How long did you train naturally before taking the plunge in2 the world of anabolics?

[flashpoint]

Trained for about 4 years throughout highschool before jumping on a 3 week D Bol only cycle at 19 or 20. No post cycle therapy (pct) and I injured my shoulder in the process from heavy benching. Live and learn.

i trained for about a year or two naturally. gains slowed and i got greedy. i did a 200mg test cycle and loved it. did a 400mg test cycle and loved it even more. i start a 500mg 12-14 week cycle in a week or so.

i probably should have trained longer before jumping on the gear but i did a lot of research first to make sure i wasn't going to hurt myself.

I trained alot of years, but still didn't know enough. I hadn't tried enough programs. I pretty much used whatever we did in high school or college football. Then you throw in the flex magazines that sent me in the wrong direction....and I still hadn't tried enough things to find out all I needed to know about my body prior to cycling, but I had a lot of years of experience first anyway.
I thought I knew diet, but I was WAY off the mark. I should have held out another couple of years and learned more from the net first.

I can't imagine what people did for this type of info before the internet. If my knowledge was based only on what I've heard from friends or around the gym I would be a moron.

I'm pleased to see that 5 years or more makes up almost 50%, should be higher though, ideally.

LoL I blame Joe Weider and Flex for causing me to overtrain during my late teens! If not for the abundance of testosterone (natural) flowing through my system, I doubt I'd have made any gains at all during those years.

Thank God for the internet. Sure you have to wade through the bullshyt, but there's a plethora of sound, solid information if you know where to look.

That is a good sign. Although you're right, ideally it should be 100%. Interesting results nonetheless.
