Well after much deliberation I have deceided to spend the rest of my competitive days natural. For the past 10 years I have studied, educated, and made my body grow beyond my dreams. As things happen and life's paths change I find that the more I try to take things the more side effects I encounter and most important the more my sense of well being changes and I become a total ass and become very depressed. My life has been bodybuilding and still will be but I guess I have reached the age to realize that I will never be pro and keeping my moods, my mind and my goals in business have become more important than being a 5'3 inch freak. This is the hardest thing I have ever done saying no to something thah has built me up and made me at times feel so wonderful, but its time for my body to have a rest and recapture my true personality and grasp reality. To all on this board that I have become friends with, answered e mails for and the likes thanks for the friendship. I still will come back at times to answer questions as I still will read about our " supplements" and be able to share information I have gathered. Keep at ease that I will not become a Bill Phillips client but hope to compete again naturally. To all who inspire to reach the top keep your dreams alive and never give up. for those who have made it congrats. As for me I have acheived my dream of winning a trophy in a major contest but for now want to go back to being in touch with my body. You are all great people and I wish each and everyone of you bodybuilding greatness. Stay and flex hard FLEXED1     | ||

That is a respectful decision. The reason you used AS is to improve your life and body(both mentally and physically). If it does not fulfill that task any longer then it is time to move on. Good luck, brother. ------------------ http://2thick.elitefitness.com | ||

Hey Dude, can I have the rest of your gear? Only kidding. but it is often a time like this when you realize that there is a world outside the dogged chase of a pro card. Then the magic is when you start applying the discipline, energy and focus to other areas in your life. You will really see the time in the gym honed more than just your body. Jae | ||

It's good that you have the self awareness to make such a difficult decision. But don't feel that you have to leave the board because you are not still an active user of AS. You have alot to offer so if you have the time drop in. | ||

I have been clean for 2 years. I do not know if i will ever go on another cycle but I do know I will never become a champion. I have a family now, they are what I love and it is not easy shit is still wrong!!! However, I feel good and I have lost alot of gains and it sucks but I am still lifting and I acn promise that I will be lifting for a very long time, no matter what, on gear or without. Take care of your body, stay lifting,enjoy your life. I did not met you but hey you are still an IRONBROTHER take care bro good luck!!! "STILLHERE .......AFTER ALL THE SHIT...." | ||

Ive not had the pleasure of speaking with you bro, but I have to say that what you said made more sense than any amount of bullshit I could hear spew from the mouth of any ifbb pro. My father always told me that pride is not hard to swallow if you chew it long enough... You are a great example to us all, and I wish you the best I know based on your character you will be great. Email me sometime, ------------------ | ||

Not a bad decision. I've been there many times but lacked the fortitiude to do it "alone"(no juice). There comes a time in a mans life when the future and how he fits in is more important than the dreams of days gone by that have finally become unrealized. This is not the end, but a chance for a health beginning. Good luck and God bless.

Well they say we all have to take time out and re-evaluate whats important in our lives from time to time. Maybe you'll continue on as a natural, maybe you'll make it back to the "chemically enhanced" but whatever your decision, GOOD LUCK BRO!!!! You'll always have friends here. | ||
