Let me tell guys -- training after 50 blows monkey balls. Back hurts. Knees hurt. Shoulders hurt. Even ankles hurt. Recovery is slower. Growth is next to impossible and heavy training is simply too taxing on the body. Steroid use must be very conservative. (I did a total of 600 mgs a week for 6 weeks -- first cycle in in years and I never did higher dosages in the past). No GH. No stims.
I'm not making excuses. There are people who have bigger handicaps than me. There was a guy at the show with ONE LEG. THAT, was inspiring.
I also don't want to be the "old guy" who bitches about how "it used to be." I'm just saying that the attitude in the post internet age (which seems recent to me but has been a part of a lot of guys lives their WHOLE life), is this belief that it's all about the drugs. Someone does a gram a week, gains 2 pounds of muscle and 5 pounds of water and gets congrats on his "progress."
I hate to be the "Ghost of the Past" but I'm tellin' ya...those kind of gains do not stay. What stays is solid muscle, hewn from lifting hard and lifting often.
I ain't no mass monster. But I do believe the reason I can hold on to what I have is more because of the all the drugs I DIDN'T use. And with the supplements available today, there's no reason for stupid dosages.
Hell, if a hardgainer old fuck like me can get away with 600 mgs and extra supplemntation (mostly GEAR) for 6 weeks , you guys who are 30 -35 should be able to make ASTOUNDING results.
It all depends on if you have the balls to do it.
