    Why did you start using gear?

    Why did you start using gear?
    It’s not an easy question to answer since many users feel inadequate with themselves and feet that the pursuit to look like a muscle god requires anabolics.

    I’ll be honest I haven’t started using gear yet, but feel I will in the next few months. I told a close friend that I was seriously considering taking the plunge and he didn’t understand why I felt I needed to take steroids . He said I wasn’t a professional athlete and it wasn’t as though a million dollar contract was in jeopardy if I didn’t take them.

    So why did you folks feel the need to start taking gym candy?

    I was just curious about them but never used em(unless you count a month of slin).

    Alot of my friends were but I never felt the need to, I was lifting heavy and making progress all the time, just shoving food in, 10 boiled eggs, a can of beans, a can of tuna, 2 tbs olive oil, with 2 cups of rice was a normal meal for me.

    wierd as it might seem, I made alot of progress and kept up with my friends who were using roids, they put more wieght on some lifts and I put more on others so I never thought I was lacking.

    And the thought of my balls shrinking is enough for me to stay away, I have an edge naturally so Im not gonna mess with it.

    I was young and naive. At 19 I didn't fully understand what I was getting into and took the plunge anyway based on the results my buddys were having. I was also 135-140 lbs. do I regret it? you bet. I wish I had done my first cycle now, at 24, instead of then.

    only did 1 cycle 20 years ago...friend/roommate was a bb and I also wanted to get bigger/stronger quicker, easier.

    20 years later(present), I started because of low T.

    Because, if you want to BE abnormal you have to DO abnormal things... and AAS are one way to create a very helpful/effective increase in anabolism, especially for the cost.

    I'm realistic and have always realized the only way to make it in competitive bodybuilding is through using drugs. Earning a pro card is my goal, not to say it will ever happen, but it something I will always aim for.

    I wanted to be huge. I have always wanted to be since i was younger.

    When I first started liftin I was a skinny fat kid and was tired of not fukin hot chicks so I lifted weights every day and hardly ate and ran a lot. I lost a lot of weight but didnt get bigger (of course).

    After learning about diet and lifting more I got up to 225 @ 12%BF and messed up my shoulder and was struggling to gain weight ever since then til abot 10 months ago.

    I will probly never stop until I am at least 250@15% or less.

    I first became interested in gear around 10 years old or so. I was big into pro wrestling with guys like the ultimate warrior and hulk hogan. I used to say to my parents I wanna be big like those guys and they would say no you don't want to do that because they use steroids . So thats when I realized if you want to be big you need juice. So it was always in the back of my head and I was always a bit of a drug experimenter. So one day I decided it was time to change my life style and stop being skinny as hell and start lifting. So I lifted natural for a while and perfected my diet and and cut back big time on drinking and started gaining weight. Eventually I got a hook up on gear and thats where I have been since.

    I notice that in this board alot. Being bigger doesn't make you better.

    How come you guys don't think better looking girls are better. Most usually put them down.

    Not directed towards u personally ky

    Well, Im not big at all, not even on roids.
    It just seems that why people do them, I mean why else?
    Those who use them cant say they dont like "being better than others" and bigger and get more attention ya know.

    Personally if I ever did them, I would walk around feeling great about myself, just knowing Im bigger, better, stronger than you(meaning others...the "normal")

    See what Im saying? lol,

    yeah. why do something for 10 years when some juice will get the job done in 4 years. I mean seriously. We all workout hard and bust our asses for the muscle we gain, juice or no juice.
    But in the end juice IS a shortcut because hardly anyone that gets on the juice has reached a unbreabakle plataue.

    But then again the smart man always pics the shortcut Most possible result in shortest possible times.

    I was 5'6 140lbs on my heavy day. I was sick and tired of the "hey small fry" blah blah comments. I started hitting the gym at about 18 but didn't know what i was doing till about 20-21. I made a lot of natural gains but my frame was still so small. I mean how big do you think a 5'6 140lbs guy can get naturally ? So i said F$^$ it , if this is what i have to do then so be it. Found a few buddies of mine that did gear and purchased from them. I am now in the game till i can get to my goal which is about 180-190 with low BF.

    Next guy that calls me small fry will be checking into the hospital that same night

    What weight did you do your first cycle if you're 165 now? I am 5'6" and I got to your goal weight naturally before touching AS. There is no way I would have used at 150 pounds.

    I didn't start AAS at 140lbs. When i learned diet i got to 160-165 eating like crazy. I finally hit 170lbs but then my body started putting on too much fat with muscle. I just started my new cycle and am currently at 168lbs now.

    Do me a favor. Or I'll do it. Start a thread in the AS question & answer section and ask if someone 5'6" 150 should use AS and see the responses.

    Matter of fact, I think I will do it.

    5'6" 150 is 5'6" 150. Either your a fat 150 or a skinny 150. Either way, 150 is NO WHERE near the genetic limit for a 5'6" frame.

    do it Carlos. Just shows what a hypocrite you are. If a member started a thread about something you done or said you would lock it.

    Oh wait you already did that.
