Alot of great responses in this thread. For me it is all about the look. I love the look of a bodybuilder and work very hard daily to attain it. I am very competitive as well and if I am going to compete in something then I want to be the best. That is where the juice comes in. All my life I worked out in some shape or form. Martial Arts and soccer. I was in great shape but never had the size and look of a BBr. I messed around with AAS mainly test c, when I was 21 and thought I was swole but all I really was was water weight and bloat from too much test. That and not knowing wtf I was doing. Finally I made it my goal to get there no matter what the cost. I started studying and lifting and eating right. After several years of doing this I found EF and started really getting down to the bare bones of how to properly use AAS as a tool to get where I want to be. Now I am 40yrs old and look better than most guys half my age. I have fought through injuries that have required surgery and many other roadblocks. However none of these stopped me from chasing the dream. I will be competing in the Masters division NPC. Alot of hardwork, money and dedication later I am actually starting to like what I see. Oh yeah and alot of damn juice. AAS to me is not cheating. I have to work harder, eat better, and get the proper amount of rest or it is all for nothing. The discipline it takes to do these things, along with the sacrifices made, is not easy. But nothing worth having ever is.
