Matt, how on earth are you going to know what advice to take from so many people. If you are 40 and have trained for a long time then good luck. To compound things you have counterproductive goals. I can understand someone avoiding summer sun but a 30 year old shouldn’t make longevity a restricting goal in life. I look at your physique and we can tell you lifted heavy weights off the floor. Your shoulders have benefited from your bench presses. Restricting calories and lifting heavy = what we see in your photos.
Yes, Vince - that sums it up perfectly!!
I have always been a hard trainer generally.
I mean, who bench presses 315x8 at 170-lb drug-free, who doesn't train hard?
In one of Dave Palumbo's "Bros vs. Pros" videos, they did a 315-lb bench press for reps contest, and Andy Haman only got 20 reps.
"Only" - 20 reps of 315 is lot, but I'm just saying my hard training is sort of proven through my lift videos.
IMO, many talk - but few prove their claims.
That said, I always restricted calories, out of fear of dying young.
But my doctor has basically mandated that I eat more.
I tell you to try eating more and keep the reps over 10. Forget deadlifting. See if you can get your arms an inch bigger. When you can do that you should be able to apply that to other body parts. Increase your calories. Maybe an extra meal before going to bed. Forget about impressing Getbiggers or guys in your gym. Forget the anabolic drugs. Have some fun in life and get active dating. Stop obsessing about details! Well, you can’t help it. If I say eat 3000 calories I don’t mean exactly that many but much more than you are ingesting now. If you need specific, precise details about anything then no one can help you because you literally don’t know what to believe.
Vince - that's all well and good for AFTER my cycle.
I just want that little boost to my training that you can't get without.
Basically, to feel pumped up all the time, and to just be a bit leaner and harder at all times.
No amount of fixing my nutrition will get that.
I could bulk up to 200-lb tomorrow, but I will be a bit soft.
I could cut to 160-lb tomorrow, but I will be soft.
What I'm trying to say is - there is NOTHING I can to do get the results I'm looking for WITHOUT getting a boost.
NOT in the time frame I'm looking to do it.
Vince, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND 18 MONTHS DOING EVERYTHING PERFECTLY to get the look I'm looking for. There will be time for that later.
I want the results FASTER. While my momentum is still so high.
Also, at 40, it's questionable if I will ever be able to achieve a certain look, even if I was literally in a lab, doing everything PERFECTLY. Eating to an alarm clock, and training in an exact specific way, at the same time each day.
Ever since gyms reopened - I've been feeling RADICALLY better. I was DONE with the plandemic joke - and I explicitly wrote the police and told them THERE IS NO FUCKING LAW IN CANADA THAT ALLOWS THE GOVERNMENT TO INSIST CANADIANS SHOW THEIR FUCKING PRIVATE MEDICAL DATA WHILE GOING TO SHOPS.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT LAW? IT DOESN'T EXIST!
So I went back and forth in communication with them, and explicitly stated that no one in the province has had the BALLS to test this vaccine passport bullshit in court - SO I WILL.
And I gave them a time and date, etc.
And told them I'd live-stream it.
Anyway, they backed down, and then the government got rid of that bullshit illegal rule because of the trucker's convoy protest.
And now, ever since being able to train at public gyms again, I've been radically better.
So my POINT in doing steroids is to keep the momentum going, and keep my well-being high.
I'm not looking for some night-and-day difference - but I've paid my dues in the gym. I've trained many hours over many years.
Now I want to literally look so svelte and sleek and sinewy, that even I stop while looking in the mirror and almost do a double take.
HOWEVER...I am NOT willing to take substantial health risks. That's why I want to keep things at the INTERMEDIATE LEVEL.
Regarding taking everyone's advice - I don't think I will be doing that once I start. I will have a definite plan by the time I start. Such as taking insulin...now we're talking about something that could cause me to die of hypoglycemia.
BIG risk - definitely need to APPROACH with caution.
If I do that, I will be making sure to have 5x 2L bottles of pop here, JUST in case, heaven forbid, I inject too much. Plus only inject when my training partner is here, etc.
And I still have at least one more health test to do before this starts.
I have basically done everything I possibly can to make sure this is done safely - if I do it, which I most likely will.
What I've come to realize is that people are so full of shit?
Do you remember Sarcasm [RIP], Vince? I got along with him, but...
HE WAS A COMPLETE FAT SLOB!
It blew my mind! So for ALL THOSE YEARS, the person behind the screen was an obese man, who was talking shit about everyone else?
UNREAL!
As I said earlier here - I was shocked walking into my first local strength contest and placing 4th.
PEOPLE ARE SUCH LYING SACKS OF SHIT.
You'd think from reading this thread, I am the first person to have done a cycle. When in reality, I'm simply one of the few people out there who is extremely honest, and not one to hide much.
The stuff that people hide scares me...again, for Sarcasm to talk so much shit, yet be a fat, disgusting, cheeseburger eating piece of shit...blows mind!
Vince - maybe most people say they are going to do 1g of gear, and actually do 3g. But NOT ME.
My intention is to do around or just under 1g total anabolics per week - although I'm thinking I'll do a 16-week cycle now, rather than 12. But you have my word - I'm going to do exactly what I say - not 3x as much like every other lying c unt out there!
Why would I even be posting all this, if my intention was to lie?
If I'm going to do this [75%+ chance], I want to do it RIGHT.
And as a bonus - it will be nice to out-lift or otherwise outperform those talking shit behind user names.
I'm assuming many are fat, wheezing, Sarcasm-like creatures!
