Been natural for 3 mths and it has its ups and downs

[Machiavellian Muscle]

I really want to get another cycle going as I have been detoxing my body of all chemicals steriods and recreational. My body finally feels regulated and normal. I actually donated some blood yesterday which I could do.

Plus sides of these three months.
*less moody up and down personality
*face thiner and the women seem more attracted to me (wierd)
*clear skin all around although this was never really an issue
*feel good in the gym, but totally different

Negative sides of these last three months
*not as motivated with diet/training as if I was on, but still moving forward...
*strenght is down bigtime which sucks. I was doing dumbell inclines with 150s on anavar 40ed and 300mg eq week now I can do only 120s. I don't like to go heavy because I feel more prown to injuries especially the lower back.
*body fat increased slightly and lost muscle
*not as sexually motivated even when on just eq/var morning wood every day.
*less euphoric feeling
*MISS THE DAMN PUMPS

I recently moved from Jersey to Fort Lauderdale to open a business so that is partially to blame, but no excuse. I want to run a var only cycle for 10 weeks at 50 of the paper from the kitty but not sure if I should rock a ten weeker know and then another
before summer. Any advice?

Yeah no muscle pumps at all hardly to what you are used to.

My mood was always great when on.

 

[italiano]

me too

i've also been off about 3 months. i feel like sh**. depresed more, shrunk up, and not making much progress in the gym. i love AS!

I've been off for about 5 months and am getting ready to do another cycle. On one side i can't wait and on another I don't wanna go through the coming off phase, with all its sides again.

 

[JuicePimp]

I agree about the pumps. I never got the crazy pumps everyone is talking about before hitting the sauce.

Ive been off for about 8 months and just started another cycle when I found out I need to get surgery, so I had to stop three weeks in... it sucks but oh well, it could be worse

Ive been off since jun 2002 and I know how you feel bro,the gains are slowing,Im adding a bit of fat trying to bulk natty,sessions in the gym almost seem like a chore,but I go

when on I feel like a new man, my natural mild acne actually clears up for some reason which is a bonus.

I should be on by jan1 so thats a bonus

I've never had a problem getting a pump w/o juice. Easy results does get addicting though.

Bro, if your face was getting bloated of eqv/var I would hate to see you on a test/deca/d-bol stack!

same here...exactly what I was thinking today

 

[02gixxersix]

i find absolutely nothing good about being off. I wish there was a way i could stay on forever and not harm myself.

 

[glennds]

my first cycle ends next week. although it was pretty mild compared to some guys here (40mg var) i have enjoyed the results and the almost bizarre strength gains.

i kind of wish the cycle was not ending. it is fun being on. for my next cycle i may add something with the var. not sure what yet.

 

[jubei]

I usually take 5-6 months off between cycles (8-12 weeks)

I remember being able to get pumps

equal to what I experience now when on, when I was a teenager. It seems that as an adult, when off, pumps are pretty non existent. I always wonder if it is due to having ever used in the first place. If I would still be able to get those incredible pumps naturally if I never fucked with my endocrine system in the first place. THAT is why I IMPLORE you teenagers or those in early twenties to wait. If you are a teenager and intend to keep it up as a lifestyle I really think you are hurting yourself by using at such a young age.

 

[zziggzzigg]

I agree. If you are thinking of doing your first cycle consider the fact that you will probably end up doing a lot more than one cycle and being natural is not quite the same as it was after a couple or three cycles. After a few cycles I think you almost need it just to maintain the combined leanness with strength that was possible naturally before ever cycling... but maybe it's just me, but I doubt it.

I have no problem getting a great pump naturally but it isnt as good as being on. Definitely not as strict on diet when off though but not too bad. I miss gear

 

[Machiavellian Muscle]

Fort Lauderdale is sweet. Much easier to get hot chicks down here than up North. Not as many built guys down here which is wierd.

I don't have problem making gains without, but the pumps are not the same. I can get natural pump, viens and blood flow, but it is not the same. Just ordered some g-plenish and running r-ala with carbs for now. It is good to go natural and detox the body, but people can tell when you jump back on especially if your body responds well to chemicals.
