Just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone here at SI. I have got nothing but the best advice and support from all of you. I have been around lurking in the shadows for a minute now. I don't post much just because I subscribe to the "keep your mouth shut, listen and learn" philosophy. Also a little intimidated by the vast amount of knowledge floating around here and a little afraid to say something stupid. So I opt to research quietly until I feel like I have something of value to offer.
With that being said, I have earned the trust of a few solid guys and gals around here. I now have access to quality sources for AAS and GH but what's worth more to me are the friendships I have aquired here at SI. Bros that are genuinely interested in helping one another not only reach their goals but safely doing so. Besides a little friendly ball busting or quality debates I havn't seen the typical flamings or the talking down to the new guy. This is where SI truly rises above the other boards. The greenest noob feels welcome here and is considered a valued member of our community.
I am in the middle of my first real cycle and my first run with GH. I say my first real cycle because this is my first truly educated and researched cycle. In years gone by I like many of us relied soley on the big guy at the gyms(usualy the source) misinformed opinion. Not till I joined SI did I realize how ass backwards I had done things in the past. Not only was I making costly mistakes but I was putting myself in harms way voluntarily.
Now at 40 I am building the body I have always wanted. Every day some stranger comments on my size. Friends are amazed at my transformation. Keep in mind I started my journey two years or so ago. I think I did it the right way. I cleaned up my diet, started training hard and dropped about 30 lbs before I started TRT. Was on TRT for about 7 months before I started my current cycle. Things are really coming together as of late. Veins are popping out everywhere and muscles I didn't know I even had are granite hard. A bouncer at a local club was like "damn son your shirt looks like its full of bowling balls". I know it sounds stupid but I guess that was his way of saying I looked jacked. I am a tattoo artist and get hit on now by girls half my age. I am happily married and don't cheat but damn it feels good! I am no where near where I ultimately want to be but the hard work is paying off. I have always been a relatively big guy but carried way too much body fat. I only had one conversation with Chip Wadowski from Maximus before his passing but he inspired me with his personal transformation. He told me instead of buying xxxl shirts to hide my gut I would eventually be buying my shirts a size too small to show off the new me. LOL! Every time I go clothes shopping now I think of Chip.
So to all of you brothers and sisters here at SI, thank you for helping me up and getting one step closer to the new me. I look and feel better then when I was in my twenties and I couldn't have done it without you. You guys have helped me change my life. I can only hope to repay this debt by helping others as you have done for me. It's not about vanity for me but rather having confidence in my self and a much higher self esteem and that is priceless.
