Have you tried steroids?

[Anonymous]

I have, it's good stuff. Didn't get any roid rage, I think it happens to those that are already douchebags, steroids just amplify it.
(It's legal were I live)

Yes, I like/liked it

Yes, but I regret

No, but I would like to

No, and don't even plan to

[Anonymous]

Yes. Loved it.

It's not something for the inexperienced athlete or ill informed individual to jump into. I did years of research before I considered it. I planned out my entire cycle and took precautions. I did 10 weeks of Testosterone Enanthate and Deca Durabolin injections, with a small dose of an aromatase inhibitor (arimidex) throughout, followed by heavy doses of HCG daily in the last few weeks of the cycle. I'm currently a month into post-cycle, taking a SERM (nolvadex) dose every day as well as a higher dose of arimidex. I've kept pretty much all of my gains. I had a positive euphoric experience, with the only adverse effects being some body acne toward the end of my cycle, temporary scrotum tightness (reversed quickly when HCG was implemented), and about 2 weeks of a lower sex drive during PCT. My sex drive has since returned full force.

Steroid use does not come without it's risks though, and everyone is affected differently as individuals. There's a reason why it has such a negative perception, and there's too many people who fuck themselves over because they didn't know what the hell they were doing.

[Theguyoverthere]

No because I've researched them and you lose the gains eventually after going off of them. So you're either stuck on them for life (cycling of course) or you stay natural. I also wouldn't want to spend the money forever and knowing my luck I'd be that... 1% that gets a genetic freak accident from them and be screwed forever.

The main upside with "everything speeding up" from what I saw was that you can train more frequently due to the speedy recovery but other than that, I don't see it worth it. Plus I'd feel like I wasn't obtaining the physique myself. People who know what they're doing and use the right dosages and all that are far safer than most people realize ironically. From what I've seen, most of the worries people have are actually from people using them incorrectly. I wouldn't judge a person for using them myself but I personally wouldn't use them.

[Anonymous]

No, I'm a mesomorph body type anyway I just have to actually get in the gym and workout (which you gotta do on steriods too).

My problem is that I'm lazy it's not that I can't build muscle quickly so no. If I were an ectomorph I'd probably think about it though

[Vivaldi]

I don't understand the point of a girl using steroids. Wanna be a man?

[bubble_tea]

no, because steroids can kill

www.smh.com.au/.../...roid-use-20140226-33ije.html

[Asker]

Water can kill

[Tokana]

@bubble_tea

the jury is still out on that.

[bubble_tea]

@Tokana did you read the article?

[Tokana]

@BubbleTea

Yes, I have. News articles are not academic sources. There has never been a cause and effect link with steroids.

[bubble_tea]

@Tokana but that news article is about a study conducted by a university.. heart failures in your 20s and 30s are not common..

[Tokana]

@bubble_tea

"Men in their late 20s and early 30s who abuse steroids are dying from serious heart disease, a NSW study has revealed."

they're abusing it, it can still be taken safely.

healthinfitness.wordpress.com/.../
bottom of the article.

[bubble_tea]

@Tokana thanks for the link.. what caught me eye in that link is this sentence: "Little is known about actual dose dependent side effects since the dose in controlled studies isn’t nearly as high as the dose used in doping among bodybuilders and athletes."

so either all bodybuilders and athletes are abusers or the studies don't even show the truly higher side effects for real regular users.

it's still true that steroids CAN kill. smoking CAN kill too.

[BertMacklinFBI]

never have I ever :D hahaa. are you going to maintain it forever?

[Asker]

Yes.

[jmr2191]

Well... when you stop taking those anabolic steroids and your body can't make anymore of its own testosterone, have fun with infertility, hypotonia and possible gynecomastia. You should probably stop now, but because of free will, you have every right to make the wrong choice. Have fun.

[Asker]

It can make it's own testosterone even while you're on.

[jmr2191]

True. What's also true is that the body starts making less and less of its own natural steroids and production of natural steroids does not normalize once you stop taking synthetic steroids. This leads to low testosterone levels which can cause the symptoms I stated above.

[Asker]

It does normalize, it might actually be higher on pct.

[Asker]

Dafuq is that shit. It's just a copy paste article.

[jmr2191]

Did you bother to read it?

[Asker]

Yes, it's a copy paste bullshit article.

[jmr2191]

How is it bulls***? It an article from a reputable source that presents evidence for the medical uses and side effects of abuse of anabolic steroids.

[Asker]

It's a generic copy paste article. Anabolic steroids are so different from one another with very different effects and side-effects, that's why articles like these are bullshit, it 1) doesn't say anything precise and of value 2) it's fear mongering (very similar to bullshit articles about weed)

[jmr2191]

1. Anabolic steroids are synthetic testosterone and are the steroids used to increase muscle mass and althoetic performance. Other steroids, such as corticosteroids, are anti-inflammatory medications used to treat serious medical conditions, such as lupus.
2. It clearly states that the amount utilized for recreational purposes is at least ten times the amount used for medical purposes.
3. It's not fear mongering- it's backed by medical research. Then again, biochemistry probably isn't your thing.

