Whats more important to you? health or being lean/big

[i2brew]

Not really willing to risk big. Now I am on the slow and steady track to see how far I can get. I am not competting but am trying to reach a certain look for me.

I ran xc and track since 8th grade and was fairly good at it - but I always hated being the skinny kid. I had like zero bodyfat (for awhile I had to go to the doc and they said they hadn't see it that low - but damn was I cut!), but I wasn't happy with my size - I was little.
then I graduated college and was lazy and got really out of shape.
so I worked my ass off and went from 140-155 or so to 190-195 all clean and natural.
then I did a few cycles and got up to 220 (I'm 6'3") and I was pleased.
then I've since come down due to workload at... well, work. I couldn't eat as much or go to the gym and was under much stress.
I'm not back down to 190 and I feel that this is probably the most healthy weight for me. my endurance is still decent, and my sprinting is the best its ever been.

In my mind I still felt really small at 220, but now that I'm at 190 and I look back at pictures of myself bigger, I see the difference- just can't see it in the mirror. interesting what the brain sees.

now I get many compliments on the shape I'm in - before I just had people saying "holy shit you got big - you ate the old HappyScrappy" - and I thought that was good, but I think where I'm at now is better.

that said, I think I'll likely go back on sometime eventually, but with heavy anti-ests to reduce the bloating, and lower doses for less time...

I plan to be big, lean and healthy. Big meaning 6' 225-230 @ 7% bf. Right now just 6' 205 9% bf, done 1 cycle.

At first I thought I wanted to be a monstrous freak like Flex Wheeler or Ronnie Coleman until I read an article with Flex. Of course you all know he's like 5ft. 10in. and weighs close to 300lbs. I don't know his exact stats. Whatever, he's huge. He tells of his struggles being that size, (can't breathe well, has trouble bathing himself, has to put a pillow between his legs at night so his circulation isn't cut off). I don't know about y'all, but that's not for me. Right now I'm about 6ft. 4in. and weigh 203lbs. with about 7-8%bf. I'd like to be around 225 or so and I'll be happy. But, to each his own. Whatever makes you happy, I say go for it! You only live once. Peace

I am 5'10, 195.
I would like to be 230 at 5%.
I am about 12%. I will do what it takes to get there. That is all that needs to be said.

This is a very interesting debate Jenn. Personally...I know that I could realize my goals without supplements but I find that they help me to focus and carry on with my fitness goals.

My main goals right now are to continue putting on size naturally (never done a cycle). I am a little over 6ft 1in and am dieting right now. I'm currently at 220lbs from 240 and this is the leanest 220 I have ever been. I'm planning on geting down to about 210 or 215 and staying there for a while as I continue to add more size naturally. My ultimate goal is to be at about 215 naturally with around 6 or 7% bf. Then I plan on trying a few cycles and see if I like it or not. I think by the the time I reach 215 at 6 or 7% bf (naturally) then I will see some nice increases from doing some cycles. The way I look at life is that you only regret the things you never try. I just don't want to ever look back and say,"damn I wish i had tried a cycle just to see what it could have been like." The cycles I do plan on are at small dosages and are geared towards keeping my health intact along with regular blood tests through my doctor. No way would I ever do this without getting the bloodwork done.
