I wasn’t clean in that 5 year after pic, I was clean however for the 46 lb gain in 2 months. after getting to 222 lbs I tried my first cycle and loved it. Baisically never looking back and going to continue cycling for my entire lifting career. Except once “Health” rather than “Strength” is the final goal, then it’s TRT and ehatever. Maybe some growth and peptides.
I’m not saying my lifts are better than anyones, just to clarify. I’m saying I have endured many set backs and some serious Injuries that never stopped me. When you fall off your horse, you gotta get right back on that slut and tame it.
Thank you for the kind words, the drugs almost took me before 20. Now thinking back on it, and doing what we do, this isn’t really so risky and it is much more rewarding as I’m sure any of you might agree. We have all gone through bullshit to get to where we are, and we all have a lot more bullshit to go through to get to where we are going. But the journey is a learning experience, it teaches dicipline and hard work. No amount of gear can replace work ethic and passion, and that is what the message was about. Learn hard work, be passionate about your sport, then take it to the next level and go right as far as you can.
Personally, I doubt I’ll ever make it to the top of the 230’s, but I will have one hell of a good time giving it every single ounce of blood, sweat and cc’s I have. Skin tearing, capillary popping, burst blood vessles in your eye, ammonia snorting, chalk dusting to the last breath. Lifting is a release that no drug I have ever tried has even come close to, it’s pure freedom
