As I saw this stories in different news feeds, it occurred to me that maybe they ought to publish a fitness test/goal for all Americans, by age and gender.

What should I be able to do, for example, at age 76? Tie my shoes? Get up off the couch at least once an hour?

My days of doing pull-ups are certainly in the rear-view mirror.

Is there any such thing out there?

Sec. worm.brain is 72. He's doing pull-ups.

He's also on hormone replacement therapy to help him maintain muscle mass. Anabolic steroids.

TRT and anabolic steroids are not the same dosage, not even close.

TRT and anabolic steroids are not the same dosage, not even close.

That makes no sense.

Could you rephrase that?

I won the president's award for physical fitness back in 1968.

I doubt if I could manage a single sit up today due to my arthritis.

You gotta admit he gets around pretty good on those heels.

He's getting shorter from age and wearing elevator shoes to make up for it.

He should join Kiss.

Testosterone replacement is not the same thing as taking anabolic steroids to get huge muscle mass.

The difference is essentially the dosage. This may help:

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a prescription to treat low testosterone levels in men (hypogonadism), while steroids are usually not taken to treat a medical condition. The terms “anabolic steroids” or “taking steroids” often refer to manmade steroids used by bodybuilders and athletes to build muscle and improve athletic performance.

TRT is bioidentical hormones made with the same compound testicles produce, and is designed to treat clinically low testosterone levels by replenishing exactly what the body has lost or stopped producing. Steroids are used to stimulate muscle growth. They typically elevate the body’s testosterone levels beyond a healthy amount and cause more serious side effects.

“Both TRT and steroids involve testosterone or related hormones,” says urologist Joshua Calvert, M.D. “But the goals and doses are very different.”

Testosterone is the major sex hormone in men. It’s important not only for sexual development but also for physical growth and the following body functions:<a href="Is TRT Steroids? The Difference, Explained">4</a>
