going back to natural...who has done it

[Selfcentor]

I myself trained for 4 years natural then did 3 cycles over a year and decided it wasn't for me so I went off them and trained for another year natural and competed. If you have trained for 4 or 5 years your muscles will be very mature so size loss will be minimal. I'm not going to tell you it doesn't effect you emotionally. You will loose some size and some strength but nothing much.
Recovery time should not be an issue depending on your age and most people that cycle still train only enough not to over train anyway.
Chances are you know your body well enough to know most important is eating anyway.
You should be fine.

Good post and experience!!!

im gonna be going natural until next summer i want to build my self up for awhile without any juice.. who knows how much longer it will be availible with all the shit going down...

been clean for almost 8 months now
will only do one cycle now per year .
Just for health and logivity reasons.
being that i'm 30 now I'm in it for the long run and built my my bulk in my 20's
I have manged to control my mass and cutting through diet witha hint of t-3.
When i want to bulk keep the t-3 and 20mcg a day cut 40 mcg a day.
its working magical becuase people think i'm still on gear.
THE DIET HAS TO BE 100% PERFECT.
but it can be done.
You just have to keep a good mental outlook and train balls to the wall and eat eat eat.
But the hardness and vasculairty only comes with great pump up in the gym and fades in a few hours with on the juice it stayed around all day.
But i can live with out it.
Jan 1st primo 800mg a week anavar 60mg with a hint of test .
I'll keep most of the gains for almost a year then it slowly fades away by the end of the year time to get back on.

Maybe one cycle a year could be the way to go for you also.
I think most natural contest state that the person has to be clean 1 yr. somesay 5 year and some are lifetime drug free contest.

thanks all. When I was in my early 20's, renting a hole for an apartment and drivng a car that was a decade old the risk didn't seem that great. Now I'm 30, married and have a nice house. The dangers of finding new sources doesn't seem worth what I would be risking if I got caught.

oldandconfused...when you competed after a year of being off did they drug test? I thought to do natural shows you had to be off for a long time.

Nelson, would using any of those supplements effect a drug test for a natural show? I can say i tried unl;eashed and post cycle once when they had first come out a few years ago and they worked great but cost more then my normal PCT - post cycle therapy - did. If those are legal for natural shows i will definitely go back to them.

They did drug test but only the overall in the comp. Wasn't me as you can guess but unless your using deca it really isn't an issue after a year and then detection is slim under the right conditions.

All this UGL stuff has brought me to the decision to stay off gear. I'm interested in hearing from people who went off for a long time and what advice they have for me. Also how long do you have to weight to compete as a natural because I'm not ready to give up that just yet.

as natural as I'll ever be is 250mg week TEST E and 2 iu GH daily
