you're starting to replace gladiator as teh dumbest motherfucker on EF.
he replaced glad completely with this post
It might sound crazy to a lot of you, but for me it's just something I love to do so much. And it's hard to hear when the doctors tell you not to keep doing the thing you love so much. Its left me very confused on what to do. It's not my heart that hospitalized me it was the pneumonia. And because of my known heart condition they did a lot of tests on it to make sure it was ok, because the pneumonia bug had left it inflamed. But right now everything looks ok in my heart for now.

You can probably safely continue to body build, without hitting the tren ace and a bombs. Take baby steps, ngr.
btw, pm the address to your cabin. I'm claiming it when you die.
Stero glad to see you doing better bro! As much as I hate to say it I agree with Mitch. Bro with a known heart condition I would think long and hard before I returned to the body building lifestyle. This lifestyle is very strenuous on the organs as you know. I think I would rather be alive than big and dead bro.
Stero, I get it. Many of us take risks every day with our health that we wouldn't dream of recommending to another person. I agree with the guys above: The smart thing to do here would be to find other things in life that you're passionate about and to let fitness/bodybuilding become a less serious hobby, or throw yourself with your same level of commitment into "clean" bodybuilding. But I can't tell someone else to do that because it would be a huge hypocrisy. So I'm not saying never touch anything again, but I would recommend at least making sure you are crystal clear on what happened here, and can accurately quantify the risk you're taking. It doesn't sound like you have that yet.
Was your cardiomyopathy an underlying preexisting medical condition or was it induced by what you were taking? Is it a dilated cardiomyopathy or is it hypertrophic? I don't know all the ins and outs of how cycling AAS affects the heart in each of these scenarios (I know there has been some written about cardiomyopathies but I'd have to check). Perhaps it makes sense to find out.... It may take your doctors a while to get to the bottom of all of this and it seems prudent to at least wait until they do.
Another thought is, whether or not you call that doc I recommended to you (I know it's expensive) it makes sense to have an MD you can be honest with about whatever you're doing. I would encourage you, if nothing else, to build yourself a good treatment team (primary care, cardiologist, endocrinologist if necessary) to help you have the best chance to stay healthy in the event that you decide to take a risk. You might catch some flak but it's better than the alternative.
Also, for the record, there is some evidence that AAS use can be immunosuppressive. I wouldn't rush to dismiss the idea that the pneumonia could be related. Just an educational tidbit.
Finally, I have enclosed a tribute pic and encourage others to follow suit. The memory of the bygone leg pics is enough. I think we'd rather have your lame posts in CnC for years to come than see your crazy-ass log cabin leg picsBesides, Plank is only gonna mangina them up anyway.

Them legs are nice, but i need to see neck down to get a better perspective

It's a pre existing medical condition, and doctors have always told me since I was a small child to never play in any organized sports or to exert myself in competing physical activity. It's a hypertrophy, thickening of the heart muscle. They are just saying further down the road it could lead to problems, if I continue doing bodybuilding. But I've never had problems with exerting myself in any sort of way. I just don't know how concerned I should be right now on my condition and where I will be 10 years from now, I mean priorities change over time for everyone.
