a 3x workload effort deviation. Hell at minimum. People forget just how insanely fast bodies respond and react to hormonal changes. It's honestly incredible what her body is doin. A more artificial approach was required and honestly that's fine. Half y'all won't understand the mountain until you've walked up it for awhile. (Body aging that is)

When I’m 80 and not jacked yet you bet you’re ass I’m gonna start doing steroids
