Hey Phreezer how the hell ya been my man? Great post brother. I love to lift just as much off as I'm on,and its so damn hard to get that extra 5lbs,becasue I'm at my genetic biggest, but you keep training hard,lifting with quality and you learn more training strategies,and you keep real to the deal,and make lifting a everyday lesson to learn more from your training regimen. A shortcut just isn't worth it,until you got as far as you possibly could and you have been lifting for atleast 5 years in my opinion. Good post brother.

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…

This is definitely a good read! So here I am complaining that I only gained 9 pounds on my cycle and after reading all of this it sounds like that's roughly what I should have gained. I will be 39 this month so I guess in the end on average I will keep approx. 5-6 pounds of muscle.??? So yes....the truth does hurt. But that's not going to stop me or bring me down.

genetics and bodybuilding

howdy,
guys i am 50 now and in BB for way over 30 years. and i´ve read posts like this b4 a thousand times. good post, nothing against that! BUT, you are all talking about your GENETIC LIMIT, or that "your genes" are bad.
NOW, WHO OF YOU IS A SCIENTIST or WORKS with a SCIENTIST to be able to say "my GENES ARE BAD" or "I AM SO FAR BEYOUND MY GENETIC POTENTIAL"??
Common guys, i bet 99% of everything you (and I) know about genes or genetic limits come from reads like FLEX, MMI or some other mag, in there articles, given you take a medical textbook to compare, SCIENCE ENDS, where SCIENCE STARTS i n a textbook.
WHY dont any of you do any RESEARCH on HOW TO TRAIN correctly instead of trying to find another wonder-peptide that will make you grow whatever needs to grow? BODYBUILDING TRAINING as it is performed generally is the most stupid, unscientific, and the worst researched brainless type of killing your time as well as yourself. I AM A BODYBUILDER by heart and soul, and i gave a lot of my health an in this consequence perhaps quite a few years of my life to become a bodybuilder. And after 35 years in this sport, i´ve seen that my fellow bb-peers are so much into science and research for a better way to get to where they wanna be, but i do not see anybody questioning the senseless bodybuilding-training advice given out by people with a perhaps less-scientific background than the average guy on olm posesses...common kids, do RESEARCH in bodybuilding training, the aspects of RECOVERY AND GROWTH, PROPER NUTRITION, NOT meaning to find another super-anabolic-grow-like a weed-power hyper super- make u superstar-over-night- powder, made by the same people that brought this very same BS to us 20 years ago with a different name. If you want to EDUCATE YOURSELF about TRAINING and GROWTH induced by training and HOW and WHY a muscle grows AFTER all, get yourself a copy of POWERFACTOR-training or STATIC-CONTRATION-training. I do not sell these or am affilliated with the autors, and even if you never train how they recommend, read WHAT they have to say about training and recovery. stop bashing your genetis and making your parents responsible for less than favourable progress with your bodybuilding. stop researching for new gear and peptides and cycles. all bodybuilders of the last decades did not invole themselfes in such, even though you WANT to SEE it this way and search for their SECRET. The only SECET in bodybuilding, ok i will tell you here:

THERE IS NO SECRET, that´s the ultimate secret in bodybuilding

I read Pubmed and Milo. I don't read MF or flex. Your reading comprehension sucks. You need to re-read what I wrote. Genetic potential is different for everyone.. but the litmus test is where you're at when you start and you just reinforce my point of time and training is more important than gear.

It doesn't take a medical degree to know that 90% of gym rats can't get to 250lbs at 4% NATURAL..

But like I've already said.. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But thanks for re-inforcing 90% of what I originally posted.

take care,

P

I was in my mid 20's so its was around my 9th cycle(started when I was 17). I happened to roll into some money after a very lucky night in vegas, so I decided to the the largest one I ever done yet to date. I had been on GH for about 8 months before this began, with a TRT dose of test and 25mcg of T3 rotated in and out

I had the blend custom made for me, its was 150mg of each, leading to a 600mg inject in one ml, made in EO. Which was ran for 6 months straight, the cycle lasted 7months though .Doing 5-7 injections a week of this cocktail with intervals of HCG so the boys would wither and die, and provirion at 50-100mgs depending on how bad the libido was getting.
The mix was made up of
Test Cyp
NandrolonePhenyl Prop
Bold Cyp
Parabolan(Tren Hex)

for the first 8 weeks, I used a combo of 75-100mgs drol(dose varied on how bad the back pumps were, and 50mgs dbol, I tell you, the back pumps you get from that are lethal, the pumps alone were insane, but even trying to do weighted hyper extenstions, when I got off and started to walk it looked like I was frigging John Wayne, getting off a horse Id been riding for 24 hrs straight walking bow legged as anyone could possibly be.

Then I took 8 months of the orals, and continued with brew of the gods, and 8iu of GH ed.

