Im too jerked and swoll for anyone not to know. Fucking stevie wonder could see that shit.

Peoples did think i was juicing when i was just on supp,i've always grew very easily,so now that i'm on the real stuff it's hard for them to tell,but it's sure at 270lbs and 12%bf it must past through someone's mind when he meet me for the first time...
You're right about Stevie, he would smell the test all around the place...

Maybe kinda related, Arnold had a quote (at least I think it was Arnold) in the old Pumping Iron book.

He said something about a guy with a sports car doing 100-plus to show off, but that someone in a Lambo will just cruise along at 70 because he knows he could blow the roof off anyone.

...

Okay, that's not related at all.

I keep my gears inside a coat pocket in my closet. No one would have any reason to look in it, and since I don't wear a suit to work anymore, I never have a reason to take the coat out. I told the wife that I'm on "self administered" HRT. She's not really happy about it, but ain't givin' me any shit about it yet. She doesn't know enough about gears to realize that I'm on test, tren, and deca, nor would she have any idea what those are. When people ask me about my jack'dness, I just say "yeah, creatine, protien shakes, etc."

A broad I was seeing on the side recently said she'd often wondered if I was juicing, cause her late husband used to work out a lot, and she didn't figure I could have the build that I do with out some kinda enhancement. So, I sometimes wonder if a lot of people don't buy it when I say it's all Met Rx shakes and creatine.

I don't know, sounds kinda related to me. I think he mentioned something about wearing regular shirts and not having to show off all the time, too. All about not having to prove anything to anyone.

gears, your jacked and if u tell them u just use shakes and mtrx or watever that is, nobody is going to believe that nonsense, they wouldnt buy it with me and iam not the biggest person but iam not at all little. i choose to cover it up rather people ask me wat do u take and i hate the stares people look at you like your from a different planet. your 270 gears and iam 290 with blue blood if u no wat that is as iam sure u do. so if u want the attention and like it then go without a shirt. i keep my shit covered all yr long. i learned from the best. i used to like to show off the 20 inch guns but now there 22 and people will no right off the bat i use gear. and the cos/ LE will ask u questions. i dont need the hassel. i dont want glory. people that no me on here no wat my goal is. thnx to curt james he gave me determination. like i told pyes and richard gears to go do a competition they look awesome. i hope they heed my advice. i dont have nothing to prove at all. i love the people on IM and want to learn, not into the gossip. good luck to the guys i mentioned in there victory as competitors in the "show".

Bro, your a good man and your advice is sound and rep worthy. I've noticed as of late that folks are a talking about my gains. Asking me what i'm on and what have you. I started covering up my shit as well. I don't need any attention. Nor am I out for the glory as well. Just a average guy who wants to be fit and healthy. I also like to look good for the wife. She's digging the new me. Big turn on for her.

Hey SK, so I'm assuming the wife knows you're on gear? My girlfriend (pretty much my wife) would freak out. She's going to medical school and believes all the stereotypes that come with gear. But IMO, a well informed and advised person who takes gear in moderation can enhance their quality of life. Doctors prescribe it all the time. If they thought it was dangerous then I'm sure they wouldn't. Probably why they don't prescribe stuff like coke or ecstacy. Gear has a true value in the everyday lives of people such as increased libido, testosterone for those aging, and good strength and weight gains for people that need it. Seriously, they should put all law enforcement and military on gear. I think criminals would think twice about assaulting an officer when he's jacked or terrorists who see a jacked army guy will be a lot more intimidated. Just MHO.

To add to that, it's just the people that abuse the gear or use it with no knowledge that give the stuff a black eye. If people did thorough research and made sure to be cautious with it, this wouldn't be an issue. But you have the guys that do gear and go to bars and pick fights or have no clue what they're doing and suffer physically from it that give the stuff a bad name. I know of many guys that do Dbol or Deca only cycles, get jacked, get in fights then get skinny in a few months. They're just destroying their bodies IMO.

thnx brother, iam just around to many assholes at my gym that would blow me in in a second if they new i had anything on me. or took anything. i dont need the hasel bro as iam sure u dont either. theres nothing wrong with showing your body , i just am around to many le and correctional officers and they live right near my house. so to keep my family and me safe its not smart for me. i only speak for me. after a few decades of wearing hardly nothing i was told by a wise man that keep it covered . for people who dont know your muscles fill with a blue tinge to your blood when u do massive amounts of gear. god bless to all on IM.

