So, a good friend and former lifting partner turned me on to MC. I'm 46 years old and still lift daily. I used to be much bigger and more cut in my younger days, but 12 hour shifts at my job, a family and just plain getting old has put my bodybuilding on the back burner for far too long. But the last 6 months have seen a massive re-dedication on my part and my weights are skyrocketing to levels I haven't touched in 10 years. I'm focused and ready to keep the fire burning. Muscle truly does have memory and it hasn't forgotten all of the hard work I put in all those years ago.

I am 46 so you are calling me old? I am getting ready for my competitions this year including Master's Nationals, so welcome my brother and there are many SEASONED VETS here to help you! God bless!

Thank you all for the warm welcoming. You all are right. Using the term "old" is self-defeating. Me taking so many years off is what created that feeling of out-of-shape oldness. Every time I go through my five day split and take a day off I come back stronger and less "old" feeling. Thanks for the pep talks, guys.

Sorry it took a few days to get back on here. Work, gym and school five days a week. Nope, never have. I know if i did, I would REALLY be seeing gains. My body responds pretty well.

Good for you! Stay natty as long as u can. Too many guys go right for the juice when they would make great gains without them.

I don't really have a plan, because I'm making so many gains right now it's awesome. My lifts are literally going up 10 lbs each week even while doing cardio. When that plateau comes, which I know it will, I'm going to look to broaden my horizons, you know?

A lot has changed since I posted this. I'm currently on my 3rd cycle. The first 2 were 300 Sustenon. This current one is 300 Test E, 300 Decca and 50 Anadrol per day. I feel fucking amazing! Weighing 225 and gaining a pound a day.
