A 'steroid' is anything that contains the cholestorol. So if you want, take birth control.

VERY impressive, considering it was done all natural, I assume.

You also need a ------- tan dude, you're whiter than paper.

Oh and another thing that I forgot to mention, get as much sleep as possible. Your muscles need time to rest and rebuild. 8-10 hours a night would be nice, but if you work a lot sometimes this just isn't possible.

Re: it's summer, beach muscle ??
I went from 155 ish to 170 in three month and lost my little beer belly and body fat here and there
All I did was eating very clean, 5 meals a day with no sweet and no junk food, it was really hard at first but eventually I got use to it. I was working out 5 days a week with no cardio, working all the muscle group everyday, half the weight for warm up set then maxmium weight to the pioint where I can do only 1 set x 10 rep. Yea thats only two set total , i know it sounds crazy but it did work pretty well and gain mass and shape up pretty quick. I got REALLY REALLY tired the first week or so from all those "work" lol but started to get use to it on the second week and actually felt good about it.

Re: it's summer, beach muscle ??
I found out my workplace has a fully-stocked gym, so I started some weight training on my lunch break. Figure I'll do 3 days of weights, and 2 days of cardio...not to mention the "extra" cardio I get on the weekends. 
I haven't been to the gym in at least 8 months, but I still have most of my bulk so it shouldn't be too hard for me to get back to where I was. I'm 215 now, I don't see any issues getting back up to at least 225 or 230 where I used to be. Since I started this job I've noticed my stomach starting to lose it's definition and the spare tire is starting to appear...guess it happens when you get a bench/desk job. Did 50 reps tonight on the gym's ab machine...man do I feel it now :P With any luck hopefully working out will help me quit smoking too.

Your right though, Claritin doesn't have anything related to steroids. Some water cooler rumors I had heard.

Re: it's summer, beach muscle ??
I weigh 135, eat a ton of junk daily, and try to avoid physical activity unless it's enjoyable.
For a few years I've been thinking of doing something about it, but my metabolism is insanely fast. I'm guessing I'm going to have to drown myself in protein and calories (TON of calories) to try and slow it down.
