Thats a fucking monster of a cycle!!
In the past i'd stay on year round, never had any health issues, but it was nearly always test cycles, with some primo now and again, and winnies coming upto summer. If it's test only for many years, and assuming the dose is low, then it's pretty much the same as HRT/TRT.

None for me. My last bloodwork was around January and I was 315lbs. My liver enzymes were a tad high, but I just got off A50 so it was to be expected. My BP was a tad high, but I had taken ephedrine that day and just finished training about an hour earlier. I'm 280 now and haven't gone over 600 mgs/week since, so I can only imagine I'm doing better. I surely feel better lighter and I'll never weigh more than I do now ever again. I'm 40 yrs old and have been "on" pretty much 18 yrs straight with a month off here and there(mostly due to lack of availability of decent quality gear in the 90's). About 2 yrs back I went off for 6 months. It wasn't so bad, but it took me a good 18 months to feel big again. Ironically I incurred my 1st serious injury last July-a pec tear. I'm no longer a member of the 500+ bench club, and aside from a noticeable indentation in my armpit/pec area when I do a most muscular pose, I really haven't lost much thickness. I train chest with dumbells and/or machines and don't go over 80lbs. Something I find to be strange is that I rarely get sick. I haven't had a cold in well over a year. How many guys half of my age can say that? I'd also like to say that the majority of the years I've been using I used 500mgs/wk tops. There were a 3-4 years I used higher mgs when competing. Even then I rarely used orals and never took T3. If I had to describe my diet over the past 20 years of serious training it could best be described as 70% clean. I drink a gallon of water daily and I think I've drank 30 beers total in the past 6-7 years. I'm a regular weed smoker though(shame on me). I tan too much and I've dipped snuff on and off since age 14. I'd also like to add that I'm not exactly sure what my deal is. Either I used responsibly? or I'm just lucky? Or maybe a bit of both??? Who knows? I could have a stroke or heart attack 5 minutes from now. Knock on wood that I don't.
The way I grew up I never expected to live past age 30. I've been shot at many times. I've been stabbed with a knife and had bottles busted over my head. I even got bit in the leg by some redneck with brown teeth(human bites are way more dangerous than dog bites). I've probably been in more bar brawls as a bouncer than Jenna Jameson has had loads shot in her face. I've done every recreational drug except for heroin and drove drunk(in my late teens/early 20's) many times without ever getting a DUI. I've never even been in a car crash. I've road sportbikes since age 20 and in spite of doing wheelies and hitting 200mph + on the freeway quite often, I've never crashed. I probably have over 300K miles logged on bikes over the years-but have only held a valid drivers license about 15 years of the 24 I've had one. lol With all of this being said, I look at each day I've lived after 30 as a gift. I've banged just under 100 chicks and had 2 girls at once about 20 times, so if I died before the end of this post I'd still consider myself coming out ahead.
Damn, just typing all of this crazy shit out in one post has really made me think about just how lucky I've been. Therefore I don't recommend that anyone tries to do what I've done. For some reason I don't think my death will be quick. After cheating death so many times I can only hope that I don't die from some drawn out terminal illness. Fuck. I may have jinxed myself with this post. You can bet I'll be looking both ways 2x before I cross the street from now on.

Good stuff Cracker. So do you live in the Cracker state - ie - are you really a cracker?
If so maybe I'll buy you a beer some day. That'd make it 31 beers.
BTW, I know exactly what you mean about the tear. My bench went from 500 lbs to about 50 lbs in half a second. I never got surgery, that was a couple of years ago and my bench is just getting back to a respectable level.
Peace bro.

Closest thing to being neutered as I've ever experienced me thinks. As a bodybuilder I always felt strength didn't matter much but being able to load up 405 on the bench and do 10 reps was a pretty fucking cool feeling. I won't even attempt 315 these days since it was the weight I was doing when my pec tore. I can still do 225 for 10 pretty effortlessly though. lol

The biggest problem I have encountered is injury,
First part of this year I was hindered by sore shoulders and elbows, corrected that and then tore the triceps off my humerous and snapped the biceps tendon.
Post operative about 2 months and just getting back into the gym.

