do u all feel the same way??

[juiceman2027]

im like in the 7th week of my cycle and i know its bad to get on the scale and look in the mirror but i cant help it, i feel like ive stoped growing but everyone still says i look bigger than ever i just cant notice. My wife is brutally honest and she says its all in my head but i dont think my eyes lie...lol..she says im becoming obsessed!! shed some light do u all feel like this sometimes??

thats a big reason why steroids are an obsession. It's never good enough, yet if you had the opportunity to look at yourself months/years prior, you would be more than satisfied with how you've turned out, you might even think it was to much. I haven't seen you but having been in your position I would most likely agree with your wife

 

[Biggin]

U will never be big as U want to be, for me anyway..

 

[Teutonic]

I too will never be as full, vascular, strong and symetrical as I want to...

 

[Rogue Chemist]

Trust me, you look bigger to other people than you do to yourself. You're good.

Yeh bro its common to feel this way. The mirror is your best friend and your worst enemy. Just keep working hard! Best way to how your body has changed over the course of a cycle is to take before pics then an after pic and look at them both afterwards. I agree with biggin, I dont think I will ever be satisfied. If you get satisfied, that just means you are getting lazy!!!!!

you mind will mess with you. I gained over 40 pounds and couldn't tell, until I finally saw a pic of myself

I always think I'm shrinking... Especially if I miss a workout or two. I'll be asking my wife if it looks like I'm shrinking.

Oh... and she calls me "the incredible shrinking man"...lol When she gets aggravated after asking her....

 

[jjtattoofreak]

Yeah the gave it a name and called it a fucking disease, when ppl think they are smaller than they are and want to get bigger but are never satisfied...muscle dysmorphia is what I believe the quacks call it, sounds like a good disease to have to me, better than being lard ass a licious right... lol

Its the same principle when your girl claims to be getting fat and she hasn't gained an ounce.

[Dreaded Pirate Roberts]

Wait till you've been off for a few year and you want to get smaller.....Haha.

 

[TammyLon]

tell me about it...
i was always complaining that i am not getting big enough until i finished my cycle and gained 12 kgs...(and still that wasnt enough) but now after 3 months i really notice i was bigger 3 months ago. i lost 6 kgs of those i gained and am sad ...

trust me its an obsession

 

[R1rider]

yup. I feel like that sometimes, but sometimes i feel huge and notice the hard work and size. I always feel better when i try on old t shirts and they dont fit right.

its possible you have stopped growing.

the vast majority of people who start a cycle feel the same way toward the end of a cycle and some blame it on the burnt out receptor myth.
many people forget to up their calories during the cycle as their weight /lean mass goes up. the amount of calories it takes to grow at your starting weight has probablly become maintainence calories for your current weight. the more lean mass and weight you carry = the more calories it takes to grow.
