can people tell when you start a cycle?

[rickcorso]

Hey bros,

I was just curious, can people (friends, family, guys at your gym, etc) easily tell when youve started a cycle? Do you guys constantly get the "are you on steroids" question? How do you guys usually respond to this? Im planning on starting a cycle and I dont want people to notice too quickly (especially my boss at work).

It all depends on what you're taking. For example if you take dbol people may notice quickly because you will hold a lot of water. The water retention is the biggest noticeable factor. Make sure to run an anti-e (Liquidex, Femara or Aromasin).

ill definitly be running Arimidex with my cycle. Im doing test/EQ/dbol cycle. Im just worred that my boss might get suspicious.

Just make sure he sees all the food you're eating, although it will probably be hard to miss. And just give him the andro excuse. I actually hold a lot of water on 1-AD, so tell him you're on that. Tell him he should go get some at GNC.

Bro, don't fool yourself. Some people can't see the world in front of them. Other people see everything. Some people WILL notice you change - they just might not say anything.

I went from 220lbs to 240lbs many months back. I went to a business meeting with a very important guy in marketing, an older guy far removed from the world of juice and weightlifting. A couple months after the meeting I went out to lunch with him again. He said, "Last time you were here you looked like you were on steroids. What were you taking?"

I just finished my first cycle and a lot of people where suspicious because of the size I put on. Just tell them that you have been hitting the gym nonstop and dieting the way you should. I work in the corp world and a lot of people where askig me what I was doing. Just told them about my new found obsession with lifting and eating healthy.

The worse part or maybe the best part of doing a cycle, pending on your perspective is none of you clothing is going to fit. Everything I own now is F-ing tight. I had to buy all new button up shirts and 3 new suits. I guess it could be worse - could be buying smaller sizes...

I can tell when some one starts a cycle, but that's because I know the signs. But Only the people that juice know when I was on. Everyone else ask what are you doing? I always say " eating everything is sight, eating carbs like it was my job" he he

Chops

People do say shit but what your gonna do?
I was using arimidex thruout my cycle and still alot of people where asking me left and right. What are you doing? What are you on? You look alot bigger.
I keep telling them Im taking creatine.

even now people think im on roids even though ive never touched them before. I put on like 20lbs of muscle in the past 2 months and people started commenting like crazy. I cant even imagine what people will say when I actually do start my 1st cycle.

If you put on 20lbs of muscle in the last 2 months then I wouldn't get on steroids but rather continue to stay natural. It seems to be working for you.

Funny story, I set my friend up pretty good. Both wanted to bulk up. Told him to buy some Nitro Tech/Creatine. I on the other hand bought 8 -2.2 lbs of Sports Pharma Promax. See each other at the gym 4 x /wk. 3rd week being on Sus 250 375 mg, (up 8lbs)he was like WTF you are getting big and i haven't put on any weight yet?? By the end of the cycle ended up 17 lbs heavier. He had gained about 5 lbs on Nitrotech and said it was a BULLSHIT scam with the ads he saw in the magazines. To this day he doesn't know i got on the gear. So now he's on Sports Pharma PROMAX

Honestly, my gf noticed i got big , but always saw me eating food and just thought it was from eating 4500cal/day. Really don't get any bloat, but hella broke out (acne) 3 wks later on my face.

For me, everybody notices except my family. Most I will admit to if asked.

Do you live with them?

If you do, well then that's why. They live with you every day.

when people asked me when i blew up on dbol i told them. aint no shame. at least u have the bottle to take them.
been asked by quite a few people. and i told most of my close friends. they were quite suprised that i did them.

People have though I was on steroids since I was in grade 10 for Phuc sakes! People are so stupid, they think you can only get results if your on steroids.

How the hell can people know your on steroids? If you don't tell them they don't know. You could just know things others dont about bodybuilding. 90% of people are total morons about bodybuilding, I feel like shooting people that pretend that they know everything about it. Little stencil necks!

 

[bighead]

I manage to cover up my use with arimedex all thru out my cycles.Water bloat is usually the biggest give away.Especially with heavy test and I don't use deca.

GoldenM- Put down the bottle of Halo and take a deep breath.

I did a mild cycle but people accused me at work, thankfully it was pretty small and joking (all I did was 250 sust 10 weeks, no dbol etc). I put on a total of 18 pounds 14 of them lean, most of it occured after week 3.

I don't expect they would ever test me anyway, but I plan on cycle 2 around the holidays, perfect excuse
