I remember reading something like that too in Muscle Mag's Anabolic's section. I forget the guy who used to write that column... Then it all turned into one big muscletech info/ad/article

Great story so far. Reminds me of when I was in college and used to buy all the BB magazines. I was so stupid and really thought those guys trained as they had outlined in the magazines and that they were 'all natural'. It wasn't until after I graduated that I realized that all these guys were juiced to the gills. Pretty cool that you had and inside view.

Part 3.

I was pretty excited to return home from my trip, knowing that my cycle would begin soon. I got in the car, and began driving home, figuring that I would stop maybe 7 hours into the drive, get a hotel, and then finish the journey. Home was about 2000 miles north. As I looked in my wallet, I realized... I had only about 25 dollars left. I'm not sure where the calculations/bookkeeping went wrong, but somehow I had overspent my budget. I had no credit card, no debit card (they didn't exist yet), and no ATM card. I had no checks with me, but out of state checks were not usually accepted anyway.

A panic struck me. How do I eat? Where do I sleep? How much gas money will I need to get home?

Luckily, at least I had a full tank of fuel. And I had a little Plymouth Horizon at the time. They were similar in size and shape to a VW Rabbit and very fuel efficient. The other "good" news was that I had about half of a loaf of bread and a little bit of peanut butter left. I would have to ration it and make it last. I could not afford to buy food.

I drove 55mph the whole way, in order to conserve fuel. I kept the windows rolled up for better fuel mileage, and kept the air conditioning off. Problem was, the temperature was in the mid to upper 90s (fahrenheit) and the car was well over 100 degrees inside. I was sweating profusely. Every so often I would roll the window down to keep from meeting certain death. At one of my fuel stops, I bought a gallon of water to drink in order to replace the fluids.

I drove non-stop, except for a short nap at a rest area. I barely made it, fuel-wise. I drove into my home town on fumes. Thank goodness for the days of 90 cent per gallon gasoline.

After getting back into the swing of things at work, I decided it was time to start my cycle. My training and eating was on point. At this point, my weight ranged between 155 and 160 lbs. I was not a big guy, but I was muscular at my height (5'6"). Keep in mind that I had already gained 60-65 lbs naturally up to this point, so it was no mystery why I was having trouble packing on more size beyond this.

I was ready.

I had talked to a couple people about self-injecting, and I was a pretty fearless kid. My very first shot took a while to get everything set up, get air out of syringe, decide on the exact injection location, etc. And I was a little bit nervous, but not scared. Just unfamiliar. It was a bit exciting at the same time. The 21g needle plunged slowly into my glute and I pressed harder to get all 1.5 inches submerged. I injected .5ml (100mg) with a plan to increase each week in a pyramid fashion. (For those of you unfamiliar with old school techniques, pyramiding up and down during a cycle was thought to ease you in and then help you begin to recover and you came down.) The needle came out with very little blood and all was good.

I started my first dose of Anadrol 50 that day as well. I started with just the single 50mg tablet daily.

Even within 24 hours, I could feel things changing in my body. The Anadrol was very powerful. I could tell that I felt a little fuller in my muscles within only a few hours. This continued to progress throughout the week. I was about 5 lbs heavier by the end of the week. This blew my mind. Considering how hard I had been working to make the numbers on the scale rise, and this little pill did that in a week. Even as a first time user I knew that it wasn't all muscle gain. I could tell it was water retention, but much of it was intramuscular water retention. I didn't feel fatter, I felt bigger.

The next week, I stayed at the same dosage of Anadrol (50mg/day), but raised up my Test to .75 ml, or 150mg. I continued to grow in size and in strength. Each week, I was using more weight than the week before, and my endurance rose as well. Suddenly, I could work out longer, do more reps with each set, and do more sets before my body screamed out begging me to stop. I had read the informational paper that came with the anadrol and I was aware it increased red blood cell count, so I surmised that the extra oxygen delivery was to be credited for the endurance. By the end of the second week, I was up about 11 lbs and stronger than I had ever been.

Week three, I increased the Anadrol to 50mg, 2x/day and the test went up to 1ml (200mg). Again, my strength shot up. At this point I remember my bench press being about 30 lbs higher, and my lighter (burnout sets) were done at the weight that I used to use for my heavy sets. I really could not believe what I was seeing in the gym. I was blowing past PRs weekly and felt almost like Superman. My muscular size was also rapidly increasing. My chest, an eternal lagging point, was showing some serious signs of thickening up. My arms were up in size, my lats were growing thicker, and my legs were blowing up.

Week four, much of the same continued. My Anadrol dosage stayed the same as the week previous and I increased the test dosage to 250mg for the week. I was now up about 20 lbs, about 175-180 lbs and I was still amazed at what seemed to be daily changes in my physique. Strength was rising at about 10lbs a week on the bench press and about 20-25 lbs a week on the squats. I had this feeling as though I could lift 800 lbs. I was eating enormous amounts of food, somewhere north of 6000 calories daily. I wanted to give these compounds every chance they had to increase my size and I wasn't about to shortchange them at feeding time.

But things began to take a turn for the worse in week five....
