I can't tell here if you are fucking with me. You do not look like somebody green in your pics. You look like you have been at it for a while in your pics.
If this is true, and you are not messing with me, then you must respond really well.
A direct correlation? Not the way you asked with with keeping calories the same. You have to have the food present to grow.
But there is definitely a size-dose relationship for me. I won't pretend to be an expert and speak for anybody else. When natty (all my life almost) I reached a point where more calories only made me fatter. Less calories made me leaner, but I maxed out on size and strength (indeed, I slowly began losing over time due to age and declining testosterone). It was very frustrating for years.
Once I discovered hormones, things changed. With hormones, I have not run any crazy cycles, but I have not found a point where upping the dose did not give me increased size.
I do eat to support growing, though, so I am not talking about same calories just double steroids as your hypothetical asks, and I would not advise anybody to do that.
But you have already surpassed me, and this old body is not going to surpass you at this point no matter what I do, so if I were you I would be very cautious in listening to too much about anything I have to say on the subject. It looks like you are well on your way already.
First thank you for your input and kind words. Both mean a great deal.to me.
I will be totally honest with you, aside from highly sporadic use here and there I am on my first legit cycle.
First off I have or had needle phobia. Something about Milos Sarcev nearly dying left a permanent "uh oh" in my.mind. Im terrified of needles to begin with so the story of him nearly dying makes the process a hundred times worse. I hallucinate I think the needle.is going to snap.off in my body requiring surgery etc.
2nd Ive tried to take bodybuilding serious many times and failed again and again. Some kind of mental block like its not exactly easy to accept that hey, I might actually be kinda good at this. All you hear is bbing is a pipe dream and having the genetics like winning the lottery. So i would get a few shots in and see changes in the mirror freaky changes that nobody would believe. Get scared or self destruct whatever you call it and fall apart.
Then came cocaine and meth followed. I tried over the years 30 attempts to get sober. 30 attempts i tried and failed but this year the 31st attempt I succeeded. My eyes are tearing up even writing this. 14 years of my life are gone man. Right now I have 4 months clean and its a dream come.true.
The size I have is mostly my foundation i built over a decade of dedicated training drug free. From the time I was 14 until mid late 20s. I think i was 26 when I started using cocaine.
When I got sober this year I had some test and tren i bought last year during failed attempt #30 and when I started I was close to 230 without drugs. Thats my foundation. Im always preaching put in the work before steroids and no one knows why. Thats why. I was 40 and recovering from meth addiction and my foundation was still there. It will always be there.
So i hopped on tren and test and not much happened at first. I was missing most of my shots and meals not taking it too serious. I got 5 kits from opti and gear from Trips and i dunno what happened but i looked in the mirror one day and say "You can do this"
Also something changed when I realized my sport was sliding downhill. Bodybuilding needs a worthy champion and I looked at the most recent pro shows and thought "hey I think I can beat these guys" so I went all out. I grew up, acted like this mattered because it does to me. It fucking sucks to see my sport in the shape that its in. Everyone thinking.drugs are the answer. The physiques onstage.get weaker and weaker. Modern.bodybuilding seems to revolve around drugs and sitting on one machine or another. What happened to hard work? And when these guys retire they evaporate into thin air (pun intended) why? No foundation.
My meals fell in line my training went back 20 years and I trained like I was a skinny nerd who used to get bullied and beat up at school..I think age is a factor im the type of person who performs nest under pressure. That cuts both ways tho, without it I have no desire.
I gained like 30+ lbs in 2 or 3 months recently. I guess all things considered its what you wod expect. Im my mind it was supposed to happen. I put in the work and the diet, the gains were supposed to be insane. Because I did it the right way.