Then for the final stretch, I used the super brew, with 50-75 mgs of anavar(doses varied again with the back pumps), along with 40mgs turanibol. And the same dose of GH. That was the 24 weeks of all the heavy duty shit.

So I could do a long and proper PCT, I stopped using the super brew, cause it did have the test and bold cyp in it, So I started my regimine of HGC for a month while I used low doses of Phenylprop, Parabolan, Winny, and Proviron for the final hardening.

When I was prepubscent teen I already had bitch tits, which were actually benine tumors, so they removed the whole gland and all, so I was fortunate enough not to have to worry about gyno, especially progesterone induced gyno.

I ran 2mgs of Adex ed throughout the cycle to try and keep water rentention down to a bare minimum, and the proviron helped with that as well. After the month of HCG, I did a round of clomid and novla, for a month and continued the GH as well.

So when all was said and done, I had gained roughly 45-50lbs, and after all the bloat, went away 35lbs of that stayed of rock hard muscle. I began the cycle at around 240-245, went up to almost 300lbs, and ended up at 276lbs, at roughly 8-10% bf. Which for me Is absolutely amazing, since I have very poor genetics, I gain weight by looking at food. And for the first time in my life I had abs, or at least the out line of them, and bicep veins that were like rigatoni.

My arms were just shy of 22"
calves were 19"
waist was 36"
Chest was almost 60 Inches"

I remember going to clubs and the bouncers fucking around with me or not asked me please not to get into any type of brawl, I was telling girls I was pro football player. One night we went out for my girls bday, and the guy at the door thought I played for a local team, and we walked right in the club with a line of 100 something people waiting in subzero weather all waiting to see Paul Van Dyke, spinning that night.

Unfortunatly, I'll probable never be able to achieve that ever again, due to a series of massive bar brawls, ya know the assholes who wanna say hey check out the juice bag, and they confront me and have their eye socket crushed. And with so many fractures to the hands, and dislocating my shoulder a number of times, mix that with arthritis, which they believe now is rheumatoid, and probably is since its spreading through every joint in my body. And the grand winner of them all a bar fight that spilled ou into the street, and a guy caught me with a hay maker out of nowhere and I went flying intol the street, and was hit by a fucking taxi.

So Im sadly stuck on pain meds, and limited to what I can grip, how far I can press without the shoulder giving, or even walking for maybe a mile or so before I have to break out the cane. Im a man in my 30's with the body aligments of an 80 year old. But honestly it aint so bad, it makes for great conversation, the gladiator days and the women eat it up, and in return I do the favor:D

That was some long post, and if you read it all the way down to here, thanks for listening to my glory days gone by, cause now its time for my daily jog/walk/hobble with my cane..lol

RR

Lastly, I could have pumped a gallon of shit into my system and nothing would have happened if I had dedicated to training properly, training with people who could train properly, and its all about the diet. Gotta get at least 6 meals in a day, even if you have to wake ur ass up at 2am and chug a protein shake. Without the calories and the protein and the right supplements, none of that wouldnt have done anything more than turn my into a gigantic balloon of water and fat had I stayed on my ass, and not broke my ass to achieve the greatest Ive ever looked.

And for the mods, I hope its Ok that I mentioned past use and what was used, because I would never violate any laws because its illegal today to purchase these things. My test comes from doc, and bless his heart for his weekly dose of 300mgs a week, because without it, my levels are below 100ng/nl. Thats what happens when you dont do proper PCT, or start at 16-17 yrs old and continue to do so for 20 yrs

nice read! i feel good when people ask me what type of training i do and these questions are asked of me when im off cycle!., mind you im 32 and have done many cycles..comments like that soothe me when im off cycle :cool:
 
I attest to Phreezer's good wisdom. I lifted for years, but then I wanted to compete, wanted to be huge, long story story short- I took the the short cut- four years later I'm as big naturally as I was peak cycle four years ago. Too much, too fast. The long hard road is slow, but ultimately more productive. I think that's the secret, persistence- of training, dieting, ect.

the younger you are, the worse you are making decisions, so on this issue, just put it off.

im in my 20'z and my natural body weight at 140-145lbs have super hard time gaining, been training for over 5yrs and the heaviest iv been was 158lbs natural when i stop lifting for like 2 months max i drop weight rappidly maybe 10-12lbs, but when i start up again the weight comes back just as easy...now every time i get up to 155-158lbs i stop gaining even with strength increase, im guessing thats my genetic potential so after hitting this weights im able to try anabolics....i know strength gains to fast can caz injury thts where those lil twerps tht use AAS come in the cheaters... I never thought about using AAS unless hitting my maximum potential, I kno wat hard training is been doing it since high school...as a sophmore i weighed 120lbs and was benching 225lbs 2X my weight so i know my injury potential should be as much as a cheaters...any ways i graduated at 135 and i only filled in 5-10lbs yrs after highschool natural, but wit lifting up to 155lbs, so i must be ready right
