Hey an older friend of mine was working out but I was telling him he needed to throw on some lbs. He said he had some test and was going to take it. What does he have to loose "Hair" thats about it. How much would a 10 week cycle increase his blood pressure and cholestorl levels? What is the oldest person anyone has ever heard of using AS? What do you guys think?

He should have his PSA levels checked before using at that age. The blood pressure and increased heart rate are indeed a tough call.

Its not uncommon to be put on test therapy at that age but I would consult a doctor first.

Alot of older guy's go on test and HGH under Dr. supervision. I say get a consult and go for it. Probably make his life better.

Best to go to a doc under the pretense of a physical. Make sure he does all his hormones. If his test level is low he'll have no problem getting a script, but he'll be on it forever. The only problem I see (and I don't have anything solid to back it up) is if his test levels are normal, will they come back that way post cycle? At 63 the body doesn't recover as well as it did. One cycle IMO may mean test replacement for life.

His risk of health issues will definitely be higher including heart issues from higher BP and enlargement of the heart, prostate swelling/cancer risks (badgermoon touched on this with PSA levels), and liver damage. I hope I'll still be healthy anough to continue at that age...but I'll damn sure keep my bloodwork checked often though.

The only thing he probably has to worry about is whether or not he already has a prostate condition. The addition of androgens would not be good in this case. That would be like giving estrogen treatment to a woman with breast cancer.

Bob Clapp, the famous steroid activist, still cycled and competed at 65. And let me tell you, he looked awasome. He has admitted to jucing for over 40 years, and he still uses steriods. I don't know if he cycles anymore, but he is on replacement therapy.

As far as having to "be on them forever", when you age your levels are lower and stay that way. Even if you don't cycle, at that age you will have to always do HRT, or go back to what you wanted to change in the first place. I'm 50, and regardless of whether I do a big cycle, I'll be on HRT, just a fact of life and aging. Its only a matter of if you are healthy enough otherwise.
