Going to start lifting again, gear temptation pretty high...

[frorider6.2]

After my first 2 years in the Army, I'm down 40 lbs because of only sporatic time in the gym and a deployment to Iraq. I'm finally going to be able to spend regular time in the gym and am really looking forward to it. It just sucks that I feel like I'm going to be starting over. I'm hoping to be able to put on at least a pound a week just by eating big, working out with large compound movements and taking creatine.

But I gotta say it's really tempting to set up a lose dose test run. I know my body isn't ready and I don't need it to make gains, but the temptation is still there.

Anyone else go through this after a large amount of time off?

everytime man, why go from 0-60 in one year if you can do it in 10 weeks! But resist! I did that a couple times and it was a total waste

Out of curiosity, why was it a waste?

I usually statisfy my temptations with anavar
