i want to get honest

got to a place where I wasnt gaining natrually and wanted to bump up and get bigger...and did my homework for one year before I took the plunge....that was years ago....I havent regreted it since..but I still get scared when the pack arrives....still scares me to order..lol.......I mean fictionally speaking...
 
I started training for real in '84 when I went to prison for the first time. I had some of those Sear's concrete weights as a kid and used to curl 30lb d-bells all day long but never really knew what I was doing. Then I hit prison the first time and lifting was a way to pass the time and keep people from messing with you.
My first time bench pressing I hit 275 at 145lb body weight, the coach saw me and wanted me on his power lifting team. I got to eat a little better, get out of work occassionally and travel to other institutions and break up the monotony of the same old routine.
He trained me in proper technique so at 165 I was hitting 365 and was repping 315 on squats with a 455 max at 165lb bw.
When I got out I got into competitive power lifting, all natty and did OK. But I knew other guys were juicing. I refused to because I felt their strength was just injected and not real.
Fast forward to age 52. I had gotten fat, as many old school power lifters tend to do I decided not to be fat any more. I dieted down from 230ish to 165, got some test prop and built it back up. Then I decided to compete again as an old fart so I ramped up my aas use to competitive levels, adjusted my training and diet and went for it. I've hit two comps in the last two years, would have been three except the flu kept me home from one and have done well. Localy I blow the competition away, but recently in the Pan-American bench contest in Denver I placed like 15th or something.

Great story! :igok:
