I gotta say soemthing.
joe, there's no reason why you can't take a break from the sauce and still be a part of the community. You know as well as anybody I've always advocated obtaining the most muscle naturally, and afterward useing low dosages to go the extra mile. I'm anti clen, slin, and just about everything else that is unhealthy.
I no longer cycle myself. But bodybuilding is a great hobby and a noble cause and there's no reason to give it up. I'm not saying you should go against your family's wishes. But maybe you should explain to them that this is a part of your life and you don't have to push the envelope at every turn to be a part of it. Hell, there are guys here that never even used gear.
There are a million ways we can all continue to grow -- physically and intellectually. There are new supplements right around the bend that are very exciting. And yes, responsible, occasional low dose cycles can maintain a magnificant physique. You don;t have to do crazy dosages, peak, and then lose it all. That would make the entire venture pointless. I'd love for you to show your family you can do this naturally. And knowing your commitment, I bet you could.
It's ultimately your choice, I just hate to see anyone leave this great sport. Anyone who does regrets it. Yet, I don't know a single person who continued bodybuilding into old age and said they were sorry for it.
Think about bro. And good luck.
