Now this is one intelligent post. Many write about how excited they get when they get on the juice, but some including myself go through just what you are going through now.

It is HARD!! You just sit and think and wonder what the hell is going on. Right now, though you are going through a typical stage. After a couple of months, as you say you have been on, most people gets the blues, I (don't quote or flame me) but I think that it has a lot to do with the emotional shifts A.S. has on you. Remember, roid rage is not the only emotion you can experience.

I would love to hear from some mods and vets on this matter because it has happened to me on more than one occassion.

What I always did was just take a few days off, relax, go somewhere, spend time with the other half in my life, and then storm back into the gym the next week. Remember, although A.S. greatly increases your recoverability times, you are still putting a lot of stress on your system, not just in the gym but your body is also coping with the new weight it has put on.

Anyways, I hope a lot of newbies read this thread and BUMP THIS BITCH TO THE TOP FOR A WHILE- this is more important than a lot of stuff on here.

My suggestion to you is this: STOP BEING A LITTLE BITCH! I know it sounds harsh but damn, that's the attitude you need to have. Keep in mind that your endurance, strength, and recovery times will go down. You won't be weaaker than what you were before you cycled, so know that it is a process where you make a few steps forward, and make a couple steps back- but you are making progress. If it was easy, then everyone would be big. Keep hitting it hard bro, take a couple days off to build your motivation.

i feel like i'm overtraining, yes, but i really don't think that's what it is since i'm only training hard four days a week. i do eat every three hours but my diet hasn't been all that clean.

Sittin' On Diesel - i know you get depressed and weak when you come off of steroids, but i'm not off! i'm actually taking quite a bit - 1300mg a week, that's why i can't figure out why the hell i'm so depressed and tired.

I deal with these feelings alot. My family and friends with few exceptions, frown on my body-building efforts. Most folks at the gym think Im a nut too so I dont get any outside support for what I do.

How do I stay motivated? I love the way women look at me. I love the way assholes avoid pissing me off. I love the way it feels to lift a shitload of weight. I love to grow.

When I dont feel like freakin animal I get pissed and tell myself: I want to be fucking huge and I dont have time for any bullshit. If this shit was easy everyone would do it. Get your ass in the gym!

Of course you could take more and more as some people do but your gains would still be limited. Take some time off bro. Taper down slowly if you are on 1300g a week and try some hcg/clomid to help you hold onto your size. Sure you'll loose some weight, but then you'll come back on your next course bigger and stronger than before as you will respond to the gear much better again.

It's the same with most drugs. If you drink alcohol all the time you build up a tollerence and need more and more to get drunk. You stop drinking for a while and then the next time you drink you don't need as much to get drunk. Same thing with gear.

What is that you say????

It's where they install a see-through glass in your belly....this way you can see where your going cause you got your head up your ass!!!!

last night i snapped some muscle or ligament near my knee while i was doing legs. hurts like a bitch and now i'm limping; so i'm going to take this chance to take three days off, then take some ephedrine and hit the gym again.
