After 10 years or so of lifting and taking hormones on and off. I started to notice I didn't feel physically good as I use to. I developed high blood pressure(currently on Lisinopril) and just more sluggish and no appetite. Toxic feeling.
Where I live and the gym I attend has a lot and I mean a lot of professional bodybuilders and top level national level competitors. They always look fantastic. I said to myself how can I feel like this and they just keep going so hard. Its almost like they are invincible. Until yesterday
A top national level competitor (won the LA championships last year) was prepping for USA's this year. We were talking and he told me he stopped his prep. He felt terrible his blood pressure was through the roof his body wasn't responding like it use to. He's in his 40's married with kids. He just said I'm done. I cant take the drugs anymore. He started naming some names around the gym and saying some of there dosages and I was pretty caught off guard to be honest. He said how far to I have to push it? and then what? push it even more after that? I said to him that's awesome you realize it and your putting your family and your self first.
I can get pretty caught up on the forum and watching the pros online. But when it comes down to it. Its pretty fucking dangerous.
I just felt like it was a positive message with so many passing's with in the last couple years.
Guys just be safe. If your not making a living at this and don't plan on it. Back off a little and just have fun.
