I'm 53 and I do not compete... It is a lifestyle dictated by nutrition and understanding how to train more then the drugs themselves...
Looking great ergo.  :)

No not the finishing touch... They are instrumental in achieving size and conditioning. Without the drugs you will never be a Power House...Never. The drugs will take you far, but only so far... To maximize there usage by continuing to gain genetically requires an understanding of nutrition and training...Charles Glass, FST 7, Mountain Dog Training, DC, YT3 all bullshit training using superior subjects... High volume using totally unnecessary training routines touted to make there designer important not to maximize "your potential What is required is HEVT High Efficiency Variable Training employing High Intensity techniques using low volume... Training correctly while juicing share an equal value in maximizing size... It does not take years....

Like in most training videos, you see them doing lots of warmup sets ramping up in weight each set to do maybe only 1 working set to near failure, sometimes 2. I don't get it? I don't see how that's training hard.

If he was able to fit in and use the original nautilus seated upright triceps extension machine he was narrow. I'm leaving Chicago as I write this and while here I trained at Quads and Dave had one. I could not squeeze my frame in it not even close... Great great body builder non the less and one of my favorites

Attention whores. That's really what it all comes down to. I seen a tier 5 pro at my gym train arms 5 days in a row because the gym was crowed and his arms are his best bodypart. This is the type of shit a 16 year old kid would do. Yet this guy is pushing 40...He walks from machine to machine carrying a duffel bag by his side and flexes his arm as tight as possible while holding the bag down to his side. The dude belongs in padded room...

Max O T training has great merit... Following the 1st law of hypertrophy "to move maximum weight for a desired rep range" The 4 rep range utilizing max effort can be superior as a first inline set utilizing a chosen compound movement for certain large muscle groups... Chest, shoulders, back...

I did compete in the NPC 1986-96 Southern CA. area. 201-5 pounds was the best weight I could obtain due to faulty training standards bred by magazine sensationalism modeled after the Pro's. I'm 242 in the am in that pic around 7.5-8%. At 228 4% and 53 years old gluteus are completly striated etc... You would fall on the floor if you see me in gym. At this point I carry a Pro Masters physique and can vary my weight from 225-260 all within 12 weeks. I do not like the huge look anymore 260 plus it is very difficult that weight on my knees and back. I keep a decent size and low body fat which gives me Alpha Boss status at 53 wherever I train. The drugs have always been around. What propelled me up in to Boss status was the addition of 30+ pounds of muscle from the age of 48-52 this was acquired from understanding correct training logic and the addition of quality hgh coupled with year round nutrition no off season so to speak. I take great enjoyment at this juncture in my life to walk around in the upper . 001% of all 50+ year old males on the Planet... How you train was the breakthrough point on my development and I feel cheated and robbed by falling for magazine sensationalism and Weider propaganda dished out by his contracted athletes... Many many years wasted...

Look good. There was a scientific study done in 2013 that indicated a link between people who wore Gasp apparel and people who took multiple grams of male hormones a week. Its seems that these two factors are heavily connected. And that many of the people who wore Gasp apparel got angry and spouted the line "drugs are just the finishing touch"...

I have over 600 real training videos of how I did it on YouTube my channel is ryan ergo. I own a gym and I collect rare efficient machines. I have over 200 machines in my gym and garages and storage. Many videos are film from when I travel at various Gyms. Many are from my private garage collection and many at my facility... If you wish to understand my theories better watch and read my captions on videos...

They are her shorts.. 2 AD daily... 8-12 iu's sero's. 500mg test e EOD, and 100mg ace ED, 60mg (6 x 10mg) Anavar ED...

Is that long term? Im on 600mg test a week and my bloods are probably super fucked up. Im early 30s too.

Thanks for being honest but sounds deadly. Id imagine your ona slew of anti e too.

How did u make your money to have so much free time/money for gym, drug, bb clothes, taking pics in your undies obsession?

Anastrolozole (sp?)  1 tab every 3 days.... retired several careers... internet boom in the 90's Yes I'm OCD :D Don't assume you are fucked up at all from 600mg test... I just had comprehensive bloods completed as I have a private sports physician in San Fran... ast/alt skewed but not high enough to consider Ultra sound, which I have had several and no issues. Didn't even test for hep as an inexperience Doc would do. Kidneys perfect. Cholesterol disheveled again not enough to warrant medication... increased hematocrit but in range upper. Prolactin elevated from tren and yes tren elevates prolactin caber or promo can pull that down... Thyroid estrogen etc... good. This is 25 years of use...
