That's pretty crazy, i thought you had been lifting longer. Were you naturally strong? Like what were lifts when you just messing around before you started pling

Yeah..naturally strong I think. I pretty much did my first two meets in 2009 without any powerlifting specific training...just lifted weights. My first meet I squatted 455, benched 290, and deadlifted 445? My legs are definitely naturally strong, leg press is dumb and isn't really a test of strength but by my 2nd or 3rd time doing it I had 8 45s on each side and doing it for sets of 10 with "real reps"..not the half ones or whatever people do in gyms

I work for walgreens by the way, in the distribution center. I spend a lot of time in what we call the control room, it is where all the dea controlled drugs are. I see all the different kinds of testosterone in there. Pumps that pump out gel, needles. All kinds of brands. I need to hop on some trt and do some squats.

Get me some vials of testosterone brah. And if someone uses testosterone, it's not called "TRT". TRT is basically: you have low testosterone naturally and you are prescribed a certain dose to bring your levels up to healthy/normal range. When pro athletes are allowed "TRT", I am sure they use well over the prescribed dosage for their training camp and scale back as the fight is coming up so they don't test dirty.

Stay natural and keep your gains.

So you think if yu go on trt and go off you lose them? I kinda figured that happens to a degree. I am not really going to steal vials of trt.

Well, remember as PP said, TRT is pretty much just code for steroids.

And yes, if you were to do steroids to increase strength and add mass, and then you quit, you would definitely notice. I've never done steroids but have researched it a fair amount. And in my opinion the biggest downside is that to keep a large percentage of your gains you have to keep going with it.

If I could hop on for 6 months or something, add 30 lbs of muscle, and then get off but still be able to keep my new muscle by eating and working out I would probably do it. But it doesn't really work that way.

BTW, if you want to watch a really interesting documentary on steroids, download "Bigger, Stronger, Faster."

The two guys that are close to my age at my gym that have gotten on TRT have serious issues. Both of them leaned out almost immediately and got stronger. Then both them started having really bad chest pains and could only roll for a few minutes before going into cardiac arrest, Dan Henderson style. As far as I am concerned, from my anecdotal evidence, the jury is still out on the effects of TRT. Maybe it was all mental, or maybe they used up more oxygen than their lungs can handle by sprinting with their TRT muscles... I don't know. But to hell with that stuff... I feel great as it is. I can't even think about taking steroids unless and until I have maximized what I can do naturally. I sure as hell don't approve of taking them when you are not even trying to work out and stick to a diet.

[edman5555]

yeah I agree with that. Hard work and exercise can take you far. I added a lot of muscle working out up until I quit.

As long as your nutrition is on point--and not even perfect, just enough cals and protein--then you can do a lot naturally.

[MMA_scientist]

Poopoo, what kind of steroids are you taking?

Elephant dick extract.