I just don't see what the point is in working your ass off to get so jerked, then covering it all up. As far as cops, many of the ones I see in the gym are clearly juiced to the gills. If someone assumes I'm geared, I just take it as a compliment. They certainly won't know for sure unless I tell them. Just my 2ccs.

In unclem's case the point is he wants to show. For a lot of people it is just seeing how far you can go, hitting your peak. Its personal, not something you care to share with everyone. I'm in shape for myself. Period.

no gears i deffinetly hear ya on showing off your shit. but where i go the LE and CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS AND COPS dont use i know i can tell. they are very much against as i hear them talk. its not just me there who covers its alot of the bigger guys. but if it was like i didnt have to worry that someones trying to make a name for themselves then hey maybe i would uncover. but i did all that with the stares and u can tell , iam sure gears u no wat iam talking about ur big. so thats wat i dont like. iam low profile. when i move to queens i might change i dont know yet. but i live in a little town. i have nothing against the way u like to do it. imho, this is just me. even if i win ifbb pro, ok, ill do no glory session, go home to my wife and thats it my heavy dose training is over just trt for me and a oral low dose. if a after the placing photo shoot, not interested. but ill be so filled with 47 yrs emotions of my dream , i hope ill be able to compose myself and say " i did it".

Just wanted to start a thread and ask if the people close to you such as friends, family, wives (most specifically), co-workers, etc. know that you juice? I ask b/c I naturally got to a pretty good size and strength and was accused of juicing many times. I've been working out for almost ten years now and it seems like gains and losses goes in cycles for me. I will go one or two good years of straight lifting and seeing great gains then something will happen where I take six months or a year off of lifting and lose all my gains. My last good cycle was all natural and I got to the same weight as I did when I juiced eight and five years ago. However, my two previous juice cycles were while I was in college and I drank nearly everyday. This time, I'm older and much more mature with a career and basically never drink. So I think my gains will be much better this time around and my diet will be 10x better, although it wasn't bad before. What I'm afraid of is people accusing me of taking juice this time around, b/c I actually will be, and I'm a terrible liar so I'll probably not be able to say "no I don't do juice" with a straight face. At least when I was accused before, I could say no and be honest about it. Also, my girlfriend who lives with me has no idea I'm going to juice. In order to keep it from her, I plan to keep all gear in my office and pin after work once everyone has left. My office is pretty discreet. It's actually a converted house and my office is on the second floor, away from everyone and I have my own bathroom so I think the chances of getting caught at the office will be minimal. I'd like to see if you all hide the fact you juice and what obstacles and procedures you take in order to hide it, especially from those close to you such as wives, children, parents, etc. Again, thanks so much for all the input. Without a forum like this, there would be a lot of mislead people using gear without the proper knowledge of how to use the gear. At least having the forum gives us a chance to research and learn from personal experiences on what to do and how it's done so thank you all who contribute to the forum. It's greatly appreciated.

Do you tell everything to your wife? Do you tell her you jack off and watch porno when she leaves?

My wife was the first to know, simply because I told her I was going on. My son at 22 asked and I didnt want to lie to him since I never have, asked me if I was and I gave him the truth. He asked why and I gave him my reasons. He accepted it, said it didnt matter to him, he wants me to be happy and the rest of my family dont know. Two of my friends know and dont give a shit.

i like to keep it personal and only i know what im doing. i perfer it that way because i like the atention when people ask me bro what do you take and im like its all about hard work and then gear to aide but i dont tell them about what im taking i like to keep them guessing!
