I am 62, have worked out all of my life. I powerlifted 32 years ago. I now work out with weight we used to warm up, bummer.
Over the last few years it was getting more and more difficult to work out. Fatigue, joint pain, lack of desire, all played a part in making it a difficult trip to the gym.
A year ago I was diagnosed with hypopituitaryism. I have been going to an endocrinologist this whole time. He does have me on test 150 wkly and synthroid 25mcg daily. My HGH is low, dhea is really low even with my present treatment. I have asked him to put me on hgh, but he just gave me a sermon on the abuse of it by body builders and pro athletes. I did ask if I looked like a bodybuilder or pro athlete. He said he doesn't want to risk his licence prescribing hgh.
So, here I am looking for thoughts. I know there might not be MDs on here, but I am not asking for absolute treatment guidelines. I think as much info weight lifters have on hormones maybe I can get some thoughts.
I have just ordered hgh and am going to self treat myself. I am thinking the test is high enough, so I am thinking of going with 2iu daily on the hgh. I have hard abs, but they are wrapped in belly fat. Maybe a little gyno going on under my arms. Mind is still a little foggy. I do watch how I eat closely. I do prepare my own fresh juices (16ozs) for breakfast, lunch, dinner. I eat small meals with them. I am hoping the addition of the low dose hgh should help me get rid of the fat and brain fog.
Any thoughts? thanks guys I am 6'2" 270, did a body fat reading two weeks ago and it said I am at 45% body fat.
