I Wanted To Give An Update On My Transformation And Expand On Some Of The Photos I Posted A Few Years

I wanted to give an update on my transformation and expand on some of the photos I posted a few years ago in the same format.

I also wanted to take some time to explain more concretely how steroids played a part in my growth.

I did my first “cycle” when I was around 24. I managed to get a vial of (I think) Test E 200. I was told to inject .5ml twice a week. However, the source neglected to explain how to inject or proper protocol. He had given me one 18g needle and syringe. I proceeded to draw the test and inject myself with the same needle for like 4 weeks.

I had HUGE bruises on my quad from the trauma of injecting with a too-large blunted tip. For those who don’t know, you’re supposed to draw the compound from the vial with an 18g, then change tips to 23/25g needle, and inject. Then you dispose of both needles and syringe and get fresh ones for the next injection.

Needless to say, that cycle ended abruptly because I just couldn’t inject myself anymore.

A few years later, I moved to SF. For the first year I used some oral steroids (prohormones) and some SARMS. Neither helped much. After I started dating a meathead, I was able to learn from him what to do, and started building real cycles (Test + steroid for 10-12 weeks, followed by post cycle therapy).

After a few cycles like this, I said fuck it and decided just to stay on all the time. I wasn’t seeing the kind of growth I wanted and my weight (and moods) would fluctuate every time I off-cycled.

I started doing more of a blast-and-cruise method. My gains stayed more consistent, and I didn’t have to deal with crippling depression every 4 months. Between 2013 (190lbs) and now is where you can really see some growth. Around 2015 (205lbs) is when I decided to stop off-cycling.

Anyway. The moral here is:

1) If you’re a twinky ectomorphic guy, and you just want to get fit, steroids aren’t really necessary. Good diet and lifting for a few years will do the trick.

2) If you’re still not happy, and you want to have more bawdy-awdy-awdy, try steroids and do a few cycles. See how you feel about it. Permanent damage is unlikely with a few cycles and it’s no worse than any of the other experimental drugs you use in your youth.

3) If you’re still not happy, decide if you can handle some of the dangers and inconveniences of extended steroid usage. Inability to travel anywhere for more than a few weeks. Possibility of permanent testosterone production loss. Heart growth. Cancer danger. Apnea. Hair loss. General puffiness. Blah blah blah.

Above all, if you’ve never done gear before, talk to someone knowledgeable. Have them pin with you. Ask questions about what the substances are and what they do. Don’t talk to a meathead who can’t explain what the different kinds of testosterone are. Find someone that sounds more researched. Keep asking questions until you feel really confident about what you’re doing, and keep checking in with that person.
