Do you regret taking gear?

Is there anything you regret about taking gear ?

**bigreb** · 05-26-2002, 12:55 AM

Just the muscles, more self confidence, the raging libido, and the hot blonde that flirted with me all night at the party. LOL

BTW, for the record, the only part I remotely regret is that I can't seem to stop!!!

Anyone... I have heard people express their bad experiences on the board before.

I think people on most boards glorify gear and dont tell both sides of the story. But you have to take the good with the bad.

I think I got anxiety off of gear - test / arimidex / dbol / winny cycle. Really strange, I'm usually very confident, but after my cycle I found myself to get very anxious in situations where I'd have to give a presentation or do a one on one talk... it is definitely subsiding as I am 14+ weeks post cycle, but it was terribly bothersome at school. The self confidence from changing my body more than makes up for it in my opinion though. Nothing I would get xanax or prozac for, but still, annoying.

it's a very hard lifestyle, high stress.

if steroids dont kill us in the end, it's probably the stress IMO

once you start, you cant stop

**broncojosh** · 05-26-2002, 09:40 AM

I heard that JMD! The funniest thing I read is...I'm only going to do one cycle...

**JMD** · 05-26-2002, 10:17 AM

lol.. i said that once before as well

**broncojosh** · 05-26-2002, 10:51 AM

so did I, that's why it's so funny...

**TheDfromGC** · 05-26-2002, 11:07 AM

so u guys saying that pretty much nobody ever does just one cycle??

**JMD** · 05-26-2002, 01:27 PM

all the pple i have encountered started off planning on doing 1 cycle to make a few gains, and then once they seen what it did for them, they were planning for future ones

**dankduke** · 05-26-2002, 01:58 PM

i personally plan on 2 but propbably 3...i dont think its my thing to do for many many years but i dunno just starting my 2nd one ina couple of weeks...

**hitmeoff** · 05-26-2002, 03:29 PM

I havent started on my first, thought I'll be startng in a few weeks.

Im already planning a cutting cycle, but it wont involve much gear (just 300mg of EQ and 50mg Winny).

I plan to do 2 more bulking cycles, and maybe 1 one cutting. But Im pretty sure thats all.

Then again, Ive ALWAYS have had an addictive personality!

**beelzebub** · 05-26-2002, 04:05 PM

Yes i feel i have cheated my self............IE i always felt good if people said "hey buddy you look massive"And i can turn around and say its all natural.(I like to be big and healthy not big and worried about what AS is doing to me)

**popeyethasailah** · 05-26-2002, 05:38 PM

i dont know if i regret the AS, but i started lifting young, 13 years old... i regret that because i tihnk it may have stunted my growth. im not a dwarf or anything, but i would have liked to have been 6' rather than 5'9". nothing to cry over, but i should have waited till i was atleast 16 i think.

**marx** · 05-26-2002, 05:53 PM

I actually regret starting to lift so late. I wish i started around 16 like you said popeyethasailah, i didn't start till i was 20 and now i'm kicking myself, but not much i can do about it now...

And i once said i would only do one cycle, but that never seems to work. It's like when i said i would be happy once i hit 200lbs at 8%. And now since i just passed that, the bar has been raised..lol...i don't think i'll ever be happy...

I don't think i have any regrets about taking AS. If i had to make the choice again, i would still make the decisioin to juice. Maybe change my first cycle..lol..but not the decision to make the plunge...

**str82hellnback** · 05-26-2002, 05:57 PM

haha,every one says," just one cycle", well fuck that,this shit is like lays, once you pop you can't stop. I once said i will do just one little five week cycle,then my motto "get big or die trying" came to light,and trust me,that is not an understatement

I didn't start lifting till I was almost 20 also.

I agree abou t raising the bar... when is enough enough? Most likely NEVER.

Peace!
