Here's a thought..
I was just reading an earlier post that looked to be an article titled "Is Testosterone My Problem?" and it mentions how as men age, we get more fat around the midsection, hair thins on top, hair grows in other unwanted place, blah blah blah, etc., and although the post was more a plug to get people to go to the poster's link in his signature, it got me thinking a bit.
It took me about 12 years to get myself from 130 lbs to almost 220. I used a lot of test during that time (highest dose was around 1.5g/week) and perhaps a few small cycles of stronger anabolic compounds like tren. A couple of years later and after my gastric issues (had my gallbladder out) I'm currently on a dose of 400mg/week of just test which started about 4 months ago, and yet, I feel like I'm not really responding to it like I used to. Not to say I can't feel it because I can definitely feel it—much different than only 200mg. Only, I remember when I did cycles of 400-500mg during that earlier 12 years, I feel like I got more out of it then. (Diet is pretty much the same with just being careful not to consume too much fat at one time.)
So some of you older guys heading into your 40s, see what you think. My theory: the older we get, we don't respond as well to androgenics when trying to build muscle, and we need more anabolics. I would bet that as we get older, to build muscle, perhaps more anabolic compounds should be used with a base of test. Since I'm planning my next cycle, maybe keeping test at my dose of 400mg/week is all I need and just add in tren ace at 150-300mg/week. I'm giving it some serious thought.
