Well, I'm really sticking out my ignorance here about anabolics - I was approached at the gym last night by a graduate student in exercise science who is apparently conducting a pilot study about perceptions of steroids. He asked if I would volunteer to participate in his study, especially since I've never approached using anything like that before.
From our brief conversation, he said he wanted to compare impression and perception differences between younger lifters and..well, people over 35 (damn...I wonder how he could have known I fit into that latter category?). I agreed to participate, figuring I might learn some things about the subject.
One thing he mentioned casually (after I confirmed that I've never wanted to use them) was something called (if I recall this correctly) an andropad...or some kind of patch that contains lower testosterone levels that are particularly used for older people. He said they were used as a treatment for "andropause" which has something to do with the male equivilent to menopause changes that women experience. I've never heard or have known anything about this subject at all (yeah, I know...I turn 50 this year - am I supposed to be going thru some kind of change of life?)
I just wondered if anyone knew much about this - I'm likely to find out more during the interviews for his study, but I sure felt like I was out of touch. . .
