Thanks for taking the time to reply to my message, I appreciate it. Although testosterone has not much bad effects when under 500mg / week I do not plan on overdoing it. But for me trying new things is exciting, I’d rather try than to always wonder and regret it.
For me the test is for overall health, because I know for sure that my test levels are not above average. I’m not insecure about the way I look, but I like to see transformations. I also live a super strict life in terms of routines and I’d like the test to have the energy to full out expand my focus on all parts… not just training.
As mentioned before I have my own marketing business which I’d like to focus on. To juggle this with a family, training, nutrition and work is a lot to handle. Not saying It’s impossible to do it all naturally. But I like the feeling of having an edge with my rituals.
I believe that if I do this in a smart way I will most likely not have permanent sides, especially not with test only. But sure nandrolone alone could shut down my libido for an extended period of time. But this is not the case.
I guess some part of it is connected to my ego, not gonna lie. But the overall picture is to enhance my overall performance in life.
By the way, love that you’re deciding to lift naturally and crush it that way. Respect!
Yeah I’m not that strong on the compounds, I’ve always tried to stay away from heavier weights on these lifts simply because I’ve problems with my lower back.
And to be completely honest I don’t want super bulky muscles because of my small frame. Always have been more for higher reps than lower (6-10) so strength has never been the goal over muscle. Even though I know that progressive overload is essential…
Hey @lammgard, physique-wise, I’d say you’re doing great. Vascular with an obviously “look like you lift” physique. For your size, your lifts are decent as well.
I’m not here to comment on your supplement use, as that is outside my wheelhouse. Just stay safe man, you have a daughter that needs her Dad around for a long time, so just be careful with your drug use.
You seem to have a good attitude and have been receptive of the comments and criticism offered to you, so I respect that. Cheers.
At first i lifted because I was tired of being skinny, and no I didn’t get bullied for it lol (classic). Then I started really enjoying it, like being at the actual gym and reaching goals.
I always wanted muscles as a kid too haha
Right now I am considering to compete within a few years. I love the gym!
Props for sticking to reasonable dosages, You’re not going full retard like those guys who use 700mg tren weekly on a first cycle… You’ll probably lose about 15-20 lbs when you come off
Why are you assuming the 1.5 years doesn’t include that 10 weeks?
And how are you overlooking the fact a 20 year old who hopped on gear without it being a medical necessity just posted a ‘progress takes time’ picture?
C’mon dude. Don’t be blind to this stuff. I don’t judge people’s moral compass from the decisions they make, but I don’t have a problem calling out stupid shit either.
I’m assuming it because in his current progress pics he looks far more jacked than the 1.5 year transformation
Perhaps he took those pics before he hopped on, the current pics are on cycle? I didn’t notice he was 20, that entirely slipped my mind… I should clarify he is on low dosages, it’s nowhere neay as bad as many of the 23-27 year olds who use retard doses, but people turn a blind eye because they’ve reached an arbitrary age bracket
That being said, when I think of twenty I always think of an individual being significantly older and more mature than I… I’m not sure why this is, probably because that’s the designated bracket for no longer being a teenager. Given that I’m nineteen, I still lump myself within the teenage category, anyone 20+ is suddenly an adult… it’s a flawed perception to have, and I do believe many adults even, 30+ behave in ways more childish than most kids… but there’s still that engrained perception to me of “oh, he’s not a kid anymore”… but when I think of the fact that in a mere 10-11 months I’ll no longer be a kid… this is a very scary thought to me… I started having fun later than most kids, what if it’s over now? I’m sure that won’t be the case, college should be fun… but I’m going into a fairly study intensive.
I can’t help but still have this perception given many have said to me “I had the most fun in my teens”… if my teens were to be the best portion of my life… that’d be incredibly sad…
He had a decent physique to begin with, but idk why he’s using gear to post progress pics… that’s… dumb… using gear to seek validation from other online peers absent of a sponsorship/making money doesn’t make sense
For generalised recreation would be a far more sensible reason
