What Motivates you?

[cheechjp]

Hey everyone,

I'm sure there has been a thread like this but considering its not too far off from the new year and I'm new to the forum it would be great to hear everyone's feed back on why they try the sauce and why many guys stay on it for several cycles. Clearly I'm just talking about taking test as a non-therapy reason here. I'm also curious since there seems to be a lot of great info here for a newbie but I see a lot of guys doing their first cycle with some heavy stacks.

I want to get eventually do one cycle once a few months from now once a get a stronger daily routine down in regards to eating, training, sleeping, and free time. I've been working out for a few years now but I've always had difficulty putting on any mass. I couldn't see my self doing more than one cycle but yet again how many of you guys have said that as well and are on a third or 4th? Anyone who is in this boat, did you do one cycle and wanted to add more mass? What was your initial motivation... did it change?

many people hit a plateau or a slow point in their training , cycling adds a whole new scenario and push of motivation, new edge into the game , you advance faster , have a nonstop motivation , greater strength , break personal records and makes u feel advanced , self accomplished , animalistic and determined , if u are cycling properly , it should give you only greater reason to push yourself even harder , and do even more to achieve your goals and a more optimal level of health and discipline . if u are doing everything properly , your diet , training and lifestyle becomes even more strict and disciplined on cycle . this is why i still respect pro body builders , because to achieve what they have isnt as easy as taking steroids and going to sleep , they become even more serious about what they are doing on gear , taking the next level up

So how often can someone say they tried one cycle, it went well and thats all they left it at?

Never met anyone like this before. Everyone I know who has done a successful first cycle has never left the "dark side"...once you start, natural just doesn't cut it anymore.

What I see in the mirror. Nothing more nothing less.

I know I'm a strong willed person with out any addictive tenancies. I haven't come close to reaching my natural peak and really just want to add at least 10 pounds of mass in my upper body (my legs grow well)

So like O&S said I'm really just going for looks

Your saying you have trouble gaining weight? I personally used to be 170lbs in high school and now 6 years later I'm 270lbs (natural hard work). When people say "i can't gain weight" thats bullshit! You need to do research and change up your programming every few months. Your body adapts to training routines, diet and even supplements. You have to have a complete passion for weight training to be able to stick with it. You can't be someone who sees other people and want what they have without putting in the work. If you don't have a "motivation" and just want to juice and put in a little work and get little results thats when you will get sucked into doing more cycles because you'll always want more.

My Story... I was chubby In HS, about 180lbs 5'11" chub, no muscle, I dropped down to 155lbs after my 2nd year of college from dieting, 6/7days of jogging, and calisthenics. I hit the gym about a year later ( again) and got up to about 165lbs and then I hit it hard with some old friends for about a year and hit 185lbs. Dropped back down to about 170s where I stayed for years. Recently I got back in the gym hard, I had some new friends, new motivations, and I was ready. I hit it hard just taking creatine again and got back to 185lbs. Friend introduced me to sustanon 250 and for the first few weeks I had the placebo effect. Thought I was getting stronger but I really wasn't a monster yet. DUDE, once it kicks in, its like , well just imagine you are Godzilla and you can step on any city.... or maybe superman when he lifts the car... I knew it kicked in when I growled at the weight(I'm super quiet too)... From that day I was sold. I wanted to hit 200lbs but after hitting 200lbs my first few weeks then 210lbs I was like woah, I want to be 260lbs. It made me feel much smaller than I am.

Am on week 6 and I can say where has this been all my life. The effect that it has had on me is amazing. I cam see how this can be addictive but theres a point where I can also see that woth out control tgia can get out of hand easily. I havent felt tgis good in yrs and I am not about to go back to feeling shitty period. I like how my body is reactimg to it and the more I like what I see in the mirror the more motivated I get.

whatever is my motivation at the time. usually a goal or a "just wanna see myself do it" moment.

 

[ruskie]

Results. Period. If you eat, train and rest properly you should see results every week or so naturally. With gear, well we all know what kind of results we see lol.

If you're working out and constantly not seeing the results you want to see then that just simply means you are doing something wrong. One cannot keep on doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again and expect different results.

You make your own motivation. I wanted to get bigger and stronger.... faster lol.

If you have any doubts just stay away. Do as much research as you can and determine whether or not its right for you.

This is the reason many guys don't succeed in this sport. They need motivation. Not saying I'm some bodybuilding god, but maybe one day I will become pro. I will tell you that myself along with several pros I have seen or known dont need motivation. It's what we call fun. Just like guys who go get trashed every Friday. They do it for "fun". No one motivates them to get wasted lol. That's another reason many guys don't stick with the lifestyle for more then a couple years, if that.

i never get tired of this

I call bullshit

unless your fat as fuck

 

[bigkit34]

Cant believe nobody said pussy as their motivator lol

 

[jSalud]

I do it for myself. The gym is my playground and gear is just a tool. A means to an end in a quest to be the best I can be.



And the pussy is great too! (There is said it! No shame lol)

Thoughts of the grave motivate me. I want to get all I can out of life. Before I'm too old! Which I never intend to be! I wanna juice till I'm 70!
Lol

Maybe this sounds f'd up, but when my father in law died of cancer last year, he was rail thin and frail. I couldn't help but think, if he'd only had some actual meat on his bones he might have made it through chemo. He just literally had nothing left to draw from anymore. When I go, I don't want to be frail... I want to be the old guy that can still bench more than the high school punk who thinks he knows it all!
