Ok...then please tell me this...prior to doing any steriods, I was 190 pounds (natural) in 1994.
I did numerous steriod cycles and off and on and in 2003 I stopped completely.... After being natural for a number of years and training for my first show.....why did my body revert to being only 192 pounds? If I had kept all my steriod gains....dont you think my body would have been over 200 pounds or over 210 pounds or maybe over 220 pounds? Why did my body go down to around the bodyweight (190 pounds) I had before i ever touched a steriod?

Training for this contest was very hard. it took a lot of sacrifice and allienating a lot of my friends because I couldnt really go out much or go out to eat with them not to mention being in the gym all the time because you have to do cardio morning and night... for the pro and ametuers traning for contests, I can undertsand the sacrifices it takes....thank God I dont have a girlfriend or have any kids because that relationship would have been ruined because I focused so much on this training.
Forka, do you have a family? How do they feel about your bodybuilding lifestyle? My last girlfriend couldnt understand why I was in the gym for 2 hours and it caused strain on our relationship. It was so hard balancing a relationship and working out that it tore us apart....
Well, I guess I stopped steriods because I had a bad experience when I got off...Ill be very candid and honest but I remember when there was a time when it completely detroyed my libido and couldnt get it up no matter how gorgeous the woman was. It took months to get it back and it could lead to disorders of the mind which can affect you to this day........another reason too is the military, they do test for reecreational drug use but a steriod test has to be commander directed. I remember at one point in 2003, I went to a function where they had tug of war and i was wearing a tank top. There were a few people yelling out loud that I should be tested and everybody just looked at me, I was quiet for awhile not knowing what was going to happen the next day...cause if they did test you for steriods and you are positive, you could be dishonorably discharged or you can go to jail..believe it or not...there were some cadets at the Air Force Academy who took andro (pro hormones) and was sent to jail for something so little and adro!!!! So this was one of the reasons. Another one was an ex girlfriend didnt like me doing it because it was illegal. It caused a lot of stress on our relationship...I was never violent..I was pretty much the same old person...just bigger...she compared a steriod user the same as a drug addict....she made both of them synonymous with each other...
Ill be honest, I mean I loved the strength anabolics gave me and the recovery time and it does screw with your mind when you come off especially when you are losing your strength and are getting smaller. I got better results from anabolics then I did with supplements promising you steriod like gains (muscletech). Anabolics were much more cost effective then any Muscletech, EAS, ect! And they worked too!!
Who is to say that a person will use or never use again? We all have goals...its a personal choice...
No man, I'm not married, and I do not have any children. Although, I hope to, one day when I'm ready. My concern at the moment is graduating.
I'm 29, and like an idiot, I still have physical aspirations. The problem is, I don't have much time. I have tried everything, I have really put it all on the line…But I can't manage my program if I don't commit myself 100%. So school takes a precedence, but only for a few more months, then its finally over. At the moment, I have a lot of pressure on me, and being the emotional eater, I tend to eat when I probably shouldn't, and then I skip meals when I KNOW I shouldn't. I am not fat, but I'm certainly not ripped either. Your story is far more reaching then most, and I think its pretty amazing what you did. Although I must say, if you don't mind me saying, I find it a bit disappointing that your relationship had prematurely ended because of your commitment to the game of iron. I mean, that's a bit extreme, wouldn't you agree? I really do appreciate your honesty here, and I really do hope you're are a true natural. It would really be a shame if you're not telling the truth.
On another note, you said permanent mental side-effects? What do you mean by this? And as far your libido, what about PCT? Did you follow a proper protocol?
As for Sevastase, you seem like a decent guy man, but some of the stuff you post is a little bit odd. Your back double bicep shot… I say this with all respect man, it’s a bit….strange. You shouldn't post shit like that on web, let alone getbig.
