every year its tougher and tougher to get and stay in shape. Five years ago I packed a bull elk out all but one pack full, no way I could do it now, thank God for outfitters and young guides. I just booked my 2nd elk hunt for next year.
Just turned 49 in years, 67 in mileage
53 (6 foot 226 pounds)but still run at least once a week or more for 2.7 miles on the tread mill. I lift twice a week with 220 pounds bench free weights. I can bench 240 but I start hearing scary noises in my shoulders!!lol 150 squats and stretches. After this is done I grab 3 ibuprofen and a beer!!!lol To many years of mua tai and cage fighting have taken it's toll on my knees and shoulders. I pop and crack in places that I don't get. I just need a few grease zerks then I would be good.
I can still shoot .5moa or better so I guess I should feel lucky.

How old am I...well when I was born there was only the Big Dipper, now there is a Little Dipper , should have used contraception.
I'll give you the answer my 55 yr old Dad gave me when I was 28.
" I feel fantastic ". 2017 July as he was hours from leaving us I confronted him- I asked him "why after 28 years of truth- you told me such an awful lie ?" He smiled and said you were never unsure of yourself and accomplished many things I never could've done. I didn't want you to stop. I thanked him with a laugh but told him all those years of hardcore training and doing has me aching and hurting. He said " dont be a baby ".

Multiple broken fingers ankles sinuses 2x fixed broken noses etc etc. 52 6ft 210 maintained 31 years of daily running cycling free weights racing weekends. REAR ended high speed 2013 abruptly ended my lifestyle. I'm a better person as the concussion took 4- 5 years to be symptom less. If I eat leafy greens hydrate and walk I'm hopeful

Okay. So, slightly more than a year after this post and it needs to be updated. I switched from the pellet implants to weekly injections (1ml and I do it myself) and still do the 2 doses of HCG per week (50 units each) and the estrogen blockers twice per week. Since last November I have lost 40 lbs (220 down to 180) and my labs performed last week were perfect. Everything is 'in the green', body fat is down to....wait for it...only 7.4% and Testosterone level is through the proverbial roof!Had to revive this thread for an update. Fellas, I've discovered the Holy Grail for us guys who feel like their get up and go...got up and went...and DID NOT come back. Here's the rub:
So, I went to a local Dr (former ER trauma surgeon) who now specializes in 'Lifestyle Medicine'. I told him that basically I feel run down all the time despite getting a solid 8 hours sleep pretty much every night, just want to sit in a chair when I'm home and have pretty much lost my 'drive' for nearly everything. They drew several samples of blood and sent it off to their labs in Chicago for analysis. A week later I was given the results. Low Testosterone! WHAT?? I'm only 45, fellas. On a scale (300-1200 being 'normal range') I was at 290 for Total Testosterone. On a scale (120-565 being 'normal range') my Free Testosterone...which is what does ALL the work (your get up and go) was at 88. So, after discussing a few options with the Doc I chose a program where Testosterone pellets are surgically implanted (in your backside) every 3 months. I also have to supplement with an estrogen blocker AND HCG to keep my body's own production of Testosterone going.....what little it's producing. Well, it's been 2 weeks now and I'm really starting to feel GREAT! Energy is coming back, mental clarity/focus is sharper, I find myself looking for things to do.....AND the wife is definitely happier. Fellas, I would recommend going and getting your Testosterone levels checked. It may just be the reason you feel like you're slowing down WAY before you really should.
