I don't know Wolf? I'm getting stronger everyday now, although it's slow...
I probably see where my genetic limit is and decide then...
I have become much better educated about PED's lately. They are definitely not what the Gov. and a bunch of dipsh*ts want you to believe they are.
It's funny there a miracle cure when prescribed by a doctor but if used recreationally your going to become Satan's Spawn:rofl:
For me it more about getting the look. You get a certain look while on. I used them to help get the "show" but now I need some "go" to back it up. Gonna have to change my workout routine for more strength.
But I agree if you're making good gains then there is no reason to change or add anything. Let me know if you do tho! I always like to hear other people's experiences with them.
Nicer huh?:kisskiss:

Interesting article, while I don't agree that there are no side affects from them, its annoying that no science has been placed on them. Its just the dumb mindset of "roids = bad, case closed" It also shuns the correct info on gear usage being available to people who do choose to do it, and forces people to rely on forums etc.
As long as you are not competing under the guise of a no gear player, then I think its whatever you wanna do to your body is your call.
More high school kids injure themselves from shitty bench attempts and knee bend squats than dat gear.

I agree 100% with both of you.
Went into today with a real iffy mindset and was rather beat but, that led to a **** it all kinda mood.

Part of rage today was filled from some OLY lifter throwing to the ground a massive 225lb... sorry to OLY guys but, have some respect for others.. no one is impressed with the crap ton of noise you make. Control your reps.
Ah well. #Success

I drop everything above 200 lbs or so when its overhead or in front rack. Now, should you ghostride it from overhead? No. Follow it down.
However, If a guy is lifting without bumpers and/or without a platform or rubber floor, he is being an ass. Doing snatches at 24hr fitness or something like that aint cool.
Dropping it from overhead and walking away before it hits the ground is the O lift equivalent to curls in the squat rack. There is a special place in hell...
I usually drop my overhead stuff and catch it on the second bounce... I have ghostridered some sh*t before too I haven't done any Oly stuff in a while and honestly it's just to small of an area to be doing that type of lifting. I'm like Matt I get annoyed when others are doing it because they usually use the one texas squat bar in the whole gym, that leaves me stuck with a fat bar. I'm a picky powerlifter
For a while I was dropping my deadlifts, until I figured out it was annoying others, I'm at a small globo gym, so I need to be mindful of that. Besides letting your body unload from 450+ actually hurts, so I follow it down and try and focus on the eccentric phase, I think I said that right?
