percocet/vicodin?

NO NO NO NOOOOOO. Stay away from the happy pills. They are addiction in a pill, bro.

 

[Slyder190]

Poor diet/training/sleep.

 

[sugashane]

Theres several things that may hinder gains. Lack of sleep, not taking in enough water, ect. The same as when not on gear, but just to a lesser extent.

Did he take them? He may have said that just to justify himself taking them. I knew a few guys that said they took them because their shoulder was messed up and to work through the pain. Well a year later they were addictted to them. I've been there and never again!

Dam right it does especially if they know how much of their money you are spending on your body LOL Hows things Tax Man?

 

[nzrodney]

Yes I would agree on that. I have been on 50mg Voltaren (NSAID) for a rotator tear for 3 months. During this time I dropped 6 kgs even though I was on gear & eating 4500-5000cal Ed. I stopped taking them 3 weeks ago & have put on 2.5kg . Definately steriodal drugs like prednisone are catabolic to muscle & there has been an article in MD lately to suggest that EFA's can decrease protein synthesis as well. I guess though, its a trade off esp for older lifters as to whether you lose a bit of growth to being able to train with all the wear & tear that the BBers body has been subjected to over the years.

Thanks for sharing, bro. Some of these bros laugh it off like it could never happen to them. I've seen some tough ass guys go down the drain from booze, needles & pills. I mean - as in dead. Go ahead... pop away.

Not eating properly

 

[Para_Shoot]

That thing about alcohol hindering gains is a load of crap. Me and my buddies drink every weekend and we continue to grow and look good. I can tell you that when I took x pills EVERY fri/sat nite and sometimes on tues nite wen we went out as well, they kept me cut like a mofo. Probably cause of the amphetamines in them. Cut me up more than tren ever did.

bro imagine how big you would have been then without alcohol. There is no doubt that x will help you lose weight and be cut but to me it's not worth whatelse it does to you in the longrun. I know you'll probably say no but I know plenty of people that it messed with their serotonin and they had to get put on meds for it.

 

[milo hobgoblin]

Too much Anti Aromatase.. especially Arimidex.. it greatly reduces androgen receptor density..

 

[advanced-stealth]

Agree.

Poor diet/training/sleep.

+10--at least from mental stress + lack of sleep--not been to the gym in a month (b/c work) and i am certain i am small enough to slip through the grates in the sidewalk

 

[the_alcatraz]

Overtraining, undertraining, not enough sleep, shit diet.

Besides alcohol and AI/SERMS, what hinders gains while on?

stress which leads to elevated cortisol levels will eat a physique like a fucking cancer......ie relationship/marital problems, financial instability...etc.

 

[goku_kakarot77]

stress . thats is so true, i can see me physique turn shitty and shitty by the day when im stressed or depressed

 

[nzrodney]

+1 Stress is one big factor in limiting gains. Question is, how to deal with it if you have huge workloads & the stress of running , in my case, your own business. Answer - sell up. Problem is I had two offers crash in the last 2 weeks, so I'm still stressed LOL. Lifes a Bitch, Then you marry one!
