How I improved as a man on a cycle

[rippedrich]

Firstly, and notably, the cycle had a remarkable impact on my emotional state. Rather than succumbing to the infamous 'roid rage' stereotype often associated with steroid use, I found myself becoming markedly calmer. This newfound tranquility reflected itself in my interactions with my wife. I began communicating with a heightened level of respect, listening more attentively, and intriguingly, I discovered an enhanced ability to articulate my thoughts coherently.

Secondly, I took my commitment to the steroid cycle seriously, which led to a significant decision in my life: giving up alcohol. Even though my cycle has concluded, my abstinence from alcohol persists. I continued to attend social functions and opted for non-alcoholic beer, a choice that often went unnoticed by those around me. These evenings out no longer concluded with indulging in greasy food, and despite potential sleep disruptions from late nights, I still managed to maintain my workout routine in the mornings.

Devoting a dedicated 3-hour window for exercise (travel time, weight lifting, cardio, sauna, showering, getting ready for work) five times a week made me schedule my day more precisely. It allowed me to allocate substantial, high-quality time to my children - no phones, no distractions. Their enthusiasm for my fitness journey became evident as they cheered me on during workouts, even participating in exercises like push-ups on my back. With three children under the age of 8, they have a knack for boosting their father's ego.

The cycle also had an unexpected impact on my interactions with the opposite sex. I noticed an increase in attention from women, which undeniably provided an ego boost. This led me to ponder whether this aspect, the way steroids make you feel, is what leads some individuals down the path of addiction. I had previously associated steroid addiction with body dysmorphia, but this experience has broadened my perspective.

In conclusion, I wanted to share my transformative journey, which is currently in the post-cycle therapy (PCT) phase. I still feel remarkably good, and I sincerely hope that the gains in both physique and emotional well-being that I have experienced will remain a permanent and positive part of my life.

It's awesome to hear the results go past just the physical aspect. And to hear that you were able to quit alcohol is another positive. Like you said, hopefully these lifestyle changes persist.

If you are still within 1 month of taking your last shot, you probably still have some exogenous testosterone in your body (assuming you took long esters). That said, you may have yet to go through the lull, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be online. After 4 years of being on (mostly TRT with a few cycles here and there), I didn't feel really terrible or anything, but just that lack of physical and sexual drive made me feel more comfortable doing nothing.

If I were you, I would start a creatine cycle for 6 weeks and take 5 grams every day and post-workout on workout days. It really is scientifically proven to increase ATP (energy) stores in cells, and increase muscle volume and strength. Good luck!

Its good to hear that you saw improvements, on-cycle I think you do. Its been a very long time since I took anything however when I did I remember the great feeling while on cycle, the confidence, the I can do anything attitude however it was post cycle maybe 4 weeks after the last dose that I felt the negatives. It was almost like the high that I had on cycle, I had the opposite low off cycle. It can all be managed however it is tough.
