WTF! That like an entire row in GNC and the local pharmacy.
Do you stagger that or take it all at once?

After b-fast and dinner.
What's 'too heavy' for regular deadlift?
Why no other hormones such as?
- Pregnenolone
- EPO
- Melatonin
- Thyroid
The body's hormonal system works holistically so for optimum performance, balance is important.
Plus every hormones levels' go down with age (except for cortisol & a few others)
If testosterone is like having a bigger engine, EPO is like having rocket fuel for it.
Hematocrit level of 48-50% is ideal.

Holistically? lol by taking T3 and EPO?
My natural hematocrit runs over 50 (living at elevation). EPO has risks and I am in my 40s and do not compete. I think you need to read-up on exogenous T3 and -feedback. Might help to read about keto-DHEA as well.
Interesting list. Somewhat similar to mine though my amounts are smaller in some cases...I didn't list the amount of each.
SAM-E, DHEA (going to stop DHEA as I try 7 KETO DHEA), CoQ10, Daily Vitamin, D3, L-Tyrosine, L-Arginine, Resveratrol, Glucosamine-Chondroitin-MSM (may discontinue after reading some recent studies on it's lack of effectiveness...not sure yet), Fish Oil, Krill Oil, and ZMA at night. Just started adding 5 grams of Glutamine, and going to go to 10 as my immune system is beginning to give me a hard time. I use platinum pre by ON pre-workout (since I actually know what's in it). Never done growth hormones or steroids.
I supplement workout days with 120 grams of liquid whey. Eat lot's of Flax and Chia on salads or steel cut oats.
Train 4 - 5 days a week with moderate to heavy weight, rotating styles every 2 to 4 weeks using lifting techniques from centuries to rest pause and everything in between. 30 minutes cardio prior to workouts, but want to separate that to a different time of day. Robs my lifting energy. Age 55. 200lbs. I'm shooting for 185 with a body fat around 10.
I've never competed in weightlifting, so probably shouldn't be in this thread, but I was intrigued by your supp list. Training hard does seem to help keep old man age at bay. Get into a funk when I stay out of the gym more than 3 or 4 days consecutive.
Bummer about your T5. Good luck with your rehab/recovery on that. Injuries are a bitch!
Well, I guess my usage of "very heavy" is all relative. It just depends on the person. I broke my L5 when I was 17 but prior to that my last set was usually 405 with 50lbs in chains for progressive resistance. I was 185lbs and 6'4" so a little more than double my weight. Nothing crazy to begin with, but now I never go over 225 on deadlift. I need to get back to it, but I'm always worried about reinjuring my back. Last year I finally got my lower back in solid shape and was doing a lot more, until I fell while bouldering. The person "spotting" me hadn't moved the pad. I landed on a rock on my lower back. Not the best luck with my back lol.
Great thread dp - that's an amazing setup you have for a home gym. You obviously know your stuff. I started out training wanting to be a power lifter but my friends talked me into entering a bodybuilding contest since I was naturally cut. Did very well and entered four more after that. I still train and wanted to know more about your supplement list. I take a few of the ones you listed but was curious if you could elaborate or tell which ones are must haves - I'm a few years older than you.
