Could be trouble?

[Jaybird_72]

I had prepared for a show in May 2003; two weeks out, ready to step on stage, looked best ever then my father passed away. Mentally I couldn't get through the two weeks; I cracked. Watched the show and it ends up I would of cleaned up. Swore to myself that I would come back next year bigger and do even more damage. Problem is, I have not been clean for over a year. I am maintaining my current bodyweight on 250mg of sust however over the course of the last month I have been breaking out. Break out is causing acne on face that could lead to scaring. I was supose to start my bulking phase next week bumping test to 1gram and throwing in some insulin however if acne continues I'm off the shit completely and no show. What do you guys think are the chances of acne getting worse if up dosage?

Probably pretty good... increasing test that much is going to make your androgen level go way up...

My mistake, maintaining at 500mg rather than 250. Probably same result, sides will increase as mgs increase?

Yes, but hard to say how much.

Would you chance it if you were in my boat? I spent ton's of $, prepared for this show for years. Won the juniors tittle in '99 and have had my sights on the men's tittle since the juniors. I've always wanted to capture both titles at the same show. This is finally what it has come down to. It fuckin sucks.

It would really depend on how bad the acne was and how much it was detracting from my physique... are you taking accutane or anything else to help with it?

I did my first cycle as a teen, just young, maybe 16, knew nothing about steroids, good genetics. This older gentelman suggested that I take it to the next level and suggested that I try anadrol. Did it and consequently gave me killer acne. On accutane for 6 month to clear it up; caused severe scaring on shoulders and chest, created crazy self esteem issues. Acne on face right now is mild however anything on my face freaks me out. Would loose it if had a repeat of what I went through as a teen. Currently just using neutregena face wash however drys the piss out of my skin. Just a few occational zits on either side of cheek however skin is very sensitive and afraid that it could possible cause scaring. Skin tone on cheeks is red from few previous zits and irritation from wash.

Are you taking B5? Like 5-10 Grams a DAY?

Start now!

 

[Jaybird_72]

What's b5 going to do for me? Pill form i'm assuming?

 

[Riker29]

Dude, you gotta be kidding ............ LOL.

Get some B5 - LARGE dose caps. Start off with 10 Grams a DAY. NOW.

Its amazing, and cures a LOT of acne problems.

Get some NOW.

 

[Jaybird_72]

Thanks buddy

Those of you who have read this post, would you chance it and move forward increasing the mgs or would you lay of the beans all togther and say fuck the competition. If the acne remains the same the same i'm alright; if it gets worse i'm fucked. I am unsure what to do. How would you guys play the cards?

if your going to go for it...i say prepare the acne treatment a couple weeks ahead of time and cleaning your pores and face religiously....if ur not on accutane...then do the b5 treatment and use cetaphil as well...at least 2-3 weeks be4 cycle starts...then continue this all the way through and even PCT if your goin to go for it....thats what i would do...

get out in the sun, take some swims in the ocean too if possible... doing cardio in a swimming pool will also help the sweat from accumulating on your skin... I'm not a big b5 proponent but if you do want to try it, start BIG... 10 g's a day and yes... that's a lot of pills, lol. Start now as acne is never a quickly dissipating entity.

Dude I dont know if my opinion holds much weight as I dont juice. I know the feeling of wanting to win a certain title or your weight class etc. But, to be honest, are you going to go pro? Are you going to get paid doing this? Is your health worth a plastic trophy and a possibilit of being Mr _____ title? If I knew I might be scarred for life I would definitely not do it. The thing with the stage is its always there when you want it to be. If you need to rest your body, rest your body. But hey thats just me, I prefer not to have potholes in my face. Not a real good look for anything really. Good luck with whatever you decide.

what i did when my test started casuing acne was i went and got a decent sun BURN. sure it hurt, but since then i have had on pimples of any kind, and its been 5 weeks

10 grams a day is alot to start out on, I'd do five. In pumping Iron doesn't Arnold say he skipped a funeral or something because it would break his concentration.
