Bodybuilding Veteran Opens Up About His Anti-Aging Secret at 59, Says It “Was Demonized for Many Years”

Bodybuilding over the years has caused fans to raise questions about many of its aspects. This includes the use of TRT or Testosterone Replacement Therapy as a part of the process. Veteran bodybuilder Rich Gaspari has been one of the most vital voices in the bodybuilding community, who had a thing or two about using TRT.

In a recent Instagram reel, the former Arnold Classic champion opened up about his relationship with hormone-based therapy. Having previously championed its anti-aging effects, Gaspari now came out with his consistent use and the ongoing debate over the therapy method.

Rich Gaspari and his decade-long tryst with TRT

TRT began as a controversial subject but is now gradually gaining its place in the community. In a detailed note in the caption and the video, Gaspari began by describing the basics of TRT and how people are now opening up to them to stay young. Having a doctor monitor the intake of the hormone is essential in order to reap the benefits.

Gaspari had been on TRT for nearly 10 years. The therapy increased his strength and helped him stay lean beyond his bodybuilding career. His idea was that TRT is a useful method for the older generation, who needed some vigor and energy. It prevents muscles from aging and Gaspari claimed it improved his mental health as well.

Explaining the different types of testosterones in bodies, Gaspari later revealed the intricacies of the therapy and how one must practice with caution. The caption read, “TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) was demonized for many years but is now accepted by the general public, especially the aging population of baby boomers and Gen X who are at the age of 40 to 60 who want to increase their quality of life”. Unsurprisingly, Gaspari was not the only veteran bodybuilder to champion the use of TRT.

Jay Cutler’s journey with TRT

In a podcast with IFBB pro Milos Sarcev, Jay Cutler spoke about TRT during his fit for 50 challenge. The veteran bodybuilder is almost 50 years old and now has a different yet suitable training routine and supplements.

While detailing his use of drugs and supplements, he opened up about how he stopped some drugs, such as Trenbolone, as a part of the challenge. However, he did not let go of TRT and openly declared that he didn’t have anything to hide. It seems like the use of TRT is slowly gaining acceptance among the public. However, it’ll be interesting to see the varying levels of acceptance. What are your thoughts on Gaspari’s views on TRT?
