Radar you are spot on.....I started training seriously in 6th grade......and I was into supplements and trying different nutritional approaches, workout theories, all into my early 30s.....I was a compeitive athlete, powerlifting in high school and college, and a college football player with huge numbers in the weightroom (all natural)....and even with having a much more serious training age than most folks, and experimenting with supplements and diets, I was still making good gains into my early 30s.....because there is so much you can tweak with training, with diet, and supplements to keep making gains.....I had a serious run in with health and medical problems, so found myself on HRT...its been great, brought me back sort of close to my "normal" self....and Im so thankful.....but even with a blast of 400mg Primo in addition to HRT over a year ago, and a recent blast with Var and Masteron and upping my HRT dose, I still havent come close to what I was in my 20s and 30s natural....I think Id have to hit some heavier doses but even then my body couldnt handle the strength I had even 6 years ago natural so thats a moot point in my case at least......but I can assure you that recreational level commerical gym p$ssies in their 20s have not come close to their natural peak in most of the cases these people are posting....most folks dont know how to train, and/or how to eat right to gain, rest and recover properly, and have not been at it hard enough, long enough with consistency, and with enough dedicaiton, balls, and brains to be needing to juice....
I bet many of these internet types could make serious gains even if they did a basic program and supplement schedule, with simple easy diet, and stuck to it with serious dedication for 6 months......ah many of these guys juicing will come and go, they wont be hitting it as long as you have, it will be a year or so or maybe a 5 year period of their life, and then they will not be in the gym anymore.....
find an old Bill Starr program, a 5x5 type squat, clean, bench M/W/F or something...dont even worry about "bodybuilding" for 6 months....just start every workout with heavy squats or deadlifts, then a push pull like push press or bench, chins or rows, some assistance work like RDLs, BB lunges, step ups, and if your lucky enough to have a coach and bumper plates power clean, hang clean, snatch, and other olympic lifting variations until your balls bleed as your bread and butter lifts....then after those hit the squats or deadlifts, then some push pull sets....
hit it hard for at least 6 months, and chug a gallon or two of milk a day with some whey protein thrown in...take a multi vitamin, EFAs, some creatine and beta alanine, and lots of Vitamin C...eat 5 or 6 meals daily of tuna, eggs, chicken, even PBJ on wheat bread with honey as a sauce and slices of bananas, oatmeal, yams, brown rice.........
If youve trained for who knows 5-10 years consistently, and you try the above and dont grow, then maybe give yourself permission to juice hah.....otherwise your still wearing a skirt and looking for shortcuts
Im being sarcastic here with a hint of seriousness....so no need to flame or get defensive for anyone who has little mans syndrome or wants to have a penis measuring contest of why they are juicing or need to juice in their 20s....
