When is it time to stop?

Thanks for the responses guys. For now I think I am going to keep cycling for a few more years and then stay on some low dose Test as KIR mentioned. And KIR, I guess you're right, you are only as old as you feel. As long as I can still nail the college hotties I won't consider myself old. LOL. Peace. BSH

It's not nailing the college hotties. It's defending yourself when their boyfriends find out!!

I only have about 3 cycles under my belt, I am 31 and as long as I am not having any adverse health effects and I am hitting the gym, I'm sure I'll keep cycling

The biggest thing NO ONE ever listens to is this, I DO NOT recommend anyone using gear until they have platued, and that may be in your late 20's or so, I did NOT start until I was 46 and have been doing for the past year, and I compete as much or more than anyone here un powerlifting, I all summer long compete in the NASS World Strongman, what you see on ESPN, I in 2002 was 2nd in the world in Lt Heavyweight, and I compete also in the OPEN division, I have in the past 6 months placed 1st in every powerlifting meet I have entered, and won most overalls, and I compete in the Masters as well as open, and usually win both, my totals are now around 1700 area, and now I am working on state records, and I am now 47, so it still works for me, and I feel it works better if you wait longer to utilize it, just my 2cc's for being one of the ELDERS!!!!!LOL

Coop you older fart. Good info for these guys bro. We have talked many times, and we both feel guys just jump into gear to early before ever knowing what they are capable of doing without gear. Definitely some good info for them to think about. Unfortunately, if they belong to this board, they are ready to use even if they are 18 y/o. Let me know bro next time your gonna be in Chgo. We can either train a day or go have some drinks. LOL All lifting and no play makes Uncle KIR a dull boy. LOL PEACE! KIR

Good question. I've thought about that myself quite a bit. I had originally thought that 40 would be my cut off, I'm 38 now, But since I've been off for 3 months I don't feel as good as I do when I'm on. I have a decreased sex drive and little motivation to work out. Plus my positive aggressivness is just not there. I think that I may never go off. I might decrease what I have been known to take but I guess. I just feel better about myself when I'm on. But ultimately it's your choice! Sugar

Great point Coop. I am glad that I didn't start juicing until I was 29 and had many years of solid natural growth and development. I always shake my head when reading some newbie ask for input on his cycle and then you see the same guy post a VERY basic question on nutrition or training. Doesn't make sense to me. BSH

I ran with juice when I was about 20-22. Then I stopped until I turned 33. Why stop?
