Shoutout to all ASF members, I’m new to this forum, very happy to be here. I’m 41, 5’9” 240 lbs started competing in 2015 got 2nd place my first show, 4th my second show and 1st my third show. Tried gear in my mid 20’s to heal a nagging injury and I’ve been a believer ever since. I’ve moved to the states after high school after seeing golds gym. Living the dream ever since and I love it. Where I’m from the gear is legal and one can just buy it in a pharmacy. Here it’s not so easy. I haven’t competed in over 5 years due to getting nothing but fake gear and wasting major cash and time. I’m looking fwd to getting back on stage. With the emergence of social media everything changed- corporate gyms got overwhelmed with posers and fake characters and narcissists with fancy outfits training with tripods. I train mostly in privately owned gyms and I go at 5am to avoid all the fuckery, it makes my blood boil. Everybody’s on gear now and most of it is fake, it became a huge business online even the sites I used to rely on betrayed me. Tired of injecting empty vegetable oil and eating chalk tabs lol but I’m not a quitter and I hope joining ASF will change that. I’ve been reading forum rules and I understand I have a lot more posts to post to become a legit member so bare with me. My idea is to post my entire prep with progress pics from natty to full blown. Really glad to be here, hoping for the best.
Thank you
