I recently let my kid brother in on my little secret of using synthetics. He's 28 and even smaller framed than I. He has seen some before and afters and seen my gains and he is super interested he has always worked his ass off in the gym too. So he asks me for a basic source and cycle and believe me when I say I do not consider myself a guru on any of it. I know what's worked for me and I have some understanding on my personal expectations.
With all this being said and being a new user to this site I thought I would pose 3 questions for the guy flirting with the idea of diving in the anabolic pool.
No.1 do you think you have honest to God topped out natty. That means are you the strongest/heaviest with the lowest bf% you have ever been and think you will ever be. See it is my opinion that drugs aren't a quick fix. Your not going to "pin" some "juice" and look like Calum Von Moger in 15 weeks go fuck yourself. I can't speak for anyone but myself but I've been trying to get gains since I was old enough to get them. WWF styles I was into that Saturday mornings back in the day and then through the stone cold era, lick me where I stink if you hate on it.
My point is bodybuilding is a lifestyle here is question no.2 what is your level of commitment to your fitness? Are you the guy who's line is "I've been lifting hard for 2 years and I'm thinking about running a cycle" once again go fuck yourself. You have to educate yourself understand how the process works of actually building muscle tissue.
So here is no.3 and thus one is from my own personal experiences. Are you stable enough. Are you an ass hole who Flys off the handle for nothing as it is? What's your self-esteem like self confidence all that self awareness that really important to be productive in society. Because if any of that is in question I want to warn you right now that during and after cycle that those unstable feeling are going to rear their ugly head almost always coming off for me.
With all that being said if you can honestly answer those question and have a positive reflection of yourself with the answers then I think that you can probably give it a run. I hope this helps those contemplating the idea prematurely.
