Killed my 3 year motivation today….
Been lifting for 3 years now went from 150lbs to 205lbs in 3 years now cutting im down to 192..yeah sounds good right well I went to the gym today and my good friend from high school was there back from his first year at college. He never lifted before or anything so I was surprised to see him there. Well needless to say this dude went from prob 160 lbs a year ago to about 190 lbs and SOLID like he looked like a model. I was like man how the hell did you get so jacked and loss so much fat. He told me he has down 3 cycles of roids and is on his 4th now and I just feel like being natty sucks….I work hard I train I eat I take my multi and fish oil and all that progress I did in 3 years and he looks way better than me bc of roids. Just totally killed my motivation today bc I train with my little bro who is 14 and I always teach him not to do roids and now I just am a loser idk complete depression guys hey.. i am originally from jersey…90 percent of the people there that work out juice.. no joke.. Its reached a point where kids that never worked out before, buy hgh before they set foot in the gym.They all come in to college college as scrawny teens and get bulky within a year…Whats my motivation for staying away from that stuff… Look at what these guys look like when they stop juicing. They deflate like balloons. Then they go on more cycles to grow back. They know they’ll never achieve the same muscle growth again if they go natural. If your doing this sport for aesthetic purposes and to be healthy, then there’s no room for any growth hormones. I think if your into the sport and you start juicing before your anywhere near your natural threshold (which takes years), then you have no idea waht your doing.if it ever gets down to an ego thing between you and ur friends that juice, rub it in that your natural and that your body can naturally produce enough testesorone, it ticks juice heads off.. I feel bad for you man, I’m in the same boat. I’m natural as well. And although I have no intention of changing that in the back of my mind is a constant reminder that my progress is slow (been training for a year straight now). And it’s annoying knowing that people can take short cuts and get ahead of me yet invest less time into something that isn’t a priority for them.There’s this guy some of my friends know and they were like « wow trx suspension trainer pro pack, he’s huge, he’s just blown up like crazy since he’s taken steroids » and I’m just thinking like F***k anyone elses hard work is overshadowed by people who have no idea yet take drugs.But, a mate of mine, his dad used to be a professional bodybuilder. And I was asking him a few questions about what he thought of it. And he told me, that he thought taking drugs in the ideal of getting bigger, risking your health over something that 5 years down the track may mean nothing to you, or even worse could kill you. (I know that he was being dramatic), however he told me that a friend of his from back in the day died from cancer, and a good argument was that the particular type of cancer he died from was a catalyst of steroid use. Anyway, I hope this helps shape a positive outlook on being natural. I really respected the thoughts of my friends dad, and also that he was able to admit his previous drug use to me when really I didn’t know him too well. Sure quicker progress would be nice trx home kit, sure being ‘the best’ is what we all want, but the price can be a lot more than just a couple on injections, or a couple of dollars. Bodybuilding is supposed to be a sport displaying health and fitness through visual perceptions of such. Not muscle at the expense of health or fitness. Hope you don’t give up man, I know things like this seriously piss me off sometimes. But I just think of it as building a massive wall, every session is just another brick in the wall. Good luck. I’m all Natural lol I’d like to say thankyou for inspiring me to endeavor harder with my journey. Good luck again. keep your head up brah, the only people they’re cheating are themselves and they have to pay for it in more ways than one for cutting this corner. Wouldn’t feel better at the end of it all when you get there to tell everyone that you got there through blood sweat and tears rather than taking the easy route and juicing it up? There are so many problems that come along with doing steroids..It may not seem fair now but it’s not worth it at all in my opinion. I had two good guy friends who are into , one has a naturally bigger physique and stays natural and the other uses steroids. Needless to say I’m not friends with the one who uses steroids anymore because even though he cycles them, his personality sucks now and nobody wants to be around him trx force kit tactical, he’s honestly SUCH an ******* and we blame a lot of it on the fact that he’s juicing…Also, he may ‘get’ more girls now because of it but he can almost never get a hard on lol. I’ve heard a lot of stories about how mad/upset he gets when girls touch him and he can’t get it up. He’s honestly cried before over it and I’m sure that’s not something