I started using 30 yrs ago, only wished I had maybe one more yr of natty training in hindsight. I took about 13 yrs off from 1991-2004, then got the itch again and been on since w/up to 5 months breaks at times.
After experimenting w/time on is time off and can see the potential benefit of clean receptors but since I'm taking moderate dosages and am making progress on fat loss/muscle gains, I decided to stay on after a very brief break. So been on since late July 2012 and intend on for a while

Been doing cycles since 1981. Still hitting various cycles to this day. Regrets? Plenty, but too late now. I got
Type 2 Diabetes at age 47, I also have Heart Disease. Lastly, from all the heavy dead lifting I am now scheduled
for back fusion surgery. By the way, I am 55 years old now. Want to hear more issues I've been thru? Okay,
I tore my tricep tendon off the elbow, arthroscopic knee surgery, and hernia surgery. I started competing in BB
in 1980 and did a stint of powerlifting in the late 80's. I do plan on competing in BB as soon as I recover from surgery-
next summer, maybe. If I could go back and do things differently would I change anything? Yes, train smarter PERIOD.

I sure don't regret it, and I wish I knew then what I know now, too. I would have ruled high school with an iron fist, lol.
This is really true! Even the younger women are very impressed. Had a girl feel my arm up at my last sales meeting commenting with her boyfriend within earshot that there was nothing wrong with "appreciating a fine built man."

I haven't been traiing as long as you have but even over the last 5 years of actual training I regret trying everything under the sun and not doing my own research and not worry about just being strong.

I don't regret it, it took me from 5'11" 129lbs yeah it was bad, to 5'11" 220lbs, I started overseas at the age of 19, I wish I knew then what I know now, but I've always been pretty conservative when it comes to doseage and cycles. So, far I'd say I've done well, I think I've managed it well, and I hope to continue. I never wanted to step on stage, I just wanted to not be 129lbs, my max bench was 70lbs, ha ha, last week my last set was 325lbs. I'm 37 now, so yeah I took it slow, but no torn muscles, no joint problems, no injuries whatsoever. And people treat me a lot different now than they did when I was 129lbs... Ha ha.

Dude, i TOTALLY regret using!
I TOTALLY regret using.. Here's what I think about steroids: They make you a certain kind of asshole.. you get really dominant.. really male/aggressive.. when you're one of the guys on it, you get real agro.. everything's about projecting masculinity and staying up on the dominance scale.. I can usually tell I'm dealing with a steroids guy (or hi-test guy) if they get real "power trippy".. when I was on them, you do stuff like: if someone cuts you off in traffic, you turn into a bull, veer around speed ahead of them and hit the breaks.. and say "YOU GO WHEN I SAY YOU GO MUTHA FUCKA!!! YOU SIT DOWN YOU PEE!".. shit like that.. my fiance broke up with me when i did them.. oh yeah, and people who are on alot of them will likely reply to this with shit like "Why dont you call the Waah-mbulence!" "Pussy.." or "sounds like someone's coming cold turkey OFF steroids hahah" etc.. stuff like that.. they really wanna stay up.. on the plus side of them you do feel kinda "up" and secure in an un-natural way.. your blood pressure shoots way up.. i got feet like like little water balloons.. your neck inflates and makes you look like a bull.. all those pro-wrestlers from the 80's WWF died of heart attacks by about 50.. they fucking suck.. they work kinda like bully dogs in the dog park.. one bully dog (like a guy on steroids) encounters another one.. makes them feel inferior.. then the bullied dog wants to bully another or not feel inferior.. so they take steroids too (ok bad analogy) but.. thats pretty much what happened with me.. you see these tough assholes who kinda bully you or act superior, you get sick of it, want to be dominant (at least in my case) and you shoot that stuff.. just be prepared for lots of facial hair, maybe balding, maybe boobs.. maybe loose skin or no natural test when you're done.. maybe heart attack or stroke before age 50.. oh yeah, and for your wife to leave you cause you turn into a bulging eyed, sex crazed, Mr Hyde "SUCK MY DICK BITCH" or some slight lean toward that direction.. its a disaster.. but if you're on them you probably forcefully think "THEY"RE GREAT. NUFF SAID. I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WHINING ABOUT BITCH AND I THINK EVERYONE WANTS YOU TO SHUT UP. JUST CAUSE YOU HAD A SHITTY EXPERIENCE, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FORCE YOUR OPINION ON OTHERS OR WE'LL SHUT YOU DOWN. PERIOD." ..something like that.. that's steroids for ya. I DEFINITELY wish I did not take them.. and if you have not taken them and are thinking about it, just be aware that they can fuck up your life. There's a few poster boys for it and inspiring examples, but those people were born to be muscle-men and it's kinda the icing on the cake.. if you're not genetically predisposed for being a big jock, i'd say do not take them, cause they might fuck up your life and ruin alot of what you naturally have going for you. "NUFF SAID" "LISTEN TO THIS WISDOM OR DONT COME CRYING WHEN YOU DONT" SUCK THIS" "X" "HMPH" oh yeah, be prepared to talk like that too if you're gunna take em, it'll just start happening

I only regret not doing enough research into sponsors... My first cycle was with underdosed bullshit that gave me crippling PIP. Luckily I get bloods religiously and caught it relatively early on.. Even then it took 2 or 3 more attempts to find a source that wasn't a piece of shit. That's why it makes me cringe when I see new members falling for the same old flashy gimmicks that new UGL's use time and time again. I fell for it, and so do they. Convenience and quick turn around combined with cheap items lures in FAR too many.

No regrets just wish I had learned about nutrition sooner but I have had nothing but a great life with gear
