Are You Ready For Steroids?

Most people do not understand the role that a diet has. A spot on diet thats fitted towards your goals can give you gear like results at the novice and even intermediate levels. If you want to bulk then you set up a bulk diet and you follow it perfectly and the same with a cutter.

If this is aimed at a novice level athlete than maybe, but no matter how much the uneducated need education gear makes all the difference in the world.

If your plan is shit will a gram of test make you grow - yes. Will you keep the gains - no. If you eat like it's your job, either like a BB and super strict, or like an athelete and just a lot of wholesome foods then you will have tremendous gains on cycle.

Elite got us all when we were new to gear. I know countless people that wanted to research gear, and came here for over a year w/out even making a user name. It is a great place to start.

Unfortunalty you still see the same nonsense questions, and like digger said people looking for a magic pill. This is why the sponsers do so well - most of the AAS board regulars are looking for shortcuts, and ways around gruling training and eating non stop. Trust me, I am so sick of eating 16oz of steak 3x a day right now I can't even describe it. I hate chicken, I hate fish, hell - sometimes I hate food... and I don't eat chick/broc/brown rice. I eat meatloaf, drink whole milk, and eat mac and cheese. Try it - your deadlift and raw bench will thank you!

The right of passage to real strength is personal persaverence. Doing what is hard, or doing what you think can't be done. Making this a part of your life and not a footnote. It's either who you are or who you aren't.

Then once you master it adding gear is just awesome.

Yeah I agree. Once you have done all that you can do training/diet/supp wise then adding gear is awesome, but a lot of people use it before they take the more difficult path.

I'm gonna bump this and then unstick it -- got too many stickies, and people need to be reading them, not scrolling past them.

What a great thread.

I was training yesterday, Sunday, post on call (so very little sleep) on a gorgeous day, and a few of the regulars were in.

I considered myself to be 'going through the motions' as I was quite tired, I was training with just under my max weights for most things, and I didn't add any weight to any of my lifts, so 'going through the motions' as far as I am concerned now.

Between sets on my short breaks, I took a look at a few of the newbies around me.

One thing really, really struck me. They were all training with less weight than I was, they were training like total pussies, bad form, tiny weights, and one chap was even grunting it out for every rep of dumbell kickbacks with 5 kg/12 lbs.

It was shocking to say the least.

On the way out, just to do a reality check, I asked one of the other regulars if he had noticed the same thing.

His reply shocked me just as much. Not only had he noticed it, but he also said that most of the newbies thought that he and his mate were on steroids.

They are not on steroids, they are not all that particularly big at all. They do train balls to the walls most days and move some decent weight, but they are not geared up.

It got me thinking, if they think that these two lads are geared up, they must think the same of me. I have been comp prepping now for bloody ages, just added cardio, and now that I am getting lean, I look really muscular and I do move some serious weight for a wee slip of a lass.

What saddens me is that if these newbies think that it is the gear, they are really missing out.

If they think it is the drugs, then it is going to take them AGES and how many cycle where they lose all their gains before they learn how to train properly, how to feed themselves properly.

It is bloody hard work, and even I have forgotten how bloody difficult it is to get to the single digits of body fat.

Let me tell you, two hours of cardio/day sucks, but it is my own fault for getting too fat off season.
