So I'm making one hell of a decision! what do you think?

[mani_bono]

Age: 27
Weight: 188 lbs
Height: 5' 8"
BF: around 10%
Cycle Experience: 2 low dose cycles currently in the middle of third cycle ( 100mg propionate EOD + 20mg dbol )

OK I need you guys to say what do you think about the decision I made!

being in love with bodybuilding from 16, I want to get ready for my first national show in February. after lots of research in this forum I figured that Ronnie Rowland's Slingshot System is the best way to go If you want to compete in national level and higher levels ...

but it's practically is being on AAS 365 days/year (I guess 2 weeks deloads are not much rest for body). I have still time to rethink things because I'm on my first reload of Slingshot system.

I kind of thinking it's like deciding to be on TRT for rest of my life unless I'm very lucky to be able to recover after long term use (or abuse) of AAS. also Is there any possibility to become infertile? any more serious health problem to think about? Pros doing it for like 15 to 30 years on that level so it must be possible to do it in a relatively safe/healthy way, right?

what else I should consider before committing to this decision? any comment and analysis is appreciated.

I'd say if you think this is something you want to do for a long time, and make a career out of it, then do it. I'm sure you'll get hated on for asking this question but who cares. And of coarse there are tons of risks to go along with this decision, so if its worth it to you then go for it. Also, a lot of those guys have doctors helping them and directiing them with their gear. They know 100 percent down to the core what their doing.

I think only you can make this decision but unless you want to become a pro bodybuilder you need to think long and hard about this decision. You are more than likely going to be on TRT for the rest of your life if you stay on for years at a time.

Infertility is definitely possible.

Most of us are going to end up on trt at some point, so what. There are thousands of people that have never cycled and in their old age they need trt.

Your not going to have to stay on everything year around, just run a maintenance dose of test when not bulking or contest prep. You need to get on all the stuff to help your body stay healthy, liver protection supps, coq10 for cholesterole, fish oils. Find what is working for your body, get blood work done everyonce in awhile to make sure your ok.

Have you already qualified to compete in a national show? Your not doing nationals this year are you, its in november?

you say this as if its only the gear that matters, if it was that easy we'd all be pro's.

up to you OP but think long and hard, you might reach a point when you get fed up with weights or you could get injured badly enough to prevent you going to the gym

Very ture.

Backed. Totally agree.

yeah I thought about that, that's the scariest part getting injured badly or worse hitting some kind of health problem in the middle of the way (kidney, liver, heart, ...) and not being able to continue so getting screwed from both sides!

yeah but being on trt in 40s is a little diffrent with being on trt from 27 ...

maybe I pointed out badly I meant my country championship show not NPC or anything .. that's not the important part anyway ...
