not sure what the percentage is of men that take aas into their 40's, 50's and beyond, but just a thought is there a certain age where taking aas is kind of pointless and stupid and yes, even dangerous?
i'm talking either being a big user who cycles off and on down to the user who uses very light and mild cycles on and off.
at one point ( is there?) where aas usage at a certain age is not feasible in that it's either dangerous or doesn't work anymore and stuff.
not to mention if your of a certain age and you don't even compete anymore?
-
no the older you are the better it is to take it , your body starts the dying process between 25 and 30 , perfect time to start , stop when your six feet under

When you get into your 40s and 50s your test and gh production can be very low for a lot of guys...so taking steroids is a smart option..its called hormone replacement therapy...do a search on it

When it starts to effect your marriage, or you find yourself in legal trouble. The point where AAS starts to effect you in a negative way.

every age possesses the same potential for benefit as every other age
-
var and winnie would be Ok for strength and lean gains and wouldn't have you to shut down at a young age
-
again with the var only cycles , o brother ::)
whats wrong with running var only cycles? i ran them in high school while i was cutting weight for wrestling and had awesome results...made me very strong for my weight class and improved athletic performance...not everyone here takes steroids for bodybuilding
-
Var costs too much, I suppose. :)
-
you can get var for reasonable price...
-
I don't really know what is okay to say in response. If you know of good prices per mg, I'm jealous! ;)

good point bro, but if you keep the estrogen in check it shouldn't be too bad

while it is true that some users report swelling, does that mean that it is going to cause any long term effects?

After 40 you should be getting your PSA test done for your prostste any ways. Iam 44 never had any problems with an enlarged prostste. Like the saying goes get it checked or check out.

As some of the other guys have said, being in your 40's or 50's is a prime time to take it. Your test levels are naturally lower, your sex drive is lower, you lose muscle tissue at a more rapid rate than any time in your life...when I speak of muscle tissue here, I'm not talking about going from 250lbs ripped to 170lbs soaking wet...I'm talking about the basic muscle tissue we all need to live and function as healthy as we can. If nothing else, a solid regular dose of testosterone would greatly help all of this...that's one of the reasons it can be very easy for men in this age group to get an HRT script and in some cases, have it covered by their insurance.
As for taking AAS for bodybuilding purposes at this age, guys have been doing it for years...the benefits are still greatly there. As for the risk, keep an eye on your health. That's the best you can do whether you're taking AAS, HGH or not.

Agree i get BPH on the parts of my use where I up the dosage past 500-750mg EW But at that dose no real BPH symptoms. When i come off all together there are no BPH symptoms at all. It is a temporary enlargement that goes back down when things get biologically closer to normal.
guess ya cant prove it , but it cant be good for ya
well sure if you don't wanna experience any sides from AAS then you should not use them, only a fool would think there are no risks at all, most know this going in and make educated decisions to minimize problems, but still no guarantee nothing will happen. Thats as much reassurance as I can give.

IN EARLY TEENS...

Correct, but Dr. John Crisler says there is growing evidence that men with prostate cancer have typically lower than normal test levels.

Iv been using steroids since i was sixteen and have no health issues...i always cycled properly though..made sure i did my research before i gave it a go

Good, but most teens don't do it the proper way and i think you should be an adult when you start using. Also, in your teens your levels are high enough as it is.

It tought it had something to do with high estrogen level ?

there are drugs out for enlarged prostate to keep it in check, if you take whatever drug is on the market to help out with that, it should even the AAS effect out.
-
kind of off topic, but it's been said that no matter what age you want to start using aas, that everyone should have at least a few years of serious and consistent weight training before one even begins to start the most basic cycle?
is this too generic? i mean how can you compare a 20 year lifter to a 40 year lifter for instance who both are starting working out for a little bit and both want to use aas?
i would think the 40 year has less time to lose, so they could be more "aggressive" in their aas use? not meaning taking more but start earlier perhaps after only a year or two of serious working out?
of course you also have people who take "pro hormones" and test level increasing supps and you have people telling them they are wasting their time and money and might as well start using aas from the start?
-
Well, i did my first cycle at 20 after 7 years of consistent training... So i definitely agree that you should had trained at least a couple of years before starting use anything and of course know exactly what you are doing. As for the old guys i think it's OK to go on HRT dose (actual HRT dose) not 500 mg ew and for the "naturals" who use those "pro-hormones" aka designer steroids, you are not natural, you are just dumb.
-
This is only opinion.
If you start, or go back to, lifting later in life, a couple of years of natural training may be benifical to the connective tissue. Give them a chance to "work in" so to speak. If you jump right into AAS, you may be more prone to sprains and strains.
