your deciding factor

**under construction** · 05-23-2008, 01:29 PM

hey guys Just kind of wondering what was the biggest deciding factor in your decision to go from natty to enhanced? It would be cool to hear from everybody no matter how crazy the reason might sound and on that note try not to flame anyone too hard for being honest.

To compete, because i wanted to become bigger, stonger, and it was something i just wanted to do.

Trained since i was in highschool, didn't start seriously till i was in Iraq, when i was 19y/o. Went to gear at 22 y/o

cool
zomb i didn't know you were military
i'm not myself but that's interesting to know.

i wanna stay natty for now but if i do start using gear it's just because i want to become bigger/stronger and more cut.
i will hopefully be competing next year or the year after.

I'm natty atm, the 2 big things in my way is money and kinda feel lik its cheating...plz dont take affence to all the enhancne guys out there. Good from this dose run through alot of nattys minds and im sure alot of em think seriuosly about it from time to time like me.

lmao^ how is it cheating.
if a runner buys new shoes which a lighter and have better grip, is he a cheater??
it's apart of the sport. if you like to lift just because you do then do so.
anyway i juiced because i was interested in var but then i saw it's availability and price and then someone have me sustanon250 and i didn't know about it. so i researched it.

3 which isnt that many but enough to realize that even in the natural shows I was one of the few that wasnt using.Most natural shows arent tested they make you sign a waiver that says you agree to a polygraph if needed.
Then again I didnt do it just to be like everyone else.I got into competing at a late age and i believe had reached my natural limits at 33 or damn close to them and knew to get where i wanted to get i had to make some major changes in my physique.hopefully Ill get pics of next weekends comp up and we can compare them to one of my natural shows

thanks for everyones response I can definitely see your points. Ive been around a few "natty shows" Ive even trained with a few people while they were getting ready so I know what Kaboom is saying to be the truth. every year its becoming harder and harder for me to gain the lean mass I want. Im having to gain more and more fat each year so after the cut my net gain is almost a bust. when I started training seriously I weighed 130# give or take(lean mass unknown) It was easy to gain muscle and add very little fat but now I have to gain almost 25-30 lbs to get a decent amount of lean mass. My body wieght is at 207 and lean mass at 180 at 5'5" not bad I know. When Im cut I get asked if I compete often so my cut physique is not bad over all. Now I have to decide if I want to cut down look good and maintain for life or take the next step and continue growing. Lets just say in my life I rarely settle for good enough regardless of what were talking about so this is whats tearing it for me and come next bulk for me its on. So thats my deal again thanks for sharing your line of reasoning pertaining to this subject-UC
