"Bros",
Sure, the strength increases are nice. The motivation to get to the gym is a bit more enticing. Seeing faster results is fun. Hitting more on squat and bench is a measurable result.
But come on. They guys on this board that respect bodybuilding and hold it dear to them also know what real bodybuilding is about. It is not about juicing. It's about a commitment you make to better your physique, and in turn, better yourself. I started bodybuilding (it was actually "just lifting weights" back then) my junior year in college. Now, 60 ALL-NATURAL pounds later (40 lbs of lean mass) I've realized that my physique development will never stop. I love bodybuilding. It's what I live for. Becoming more proportional and bigger is what i think about everyday when I'm not busy. I plan my vacations around it. I plan my weekends around it. I plan who I hang out with and who I talk to around it. I can honestly say bodybuilding got me through college with great grades and 2 degrees and made me focus on goal setting.
I began using juice about 8 months ago. I don't care if I'm on cycle or off. I am just as motivated to get my pump. That what my whole week revolves around. Getting my pump each day and feeling spent. Mentally and physically. Juice is something I am learning to use to help me achieve the goals I have for myself. That's what bodybuilding is supposed to be about.
But I join this board and hear guys talking about juice like it is what makes bodybuilding. To me, juice is about 10% of how I am going to be the best heavyweight in Colorado. It's a financial committment and that's it. The rest is all me. My heart, and my determination. I know I can't get the mass at my age without gear. I know I can't get as cut as i have to be without it. It's just a tool I am using to get me where i want to be.
But I will use this board as a tool in assistance with my goals, and learn from you more experienced guys. I will close my eyes and ears to those of you who "don't like your pump when you're not on".
Of course, this is just my opinion.
