Welcome To Anabolic Minds! Introduction Thread!

Good to know! I love me some BBQ. I'm in KY and one of my best friends is at Benning (overseas right now, though). So between that and driving to FL, I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm in GA!

Welcome to AM, Steve! Happy you found us here and hope you'll stick around. Always nice to have someone on board with the knowledge of that many years of training. And thank you for your service (father in law is retired Army, best friend just went in a few years ago -- lot of appreciation for servicemembers in our family and around my community).

You name it I'll make it leaner and tell you how. There's a few great chefs on this board now, The Solution 1-ups me by having a youtube with videos as well, worth checking out

I'll warn you it gets addictive though once you learn to make low cal desserts
 
Id say it does get addictive, i need to find a few low cal deserts been getting kind of out of shape since my injury and found a bit of a fondness for deserts :/

I should be a quick enough learner though as i worked in catering for a few years, just need to get myself disciplined enough to get my diet back in check, and find a few safe workouts i can do without injuring myself further.

Check out this thread:

http://anabolicminds.com/forum/recipes/230030-cooking-whey.html

Lots of solid desserts in here by our resident chefs (too many to tag all of them, now lol).

Also, the ice cream thread is not exclusively for low cal (in fact, most of it is the high cal stuff lol), but we reference some prep-friendly options in here, too:

Welcome to AM bro;).
 
Hi everyone. Although not totally new I'm somewhat renewed! Have been away from lifting for several years. Back now and recommitted. Looking forward to learning new concepts, supplements, and new community here. Cheers.
 
HI guys,

I'm 75 years old. I started pushing weights when I was sixteen and I kept at it until I was 25. Then, work just overwhelmed me and I had to give up. Most of the rest of my life I was behind a desk.

I retired at 70, I had got FAT. I was 320 lbs (you'll have to forgive me. I'm European and we work in Kgs and metric, so most of the time when I'm writing, I just use metric weights and measurements - deal with it) I started back at the gym, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't lose weight and my progress was abysmal to say the least. After four doctors, and numerous blood tests, I was told there was nothing wrong. I knew there was, because I couldn't get an erection if you paid me. I started doing research and asked doc to check Total and FREE testosterone. He didn't want to do it, but I insisted and also asked for a full range in prolactin, estradiol etc., he looked at my last test and told me that I had a very high testosterone for a man of my age (I was 73 then) and my total T was 487. So why did I want to waste my money, there was nothing wrong. I told him it was because I couldn't get an erection and the fool asked me why a man of my age would want an erection!

Eventually I got the results back. My Total T was just under 500, my Free T was so low they couldn't measure it and my SHBG was way too high. They sent me to a middle eastern endocrinologist? He was reluctant to touch me. After more blood tests he told me that I should get Testosterone injections, but that he couldn't prescribe for me because of my age and my high total T.

Bottom line is I had to self medicate. I'm using a mix of T Cyp and T Enanthate I started on 120 mg weekly, - waste of time. I doubled it and suddenly I started to feel alive again. I lost 45 kgs in 8 months and got my bench press up from 35 kgs to 60 kgs.

I added HCG to the stack, but I'm on pension, so I can only afford 1 IU daily. I've used Arimidex, Aromasin, HCG and even a bit of Deca. After almost 3 years going to the gym and pushing heavier and heavier weights, I'm quite pleased with progress, but I'm far from being satisfied.

It seems that there are people on this board who may be able to answer some of the questions that I have. I also have a lady friend who has serious problems as well, and you may also be able to help me to help her.
 
Welcome to AM!

Drop those or any other questions in an appropriate sub forum and we will happily help you out brother.

Lots of both intelligence and experience on the board here

Ps. Metric is superior, I will certainly appreciate its use here