you’d want people to know about you. A bit of an exaggeration?Steriods and HGH are nowhere near as prevalent or effective as you make them seem. keep your head up, when someone asks them what supps there taking and they say roids you lose respect from them cause you know its just the riods, it sounds way better and more motivational when someone comes up to you and you say your natty why do you work out in the first place? Is this True Life? I congratulate you on staying natty! Think about it. Be a natty bodybuilder. Stay healthy. Slower gains yes. But like someone else said they deflate. Also, you want small nards? I doubt it! Roid Rage? All for being ripped and lots of attention. Wouldnt you rather EARN IT with pride than know you CHEATED? yeah but now he will probably have tiny « man parts » and male pattern baldness Let him have his shriveled balls and gyno just to look good. I’d rather know I put in work for the results I get than relying on any hgh. It’s like saying « I ran a 4 min mile! I cut across at the halfway mark to do it but I did it!! » You’ll still look good through out the REST of your life while he will only look good RIGHT NOW. Besides, think of how much that just has to cost him if he wanted to maintain that look for a few years??! my friend did a cycle of steroidsbulked up 20lbs trx for sale. He looked huge, he put on 1 inch on his arms, guy looked massive and didnt gain a single lb of fat either in the process. He was rippedhe didnt lift weights for 3 weeks and all of that was gone. Money wasted, time wasted, etc.point is, muscle earned through natural means are yours to keep. I won’t lift weights for 6 months and will lose muscle but can get it back easily in 2 months. Its not the same with roid muscle. They’ll sooner than later regret taking roids. Just put it to him this way.He’s got bigger arms.You’ve got bigger balls.Literally and figuratively. bro’s are strong in this thread Juicing only makes sense if you’re a competitive athlete and your financial life depends on it (including Pro Bodybuilding)But using steroids recreationally is pretty much fukking retarded. I love the way I look and I have NEVER used steroids. I tried some PH’s back in the day and yeah I got results WHILE on them. Then I came off cycle and shriveled back up. Perhaps I was doing them wrong. What I can tell you is that you can obtain a phenomenal physique without the use of drugs.Food is the most anabolic substance you can put in your body. Master your nutrition and you’ll master your body. Think about it like seeing a successful drug dealer. They have the money, the power, but when they get cuaght and lose it all, you’ll be the one laughing. deff lol thanks guys and girls for your input deff helped me out wish i had high rep power to rep you all Dude natural is natural, keep motivate yourself, dont forget side effects of steriods, now you are feeling bad but after some time they will be regret to inform you about their mistake to take roids..When I feel the same as you are feeling, then I use youtube and search steriod side effects… then Its motivate me to keep natural… best of luck and just keep your eyes on the target… wish you best of luck for being natural for a whole life…. ANNNDDD Just to further the general case against juicing for us natty’s buy trx, a little article with a visual about an amateur BB’er from Germany and the Severe acne and pustules. Would I want to risk having that happen to me for muscles? HELL NOClick the Pic to follow to article. It’s fine,I personally have never even THOUGHT of using steroids, even though most of my friends think I do; but that’s not the point.Like everyone said above you, you’re all NATTY. You’re Whole Foods, He’s Mondo-Burger. At the end of the day you go home happy, he goes home with a range of mood swings. You win bruh! Put another 2 years in and you might be 220 and lean. Take steroids and be way bigger than he would have ever been. Those are impressive gains broski, just remember at the end of the day you have acheived more doing this the hard way. At the end of the day too it is only you seeing yourself, if you were happy, dont let this bruiser ruin that. Lets say this guy did gain natural lean and strong muscle. He’s not your competition, you are your only competition. Compare yourself to what you were and you’ll never be disappointed. Don’t be down…this person you describe did it by cheating part of the way to get quicker results. Synthetic chemicals in our bodies…that is beyond unhealthy. YOU did it the right way…Print out that post of the person with severe acne and scars after using steroids…and keep viewing it…you will snap out of feeling down in a hurry! OMG…that pic is frightening…how horrible. Steroids destroy your internal organs over time, too…so, in my eyes…there’s nothing to envy about your friend. Hang in there…and keep doing what you’re doing. Stupid question ….I truly have no clue…does a doctor prescribe steroids…do some body builders get them illegally? How do people buy these things? ^^^ this These pics are heartbreaking. That poor guy! He probably had no idea this would happen to him.
