Keeping Gains

[calstate23]

I've been thinking about this topic for awhile tonight (and wondering for quite some time how I would express my concerns but this seems a good place for it). Good topic by the way!

Like so many people who lift I neglected my legs. I know I am not the only one because I see it every time I go to the gym. My upper body is doing ok but it still has room to grow to be sure. Add to that I'm over 50 and it's easy to see time is NOT on my side any more. Cycling for me will be somewhat of a shortcut (by that I mean I doubt I will be as close to my genetic potential as I probably should be) to try and get as close to my genetic potential as reasonablyquick as possible. BUT! My legs are lagging for sure and will be for quite some time to come so... when I run my first cycle do my legs get to "come along for the ride" or will I cause an even greater disparity between them and my upper body?

I've have reached the critical sub 15% bf goal (and then some) for cycling (which I knew was a must) but I must admit I doubt I am near my natural limit. I'd guess somewhere around 75-80% at best. Would I be doing myself a diservice by cycling very late this year or early next year given my current condition? I must admit to being somewhat impatient but again, time is no longer an ally for me (not that I am ready for the old folks home just yet, lol). I don't currently have any desire to go beyond my potential but would not mind getting there quicker. Here is where I envision myself being completely satisfied with my body; 190-200 pounds at 10% bf. I am currently sitting at 177 pounds and 13.5% bf so this would require me adding ~22 pounds of lbm. Bottom line - am I ready to cycle?

Steroids only improve what you have...

Hmm...This might sound a little weird but....Imagine a flower with 6 perfectly shaped petals that are blue....If you "so-called" gave it steroids the shape would not change...They would just be bigger and the color gets brighter...

It won't lose it shape, it won't lose it's color...Just makes it a little bit better...It won't turn it into something different...Still have the same shape, still have 6 petals and still be blue....

And this is why the low bf% comes into play before steroid use...You want proportion, shape, and definition because you are just going to turn out what you look like before but bigger and with little bit more detail...

And bitch tits! We don't want those at all. lol. I already got the puffy nips from puberty and don't need the rest to go with them. lol.
