Aas and my job

[Francofranco]

For many of us who work outside the bodybuilding and fitness arena know already the challenges of working full time, aspiring in the gym and not to mention family etc etc. so what kinds of jobs do you have and how do you balance it all? Has any aas effected your Job performance? Any advice to those struggling? Share of any helpful hints experiences?
Why I bring this up in this forum is most us work, use aas ( not all) and I believe in order to get the most out of each cycle we gotta live it also through the day. I know guys who cycle with enough gear to satisfy Godzilla but who don't take care of themselves. They all have the same story , " why am I not gaining? Why am I not making progress? " asking them a few questions and it's easy to see aas with poor lifestyle = little to nothing.
For me I work in the trades and if I don't eat I suffer. So making sure I hit my daily requirements is crucial especially if Iam already getting a workout 8-12 hours before my actual time in the gym.
Here's a little secret guys I don't mention much but we all have heard it a lot here. Iam not a sales person ok but in my trade time can be crucial so a fast way to get some protein in and that actually works... Gear. This has been a blessing for me!!!! Now I gotta go and buy some more before it's gone haha
Ok so hit me up let me know what ya'll think.

I've never taken aas but I recently just started researching sarms and I love them! I'm getting ready to step it up a notch and start running ph's. I've learned more about aas and peds on this forum than I would have every imagined I would know. I use to be the type that viewed aas like the rest of the uneducated masses. However, as I'm getting older--28 closing in on 30--I'm noticing that I'm not recovering like I used to. The biggest reason for this is a combination of my job and the newest addition to my family, my son. I'm constantly running on a 1/4 tank of gas, getting only 4-6 hours of sleep a night. I have a very physically and mentally draining job. I'm a chemical distillation operator and it can be very stressful at times, especially since I work 60 hours a week. For whatever reason, I find a lot of motivation by staying up with these forums. It's nice to feel connected with people who share the same passion and struggles.

My coworkers and supervisors have become accustomed to my lifestyle somewhat, and realize that I'm going to eat every 2-3 hours while at work, and if I get busy and start missing a meal I turn into an asshole. My wife has my eating schedule down to a science too, and knows when and what I need to eat. She will help me out and get things prepared, weighed, and measured for me, and stay on top of things. To be serious in this lifestyle, it requires a 24 hour commitment, no matter where you are at.

Steve you hardcore bro! I was crying laughing when I read that! Thought I was the only one who did that. I give you credit for being passionate about your training and life.
For most of us you gotta catch that fire Steve has , it'll push you and push you beyond your limits.

Congrats on your son!
Well with all your prep and research I think you'll be satisfied when the time does come for that first run of proh or aas. Many of the guys here really do care and take the time to share their priceless experiences but in the end it's all on you bro and that's also the great thing about this sport and lifestyle. It's what you take from this all and how you apply it. Like Steve taking off work and many others are great examples of that self motivated drive. Ide like to add gk proh are awesome man. So get with Dylan when you're ready for that jump, he'll cook up an awesome first cycle for you.

Amen brother to the "24 hour"commitment. That's awesome your wife is on board with you ; like a team effort.
Bro when I don't eat everybody knows it haha. My wife won't even talk to me cause she knows something didn't go right with me today. I can't stress enough whether you're a competing athlete or not food is essential! It's the make or break thing.
Right on bro seems like you got some good things working for you.

Once on a proh run I had such bad pumps could hardly get my work done. Bro it was so bad I would work for 10- 15 min then have to sit down stretch then go again. Then I heard about taurine... Yea baby. Powder form worked best for me.
