Should I be worried that my boyfriend started taking steroids?

[RuneScimitar]

I hope he doesn't do it long term but he's already in amazing shape i dont see why he's got to do it. I care about his health a lot i hate to see him do it

[Dale1982]

Makes you aggressive as hell. It's testosterone you take. Doesn't just build up external muscles it builds up muscles that regulate your heart, your digestive system, everything. Fucks your kidneys up too. Many a steroid user needs lifetime dialysis after steroid use. Guys end up heart problems taking them. It ups estrogen as well and guys can end up with breasts. It destroys your internal hormones and chemistry. You'll see him starting to snap at daft things. I knew big steroid freaks who were bouncers and kickboxers, gangsters the lot and they all ended up fucked up, dead or in jail. That amount of muscle isn't natural either and fucks up normal co-ordination. He'll end up walking about like a gorilla and out of breath all the time

[RuneScimitar]

So scary

[Dale1982]

I knew a guy coz I was pals with his nephew. He was a fearsome man, unbeatable in a fight, a machine, totally indestructible. He was a gangster and nobody fucked with him. Ended up a hitman blew his head off one morning whilst schoolkids were walking past and people were going to their work. He was into steroids and kickboxing. The coroner gave the verdict to the family he'd have been dead from heart failure in a few months anyway. The muscles in his heart had grown that dense from the steroids it was causing cardiac failure. There was no fixing it. This is a common thing

[Kuraj]

All side effects of popular steroid blends can be negated with the use of inhibitors and with proper lifestyle and diet.
Most steroids are only a risk to people with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure and high levels of blood cholesterol.

If you are concerned then suggest he looks up what effects the steroids he takes have on his body have and how to counter them.
Most popular brands nowadays such as Sustanon have minimal risks, and you can also get weaker stuff such as Equipoise which typically present even smaller risks at the cost of smaller gains.

[adamjanovic]

Be careful, because sometimes steroids, especially when used by men, can result in "Roid Rage," and they can become violent. Look at Oscar Pistorius, he was taking steroids and he killed his girlfriend.

[juliaanita]

From WebMD:
Men who take anabolic steroids may:
Develop breasts
Get painful erections
Have their testicles shrink
Have decreased sperm count
Become infertile
Become impotent

[Tony_1693]

Lmao webMD isn't accurate by any means.

Breast tissue is formed after aromotization has not been handled for a very long time. You control this by using an anti inhibitor.

Painful erections.. not really. Depends on what steroids he's using as well.

Testicular atrophy occurs while on cycle but your testicals return to normal size after cycle.

Decreased sperm count on cycle.. normal off cycle.

Become infertile/impotent.. not really. You'd have to be on supraphysiological dosages of steroids for a long ass time for that to happen.

[juliaanita]

@Tony_1693 are you using steroids?

[RuneScimitar]

So if you stop using it you get withdrawls though

[Tony_1693]

I use them for bodybuilding. Was natural for five years, couldn't grow anymore, went on the steroid route. Been on and off steroids for two years now.

[Tony_1693]

Well your HTPA and endocrine will pretty much always recover if you use proper protocol.

[juliaanita]

@Tony_1693 I just haven't found any web evidence at all that steroids do any good thing for your body.

[RuneScimitar]

Tony do you have a girlfriend if so what does she think about it

[Tony_1693]

I've been studying endocrinology for a while now. There's a lot of benefits to using exogenous testosterone.

[Tony_1693]

I do have a girlfriend. She worries sometimes but she's also in the medical field and realizes that steroids aren't all bad like the media hypes them up to be. She knows I'm a responbile user and even looks at my blood work when I get it done which is often.

[juliaanita]

@Tony_1693 You obviously know more than I do, but except in body building literature, I don't find a whole lot of upside, and rather a lot of downside.

Of course I respect your perspective-and it is your body. wish you well :)

[Tony_1693]

Yeah no problem aha. I give people the truth and usually tell others to stay away from steroids because they're not for everyone. You're committed yourself to a lifestyle when you take them. It's a lot of effort and work.. and money. Just try not to get too brainwashed by what everyone says. Read factual sources. People on gag literally know nothing about this stuff.

[goddess87]

Yes it will make him go into roid rage, grow boobs, and shrink his pee pee.

[itwasmelaniasfault]

It won't make him gemrow boobs haha its testosterone! If he starts take estrogen, then yeah.

