adding gains like that is def tough on the ligaments and joints...I've never taken steroids, but the rate at which I gain strength and size has def taken it's toll on my knees and elbows. Good training routines are always a plus. Simply going on a weightlifting website and imitating a workout is never a good idea. Read books about strength training or talk to the experts.

I agree, copying someone els's routine is not the way to go.

MAN THAT WAS WELL SAID, SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE I KNOW!
Here’s some info for guys who want to gain 20-25lbs on a cycle.


Everyone wants to know how to gain high poundages on a cycle. We’ve all got a “friend” in a gym somewhere that gained 25lbs on his last cycle and we want to do the same. We ask ourselves…What is his secret? Is the juice he’s taking that good? Is it a good diet in conjunction with the test.. is that what is responsible? Well, here’s the answer.. NO, his particular anabolic compound of choice be it Sustanon, Winstrol, Dbol, Tren, etc… isn’t so great that whoever takes one of those compounds will grow.. nor is his diet so “on” that he will gain more than us.

Here’s the truth.. and some of you won’t like it.. Some of you may even get pissed off.. The reason these guys grow so much on their cycles is because they shouldn’t even be using steroids to begin with… And that’s the truth… That may sound a bit confusing.. yes? Well allow me to elaborate…

You take a 20 yr old male. He has been lifting on and off for six months or so… He’s about 6 foot tall maybe a little shorter.. 5’10” or so.. He weighs about 165lbs.. He’s got a little bit of definition.. nothing big.. when his shirt is off people can tell he’s been working out.. He decides one day that he wants to take steroids, He sees the really big guys in the gym and he wants to be like them right now.. he doesn’t want to wait any longer.. in his mind six months has been long enough.. So he gets on the internet.. he finds a message board similar to this one.. he reads a little .. finds a hook up.. and decides to run 250mg of test and 300mg of deca for two months and ends up weighing around 185 or 190.. All of his friends are amazed.. he’s amazed He’s put on some size.. he looks like a weight lifter.. he doesn’t look like someone who could compete.. but he looks like he’s finally arrived on the Body building scene… His closest friends are so impressed that they want to run the exact same cycle .. He tells them exactly what he did.. how he ate etc… Now, a few months go by.. all of a sudden the kid is back to around 165 maybe 170.. He thinks.. “Oh man.. I’ve got to get back on cycle.. I need those drugs to be big.. if I don’t.. I just can’t grow… Steroids require that I stay on all the time to maintain the kind of size that I want”… I guess that’s what he has to do; huh; stay on all the time?

Now, here’s the reason he gained 25lbs on his cycle.. He was so far from his genetic potential that once the anabolic compounds were introduced into his system he grew like a weed.. His body didn’t need to struggle to put on that mass, because it was quite capable of adding that much mass naturally.. The steroids just sped it up..

it is for lack of a better or more accurate word.. a short cut to get to where he could have gotten natural anyway. His inevitable weight loss after coming off his "super" cycle wasn’t from the lack of steroids.. it was from a lack of a proper foundation.. a Lack of proper training skills, and a lack of muscular maturation…

Here’s the deal.. guys who need steroids aren’t the guys who are growing 25+lbs per cycle.. they are gaining 10lbs and hopefully keeping 5-8.. They are struggling to even do that.. I’ll tell you from personal experience.. I am 30 yrs old 6’2” .. I am 284lbs currently.. I am 17% BF (I’m a power lifter/strongman.. so I keep a little extra fat on me)…If I wanted to keep the same body fat % I have now and weigh 300lbs.. I would have to run a very long cycle. or in all honesty it will take me two full cycles to get to 3 bills..

An average cycle for me is about 750mg Test, 450mg Deca, 300mg EQ and Some Dbol in the front and at the end… Those are some fairly heavy dosages...Why don’t I gain 25lbs per cycle?

Because No matter how much gear I take.. no matter how much I eat.. my body is so far beyond it’s genetic potential that I simply can’t add that kind of radical mass anymore..

My body does a fairly good job of maintaining mass when I’m not on cycle.. but I do drop weight regardless.. and in truth, the only reason my body maintains it’s size as well as it does is because of Muscle maturation.. My body is used to carrying around that muscle.. it’s not a shock to my body to carry it around.. And I built a solid mass foundation naturally years ago.. I reached my genetic potential before I started using juice.. Lifting was a habit and a lifestyle for me because I played football from Junior high through College.

I’ve worked out in gyms all over the country.. and I have been doing so for the better part of a decade.. and I'll tell you, I have seen a lot of little guys blow up for a couple of months from a cycle only to deflate a couple of months later. It's the truth.. Muscle Maturation plays a huge key in keeping mass... that and proper training skills.. (and no hitting bench 3 days a week and squatting once every few months doesn't count)

So in truth, when you hear about some guy who gained 25-30lbs off of a cycle.. Please keep in mind that he is probably some impatient tiny punk that could have easily gained the same amount of muscle had he just been a little more patient.. If he had just been focused on learning how to train.. focused on how to eat…

This is a lifestyle.. there are no short cuts if you want to be the real deal.... There will never be a fly by nighter even win the smallest amateur comp in booney freaking Iowa if he hasn't been serious for years...

It's important that you guys learn that Juice may seem like the best short cut in the beginning... but whenever you add that much mass that quickly from gear.. Your body isn’t going to be ready for it.. it will literally fight you to keep it.. the sudden size and strength will stress the ligaments, tendons, bones and central nervous system and Your body will do everything that it can to shed those rapid muscle gains.. Decent muscle mass is only kept through time and hard work (cough.. cough.. it's a cliché.. but it's still true).. and it's important that your gains aren't so fast that the body can't adjust healthfully to it’s new weight gain..