Hey BigCracker, from your post it appears you have been on pretty much non-stop since you were 22. My question is, have you used HCG regularly throughout that time, or did you even have access to hcg back then?
I ask because I started feeling a little crappy towards the end of my cycle, though I feel that I was using too much aromasin and suppressing my estrogen levels too much.
I know that HRT involves more than just adequate test levels. Estradiol and LH and fsh need to be healthy as well.
How have you felt and what have you done to feel good while on for really long periods of time? How did you keep your nuts healthy?
Thanks.

Big-
sounds like you're on borrowed time. You're still healthy cause your still young. Be careful in your 50s cause thats when the problems will rear their ugly head.
Keep the diet clean and the mgs low and maybe lose some bodyweight to give your heart a break and you should be fine.

LOL. I heard the same things from guys in my 20's and 30's. Keep in mind that my lifestyle is not that of the typical guy my age. I don't have a wife or kids to stress me out and I'm pretty well off financially. I'm self employed so I don't ever haver to worry about getting fired or outsourced either. I've never worked more than about 30 hrs a week since age 25. As far as losing weight goes, I'm probably around 11% bf or less. I weighed 215 lbs at age 18 and was pretty lean so I'm probably genetically gifted to carry a higher than avg bodyweight to begin with. However I do plan on dumping another 20lbs in the near future. I keep putting it off because I know that I can do it at will. After so many years of being so obsessed with my appearance, it's nice not caring soo much about it anymore. I even used to be too embarassed to buy anything unhealthy to eat. I actually used to care what the checker at the grocery store would think! LMFAO! I'll heed your advice about the big 5-0. As I stated earlier, I never expected to live to be as old as I am in the 1st place. That doesn't mean I wanna die prematurely. If I make it to 60 I'll have outlived both of my parent's lifespans. Needless to say their day to day lives were a lot shittier than mine and their midwestern diets sucked ass.
As far as the low mgs go, I'll be doing more of the same. I don't look that much better on 3K/mgs a wk than I do on 300mgs/wk to justify the expense or risks anyway. Oh no-my chest!!! I think it's the big one...Nope, just gas I guess? If I joke about it, it won't happen right? lol

Actually HCG was pretty easy to get since I started. I've always been under the impression that regularly using it and kick starting my natty test levels only to have them shut down again cuz I never go off did more harm than good. I could be wrong though??? Maybe someone else could give an opinion on this.
As far as anti e's go, I only use them pre contest and if I felt the reason to use them(excessive bloat, nip sensitivity). Until a few yrs back all I had access to was Nolva anyway.
As far as how I feel goes, as long as I kept my weight under 300lbs I never really felt that bad. Being heavy made day to day stuff like climbing stairs and getting off the couch a task. I'd usually get sick of it and diet it off after awhile.
As far as my nuts go, they've never been much of a concern. When I took that 6 months off a couple years back they dropped and almost seemed like a nuisance. I like small nuts. They make my cock look bigger. lol As far as boner probs, I never really had many aside from the usual performance anxiety I'd get once in awhile from being with a new chick or multiple chicks at once. lol I used to have a fear of losing it altogether so I had this use it or lose it mentality. Once Viagra came out on the Rx market I quit worrying about it. I don't even "need" pussy anymore as I met my personal lifetime's quota of lays many years ago. I still like it plenty though.
It's actually kinda nice not having my cock rule my life so much anymore. In fact I pass up a lot of opportunities to get laid cuz I don't like the risks associated with it like catching HIV or getting some tramp prego.

It's tough to say since I haven't been in contest shape for so long. My bodyweight is still up there. People still freak out on my appearance wherever I go even though I always wear sleeves that cover my arms past the elbow and shorts to the knee. I still get asked if I compete and people spit the dreaded "S" word at me as I walk by so I must not be too much of a pencilneck these days? The only real difference is my lifts. I go a lot lighter on everything-which seems to have brought out my vascularity that much more.
Lets see...
tore pec (surgery)
bad left knee (surgery x2)
Weakened tendon in right bicep (wish it would tear so I can have surgery on it)
Lower back issues (worse than anything else above when it acts up)
My juice days are probably done. I'm a lot happier (and healthier) at 225 than a few years ago at 250-260.

