I think you have a good question. Only you can give the answer. I am several years older than you and it was a tough question for me as well. I' m like you in my training except I never quit completely. I train hard for 6 mos. and take 3 easy mos. I am glad I have used because I have been able to reach goals I had never made before. Yiou will have to consider whether you are married have kids or the chance of your employer finding out. I know most do not test for aas but if you have a good job and some dick higher on the chain has it in for you things could change. If you do use be careful and as safe as possible don't let anyone know. Attribute all gains to work and diet. Good luck. DB3
