I was on the other end of the spectrum, at my heaviest I was 296lbs over 3 years I cut down to 200lbs @ 23% bf, now I'm up to 226lbs @ 17%, ...I feel like I can fly, compared to when I was fat!!!

After I started cycling again I decided to ignore any feedback about my physique from non bodybuilders.

People in street were staring and friends family were saying wtf are you on?

There no way around it if you make substantial change in short space of time

Your try deny it, people aren't thick, they know you full of shit and lying to their face

You better just admiting what they already know

When they ask me what Im on I say growth, after that not to many questions. I dont lie about to many things, so I just tell the truth, happy to admit drugs have helped me, then I look at them at 150 wet and laugh a lot

I need to figure out if 25 more lbs is worth it, or if I can compete at a lean 205-210

Thats a good one!

Meh, i will just say I eat a ton, and I'm bulking. I don't think people would ask what I was on until I shredded up if that happened. I have gained 50 lbs in the past and people made comments about me being huge and saying how good I looked because they hadn't seen me in a long time, and i was so small before, no one ever accused me or questioned me about juicing, did it natural though. I think one time had a stranger have the guts to question what I was on. Later on I put a lot of weight on again, and never even got comments about the muscle even though I was lifting dang near twice as much weight. the only time I got notice was when I put the first ten pounds on.

My biggest concern would be people at work. I shower in community showers with management at work, so you can hide things well with clothing, but that might be a bit harder to hide if I make dramatic changes. Also family lives far away,

Besides I would rather lie to people that think its morally wrong to do steroids . Look at how many people still think their favorite athletes are "clean" and swear by it. And then when you see these massive and cut bodybuilders that people claim are the greatest natural bodybuilders of all time, of course you know it isn't true, but everyone else believes it cause they said it.

it's nobody's biz nor should u feel it a requirement to answer just cuz they asked....IMHO

**Razor** · 06-15-2012, 08:51 PM

Its funny its socially acceptable to go out and drink, get DUI's and poison yourself daily with alcohol but enhancing muscles...oooh your so bad...whatever

I think its becoming more socially acceptable. As much as I hate to admit it, shows like The Jersey Shore are encouraging more and more people to "enhance" muscles. It's still going to be one of those "let's not openly talk about" things until possession no longer is a felony.

**auswest** · 06-15-2012, 11:04 PM

I'm not exactly against drugs or drinking or anything like that, but cops don't just hand out DUIs for the fun of it. Those motherfvckers deserve to get arrested for that and they shouldn't ever get a license again. Drinking and driving hurt/kill people all the time and it's entirely preventable. It's unfortunate that it's become fashionable to get one, but people are fvcking idiots. If they stiffen the penalties for this and make the punishments more publically executed, it might deter some people.

Well hart you were right I lost some bf and don't feel as puffy

**Sgt. Hartman** · 06-16-2012, 01:46 PM

For me staying at 10% or less makes a huge difference. I've never felt too big or uncomfortable when BF is in check.

Thanks man. I realize now,keeping bf in checked just as important as gaining muscle

I'm lucky I guess I can gain weight on call or lose it. Minor tweaks in my diet allow me to do so

Yea but I the pics I took were 2 months apart. It didn't happen in 3 days, been a process plus I got the pics up

This thread was more about changes in life I noticed gaining weight not losing bf%

**Misery13** · 06-17-2012, 02:31 PM

I'm 5-6 and in December of 2009 I got up to 237lbs. Bf% unknown. I had a small gut but that's about it. Most everything was a pain to accomplish. Tying my shoes. Walking up stairs. Mrs.misery likes me that big. She's petite. I love it. Totally worth it.

**Armykid93** · 06-17-2012, 03:06 PM

Lol I read the beginning part of this thread and it scared me because my goal is to get to a very lean 230. I'm 5 8 and the biggest I've been was 210.

So that's why I always had more trouble than I thought I should doing anything that related to shoes lol no lie I could never figured out why it was such a pain to put them on. The muscle mass never occurred to me
