I am 52 y/o at 5’6” and weigh in at 180 lbs.
I have been seriously lifting weights for the better part of 9 years... prior to that was strictly lifting as a novice.
I run a very clean diet most of the year and even in the months that my diet is not as clean; I still strive to make healthy choices.
At the age of 46, I entered my first amateur bodybuilding competition and have competed in two others since then. This was a bucket list item and I have not decided if I will ever compete again, however, I still run a cycle or two a year and maintain a healthy life style so that if I decide to I am ready. When I am not on a cycle, I cruise on TRT which includes 200 mg/Test Cyp./wk, 0.5-1.0 mg/Anastrzol as needed. So I never really run a post cycle.
My diet typically consists of Chicken, Fish, Shrimp, turkey, Ground Turkey, 90/10 Ground Beef, and Steak (lean) 1-2 times a week for dinner, broccoli, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, green beans, and since I am bulking, I will incorporate carbs with every meal. Carbs will include, potatoes, yams, and rice.
Typically, my meals are dependent on whether I am cutting or bulking and the only fluctuation is the volume that I take in and the addition of increased carbs and/or the assistance of mass gainers while bulking to push my calories up. I will try to increase caloric intake on bulks without the use of the mass gainers unless they are required to reach a caloric surplus.
