Not to flame on you bro but..in 2005 I had a colon cancer scare and had to have the ENTIRE colon removed. The mass they found was in the exact location of where my grandmother and father had their tumors. they both died from their disease. I was in the hospital for 28 days and lost 30lbs. My cycle useage saved my life. Had I not been in good shape I am certain I would have died. Then in 2007 I was diagnosed with Graves disease and was treated with I131 to kill my thyroid. 6 weeks post I131 treatment I had a spontaneous K+ dump and was paralyzed from the waist down. I went to the ER and my K+ was 1.6. If your K+ is lower than 2.0 you die. I was in the ICU for 2 days and began walking after my K+ rose above 3.0. Two months after that I was diagnosed with Graves Opthalmia and had bi-lateral orbital decompression surgeries and lost 10% vision in my left eye. Currently I have been diagnosed with a severe vitamin D Deficiency. My endocriniologist has me on 50K iu of prescription vitamin D twice a week. Yes 50,000iu twice a week.
So let this story be a lesson to you and those who bash others because they have completed multiple cycles of gear and they aren't a monster. Although I admire everyone who puts in hours and hours in the gym to be as big as they can be, my goals are very different. I want size that can be noticable and continue to monitor my diet and exercise.
