[QUOTE="North120, post: 162623, member: 39742"] At well over 60, I was surprised to learn that I had osteoporosis. My doctor got suspicious since I am of normal weight and reasonably active for my age. My bones should be holding up better than they are. He tested me for T levels and my total T was half the minimum, and my free T was one-third the minimum. Not good, even for a guy pushing 70 fast. It seems that low T is a big cause of osteoporosis for older men. I get 80 mg a week in one sub-dermal shot. My doc want to get me into a normal range for a man in his 50's and 60's. It will take at least a year to see if it helps strengthen my bones. But, in the mean time I am wondering what other benefits older guys have experienced. I think my libido is getting a boost, but I certainly don't have the drive I had at 22. Still the woman in my life should be happier. I had been a member of a gym for about a year and a half. I quit partly due to my travel schedule, partly due to the fact I was facing surgery, but mostly because I did not notice much of a difference in my body. No matter how hard I pushed the workouts, progress was very slow. After an initial jump in strength, I basically hit a plateau at about 6 months and went nowhere for the next year. Could that be the low T holding me back? I guess I am interested in hearing from men in the 60+ group. What worked, and what didn't.? [/QUOTE]
