What do you think about taking orals when you are over 40.
I dont really see any issues.Hows your health?Is the old liver ok?If everything is good,then i dont see anything wrong...as long as you have done your research and have some kind of liver protectant,then you should be fine.What did you plan on running?

My health is fine. I've been off for about 4 years now. When I was on I never was a big fan of orals too much water weight. Now that I am getting up in age I am not sure if I want to put my liver through any heavy toxins. If I do use orals in next cycle it will be 40 mg dbol 4 weeks, 500 test e 12 weeks or 500 test e 12 weeks and anavar 60 mg weeks 7-12.

I am not sure I will do any orals. I am just looking for opinions on orals when you are over 40. No it's not my first cycle. I've bin on and off for years.
var should be ok....they have used it to treat alcoholics with liver damage!

I would avoid orals all together unless you are competitive and using somethign like halo the last 15-20 days. The stress on the liver and the blunting of the appetite doesnt lead to many positives I can see. A simple test and EQ or deca cycle would be far more effective.

yea just stick with good old test and EQ or deca. You can't go wrong. Me and my bro just started test +EQ cycles we will see how goes. Hes 6'1 210 and very lean. I 6'3 245 maybe 13% bf

the only oral i would touch is var if i'm over 40. it's the safest oral and liver toxicity is minimal. i know someone at the gym who is 65 and does var cycles here and there.
Can you comment on dosage and duration,tripleA?

IMO age has nothing to do with it. (Unless your asking should a 70 year old do orals) in a few years i'll be 40 so does that mean I should or should not take orals? You've obviously done some research and you do have previous experience running cycles so why are you hung up on your age lol. run the cycles you want to achieve the results YOU want, monitor your blood levels, Blood preaseure, and take all applicable precautions and countermeasures.
oh and have fun doing it.
Peace

At 41 I've done some var,winny,and superdrol. Lately I ran some var and had bad back pumps and increased BP. Think the future runs will be only injectables. Maybe Test,Primo and Geritol.
ive had bloodwork done while on var and it came back fine. i was on 50mg a day and i was drinking occasionally as well. the liver damage IMO is overestimated. its always better to be on the safe side and keep your water intake high, and a liver protectant if you feel it necessary, but IMO you should be fine.
