In two years off my strenght is still more or less like it was when I was on. My body weight goes between 245-260+lbs depending on where my martial arts is taking me. The only thing I miss is the pumps you get in the gym while 'on'. Since I'm in the military and over 35 I have regular medicals, including blood work which involves LFT's and KFT's to check my liver and kidney functions. Their all fine. My dick is completely happy, and I'm completely happy with IT. I don't suffer mood swings or any form of depression, neither while on or off.
My of my cycles included Deca, Dball, Testo, Fina, Winny and Primo. When I'd be dieting I'd also use EQ, Ephedrine and Clenbuterol. I've never used Insulin or GH. And I'm completely satisfied that the gains I've made in those 15+ yrs using could never have been achieved had I been natural and leading the stressfull (workwise) life style I've led. So my advise really is to look at steroid use as a long term thing, and be cautious.
Without going into too much detail about my discontinuence, I've a very hot temper and something happen one night to make me stop using. I'm not sure if it would have happened anyhow, but it was serious enough for me to consider ceasing my steroid use. I can't say I'm happier off them, but I'll never use them again.
Hope that answered some of your questions. Incase your wondering
Experience with steroids 15+ years.
Weight training and martial arts experience 20+ yrs.
I'm 38 yrs old and current weight is approx 245lbs and pretty lean.
Still lifting at least 4 days per week, kickboxing and Judo twice weekly and still not over training.
Good question and I hope I've been some help. Pity more newbies would ask the same question. If you have anymore questions fire away either here or PM if I can help.
I should add at this stage. This is purely MY personal experience, I'm an individual and most likely the same circumstances won't apply to you, or the majority of people here.
