At 58 heavy lifting is no longer in my workout.....I still go to the Gym 5 times a week, but most of my time is on cardio (1 hr). The other 30 min mild workout on machines... I also walk/hike at least 5 miles a day to keep myself in shape for my annual Mt Whitney One day hike 22 miles up to 14,495 ft.....If the 22 miles don't get you, then the lack of air at that elevation makes it a bit more of a challenge. No supplements, but also no fast food....:thumb:

Do you guys lift 1st or do cardio 1st?

I heard that cardio after a work out if better for keeping your muscles from going into a catabolic state but I also hear that getting your heart rate going before you lift really helps the repair stage get going sooner.

Or is it better to warm up with a little cardio, then lift, then finish out with some intense cardio???

Granted everyone is different but I do cardio after my workout or in the morning which is the best time imo.

LMAO... my blouse didn't fit after my tour in Iraq haha sleeves came up about 4" from my wrist. And I couldn't cross my arms in a hugging motion. Everyone made fun of me for it :)

Yeah my nwu's (navy blue version) look like pajamas on me now. I couldn't roll up my sleeves. So I would just pull them up a bit. People ask why I didn't roll them up and I told them I couldn't. Lol. I could move around fine just couldn't roll them up. 2xl xlong just to hit my wrist. But I have monkey arms as it is. Lol 6'3 but finger tip to finger tip is 6'6. It sucks when lifting. I have soooo far to travel.

This is what I did. I would warm up on the bike. That way I didn't tire my arms or upper body. Then more on tread mill or oliptical after. Worked for a good cool down. Some days I couldn't do it. I could Bearly lift my arms to drive. Hahahaha

I use a combination of Optimum Nutrition Natural ProComplex & One World Whey on workout days. I add Powerlabs Creatine to every shake and take Now Sports Arginine super stack before going to the gym. When I want to add weight I take Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass with no sugar added. I don't go to get big, just stay strong for ice hockey. I'm only 150-155 but I can bench 225. :)

Creatine just makes me poop. Everytime I took it I would be in the gym on the pot instead of lifting.

One thing I have been wanting to ask is if anyone is doing testosterone therapy?

I have been going to Mens Vitality for almost 3 months getting tes/B12 shots. I was feeling sluggish, no motivation and just kinda blah. Decided to try the tes therapy and WOW! My initial tes reading was 325, really low for being 27 and in good shape. Now I stay at a constant 1050, bigger stronger faster is the best way to put it.

Took about 4 weeks for it to kick in but now I could never imagine living without it. Every 5 weeks they take blood and make sure everything is working properly. I had them do an estrogen test this last time and my results were a little high so I got a prescription for an estrogen blocker.

Long story short, if your thinking about doing it I recommend it. Cost me $65 a week (cash) and that includes the blood work. The wife likes the results too!

Wow that's crazy. I'm not sure if big navy would like that or not though. I bet mine is low too. I'm always tired. I can drink a monster or a cup of coffee and be ready to nap 30 mins later. Never motivated anymore. Lol.

A good steroid will do wonders to sex life, matabilism, energy. Do you have to take this for the rest of your like or just do cycles?

As far as I know forever. The dose I get every week is low compared to someone using tes in a cycle. I get a 180 dose and my friend uses 750 a week on his cycle. Im sure his tes levels are in the 2000 range.

On a side note
1000mg test (your choice sust,prop,decanote,etc..)a week
100mg Anadrol or 40mg d-bol a day
100mg Tren a day
That normally works well too from what I'm told.
