Hello dear! I weight trained for 6 years until the age of 22 then jumped aboard the gravy train! I had great sources and all my friends were on, so it just seemed like the next step. IP: Logged |

I've been training for 4yr and have experienced great gains. Never thought i would want to use AS but after I went to last year's Nationals and seen all these monsters, right then and there I felt it in my bones that I wanted to go to the "Dark Side". IP: Logged |

I started at 21. I was looking for cheap supplements online and didn't really see what I was looking for so on a whim I started searching for as online and found the anabolic world and from their scammer list I found elite fitness did a search for it and found my new IRON family. I started cause I was sick of slow gains. I had gained about 25lbs naturally over 3 years and was stuck. IP: Logged |

I have not done my first yet (still seeking a domestic with integrity) but the cycle/plan is in place after 1+ years of research. Why the decision to go? Because the results after ~4 years of "natural" training combined with "hardgainer" genetics is PISSING ME THE FUCK OFF! Also, as a lifter in my 30's LBM gains will never come easy (i.e. time is not on my side). Later bro, IP: Logged |

Actually, I was convinced by the one person that I think we should all be conviced by. MYSELF. I don't believe in doing this for anyone other than me and my personal happiness and well-being. This site and all of it's information and knowledgeable, experienced users is merely a vessel from which I draw the answers to all the questions of how to go about it. I should mention that I have yet to do my first cycle, but only because I am waiting for the rest of my gear to get here. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I started lifting in HS because I was so small. I experienced decent gains but when I got to college and was working out in the same gym as some REAL bodybuilders - that's when I felt the need. However I only ran a few cycles while in college because of the lack of money. Now that I am getting back into my training again (and have a real job) it will only be a matter of time untill I run another cycle or so. IP: Logged |

Actually, I'm still "natural" at this point. (If you consider having tried every legal supplement -- including prohormones ((that don't work for s$%t)) -- natural) With that said, I do have an order on the way. I'm not sure how long it will take me to make the step after I receive the order though... Probably not long after the "scared" factor subsides. I've trained for about four years with great progress. I could continue to make progress naturally. I guess there were several things that prompted me to think about roids: First: I'm getting tired of throwing dollars down the toilet for supplements that don't work. Second: I've researched quite a bit, and have found a cycle-type and types of roids that I can live with healthily. Third: I just want to know how it feels. Fourth: I'm training to acheive specific results, why not use the tools available to me? Especially ones that without a doubt work. Fifth: In some ways, I'm attracted to the thrill of the idea -- of pushing myself in a way that most people aren't willing to do. To belong to a special, underground brotherhood. Sixth: Results. Period. Seventh: I know that I can take it or leave it. I don't have an addictive personality and I don't see it as making a lifelong commitment. In other words, I'm not scared that once I start, there's no going back -- I can take it or leave it. I'm sure that there are other things going on in my mind, but these are the seven that jumped out. BTW -- IOWA -- you from Missouri Valley? I'm down in Des Moines. Thought I was the only Iowan on the board, good to see another bro. Peace. IP: Logged |

Two and a half years of training and dieting-I gained about 15-20 lbs. of muscle. I had a really hard time gaining weight naturally. IP: Logged |

I WAS JUST SO FUCKING TIRED OF PUSHING THE SAME WEIGHT. I MADE AN EDUCATED DECISION. I WILL NEVER LOOK THE WAY I DID BEFORE. EVER. I MADE A PROMISE A LONG TIME AGO TO MYSELF TO NEVER STOP TRAINING. THIS IS THE WAY I'M GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT I'M IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE. FUCK DESTINY. IF IT WASN'T FOR "GEAR", IN 30 YEARS I WOULD STILL LOOK THE SAME MAYBE EVEN WORSE. FUCK BELIVE IN NOTHING BUT YOURSELF. STRONG BODY, STRONG MIND, STRONG SOUL. IP: Logged |

Big Truck: I really liked your post on this thread. That's exactly the kind of stones I have rattling around in my head as I sort through my ambivalence about the whole gear thing. I, too, have never used gear, and all the rest of your story fits, even down to having lifted for four years, still getting good results. Really liked your thoughts, bro. Keep us posted on how it works out for you. Bjaarki ------------------ BECOME SOMEONE'S HERO! IP: Logged |
