Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below There are some moments in life where you must take decisions.I am finishing my 3rd cycle and i am strongly convinced that steroids are not for me.I have 2 very serious sides... First one is that i am neglecting everything else so as to eat-train-sleep and all those things we know that consist of the 90% of our results.Well,i was going for the 10% also and i decided to use the drugs. But i am 22 ,and i am in college ,i have a girlfriend,friends and i just can't keep up with everything.Everyone else is complaining about neglecting him and i feel same way too.Also the eating thing has made me completely anti-social especially during my cutting cycles. The second side i am getting is the stress of doing everything right and take all the precautions so i will be ok. I am very concerned about my health and always making a mountain out of a molehill. As far as what steroids have done for me,well that is also questionable.I like being bigger than others , but it gets old after a while. I know that most of you will say that i had to do 3 cycles to decide that drugs aren't for me but give me a break,i am 22 ! So i have 3 weeks more ,right now i am on Eq/winny/T3/glucophage/eca. I will be finishing this cycle ,have my clomid therapy and that's it. i will still continue to train hard as i love the sport but i will change my supplementation and diet plan. I will stick with my protein/glutamine and multi-vitamin as i find them to be the most effective.Well a little ALA couldn't hurt also. It seems ridiculous having to take 50 pills a day just to keep healthy.Too much stress ...period.Of course i will continue to read and educate myself so as to learn more about my favourite hobby. I am a recreational bodybuilder and seemed to forget about this as it became my life.If i could give and advice to newbies ,that would be to realize how much they must have in place so as drugs to work.Steroids are not magic pills,if you do not know what are you doing they could be useless pills and for some idiots even death pills. Maybe later in life ,when all my stuff will hopefully be settled up i will give it another try but i seriously doubt it. Finishing this long confession i have to say that i admire those of you who manage to keep it all up, be safe, train hard and do cycles which require dedication. I would be interested in your opinion about the whole subject or if you had to make some notes.
I am out ....last cycle

Well he's not giving it up entirely, just the drugs. I think this is a wise choice if you have thought it through, and guess what if you change your mind later and want to do another cycle you can. Remember priorities in life change (alot) and sometimes you have to give something up to realize just how much you miss it.paradox said:

The eating thing can make me anti-social as wel and certainly is a pain in the ass. I know myself now though, and I know that I'm the type of person who has to look good to feel good. It's sad perhaps but I feel much worse if I'm not trying to improve myself somehow AND feel I'm making progress.

Mr_Pincushonass you didn't actually read my post
Nathan we are not just people who watch what they eat.There are many people out there that don't eat fatty stuff and fast food but they are not following our diets. We take it to the extreme as we tend to eat a lot and have protein-based diets. A healthy ordinary (not bodybuilder's) person's diet is carb-based.

Migko- I too have a hard time putting everything in the back seat to pursue my goals in BB. I know that sometime(probably very soon)in the future, I too will find myself at the cross roads you're at. It sounds like you've really thought this out and are making you're decision based on a cost/beifit analysis. I wish you success.

Good to hear you have your priorities straight. Sometimes this lifestyle takes up so much time, energy, and money, I wish I could just quit it, or at least just become a "regular joe" that just works out a few days a week. But despite all the sacrifices, I love it and wouldn't want to be any other way. Totally dedicated. But with time I've gotten better about making time for a social life, friends, and girls
Hope I can balance it all in college, b/c I really want to enjoy college, but want to keep improving myself. Gotta continue the endless pursuit of a bigger, stronger, leaner me.

Deal with it, make the time you need to get your everday shit done and the rest of the time is yours
If your woman thinks you're neglecting her, tell her to train too. She needs to come in 50-50 bro.
I'll I'm saying is make the decisions based on what makes you happy. You only get that one life bro -maximize it!!!!!!

I often find myself wishing I could go out and get trashed with my friends 3 or 4 times a week. But, not gonna happen. On a more positive note for AS, It will be worth it this summer when I'm the one getting looks from all the women.
