props to u howard for being honest and having the courage to type up your story and post here on this sesspool

i hope to someday share my similar story about steroids and my reason for being natural

take care

Thanks and I think more should hear that while you need some juice to be a pro, you don't need it to build a decent healthy physique and enjoy the sport on your own terms.

It was 21yrs and 2 months ago that I stopped useing the juice. I spent 3 years ('85-87) on moderate cycles in a lame,delusional quest for a pro bodybuilding  card. My stopping the juice had little to do with health or legal concerns. It was a very practical reason. I began to feel that I was trapped in an endless cycle of endless drug cycles. I reasoned that even if I won a national show and turned pro, I was never going to be a top 10 Olympia pro, no matter what I took. I didn't see a viable future , only a life of meager means and ending up as a BUM. No, it didn't have to end like that. I am sure that plenty of top bodybuilders have productive happy lives. It was at this time I stopped trying to be a top bodybuilder and just enjoy the sport on my terms. Now, over 2 decades later, I am happy with my decision with no regrets.

Despite my experience I think some hardcore guy can do a cycle and ramp up his training with few ill effects. It is all a matter of balance and good sense. Today, I use prescribed Androgel and enjoy good  health at age 50. If you see your own life going downhill over continued 'roid use , sit back , think and then regroup.You can still train and be a part of the iron game without having to be on endless cycles.

It is once you realize the underlying motivation to juice in the first place.
Most of us just want to push our own limits and look impressive, etc.
If you can get content with the idea of doing things to your own standard and ideals it gets easier to stop doing the juice.

Maybe he should've upped the dosage, trained harder and ate more. He probably would've liked the juice then.

Good point Quaker. Maybe he was scaring off women because of the violent amount of mass he was carrying... all 180 pounds of it.

BTW, what is your favorite flavor of Quaker Oats?
