Should Old People Take Steroids? 

When I die at a 105 I want to be too jacked to fit in a normal casket. /s

Was going to put grandad on tren before I saw this

Granavar

We need a lot more people tuning-in on these

Before watching the video, the answer better be "yes" 😂😂

The risk to reward argument is valid. But if you're 80 years old I feel like I'd happily take on risks if it meant I would regain strength and mobility. Thereby also reducing risk of falls. Look at how many elderly die from that

73 and been doing cycles since I was 50. Doing it responsibly is not a problem.

I am 54 and been on TRT for 10 months and feel fantastic. I don't think I ever want to be off it .

But what if they’re old AND pumping iron AND doing the GOMAD? Can they still get jacked with copious amounts of gear?

For the algorithm. Also, sound volume on the intro is just fine.

Commenting for the algorithm, keep up the great work!

I think I've said this before, but what is up with your volume levels in these videos? The intro is ridiculously loud compared to all other youtube videos.

Good subject keep up doctors 🥼

I am 76 and have been working out since 14. Never did roids until low dose TRT a couple of years ago. I did try anavar several years ago and was amazed by it for the 2 months I was on it. I have been reading that it helps prevent sarcopenia and helps slow down osteoarthritis. Is it possible to get a prescription for it I wonder?

Wow research really helps...

What do you docs think about HRT for menopausal women?

Muscle growth is possible at any age. Old People are just too quick with the TRT/gear fix instead of just getting to gym. Getting old aint for wimps. So start lifting hard and heavy. Heck, I'm a natty virile 67 and I'm stronger than I've ever been.

Sry but no one is gonna stop me from pouring tren in the water to turn the friggin frogs jackeeeed !!!

As a disabled Veteran, I like to enjoy my last days while I'm here.

hi,i'm 50 but I don't want to do TRT I don't want to be a slave to the syringe for life, so is 2 cycles a year advisable at my age?Or is it dangerous ?

Isn't cardiovascular disease a long term process though? If the elderly patient is 70yrs old and has no other risk factors for CV disease, wouldn't they have to be on anabolics for a long time to be at risk for CV complications?

Why aren't there studies on older folks and anabolics? Same reason every ExSci study is 12 weeks - researchers rely on college kids because they're available and cheap.

What about trt or hrt? Do the benefits outweight the downsides? Are there any significant downsides?

Absolutely. In fact, seniors are the group that would derive the greatest health benefit from them. They reverse the signs of aging, and muscle loss is among the primary symptoms. Remember, steroid were created to mitigate muscle wasting diseases, and there's no greater muscle wasting disease than aging. As for the risk, cardiovascular disease is already the #1 cause of death. So its not as if being prescribed will steroid will lower that number. As you mentioned, they will likely die of that regardless. Regardless of the doses given, you're not going to get big muscles unless you workout and diet. So we're taking 20% of the population even if the doses were high.

"We need more evidence to know if steroids work on elderly people". Take steroids like candies and get swol.

The BBM guys have started shilling for big dunkin'

I've met at least 30 guys in there 70s over the years. Every one on testosterone. They all looked great. And they had good blood work. I'm definitely going to take steroids when I'm old.

So what's the date on stem cell therapy?

I'm willing to try when i turn 60 I'm just 46 now i have 14 years to go. My total cholesterol both numbers is 141 and blood pressure is usually 118/68

What’s old?

Very interesting

I've certainly been swayed by vocal members of the fitness RU-vid community into deciding that, when I'm older and my test production isn't up to snuff, I'll consult my doctor about prescription test. I'll definitely take a look at the Testosterone Trials and keep an eye on the research, though. I've hopefully got a good twenty plus years before that's relevant.

Always fun to hear young people talk about if old people should take roids. Like when docs are all super experts on a medicine they have never ever taken themselves. When you get old enough you learn to see past bullshit like that cause then your knowledge is based on first hand experience. Anti aging has developed in some countries but many lack behind.

How can you know how older people feel when you have never been old .? Guess that's how you feel some 70yr Olds are stronger than your age

I do not want to go peacefully into the long good night

Inconclusive af.

I think they are talking only about taking supra physiological amounts of testosterone, but not TRT levels. TRT levels would only be beneficial, provided you compensate for side effects like Dutasteride for the prostate and Statins/Niacin to reduce lipid levels.

Myostatin Suppressant and "Neanderthal Bone" gene therapies. Why do these not exist already???

So steroids are GOOD for you until you become elderly?

You should not comment on what is obvious you don't know very much. These two guys give their opinions as if they were old sharing knowledge of the 1950's. But wait, if they were that all they both be using anabolic steroids.

If not for elders it's seems that is very benefitial for you to take steroids in many different ways. :)

What about elderly GAINZZZzz, bro?!

Yes goddam it😡

what about testosterone replacement therapy?????

There is no data in supoort of trt treatments? Really?

Three answers: 1: Hell 2: Yeah 3: Brother!

How about doing some research.

They're talking low low doses here....just enough to slightly raise testosterone...they would do better taking a bit more than what the doc prescribes

Dude, I’m 40 and my lower back aches I. The morning. I have arthritis in my knees. Please just let me move around comfortably in my golden years. Let me pump iron at a level that that’s 80% of where I am now. Don’t let me be be of those guys that walks with a cane everywhere and has trouble going up a stair case. I’d rather be euthanized than live like that for my final years.

Darn. The title pulled me in, but the content was WEAK. I know you guys can do better. I mean, at least acknowledge all the non-standard evidence that it *might* work -- the reason it is a potentially attractive idea, in the first place, in other words. If there are only dumb studies on it, why is that? Are we lay folk missing something? Is there a good biomedical reason that this on the surface plausible idea might be wrong? This topic seems so entirely in your guys' wheelhouse that the "there haven't been any good studies so we can't say anything" answer was really disappointing. We know sarcopenia is problematic. We know that our ability to build muscle diminishes with age. Why wouldn't a muscle-building agent have potential medical application? What is the counter-argument? Are there any case studies? Anecdotal evidence? Gym wisdom? What studies would you like to see and why aren't they being done? There are plenty of interesting angles on this topic. Unfortunately, none of them are discussed, here...

Interview Milos Sarcev on this

If the Barakis and Feigenbaums of this world can share dunkin donuts together there is hope for us too in Palestine and Israel.

Age 64 low testosterone

Unless you are happy being a pencil neck you will take TRT when you are old. Why do you so many Geezers take TRT if it didn't work?🏋️‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏃‍♂️
