Is it possible?......

Re: Is it possible?......

In april I had a cardiac arrest.
I have been on gear for decades.......
Obviously I cannot continue to use (except for my trt).
I have not been in the gym for 3 months and I wont be able to train again until hopefully the 5th of july. I have a treadmill stress test schedualed.
I was 225ish 7% or less bf. Common cycles were 1500-2000 test plus 1000-1500 assorted other aas and ancillaries.

So.....Im only eating 2 real meals a day now and I weigh about 190.

I have a theory that bodybuilding is mainly food driven. Meaning food is the #1 most important component.
I also believe that I can get to or close to where I was before without the drugs since I now already have the muscle tissue.

WHat do you guys think?
is it possible to get to where I was before clean?

If I go to 6 meals a day from 2 and a snack.....Ill def grow.

no, you cant. you can maintain as best you can to prolong the inevitable, but water will always seek its own level and this is true about your body as well.

look at what happened to arnold and all the rest.

i was diagnosed with congestive heart failure years ago and it scared me to death, so I stopped it all. but shortly thereafter, i rethought the matter and decided to go clean.

but i shrunk...took 3 years to do it through since i went back to the qym 'unplugged' and maintained a good diet, but reduced to accommodate the new biochemistry makeup of my body.

and one more thing...i know several natural body builders and they grow, but they, obviously arent as big as there juiced counter parts. so my guess is your body will find the level it wants to be at naturally and then you will grow at the rate the natural dudes do.

just my 2 cents.

Hey man i didnt read through all the posts but i was wondering your age if you dont mind me asking and was your diet clean pre heart attack? And i def think with muscle memory you can reach your goal its just gonna take longer and take more hard work inside and outside of the gym. I really look up to you for the way your stayin positive and willing to push yourself to reach your goals without large amounts of gear. Good luck bro, youll get there no doubt in my mind.

Ok. Update.
This thread was started around 7/12 post cardiac arrest. I was wondering if I could get back up to my geared size with no drugs on board.
I had high hopes and though a couple months Id be back in action. This was not the case.
Currently Im training as hard as I ever have. My strength has passed my previous drug fueled point. So...I have set new records clean that beat the records set on gear. Im also currently larger than I was when I had the cardiac arrest. Im not as lean but Im thick as ****.
Here are 2 pictures of my back. The first was at about my largest on gear. The second is last night. 200mg test hrt dose only.

Hmm.....wont let me upload pictures. Any ideas why?
Mod?

This is GREAT to hear Brundel. It has to feel even better that you have achieved this without the use of gear?

Not sure why you cant upload pics? Check your settings and then let me know if you still cant.

Says exceeds my quota? Does this mean I have to take down old pics before I can post new ones?

Re: Is it possible?......

Re: Is it possible?......

I just started reading this, sorry for the delay lol..I DEF think it is possible! Muscle memory is a motherfu*ker I was running minimal gear, about a TRT dosage, and gained back like 20lbs in 2 months one time...Food IS king! muscles are made in the laboratory, kitchen, sleep, then gym in my opinion lol...
