Bruh, I train 7 days a week natty and I don't have what it takes to do the whole enhanced lifter thing properly. You literally need to make money off of your body or have a trust fund to do that shyt.

Not just that - you need to have very specific genetics to actually succeed at it.

That's what I was saying previously. Even on blast and cruise it's not like you take gear and just explode for years on end. You grow and then stall. Sometimes you need to train for years in between to get huge again through a growth phase, etc.

Some people just blow up on gear and turn out to be aesthetic af - the thing is most people are not like this. Some get zero results.

juicing gives uglies a chance at life

it does nothing for handsome men and probably detrimental

Christian Guzman is a good example of this

if it's so underwhelming, why do so many miscers swear by it even with the risk of shutting down ur testicles?

They don't - this isn't a steroid forum. Go to the steroid forums and ask them if it's that simple. Taking one drug and then getting a side effect, then another ot counter that side effect, etc.

People talk about it like "oh yeah I'll just take some tren and blow up" and then they take iit and get all sorts of sides and still look nothing like their fave influencer.

Everything he said was fax. HRT and TRT is only needed when you're actually low on T. Otherwise it's a burden. And if you take more than HRT done that's playing with fire.

well depends what they take and how they react to it

I said first cycle which is typically 500mg of test. scale will go up about 20 pounds, 5 - 10 of which is maybe lean tissue and thats me being generous

dont get me wrong steroids work, but ronnie coleman naturally will always look better than me blasting grams of gear

tren by far is the most ovverated compound of them all

i love when 150 pound twinks talk about taking tren not knowing it doesnt "blow you up" at all and is much better suited for other things

yea i might want more kids soon, and yeah i know people have had kids while blasting, if theres even a 0.0001% chance that they could fuk up my balls ability to make healthy kids then i dont want it.


plus also the long terms effects of screwing with your blood pressure lipids liver/kidney function etc etc. im not trying to die before i see my grandkids just so i can have some more gains. im not a bodybuilder, lifting is just a hobby at the end of the day.


maybe like medium dose test when i get older sure. like an actual trt dose but obv higher.

TBH if I was going to cycle, I'd probably do 250-300 mg of test and not even 500. Also some GH in there before and after the test - whether pharma grade or peptides. I'd rather make use of the PEDs enhanced recovery than just brute force gains with high doses of PEDS. I've been training clean for 10 years now and TBH sometimes the best gains are those over the long term that come from hard work. Even when you so a cycle, most of it isn't even muscle, it's just bloat. Very hard to put on quality muscle, even with gear.

The thing about gear though is it gives you a certain look. 220 pounds on gear isn't that same as 220 pounds natty. Then you get off of the gear and the enhanced look goes away. I am 250 lbs now. If I took gear and cut to 220, i would look twice as big.

Yeah but they also measured strength increases in squat and bench press for all groups. I wanna know what the strenght increase in the group that lifted without roids was. I could be retarded and just missing it though.

Here you go, I found the link to the full study
link:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.105...43350101#sec-2

MUSCLE STRENGTH
Muscle strength in the bench-press and the squatting exercises did not change significantly over the 10-week period in the group assigned to placebo with no exercise.

The men in the testosterone-alone and placebo-plus-exercise groups had significant increases in the one-repetition maximal weights lifted in the squatting exercises, averaging 19 percent and 21 percent, respectively (Table 4 and Figure 1).

Similarly, mean bench-press strength increased in these two groups by 10 percent and 11 percent, respectively.

In the testosterone-plus-exercise group, the increase in muscle strength in the squatting exercise (38 percent) was greater than that in any other group, as was the increase in bench-press strength (22 percent).

Intesting. Kinda crazy that even strength increased about the same without even practicing the lifts.
