I'm 40, 5-8, and 185. I started gear back in the 80s when it was legal and easily attainable. I lived in HB, California back then, and it was all over the place. I've used wintrol, anavar, dbol and deca. PCT consisted of taking equal time off and antiestrogens were Arnold and Rambo movies. I quit using around 27 when I wanted to work on getting ripped and got into martial arts and endurance sports.
Then around 98-99, when 1AD got introduced, I started that. I'd only take the recommended dosages and didn't know much about PCT. I just sort of winged it with trib, ZMA and 6OXO. It wasnt' until Mdien and M4OHN hit the mags that I started using more than 1AD. Then I discovered M1T, 4AD, MDHT and Superdrol. I learned real fast about liver protectors, PCT, anti-Es and other ancillaries, right about when it all came crashing down. (Thx, elected representatives.)
My last cycle was a 4-week Superdrol/4AD and MDHT run. I'm currently doing PCT, CKD, MAX-OT and want to throw in some OT-1 when it comes in from IBE. (Gotta love those acronyms.) Like Dr. X, I run blood tests, check BP daily and don't touch alcohol at all. I've basically been an iron addict my whole life. I tell young punks that I don't care how old I am, I'll always be working out so when they want to throw down on the mat with me anytime, they better know how to tap out! I certainly don't feel 40 because of my iron addiction. And even with all the AAS/PH/PS use throughout the years, I've still got a full head of hair, no swollen prostate, and can give it to my wife whenever she needs it. (As long as I'm not too tired.)
I live in Colorado, too, so when I've got my hard boots and race board on, young shredders can't keep up. Of course I don't even try to hang with them in the park because at my age, no matter what you take, broken bones just don't heal as fast.
