how far are you from Santa Cruz? I am trying to get there in like a year and a half or so to go to school.

but haha I totally get you, its always smaller looking on the beach...like "oh shit yeah I can do that!"

then when its pounding on your head it looks sooooooo big 8o

no worries about drugs. I am completely drug free now. Not even smoking marijuana anymore. Feels real good for once in my life to be free from everything.
 
Sweet, Santa Cruz is awesome. I'm about 2.5 hours away. The closest school to me is Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.

Congrats on sobriety, it does feel good. Also, glad to see you are in such high spirits, welcome back :)

no bro I ended my cycle a few weeks ago. Last shot was about 20 days ago now. Its completely gone out of my system now and I am natural again. I feel my equanimity returning and I feel my awe and wonder and care toward life returning. I've been a little emotional lately (in a good way, I'm very sensitive again to the painful beauty that is life). I don't regret running my cycle though even if it made me into a person that I did not really like. I burned about 5 pounds of fat and gained 20 pounds overall (so about 25 pounds of lean mass). Thats in 3 months. It was sick bro, downright sick.

The only thing that sucks is I have zero sex drive now. Like, zero. I'm only maintaining my lifting now too which kinda sucks. Hopefully once I get a little more time natural my sex drive will come back and my gains on the bar will start happening again.
 
lol PI is pissed at me now

I'll let you in on a little secret though. The steroids don't lift the weights for you ;)
 
800m warm-up
10 x 100m sprints
800m cool-down

more or less a rest day. just wanted to get in some leg-turnover work to get the heart-rate up a bit.

Steroids?

By "bodybuilding vitamins", I meant stuff like creatine, glutamine, fish oil, etc.

Lol, but in all seriousness...I have a tendancy to take everything a bit too far. I just started lifting again about 7 weeks ago, as something to pass the time while kicking opiates. Already, I'm taking about every legal substance known to man. And after the gains stop coming, I'm sure I'll hit the juice.

OCD sucks, man.
 
well elevating your testosterone levels, has this big stigma. Like people are very disappointed/nervous about it. The fact is that it can be done very safely with modern post-cycle drugs and support ancillary drugs. There's nothing super-magical about steroids, they definitely don't just magically add muscle mass to your body. Basically they allow you to eat further past maintenance than you would have been able to naturally, and still not accumulate fat. So, if you could bulk naturally 200-300 calories above maintenance per day and not gain much fat over 3 months, then if you ran a half gram of test per week you could easily do 500-600 calories above maintenance and still not gain much fat. So, it roughly doubles the amount of muscle you can gain during a given window. But, it doesn't do any work for you (diet or lifting wise). It just shuttles more protein into your muscles than would be otherwise (that would have been stored as fat if you were natural).

I sort of wish steroids didn't have such a bad stigma attached to them...because they are not the magic bullet that they are sometimes made out to be.

It's when you adjust the speed of your run in intervals (run fast for x mins, slow down for x mins, repeat cycle until run is over) We used to do that for XC.
 
^yeah - it's swedish for "speed play." i basically just throw random speed intervals (of different pace and distance) into an otherwise easy run.
 
^great stuff. I unwittingly discovered it recently. I realized instead of running my usual course around the park it's great fun to zig-zag around randomly, through rough terrain, up hills and down stairs, sprinting and slowing down as I feel like it.

My routine today:

ab crunches, ab wheel

back hyperextensions

bench dips

dumbbell rows, Australian pull-ups
