Reply to "Weightlifting and Male Hormone Replacement"

OMG, I never come and check this forum, I have had some of the same questions and worry about the same issues. I just turned 37 and I still power lift with a Pouch. Matter of fact 5 days after I won 2nd in Military Nationals I had my large intestine removed. After a year from my last surgery I started to try and compete again, of course it has been a hard road because I'm always anemic and loose/gain weight from week to week. I do notice more blood in my stool after a good squat day. But I honestly thought I was the only power lifter with a pouch. I'm glad to see all of your stories and see that pouches have lasted as long as some of yours have. My most recent visit to my Doc it was explained to me that because of all the issues i'm having with my pouch (pain, bleeding, pouchitis) that my pouch will not last too much longer and i should go back to the bag soon. I told them i was not ready to do this and have been training and competing like crazy to at least make it to the Arnold Classic because i feel like i'm on a time crunch. thank you all for sharing your stories, you just gave me that extra motivation I needed before I head to Raw Nationals next month.