I've been on the boards for years.. and I'll tell you, 80% of the people on these boards are wannabes and posers.. they are guys who won’t even be working out six months from now.. They are impatient and are looking for the shortcut.. they may even get a few short term results.. but in the long run they will come out behind everyone else (and when I say long run.. i mean less than a year or two)

These kind of guys will never be anything more than a hobbyist.. and in truth...that is probably the case in every other aspect of their lives as well, not just weight lifting..

So in the end my advice is this.. if you are wanting to add some mass. and you’re stuck.. learn a different training method.. change your diet.. and if you’re a good size.. (that’s when everyone who is in the room with you knows you’re a weight lifter.. if you walk in a room, and everyone in there doesn’t know that you lift… you are not ready for steroids) then come and sit down.. and we’ll talk about steroids.. until then… Learn how to train.. learn how to eat.. and spend some time in the gym.. you’ll be so much better off in the end…

Great post Phreezer.

You have done a great job of summing up steroid use as we know it today. To put it bluntly, generally, the use of steroids nowadays has just become pathetic.

There are so many people out there experimenting with these drugs in such a way as though they are some kind of "miracle pills", and on top of that, using them without doing any kind of research first to find out the proper and safest way to use them. Just as you have explained, there is not only a proper and safe way to use them, but there is specific TIME to begin using them.

I am 39 years old now, and I didn't start using steroids until I was 32 years old. I weighed 265 lbs at 6'0". Granted, about 40 lbs of that was fat, but still, I tried to build up a good foundation of size and strength before doing my first cycle. I also started studying steroid use about 10 years before I ever did that first cycle.

In bodybuilding, powerlifting or any other sport that requires size, strength, power, or endurance.. proper training, diet, self-discipline and most importantly, KNOWLEDGE and PATIENCE should be well-developed long before there should be any consideration of using steroids.

This was a great post...i just have a question...you said your body will fight you back because the weight you put on is unnatural....lets take the guy's friend that was 135 and took juice in the 12th grade and blew up to 195 lbs...lets say after cycle he kept up with working out and ate enough calories to maintain his weight for a 195 pound man...would he keep his gains or would his body fight him and he would lose everything?

This is exactly what is being explained here. First of all, a 12th grader, or a 17 or 18 year old, should not even be using steroids, or even think about using them for several more years.

Secondly, at that age, and bodyweight, one could easily gain 60 lbs naturally... easy... I did that at that age myself. So, to use steroids to gain that weight, at that age is just plain stupid.

Nothing else needs to be said. Read Phreezer's post, and go by it.

Don't do steroids unless you've past your genetic potential naturally

Get stale. It's simply not true. Muscle won't magically disappear and that 20 pounds gained can be maintained and grown on. Turning these rants into stickies is similar to the threads that say 250mgs of test is all you really need.

If you don't think people should do steroids because they lack the maturity to make informed decisions then say so. Don't pretend that all things being equal that steroids only work for the pure of mind. They aren't psychic and they don't have morals.


That's my little rant.

I have no idea... You're talking about children taking steroids that have no business taking steroids. There aren't enough studies (nor do I think there ever will be) to answer questions like this. How can anyone know what a year of Steroid usage would do to a 17 year olds body????

I've seen lots of guys graduate high school at 140lbs and then fill out in their early 20's around 190lbs completely natural with not much weight training. Some people develop later than others.

As a male you are still physically growing and developing up until around 20 years old. My post is geared more towards people who have reached a decent physical maturation. Not for children.

You obviously need to re-read what I wrote. LMAO.. Who said anything about steroids working for the pure of mind??? Where the fuck did that comment come from...? And making reference to morals or psychic? Where did I imply anything like that? Or that steroids don't work.. They work too well for guys who aren't ready for them.. that's my point. Talk about twisting what I said into some seriously misinterpreted mess.

I'm sorry but it takes time for the body to acclimate itself to serious weight fluxuations.. regardless of what you say. The first time you come off the bean your body will try and shed that weight because it's not use to it. The human body doesn't like to adapt overnight to anything. It takes years for the body to get accustomed to serious changes. That's why you never see any guys who have been bodybuilding for a year taking steroids stepping onto a pro stage.. That's why you don't see guys skinny one month and three months later fat as fuck.. HOMEOSTASIS is something the human body fights for..

But whatever, it's my opinion. If you don't like it.. that's fine. It's your right to disagree.

Cheers!

Oh.. and one more thing. I'll make whatever I want a sticky in this forum.. I created it. I hang what I want on my walls.. If you don't like the decor.. stay out of my house.

I agree with 90% of your original statement. I disagree with the last paragraph. When Im in a room I dont stick out as a bodybuilder, I do look semi fit. I feel I have reached my gen potential. Im 30 6 foot-185, I have been training for seven years, have made constant improvements in my training and diet. Without 2-3 cycles a year, Im a steady 170. My gen are horrible. I just recently learned how to keep gains when off cycle, by low dose dbol for two months after. I know everyone is different , and Im not attacking your statement, just trying to add to it.

You make sense dude. Not all bodybuilders are 250+ pound guys and not everyone defines success as how big you get. People suspect that I'm a bodybuilder or as a women in the office recently observed, "into some kind of athletics". But, at a contest weight of about 180# and 5'10", my involvement in the sport doesn't exactly scream out :). And you know what? That is fine with me.

I think the spirit of 11's post is that most kids have zero business doing the stuff. You know what, and this will proabbly piss everyone off, I would say probably 90% of the people on these boards have no business doing it. Most dont compete and have absolutely no intention of doing so. Taking these drugs to look big around the gym or to impress people when you're out partying is just insane! But, Whatever. I do and have done plenty of stupid shit in my life so I'm in no position to judge anyone. I just hope these young bro's are being safe and looking out for their long term health.
