1) I got tired of walking sub 250 pounds, eating all the food, pushing that much weight on bar. It's fun at first, but day to day life it becomes tiresome after a while.
Even minor things that nobody thinks about like climbing the stairs to 8th floor, while carrying stuff too. Lower back pumps tying up the shoes or doing some monotonous activity like chopping wood. Sweating way more during hot summer days.
Out of breath from walking fast. Talk about running, which I also had to do, I still managed to run 2 miles in 14 minutes, but the after effect was me laying on grass, because I couldn't stand from pumped and sore calves.
I go in to more detail
here post #304.
2) I got handed the opportunity to spice and level up my profession. Being this heavy would be quite difficult to do stunts and athletic stuff, while also swimming (crazy pumps again). Also I got in to acting somewhat at that time and I had to downsize for certain situations.
So it's only natural that I needed to become more like athlete than bodybuilder.
3) I took of course more steroids to be that size, mostly testosterone. I started to worry about my health long term even if on paper (blood work) said everything is fine and ekg and other tests I must do every 6 months showed all good to my surprise. But still, some unsettling feeling was inside me from time to time.
4) I mentioned how long I cruised to show what can be maintained over longer periods of time, if you are serious about your fitness and diet regime of course. So people can stop worrying about holding their mass over longer periods of time on "such a little" testosterone dose.
