Critique review condition and size at 43

[Dave D]

Again I simple said I would do fine in an amateur Masters show which is true. If I went to a local state event I wouldn't be booed of stage. I never said I was getting my pro card and going for the Sandow not that I could if I wanted. I am 43 years old I have no desire to take illegal illicit compounds and risk my health or the law. I do have a Dr and have prescribed bioidentical medications for various needs and deficiencies.  I even use a branch chain amino acid formula. That is not the same thing.

We agree.

As a natural you have a good physique but it’s not as good as a steroid users.

If you ever decided to use illegal bodybuilding drugs it would improve your build significantly but there is nothing wrong with being a drug free trainee.

[Dave D]

How it feels trying to motivate and train you lazy bastards

I’m assuming you’re Mean Gene in this video because he was steroid free. Hulk Hogan was not.

Has anyone ever told you that you are a weirdo?

Hahaha, literally everyone has.

I'm not positive of the exact date, but I think in was somewhere around 2008. I went off it for the year following a prostatectomy. Once it was determined my undetectable PSA was stable and not going up, I was able to ease back on, starting out at 75 mg a week, gradually working back up to 150 mg. The only concern the doctor expressed was when I hematocrit was getting close to 50%. Last year it was back down. 39.8-52% is considered normal. Got to remember to drink plenty of water and grapefruit juice before doing my labs.

I read your comments as being more generalized and not specific to competitions. While I have no interest in entering a bodybuilding competition at my age, if I did, keeping testosterone in normal range wouldn't be a problem. The highest my total testosterone has ever been was around 1300 ng/dl. Last year it was 670 ng/dl. The doctor's medical assistant told me I should do labs first thing in the morning because that is when testosterone is the highest. This makes no sense to me. Seems like it would be most accurate to do them midday.

You mentioned high hematocrit does the doctor ever perform phlebotomies 500ml blood at a time to help reduce the % or does drinking lots of water and grapefruit work well enough without the need for phlebotomy?

The real question is what does this constant ache in my shoulder mean? I mean I know I had a cyst in it and a fucked up subscapula and a surgery on the labrum and a tear in the bicep attachment area and pec but Did I sleep on it funny or is something all fucked up and getting worse? That is the real story of weight lifting after 40. To push or to rest that is the question. May need to hold more water to ease the pain. Had a half ass leg session tonight as weight was down but everyone said I was too bloated at 230. Too thin at 220. Nothing is right everything is off need to grow to balance. I need to get to 240 then figure it out. It is time to start eating again start pumping the fluids at least get the bodyweight backup to protect the shoulder and the pec. Have taken too many days off just feel smaller and weaker and more pain vs training and eating need to add more water not drop it. I dont need to be shredded on the beach I need to be strong to train and grow and heal

Hmm... sound like it might be repetitive strain injury from constantly jacking off in this thread..?

Bhank, no offense but have you considered getting help for your mental illness?

[Taffin]

Sounds like mental illness.

Don't try to fool anyone. You are two missed injections away from being Kaitlyn Jenner.

Eww!

He suggested I donate blood, which I did a couple of times. Since I am within range and since a couple of labs indicted I had borderline anemia, I have not been too concerned about it.

Why are you being so snide today? Are you okay? Is something wrong? Are you upset because nobody is paying attention to you? Just don't fake your own death again....that only works one time.

Again though feeling kind of solid at 220 today. Truth be told the secret is probably the little black tape on my side. It delivers transdermal vitamins and supplements.

This has to be a gimmick. Besides, I noticed that he has a Superman tattoo on his arm. Mike Arvilla also has the same tattoo.

There is only room for one Superman tattoo on Getbig. Arvilla is a legend! (Lisa Lampanelli voice)

Did you repost this photo in case somebody missed the previous post? At least go to the trouble of taking a new photo, perhaps with a different pose. Fitnessfrenzy will do so many reposts even you will get sick of looking at yourself. 

I appoligize for the mismatched nipple comment I made earlier. I somehow forgot that you have a pec tear.

You should not underestimate bhank's vanity. I am sure he will not get tired of looking at himself. The gazillion selfies speak volumes!
