Here is a recent pic of me taken a few months ago, 1 year off all gear at 39 years old.In this pic I weigh around 257-260 lbs, I am trying to get down to 230 lbs by early next year.I am retired from competitive bodybuilding so I see no need to carry 280-290 lbs like I used to offf season.After carrying that much weigh for 4 years, (2001-2005) it becomes alot of work, and your tired all the time.Right now I just want to get down to 230 lbs, and look slightly muscular but healthy.

You look good dude...especially for 39 years old. Did you do anything after you stopped the gear to get your natural test going again? Clomid or hcg or anything like that. Have your natural test levels recovered ya think?Just curious since you are 39 yes old and still appear to be very muscular.

damn still Jacked though... While you were that big was cardio a regular part of your training regimen or are you blessed with a speedy metabolism? I hear It can make a huge difference when one reaches that size.

Garreth,I think they ask to see a pic of me because I have stated numerious times that I retired from bodybuilding in July 2005 after the Mr USA, and that I have been off al gear for a year.So I guess they wanted to see how much my body changed being off of al gear for over year.

GT When I came off of all gear last year I` was going to use `some HCG or clomid, but I couldnt get my hands on any .So I just used natural Testosterone boosters for 3 months .Like Longfolia, Tribulus, Velvet VDA, Muira Puama, Maca, as well as a`few other all natural testosterone boosters to help my body bounce back.I was holding like 272lbs up until about 5 months ago, without drugs until I cut back my calories.The trick to not losing alot of size when coming off all anabolics is to have a solid foundation already.I trained for 15 years totally drug free, and my off season weight would be around 250-255lbs , so I built a solid foundation.The only reason I started using anabolics is I was stuck at 250 lbs for 3 years naturallyh, plus I qualified for the USA being natural.You know as well as I know only a fool would enter the USA` drug free.The problem with most guys thae use anabolics never build a solid foundation so when they come off of them they shrink up.Or another scenerio is when they are off of a cycle they get lazy, dont eat as much, and dont train hard, its like they lose there confidence.Wether I was on or off a cycle I ate and trained just as hard, but when I wasnt on anabolics I would just cut back on my sets, and make my workouts shorter.Because you know anabolics make your body recover twice as fast.Plus I always supplemented heavy I would take in 600 grams of protein and 50-60 grams of L-Glutamine and BCAAS per day, to help my body get the aminos it needed to repair its tisue
.This year, I have been working out 20 years and 15 orf them were drug free, 3 1/2 were on anabolics, and this last year, I have been off al gear as well.So the best advice I can give anybody is build a solid foundation, and dontr just realy on drugs to give you the body you want.This`way you wil hold more muscle when your off of a cycle, so you wont just have a` drug body

600 grams of protein per day...wow. Eating must have been a full time job.Thanks for the response.

Legs are big enough.... so stay away from the squat rack and keep to leg exstensions.

No offence but given the fact you know exactly why you were asked to show the pic why not show a pic that makes it clear just what you've lost rather than the crossed arms push biceps out pic

exactly what i was thinking. show shirtless pics. in that pic your waist is huge as well as your stomach.

I know 600 grams of protein is alot to take in a day but I would take in 300 grams from protein powder and 300 grams from solid meals.I would have one solid meal, and one from protein powder and alternate them out the day.
Rocket as far as the pic goes that is the most recent picture I have, because I dont go around taking pics of myself .Since I was asked to post a pic, I posted the most recent one I had.As far as pushing my biceps out, if you look closely I am not trying to push my biceps out.Besides 257-260lbs at 5'11 is not huge, but I feel I am big enough to not realy on pushing my biceps out, or even sticking out my chest when taking pictures.I havent measured my arms but I would have to say they are still around 20", since they were around 21 -21 1/2" just last year.I have only lost about 20 - 25 lbs since I was off all anabolics.

Hoodwinked by HGH

GetItOnNY · « **Reply #19 on:** September 09, 2006, 11:59:29 PM »

I didnt use HGH, because I have a` very large rib cage and big hips like Art Atwood, so if I did HGH I would have started to look like him.I only used Test,( Sustanon 250) Primobolan, and Decca or Tren on my off season.Precontest I would use test propinate, Primobolan, Winstrol, and Anavar.I never used insulin or GH because of if you have a big rib cage or a big frame they will give your body a very blocky and ugly look

GetItOnNY · « **Reply #23 on:** September 10, 2006, 12:55:16 AM »

You know I posted a pic because Mike and Cheri asked me to.No I dont to claim to be huge, I am a` 39 retired bodybuilder who hasnt used any anabolic steroids for over a`year.When I did compete naturally I` won the Mr Natural International, Mr Natural World, and took 4th in Mr Natural UnIVERSE.After only 3 years of anabolic use I took top 10 in the national levels shows `as an open athletes competing at 255-258lbs ripped.Now that I am`retired I now formulate supplments for athletes like Art Artwood, Gustavo, Will Harris, Bob Chic, and Toney Freeman , just to name a`few.My goal is not to be huge anymore, but to get down to 230 lbs, look healthy, and be able to help other probodybuilders, and to help me, al I cal say is god bnational level athletes get there pro card.I have nothing to prove at this point, I just want to expand my company, and work with other athletes.So you critisism meas nothing to me, but if you have any terchnical querstion I will gladly answer them for you.....God Bless.......John
