Are You NATURAL Or Using ANABOLICS?

[njmuscle]

Natural - or should I say "over-the-counter unnatural" or "legally unnatural" since I do use prohormones, etc.

Have nothing against gear users - if it wasn't for the legal issues (or if I had a 100% trustworthy source) I'd probably juice myself. I suspect a lot of the naturals on the board feel the same way. I work in a highly regulated industry, and an arrest by itself - even with no conviction - would probably end my career. I do admit I wish I'd tried back in college - had the contacts and back then the law was a lot more lax. Still consider it sometimes (Fina, at least, since purchase/simple possession is legal) but I'll see if I can hit my goals without it first.

Ahhh. I remember uttering those very words. Brings a tear to my eyes. Those were the days...

i think everyone thats juices (including me) has said "i dont think i'l ever juice"

the word natural is an oxymoron anyway,,if u guys think that 1-ad and andro are natural then you are mistaken(they are just crap legal versions of wanna be steriods)

just because its legal doesnt mean its natural,,,i just view gear as "illegal supplements",but either way you aint getting shit if your not working hard and eating right

Re: gear

It is just an illusion being addicted to gear. I have taken gear and I am not addicted to it, I don't have to have it to continue on with my daily life. It just shows that if you are addicted to gear, you are weaked willed. Not to offend anyone on the board or anything. I have done a cycle and plan on doing one more, and I will be happy after my 2nd cycle. I will be done and will not touch another steroid for the rest of my life. At that point I will have other things to worry about (marriage, a kid, ect.).

Being big is fun, but if your are older and in the business world and have to wear suits and go to meetings you kind of feel very self conscience. Suits do not look good on bulky muscle guys and its hard for others to look at you seriously. It is at this point in your life where being a freak suddenly is not so desirable. Yet despite this, i still do things to make me retain size. Guess I am addicted

Natural all the way! Except ECA, HMB, creatine, ecdysterone, Insulene, ALA, 400g of protein a day, 1-AD, norephedrine, ZMA, yohimbe...maybe I should just shut up. I'm no fan of steriods but as many people say "nothing about bodybuilding is natural."

Do yourself a favor and drop the HMB, ecdy, insulene, and ALA -- it's a waste of money

As for the question at hand... i will be natural for the next month before i go on an anavar only cycle in January

I've never taken steroids, and never will.

If you want to, then go for it, just not for me.

 

[FitnessFrk]

I can't call myself "all natural" because I will try almost any OTC supplement, but I don't use gear.

El Natural!

Disclaimer- You can't find me so just give me some harsh e-mail or something. I think steroids are for the weak willed who don't have the guts or nuts to go at it naturally, which takes a lot of dedication, patience, and real strength, not one that comes from a needle, bottle, pill, ect. That's just my opinion though, all you juicers are cool with me.

that's great to know
what are the dedicated supposed to do when they have reached their natural potential?
not being able to reach new goals suck, when there is no way out, i don't see any problem as use.
What about taking AS bothers you? Lets say my test levels are naturally 300 and yours are natualy 800. What would you think about me wanting to have equal natural test levels as yourself? Not everyone is created equal, so, with moderate AS use, people have a more equal chance.
Personally, i have never done AS. BUt once i know i have reached my natural potential, i will have no proble using it.
