    @search... yes, proper nutrition is a must. supps are a great thing but if you do not have proper nutrition then they are a complete waste of money. it is possible to get by without the supps, but nutrition must be spot on. like you said, a good steak will provide you with aminos, however for people like me who do not eat steak (i may have it 1x every other month...i just dont care for red meat), then supps are a positive thing. i will never say supps over nutrition, must have nutrition or else everything else will fail. its great that you are doing well with nutrition alone. Supps are a must for me as I am unable to eat the correct number of meals, i will simply puke up anything over 4 meals...so i must get my nutrients from other various sources. Love that you stated the thing on calves...this drives me nuts when people talk about calves and steroids

    @aso...steroids do not make people angry. this a common mistake that people say...drives me nuts. "roid rage" is a failsafe that many people will just state simply to have something to rely back on. i agree that if you are going to take any injection supps, then you must know what you are doing. i would never recommend steroids to anyone until i know them and how they train. but to say that all test boosters are complete trash...this is not true. i had blood work ran simply to prove this. i would also recommend a test booster to start out with rather than jumping into steroids...this is not something to just do to get bigger. like you said, you must have the mindset and the knowledge to do this type of stuff. I have not done them yet, however I will be doing them here very soon. I have the knowledge and the the mindset to do this stuff right. I have been training for 6 years solid, mind you I am only 22yrs old. BOL in your training, i do not know you nor know what  you do in the gym and your goals...but BOL. steroids are a good thing as long as they are used properly

    didnt see your above post aso.... there are differences in calories man.  there is nothing illegal for people who do not compete. I do not compete and will never compete, i do this stuff simply for fun and because i can, nothing else. and no, like i already said, not all test boosters are complete waste of money and i have complete evidence to this. i will not recommend a test booster or anything along those lines until i know them personally to see how they are on nutrition and training mindset. i was recommending BCAAs...a far distance from test boosters. I was simply stating that I took a test booster and yes it helped...you can deny it all you want but i have proof of it and will stand by it. yes, the industry is able to fool a lot of people because they will believe anything. however that is not me. i am well aware of nutrition and the chemicals in these supplements and i do my own research on something that i am unaware of. yes, taking steroids simple to "become the king of the village" is retarded, however this is not the case for me. i didnt start getting big simple to impress people or to give out advice. its something i wanted to do for myself and thats it. and like is said, i will never compete because that is not me.  i dont need to be put up against other people to promote myself or be compared to. i compare myself to myself..the mirror is my judge.

    Well thats a totally difference situation then, but for most people they shouldnt worry too much about throwing money after BCAA, but of course if u're having trouble getting your meat / meals then it's not a bad solution, but for most people they would do better without throwing money after these products. Thats why i wouldnt just recommend it blindly to anyone out there. You see many people spending too much time focusing on supps instead of keeping focus on simple and good diet.

    I havent seen a test booster that resulted in a negative doping test yet. Only if its a test booster that doesnt work. Again the point here is, MOST people would do better saving their money instead of throwing them after toy roids.


    Well, Steroids will not make you aggresive 24/7, but it will have an effect, and it depends on who you are. It wont make you a psychopat. But, steroids is an "emotion-pusher" and that is why the wrong people should never get in touch with this. It's an evil circle. Mostly, because, many of the "Thugs" are the "aggresive" ones (not judging) and when they get in contact with roids it will be even worse because of testosterone, if you add the fact that they drink alcohol all the time as well then this is not a good cocktail if you wanna stay calm. But for the right people they will probably not be that much more aggresive, and they wont have the "roid-rages" as people state, atleast not as much. I agree that the downsides of roids are totally overblown, no reason to neclect with them tho.


    BOL with your training as well.

    Depending on what kind of juice you take, most of them make you sleepy and include headaches.

    If you up the bar then you might run into a bout with insomnia that will not go away for weeks.

    One cc of quality Deca for 6 weeks is plenty. Especially if your body takes to it and ya have genetics, solid gfoundation and at least 5 years of training behind you.

    one i will be on is straight and simple for the first go around, not trying to go full bloat on these things. especially to start with and see how my body adjust to it. right now the plans are 500 Test E (2 pins/week). PCT: Nolva and Clomid. Still looking at HCG either throughout or a blast phase during weeks 10-14. not trying to overdo it nor run my bank to the pits

    no bars for me, i dont drink. and been training since I was 16. switched from power to actually size about 2 1/2 yrs ago.
