Trying to regain prior form

[beyonddriven]

Hey guys I havent been active on this this board for allmost 5 years. I sustained a torn labrum in 2006 and have had a rough go of it until about a year ago. Last January I was in the worst physical shape of my life. I finaly decided to stop making excuses and get at it with the intention of competing again. The pics I posted below are from November(back), De***ber(chest) and this January(legs) I am planning on doing a show this April without the use of any AS. Since i have been out of the game a long time I could use as much constructive criticism as possible. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and approximately a 193 pounds at the moment. By the time I step on stage I imagine I will weigh in the low 180's or so I am hoping. My last show I competed in the light heavy weight division at weighed in at 196lbs. I have lost around 12 pounds since the november pictures...been trying to lean down since then.

Wow man, you have some seriously impressive mass and a very well balanced physique. I'm curious though, when you say that you are planning on doing a show without the use of AS (Anabolic Steroids), do you mean that you don't want to use AAS during your precontest phase such as Winny, Anavar, Tren, etc.? I don't want to be presumptuous but I feel pretty confident that you've done a great job of utilizing bulking AAS. We just have so many people who falsely claim "natty".

No, you are right. I have prior experience with AS. I made the decision four years ago to discontinue use as I didnt feel it was appropriate to use if I wasn't totaly committed to running it the right way. Not to say I won't ever try it again just not for me at this time.
