Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I have many ups and downs on my cycle im up like 15-17 pounds through 4 weeks. However when i look in the mirror i really dont notice a huge change in my body the only way i can tell im growing in when i put on a shirt that is usually lose and all of a sudden it gets caught up around my shoulders and arms. Anyways i was just wondering if u guy could see huge changes by just looking at urself?
do u guys notice!!!

i believe that the changes are so subtle that you won't notice them yourself; someone else will notice changes in your appearence before you will.
to me, it's the best compliment i can get when someone i know or work with, those who are not into fitness, look at me and comment on fat loss or muscle gain.

yup, what rnch said, I can'tt really tell but the scale goes up, and friends notice right away.
The only time I notice any change in my physique during a cycle, is when I am on fina. And then, it's only every day that I notice more definition, bigger muscle, etc.

Yeah, I kinda know what you mean. I visited a buddy of mine I hadn't seen in awhile. And I always looked at him as being pretty big.
Well, the first thing I thought was, damn, he's not big at all, shit.

When I was young I asked a Pro what it felt like to carry all that muscle - he said he felt the same at 280 and 180. "You get used to your body and then it feels like your normal feeling."
This is probably the reason why roids appeal so much - we need to grow at an accelerated rate to avoid getting 'used' to our bodies. Only during periods of constant change do we even have a shot at 'feeling' big and powerful for a sustained time - hence the feelings of inadequacy when coming off.
Those mental games are always playing.

I just went to my 20 year reunion..( yes, 20 year ) and people were shitting when they saw me. I was 120 when I graduated, and now am 225. I am used to being this size so I was kind of caught off gaurd with the comments. I was blown away when I saw a picture of myself in my wrestling singlet that they had put up. I was more embarrassed by my hair style than my size.
one word of advice...QUIT looking in the mirror. i know it is hard not too. i have the same problem. it is like you look in the mirror to see if there are any dramatic results. but b/c you look at yourself so much you do not notice. try not looking in the mirror for 1 weeks, then tell me you dont see a difference. or take a pic of yourself after you are finished. then in 1 month look at the pic and then at yourself, you will then realize how f'ing jacked you were.
my first major cycle was sust/dbol. i gained 30 lbs but, to me i looked the same. but when i walked into a party after winter break at college, every one knew right away what i did. but still i felt small. sometimes i feel like i have male anorexia. it is a medical term for men that feel they are to small, no joke.

Yes, "bigorexia", I have it too. If people didn't say something to me almost everyday about my body, I probably wouldn't even know that I was big.
I am always shocked to see what I look like in pictures, as well as those side glances when you don't expect to see yourself, and you are wondering who that other person is for a brief second. Self-perception is always warped because what we actually see is jaded by our expectations.

It's probably safe to assume that almost everyone here has some body self-percention issues.
It's taken me years and a good amount of maturity to become more balanced than I used to be but I still get the same old feelings sometimes - I just push them away like the garbage they are. Everyone on the planet seems to suffer from it in one way or another, best advice is to get over it as it will always rule you otherwise. Easier said than done but this is the only solution.
