No, it's capsule form. He needs horse grade. Doug knows, because him and I bought some.

How you doing, Sal? Uh, thanks for taking my call. I appreciate it. Um, I work out from home and I'm at my home gym, so I really don't have anybody to kind of talk to and boss my ideas off. So I really appreciate it.

So, yeah, basically, um, well, just a little history real quick. I'm, I'm, I'm 5,400, uh, five, six, 165 pounds. Um, I've been working out, um, on and off God since my, my, my, uh, my mid twenties. After I got out of the service, um, Really kind of got back into it the last six years or so, and been very consistent the past year and a half.

It's just, I do, like, I work out five days a week, three days with weights, two days with abs, a little bit of forearm routine there. It just seems like it'll take a little too long. I'm about two hours in each day, which, I mean...

I got nothing else to do, so it doesn't really bother me, but it's just, you know, at times it kind of gets, you know, tough to get motivated when you know you've got two hours of work ahead of you. And at times I just feel like I'm spinning my wheels here. I had a couple of DEXA scans, came in about 19% body fat.

And at times I just feel like I'm spinning my wheels here. I had a couple of DEXA scans, came in about 19% body fat.

But in a nine month period, I gained about five pounds of muscle, which is about a half a pound per month, which I don't know if that's good or bad for a guy my age or not. Had a couple of testosterone tests. I came in at 687 and with the total and free at 91. I did one previous about two years prior and I actually increased my testosterone by like 34 points.

I don't know if that means anything or not, but Um, any advice you have would, would, uh, would be appreciated.

I just feel like if I would miss out, like I, you know, I, I do the, uh, you know, the, the, the main primary compounds, uh, squad, you know, bench overhead. And then I do some isolation. I just feel like those isolation is so important that I wouldn't, you know, I wouldn't want to kind of get rid of them.

You know, I, I just don't know where, you know, that's why I asked me, am I doing too many, too many, you know, I'll do one main, like I said, one main compound and then I'll add another isolation to kind of, um, help with some secondary stuff. I kind of like the routine I have, but...

Well, I experimented with that, Justin. I actually cut it down to a minute and a half. And in the grand scheme of things, it really cut like 10 minutes out of the total time. And it's not like I'm rushing for time. That's not the thing. It's just kind of like... It's almost like a second job at times where, okay, now I know I've got two hours to go around in my basement now to work out.

Working out is my passion. That's pretty much my main hobby. It's all I do, really, so it's not bad. But there are days, especially on a Friday, when I know I've got two hours, when I kind of just want to relax after I get home from work. It can kind of be a little demotivating at times. And then, as far as spinning my wheels, like... I'm just not seeing, like, the huge gains.

You know, all this time I'm putting in, I kind of would have expected a little bit more from this. I'm kind of in a bulking phase right now, and it all kind of went to my gut. So I'm like, you know, that's a little disheartening there, too.

am I chasing ghosts at my age? I mean, is it still possible for me to get, you know, so much jacked here?

He's almost 60. He's 20. He's almost 60. Yeah. No, the map's anabolic. Again, I work from home, so I mean, I don't know if I don't have access to certain machines and all that.