[Asker]

No, you clearly don't know anything. So shut the fuck up and stop humiliating yourself.

[jmr2191]

Sounds like you're upset. Curse words don't make you right... or tough. Show me proof that everything I've said has been wrong and I'll stop. Good luck :)

[Asker]

You haven't given me a scientific article and now ask for proof, are you kidding me, are you just trolling right now?

[jmr2191]

Not trolling. Here you go: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../nihms-70850.pdf

[Asker]

Trolling. You didn't even read what you posted, or didn't understand.

[jmr2191]

Enlighten me, then.

[Joshua2332]

People who use steroids are stupid. Just go in a lift weights and diet correctly and you will have more permanent gains.

[Asker]

No one has ever in history achieved an impressive physique naturally.

[Joshua2332]

I've been lifting for 18 months and have been accused of being on steroids. It's possible to achieve an impressive physique naturally IF YOU PUT THE TIME INTO IT. It doesn't take over night to do this. Go look at Jeff Seid or Lazar Angelov. Those physiques are attainable naturally if you put the work into it. However, most people don't have the time to lift or eat what physique models do. Go ahead and thumbs me down, I guarantee I still look better than you even though your bicycling and I barely put any effort into this.

[Joshua2332]

*you're

[Asker]

No, it's not. Jeff Seid and Lazar Angelov. Baaaaahaahhaha. I wouldn't be surprised if they are on more shit than Arnold was.
Good luck with looking like Lazar. (It won't happen)

[Joshua2332]

I hope you understand what steroids are. Just because someone is jacked doesn't mean they are on steroids. You seem like the guy who is using steroids, but still looks like shit because you don't know how to train or diet.

[Asker]

So young, so naive...

[SandPlanet]

Yes, goes great with wild rice and a fine glass of white wine.

[JackKerouac77]

I saw that in Martha Stewart Living too! Such great recipes.

[SandPlanet]

@JackKerouac77:
Martha's the best. Her recipe for Viagra on Brandy sauce saved my last Christmas dinner.

[JackKerouac77]

Don't even get me started on her Sockeye Salmon with a butter cocaine glaze. My Thanksgiving was HYPED as hell!

Paired with Stella Artois and some brie with onion jam? A feast for a king!

[SandPlanet]

@KackKerouac77:
I don't know what it is about Martha's recipes that make them so addictive!

[SandPlanet]

@JackKerouac77

[JackKerouac77]

Her maternal personality and many prescriptions for cheer :)

[SandPlanet]

@JackKerouac77:
She's indeed one cheerful Marthafucker.

[Red_Dragon]

Don't it make your dick little? I like the natural way. I don't like to cheat. No roids for bro.

[Red_Dragon]

*No roids for me bro.

[Asker]

No. It actually made it bigger, not longer but a bit thicker. Men's dicks get thicker with age, this just speeds that up.

[Red_Dragon]

You are probably taking a different kind of steroid. Maybe. Idk. Either way it's a mental thing to me. I want to lift knowing I got stronger the natural way. I feel steroids is cheating.

[Asker]

Yes, there are a lot of different steroids. Some will absolutely kill your sex drive and erection. But good ol' testosterone will make it better.

[Anonymous]

I think eventually it breaks down the body. Small doses with long breaks probably won't hurt. Just be careful.

Whey + PWO sups and proper diet can fix a lot of stuff, without those nasty side effects.

[Asker]

PWO is MUCH worse than steroids. Good luck with a heart attack.

[Opinion Owner]

Nah I always keep the Ozeri CardioTech BP3T BP monitor with me check it before and after workouts :). Never have had a problem even on 3 scoops of Assault, but you're right everyones tolerances and body is different so it could be worse for some people.

[Asker]

That monitor doesn't matter, it fucks up your bloodstream.

[JackKerouac77]

Maybe I'd pump them before a fight, but otherwise I have absolutely no reason to use them.

Do they not make your testicles/overall genitalia shrink? That's kind of a deal breaker for me.

[mutedaisy]

I'd rather not get any chemically closer to becoming a man. Besides, I put on muscle very quick... I'd rather not go down that road again.

[CuriousCatbug]

Only when i broke my back lol, but those were doc prescribed :p

[Anonymous]

No, but my cousin does for health related purposes. There are some side effects like blurred visions and bloating.

[COCOCHANEL]

no, and i don't see it in my future

[Vivaldi]

You'll become a big muscular man.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I like it and I will be starting a new cycle in about 2 weeks.

[DragonWolf]

No, and i probably wont. =)

[Vivaldi]

Because you are a girl. A girl is supposed to be non-muscular and skinny.

[slackercruster]

Nope, never want to either.

[sovetskii13]

No and I don't want to. I prefer to be healthy.

[DreamAngel]

No i havent, and im not planning to =)

[Vivaldi]

You'll become a big, strong muscular man.

[JohnnySS]

i have it wasn't smart, but i wasn't on it long

[SkaterDude]

no, i can bench press 160 lbs with ease

[TonyRyan]

You might need them then, lol jk.

[SkaterDude]

i am not planing to lift serious shit

[Klaatu51]

never (filler)

[ihatethiswebsite]