[itwasmelaniasfault]

*grow

[Anonymous]

Probably should just dump him since your boyfriend is an idiot. Sure he may get bigger but his junk will srink. Eventually he wouldn't be able to get it up anymore so no more sex for you two. Then there is a possibility that it could cause his heart muscles to grow abnormally and blowing out his heart or him just having a heart attack from the extra strain on his box mixed with the physical exertion of working out. Or the one I would really hate to see, him cone down with a case of roid rage out of nowhere and beat the shit out of you or someone else or maybe even going as far as killing you or himself.

If you don't believe me look up stories of people on steroids. They fuck you up. Your boyfriend is an idiot who is risking his own life and your safety for his own narcissism. My advice is get away from him before something bad happens.

[itwasmelaniasfault]

This is what I came to say, thanks for writing it so I didn't have to.

[Pyrofox]

*Cough* He does know how steroid effect you know what right? Also its a cheap way of cutting corners if you want to get muscle mass as its really kills off as many cells as you are gaining.

90% of bodybuilders who used steroids died pretty young.

[Tony_1693]

90% of bodybuilders who used steroids died pretty young. Can you show me sources of this or did you just makenupnthat number?

[Pyrofox]

@Tony_1693 Well the point is that its easy to abuse it and it most famously recorded for those who are muscle builders. To need kidney transplants as it got to the point hormonally their bodies got to the point. They started to just internally falling apart. And yea the 90% number is a made up number. But there are a lot of negatives with steroids.

Almost as many negatives to steroids as there are postives. As its almost like taking birth control for men who abuse it. And its all to easy to abuse it as many places now a days dont care about the health side of things so long as they keep making money.

[Tony_1693]

I know first hand the negatives. Only few steroids impact the kidneys in any way though. I'm not promoting them and I usually advise people against them, but making up stuff that isn't really true isn't the best approach to keep people away.

[Kuraj]

Every bodybuilder uses steroids.
Those who don't, don't even look like they hit the gym.
Steroids are pretty much necessary if you want to do bodybuilding.

[Tony_1693]

@Kuraj I built an incredible physique naturally. Everyone already thought I was on steroids. You can a lot with your body naturally.

[Pyrofox]

@Tony_1693 Exactly man its amazing what you can do naturally so long as you eat right and believe in ones self.

[Anonymous]

I've been studying this for a while. If he's using a small to moderate dose just for a little boost (250-500mg/week of Test) you have very little to worry about. I'm lifetime natural, but I've been considering it for a while. 250/wk can add 10 lbs of lean muscle in 12 weeks with no side effects, and still be able to pass an Olympic doping test. I'll send you the study if you want.

[Tony_1693]

Nobody on this website knows a fucking thing about anabolic steroids lol. If you want some information, then you can DM. Not about to talk about it all here though.

[RuneScimitar]

there's so many bad side effects and the results dont last forever you have to keep doing it there's no point

[Tony_1693]

Steroids, when used responsibly, are not nearly as bad as you might think.

[Zionknight]

You should be. Steroids are a dangourous drug that leads to psychotic behavior.

[Iron_Man]

When you're young many people go for instant results. They think I'll be fine down the road there won't be any problems that's what doctors are for to fix me if something happens, I won't overdo it, then all of a. sudden they become addicted to it

[niomi04]

Steroid can have adverse effects on body if u don't take proper dosage and not under strict medical examination.. need to be accurate for that

[Claire2017]

Yes, the side effects are not good short or long term. Particularly as his partner.

[itsallover]

You should be worried. They can cause a plethora of health issues.

[ronaldo75]

Yeah you're about to start getting substandard dick. Get ready for lots of nights where he simply "can't perform". Also, Do NOT get angry when it happens... he might hurt you :(

[Tony_1693]

I've been using steroids for two years now as a bodybuilder and my sex drive has only improved dramatically.

[Samurrrr]

Steroids replace testicles so his nuts are gonna eventually shrink. In some cases, he might lose fertility. Steroids are definitely a bad thing and try to get him off of them ASAP!

[Michael-Dark]

But testesterones will be back when he stops taking steroids

[Michael-Dark]

Testicles*

[denver22]

If he's in the fitness industry... it maybe ok.. that's what people say.. Since once I really wanted take those but gave up.. Being natural is more than enough 😊

[normielover6969xD]

Hah. Good luck with all the health problems he'll be having

[Geldour]

Yup, say goodbye to having spare cash around for vacations etc

[Cherry__Pie]

another one of these above average genetics idiots.

[rapfan107]

Yes those things are gonna make his dick small and can make him crazy

[illbuytacos]

Small sanchez will be coming in shortly

[Reddwolf]

yes it can affect the body

[Bandit74]

He wants 99 strength

[RuneScimitar]

Runescape reference lol

[Bandit74]

I couldn't resist 🙈

[kenjaminSlutton716]

Yeah he's a pussy
