i say this as as guy currently studying to be a personal trainer.....
if you are a member of this forum you should not need a personal trainer!
there is more than enough knowledge and info here to keep you on the right track.
as for you not training hard on juice. well i think you should push yourself from this moment on. if your growing now, you will grow more if train properly
well said. and also I would advocate training solo most of the time. unless ur buddy is also on cycle, he will do nothing but slow you down. when i do train with someone i tell them upfront they need to eat and drink perfectly before the gym because if they don't they will not survive my workouts