Not bragging. I have male stripper friends that put my numbers to shame. The truth is most guys will never come close to meeting their desired personal lifetime quota of lays whether it's 100 or 1000. This is why most commited/married guys will never pass up a free piece of ass if they're pretty sure they can get away with it w/o getting caught.
I'd also like to say that I agree about not settling. I think way too many guys live their lives to please their friends and relatives and not to please themselves.

Yep, just train peeps these days. I owned a very successful escort service throughout my 30's and lived the baller lifestyle. It wasn't as glamorous as it sounds. I could write for hours about the shit I saw in this chapter of my life alone. Charlie Sheen was a regular client as well as quite a few other celebs. In spite of the big $$$, I managed unmanageable people, dodged numerous legal bullets, and had to hide what I did for a living from 99% of people I came in contact with. I told most people I inherited $$$ when my folks died when they really never left me shit. The last thing I needed was some jealous prick or some morality nazi causing me probs. Remaining on the down low is how my biz survived in an industry where most businesses like mine last under 6 months. After awhile I got sick of all the drama and went back to training people like I did in my 20's. Even though I gave up my Mercedes, my baller house, and a few other material things, I'm much happier now living the simple life. It's nice not having to rely on others to make $$$.

No such luck bro. I live in a nazi state where getting busted with a pipe w/ thc residue is a felony. 1st offense is usually dropped to a misdemeanor, $1000 fine, $500 court costs, 2 years probation including completion of a 2 yr drug screening program. Even a roach or 1/2 gram of stems and seeds will get you the same thing. Over an Oz will easily get a 1st timer a felony w/o a good criminal lawyer and even then the whole ordeal will cost around $5K-$10K to get charges reduced.
Do you have to be a Cali Resident to get one? Maybe I can move in with you to get residency and an Rx and still live here? lol
I cut back quite a bit from my younger days. I only puff hydro in a glass waterpipe. I wouldn't smoke mexi brick if it was given to me for free. Blueberry and Purple Kush are my faves. White Widow is good too.

Ex pimp. lol I've only mentioned that a few times ever online, but it kinda explains a lot about my past so hopefully it offers some credibility to me streetwise rants.
Nobody ever believes this, but my girls never touched their clients and my biz was licensed and legal. Other businesses like mine were completely the opposite. My girls hustled clients out of their cash w/o giving them anything more than a nude dance, resulting in a lot of pissed off clients. If they had a poblem they got to talk to the 200-300lb cagefighter gorilla waiting outside that was making 20% of whatever the girl made, so needless to say refunds weren't given often. Clients would often pull knives and guns. In these cases we'd press charges and the employees would be stuck making statements to cops for hours-resulting in more lost appointments and money.
The only real pimpin I did was pimpin' myself. I worked very few hours but was at the mercy of my phone 24/7. Cops were always trying to set my girls up and rival businesses would do anything they could to fuck me up. My phone lines outside my office were cut regularly and my office and employee's cars windows were broken often too. Disgruntled ex-employees would make regular death threats and I never could go anywhere without my gun. Everyday I had to watch for the curve ball.
Additionally, advertising was very expensive and I always had to pay a month in advance. This meant I could never really fire anyone on the spot, even if I caught them stealing or fucking off. If I did I'd be faced with having more appointments than girls/drivers to run them and lose my a$$ even worse. Then after a few weeks I'd find people to replace them and let them go for shit I caught them doing weeks earlier. They hated the fact that they had been caught and instead of me letting them know on the spot, I would wait patiently until they were replaced to shitcan them. Therefore I'd wind up getting restraining orders against them for making death threats, etc. Then they'd go work for my competitors and give up my business secrets, advertising dispersement, etc. Like I said earlier, it wasn't nearly as glamorous as it sounds.

Although still a member of the Kiss Army, I have been quite soured by Gene. He is way too much the quintessential republican. Gotta give the guy props on the pussy and keeping the moneymachine rolling after all these years.
