Thanks so much for the positive feedback MR. BMJ, it sure will go a long way in my transition period.. This has been a major part of the MOBS life for nearly 30yrs so no quitting here, just changing things up a bit.. I will be around still and will post updates and progress pics once it starts.
My farewell Pic to all..

The best part is how much better sleep is!
I’m never going to bulk back up again. I couldn’t sleep on my back without my arms going numb and I had sleep apnea.
I sleep great now and don’t snore.
So what if you’re not huge anymore. I didn’t like “looking small” but it’s all mental.
You will physically feel better, the mental part will come later.
Smart decision, very smart.
Keep us updated as oft as you can.Comment

I believe you are correct on all of this.. Since I've stopped all gear since mid Nov, I am sleeping better, not snoring as much if at all at times, my blood pressure is back in the normal range etc.. Looking smaller will be more the mental challenge I feel, but it will pass in time just like all things do.. Thanks for the positive input bud.. MOB...Comment

Lookin' big my good friend. It takes alot courage, strength, and humility to go where your going and I applaud and admire decision. Please keep in touch, keep us posted on how your doing and stay on the boards. If you need anything I will do my best to help and you know there are many others that will as well. You have to take care of #1 to provide from those you love and mean the most to you. You know where I am if you need anything.....01.Hey all:
This is my last pic in the summer of 2019 at the age of 55. I have decided to retire from all BEAST MODE cycling and just reduce my training to moderate where I will be more leaner at a lesser weight. Soon to be 56 here and having some health issues come about over the last 6 months along with major high blood pressure concerns and with good discussions with the wife, family and friends, it was in my best interest to step back. I was 5'9 and 222lbs in this pic and I loved it however, they are other things in ones life other then being BIG and that is where the MOB is at.
The hard part will be hearing all the BS on how I lost weight, looking small yada yada yada but it will pass as times moves on like all things do. I'm just gonna do my TRT as planned and revamp the training routine along with the diet so next summer's pic of the MOB will be a more leaner and chiseled machine (I hope). This all starts Jan 2nd so I am just resting this old body for now till then. Thanks to my good friend 01dragonslayer for all his support and help over the last year, he is a true friend and a great asset to Peak Muscle.
I will be around and keeping all updated as the MOB goes through this transition.. PEACE OUT TO ALL..Comment

I hope I look that good at 55! Dam! I do wonder what age I will start to chill. I’m 45 now. I don’t mind my CPAP machine or bp medication yet. Lol. At your age I’m surprised that you dropped all AAS. No trt test? What’s your natty levels of test? Did you cycle or blast and cruise? How many years? Your original post made it sound like you were just going stop cycling But you are purposely trying to lose weight? Not going to gym anymore? Say it isn’t so! It’s much easier to maintain size than grow new muscle. I would bet you could stay on a trt and keep most of it with proper diet and training.Comment

MOB I don't know what your health issues are, but if it's only gear related there is no reason you can't maintain a lot of what you have with hard training and sound nutrition bro, AND still be healthy (again, that's contingent on your issues of course). I mean sure genetics plays a role, but if you aren't one of those types of guys who loses 30-50 lbs when OFF completely, I see no reason why you still can't look great considering how you look in your pics. What kind of ballpark bdwt # do you have in mind of getting down to? Best wishes for overcoming your health issues brother, and also achieving your goals.Last edited by Dawgpound_Hank; 01-05-2020, 06:20 PM.Dawgpound Hank is a fictional character,.

The legend and bodybuilder Rich Piana started 5% Nutrition to produce hardcore supplements and apparel for a select few willing to do Whatever It Takes to achieve success. As Rich delivered the 5% brand to the world, it was the lifestyle he established which spawned an ever growing community of followers—the 5% Nation.Comment

Yes bro, I am just gonna do my TRT dose along with a anti aging does of HGH from now on.. Not gonna quit as you were thinking as I could never handle that at all.. Been in this game since the mid 80's on and off so the MOB cant quit whats been part of his life mostly.. I am hoping to gain some good results with this change just at a lesser stressful level and take things a bit more loosely. My natty levels are usually lower then 300 so TRT is a must for me. Training will be modified from the beast mode level to more circut training to build up my cardio and become more leaner. I took the last 2 months off everything to let the body rest and clean out so hoping it responds well to the new gig.. MOB..Last edited by Kluso; 01-05-2020, 08:05 PM.Comment

It is from Rich's line for sure.. He was one true dude who told it like it is with NO bullshit.. He was one of a kind and a BEAST for sure.. Here is the link.

Life is what is important, live it well in the new you. You already have positives taking hold, sleeping & feeling better. A good board friend once told me when I was going through a struggle that this new direction "won't be as good as where you were, but it will be better in it's own way". I'm 58 and one day I am going to make the same decision as you have done. (I have several times but never left satisfied because I didn't get where I wanted to before stopping). Wish you the best!Comment
