Not sure what to do..training isn't fun anymore

[str8cubano79]

I'm getting married soon, I am as big as I have ever been. Haven't played basketball in a good 6 years, and at 225lbs, all this muscle is seriously hindering me. I played the other day and felt like dying. Sure it looks good, and I get nothing but compliments. My joints are on fire, not sure If i'll they'll ever be the same. Just comming off an anavar cycle, and stopped using test a while back due to hairloss. Long story longer, I can't do the things I used to do. I try to grab a rebound playing basketball, and since I have no neck, I throw my ****ing shoulder...(injury for a few days). I'm getting nasty forearm pains from lifting and pulling so much, Doctor says to stop lifting so heavy. I have a mentality when I go to the gym, to lift heavy, no pussy shit. I'm not going to go and lift high reps. I'm just not. Fear of muscle loss is terrible. So I am at a crossroad where I feel like maybe just quiting the gym, and do the things I used to do ( play baseball, basketball, swim...just for fun. ) Of course I don't want to loose 10 years woth of muscle, but at 27 years old, and don't plan to compete or live a bodybuilder's lifestyle anytime soon, I'm slowly reazling its either be good at one thing, or mediocore at everything.

I can't play sports like I used to, I am in constant pain from sore joints. If I stay at the gym, and keep getting bigger, in the future i'll probably just be in more pain. I don't know what to do

Some of you bros have advised me to use deca for sore joints...not sure if its any option due to fear of hairloss and not being able to take test with it. Its like one solution causes another problem....

[reppedout1]

hey bro i would try taking some glucosamine for your joints supposed to really help

sup bro you sound out dont be!! check this out if you love sports play sports but dont throw your hard work out the door this is what i would do if i were in your shoes. i dont know if you familiar with adequan but it is a drug not a AAS that can actually rebuild cartilage and strengthen your connective tissue. ( no shit ) take some of that for about 2 months and stretch so you can get your flex ability back do it for about 20min 3X/week. when you start the adequan take a week off its good for you every so often. just relax or play ball whatever!!. then when you go back just maintain strength for a week or so then soon you should feel better and be able to lift agian hard. you dont have to grow if you dont eat like a horse. and you can take this a few times a year for a month or two at a time. then if later you want to cycle something agian i can send you a link about body structure, this will tell you which AAS will actually strengthen and /or rebuild connective tissue or relieve joint pain and they are all relatively mild so you wont blow up...... just think about it bro!..... but what ever you do enjoy it !!! i know that its easy to enjoy what your good at but dont miss out on stuff you only live once.

Try HGH.

[oc pitbull]

take yoga, it will make you stronger and more flexible.

[SNUKA]

i heard of this stuf called Aflutops do a google search there is alot of info on it

[bigwillystyle]

if youre tired of being big and bulky try to get lean and ripped.
mabye trade a few days of heavy traing for some boxing or start going to the batting cages make it fun again.

sorry to hear about hte mariage thing..OH i mean conrgats!

[testosterona]

like said above, maybe just try and switch things up. cut down, get lean, flexible and concentrate on health. even if your stocky, you can still shoot hoops as long as your health is on track. about your joints, look into HGH at a low dose. i'm telling you, this will do wonders for connective tissues in your body as well as keep you lean/healthy/strong/and anabolic!

about the marrige thing...its ok....I know I know. Well I started playing ball 2X week and just the other day I ran a full court. Felt alive again, sure aching and sore as hell the next day. I will look into HGH...never liked the idea of gut injections or that fact that your gut grows on it, but I guess those are at high doses? either way, I won't give up the fight so easily. I have 10 years on me, 6 dedicated years, so I'll do what I can before I give up completely...

Yes there is more to life than muscle and weights....it was always what kept me going, if the spark isn't there anymore, I'll have to substitute it for something else..either way, I think we all need excercise one way or the other..

[Hellmaskbanned]

I think your exaggerating alittle...

If your 6ft. 225lbs and are in that out of shape were playing bball feels like your "dyeing"...I suggest you do more cardio.

And LMFAO at the no neck throwing shoulder out comment.

Your around the size of a running back....THey are still athletic/flexible/great cardio shape. Your far from being to big to do things.

Like others said....something ur doing needs changed.

[reppedout1]

hey bro i wouldn't give up on the liftin.you just might be out of shape cardio wise.u see someone who lifts a lot and is rather large could still be out of shape for running long sprints etc because they don't do enough of it. i would start doin somethin cardio wise you're body will get in better shape running wise and then your body won't be so sore when you play ball.hope this makes a lil sense

[LeadPencil]

my brother is 5foot 9" and about 210 he has worked out since 15y/o he is 28 and married with a kid. he does all this stuff you mentioned and he whips me around like a rag doll.(and he has a neck) it almost sounds like your trying to find excuses for this lifestyle at 6foot 225lbs thats not to terribly big and the no neck thing, i find that hard to believe with your stats man up!

I was thinking something very simliar. There are plenty of huge bro's in sports,mma etc that are awesome atheletes, and in top notch shape.

amen on the HGH ... i turn 50 this year, and have lifted my whole adult life ... started thinking a couple of years ago i was going to have to quit lifting, because i felt like crap the rest of the day after working out, achy joints all over ... started hgh last year, at low doses 2-3IUs 6/1 and it's changed my life ... not quite pain-free, but feels something like 60-70 per cent reduction in overall daily pain ... motivation and vitality has gone way up too ...

[MuscleScience]

maybe its the fact that you havent played basketball in 6 years and thats why you cant play anymore.

[kynetguy]

I am 5'9.75" and 221lbs. (turns neck side to side)

My neck is perfectly functional.

Unless you have toothpick legs and only do an arm/shoulder/trap routine. . .you should have a neck.

So you also suffer from ILS? j/k

[kynetguy]

Oh . . . I must tell you what my chiropractor told me after I tweaked my back last fall playing softball. . . .

"When are you going to realize you aren't a kid anymore and stop this stuff?"

I am not THAT much older than you. . .

I think its 6 years of weight training in the absence of cardio and flexibility training.

[str8cubano79]

You guys are right on the cardio. I do moderate intensity cardio, not sprinting suicide drills cardio. I am not trying out for the Miami Dolphins, so I normally don't feel the need to push myself at 5am to do sprints. Yes, it has been 6 years since I have played basketball, and I need to build the endurance once again. I agree that I need to change my routine up so I can do the things I used to do, but regardless of wether I am able to or not, it just seems more and more difficult. The soreness I am complaing about is my forearms feel like is if my arms are broken. THat is the pain I expereince when I am pulling the weight I am pulling. This is probably also due to the fact that the only anabolic I take is anavar, at 80mgs. I won't try test again due to hariloss, and I know anavar is hard on the joints...

You wont lose hair with nandrolone
