you loo good there man. and it was because you were a strong beast, not because you were loaded on drugs. do long warm ups, light weight cool downs, and lots of stretching with some mild cardio too in order to keep your joints lubed and injury free. moderate weights work ok, like you already know, but the body is forced to respon when its lifting a heavier weight than whats its used to.
btw, props on being completely honest all the time.
nah... trust me bro, it was because i was loaded on the juice. as i said before, i spent 4 years training as heavy as possible... I usually go really high on the anabolics, GH and slin right before I go on vacation (4-6 weeks)... I usually come off of everything for 2-3 months after the vacation, so i just make sure i'm cleaning house before i leave

... that's when i usually see the gains. training and diet don't change... strength is usually the same... but weight starts shooting up and so does size.
the reason i had all those injuries was becuase i tried forcing myself to get strong... you don't force yourself to get stronger, you naturally get stronger with more gear...
and i don't jump immediately on working sets... let's say i'll do a 315 lbs bench...
warm up sets will be like this
20 reps on an empty bar
15 reps with 95 lbs
10 reps with 135 lbs
7 reps with 185 lbs
5 reps with 225 lbs
3 reps with 275 lbs
then i start my working sets to failure
and so on for each exercise... i stretch after i'm done with a muscle...
again, when you train the same way for 4 years, and you diet almost the same way... and you only see changes when you increase or decrease the gear... you know it's the gear.
also, over 10 iu of GH eod, or ed with a lot of slin for 4-6 weeks does wonders.... WONDERS!!! expensive as fuck (i only get my hands on some HG growth... never buy that chinese crap).
look... here's a pic at my heaviest... 220 lbs... i got to my heaviest because i spent 4 weeks on 2 grams of test and 100 mg dbol 5 days per week... I could've gotten stronger if i wanted, but i didn't change my weights... arms were very close to 19 inches here (usually they're between 17.75 and 18)... training low volume, but not increasing weights... if i did, i probably would've gotten injured big time. you grow from gear, not weights (well, you know what i mean

)
