24 years ago yesterday I was 20, less than half of this Old age man now LMAO Hadn't even seen a real steroid at this point still and simply viewed them as cheating anyway Lol I remember the exact day, went up to my pals who was about 30. We were due to have a big Tekken 2 session and he said 'Have you seen they've taken out one of the Twin Towers in the US? I knew what they looked like from the News but had no real clue of the relevance of the Towers during that point in my life. We sat down watching this quite surreal image on the TV of the first one burning when after about 5 minutes all of a sudden the other plain flew into picture and went through the top of the other tower!!! One of those moments in life where you just froze and said WTF?? I remember these events as being the first things we all saw as acts of Terrorism that REALLY, really shocked us - like nothing you had ever seen before or even imagined would happen. Its because it was so unimaginably evil that they got away with doing it really, since then unfortunately the world has seen many of these types of events unfold and nothing shocks us anymore.

There were many scenarios in those atrocities where I simply couldn't get my head around how those individuals must have felt just before the events took place - People sat at their desks in the towers seeing a Jet flying straight at the window in front of them, people trapped dying for days in all the rubble, people onboard United 93 where they fought the hijackers only for it to hit the ground in the end, people on the street near the towers when they crumbled down and hit them. Worst part of it all is the lunatics that thought killing 3000 plus people was their pathway to living a better 'afterlife'. Still now 24 years later what has really got better about it all, shortly after this we had all of the London Bombings where they were going round planting bombs in the buses and subway stations.

I was in school this day in Westhampton. Got picked early. I was 17. I was working out and had been for wrestling. It was 2 years later though at 19 i did my first cycle of test e. Mexican vet shit. It was fucking fire!!! Felt like a God. I been looking for that feeling again ever since.

24 years ago I was drinking and partying. Got some oral steroids from a bouncer at the club I was working at and chickened out of taking them. Hadn’t lifted any weights and knew nothing about steroids (clearly)! Was another 8 years until I started training and put on 50% bodyweight in a year on protein powder and creatine. 9 years later ran test for first time and pct after losing all gains made on cycle. Didn’t start blasting and cruising until last year.
Regarding 911 I was on holiday in SE Asia and came back late at night to the hotel with everyone sat outside watching it by the pool, we thought it was Independence Day or something similar until the horrific truth of it became apparent. Heart goes out to all of you who this was far closer to home than me.

24 years ago I was a young buck collecting bodybuilding magazines and looking up to strongmen. I started lifting weights when my older brother and friends made the little guys join the group and lift weights. I wanted size but power too being that sports was important to me. Didn't use gear until well after I had good strength and a bit of size. At that time I had good strength for my age more so than size. And about 911, I remember watching it on live TV. I remember it just like it happened yesterday. I was shocked to see what I saw just like anyone else

Yeah 12 year old me was ripped af. Blastin a gram of test right before first period.

I was throwing Grenades and the drill instructor cut training short, brought us all in the common space and told us we been attacked and prepare for war.

I sat around for 3 months waiting, until I wasn’t waiting anymore.

I remember it clear as day , I was 21 released from prison that days I had done a few months for a minor assault and public order offence. At the time me and the mrs had a couple of sunbed shops and we solid supplements from them to pre workouts and protein powders ect. Couple of my buddies picked me up and we went to one of my shops where my wife was working that day .. walked in and there’s about 5 birds gathered by the counter watching the tv on the wall. They said omg look at this a planes crashed into a building in America I rember looking up at the tower smoking away on the screen and just as I looked the tv station planned to the other tower as another plane flew into it. Horrible day for the world but must of been million times worse for you Americans.
I was already a big kid at 21 and not as clued up as now , I was taking sustanon 250 1 ml Amos organon I think and them 2 ml deca Norma vials Helios or something like that they were … also either the Thia British dispensary anabol 5mg dbol or the body research blue hearts 10mg dbol at that time that was mostly what we all took

I fresh out of trade school and at my first job. We saw the news coverage from office TV of NY. It was surreal. Still today
To imagine the amount of
People impacted is sorrowful. RIP to all lives takes that day.

This was a great post @ChuckThaDuck22! I was not using gear then , but was lifting. I hope the responses come from the guys that were using then.

I'm from the area myself and actually watched the second plane hit the second tower in disbelief from my rooftop. I was 26 years old at the time and in my prime. I wasn't using AAS as we know it but I was hitting the GNC for that Andro when it was still on the shelf. Older guys on here remember! Copping pro hormones straight out the GNC. It was definitely better times than we see today, but I can't say that at that time, that I didn't see it coming. As in the way the world is today. The signs were there.
Anyhow, I'll never forget that day! The vision of what I saw standing on my rooftop is forever burned in my brain. Lost alot of good ppl that day that I knew personally. Friends, family of friends... These days I try not to even think about it. Good topic though Chuck!!!

I was in fourth grade. There was a girl in my class whose dad was supposed to pilot one of the planes. (I lived near Logan airport, where they took off from) she got pulled out of class and sent home. Turns out he woke up late and a replacement pilot flew his plane for him and was one of the crashed planes. Always suspicious when i hear about how many meetings and shit were cancelled that day and how many super important people decided to call out that day.
Now that I’m older and know more about it, I’d love to ask her about that day and if her dad was like an Important or if she felt like he was tipped off, or just the luckiest man in the world, I guess he never missed a flight his whole life until that day.
