[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For older men (or women) who were not athletic younger or lifted weights consistently it is very difficult to build muscle in your 40s and beyond.

I am man who has never had serious weight issues but have gotten out of shape now and again.  But as a father of teens I believe showing that eating healthy and exercising regularly sets a good example.  Fat men should do whatever they need to be healthy just like fat women.

Getting ripped without the benefit of muscle memory may not be possible for most people, no matter what GLP or diet they pursue.[/quote]

Which is why they are on testosterone. It's no secret that it's hard to put on muscle after 40, and it gets harder every year.  It's fair to assume that if you see a ripped guy over 60, he's on T.  [/quote]

Getting prescribed testosterone takes an act of god from a US doctor.  Even if you are point above the FDA chart no go.  A point below?  You get some microdose to get to the lowest level.

Testosterone is the most restricted prescription out there.  Even more than opioids now.

No, a ripped guy in his 60s may have a testosterone prescription but not enough to get him jacked unless shady doctor willing to risk career.

This is where the whole peptide or anabolic steroids come in; or crazy discipline to look that - and I would say closer to 55 dudes have to be serious and not on pharmaceutical train to pull it off.[/quote]

This.

See a ripped older dude then he worked out when younger and works his butt off in the gym.  I am 60 and while not ripped am pretty muscular and not on anything.  I work out in gym with trainer three times a week and run 5 times a week.  Also worked out heavy most of my life.  It is possible to gain muscle at any age -- it just takes work.  I was on a glp1 and lost 60 pounds, 7 of which was muscle, which is a lot less than normal because of the workouts.

If you are a GLP and still working out hard during the medication how or why do you lose muscle?
Like you literally just get weaker?  Go from benching 300 to 250 during the weight loss?

I get losing muscle if you are not using them but seems weird that your body would not be using the fat stores first for energy conversion than muscle; which is a lot more work for the body compared to fat conversion.[/quote]
