Have/Would you consider Anabolic Steroids ?

Before anyone kicks off and says it is cheating , if you have or are using them you will know it is nonsense .. unless you are a casual gym rat playing with hormones haha

So as the title implies , Have/Would you ? I'm not asking what you are/are not on .. but again if you want to share it then this thread could be a good way to speak to other serious athletes.

Reasons Yes , reasons No ?

Interested to see some feedback from the fitness community , i have only the past few weeks started actively using Sythe and i am surprised i haven't seen a thread similar to it .

 

I would never consider anabolic steroids, they have disgusting long term effects which ruin you..

 

????????? People N O T on steroids are you too shy to voice your opinion ?

 

I'm not juicing and I do not see myself juicing in the future, but I can't say doing a 15 week test cycle hasn't crossed my mind. My results are enough for me and I'm not trying to put on a ridiculous amount of mass, so staying natural makes sense to me. Steroids aren't as bad as people make them out to be, but the stigma remains regardless of thorough research.

 

Listen , a man after my own heart . KNOWS HIS OWN MIND , KNOWS HIS OWN GOALS. But pure not to but ANY PRESSURE ON U as 1 lifting brother to another , when ( & if ) you meet your absolute maximum && i mean diet , food weight etc.. and you simply want to go up a notch (or 2,3,4,5x) in the weights ... just a test cycle aside, putting various other compounds in the mix ( trenbolone ) to really meet a max lift ... not to show off to the Mrs or brag in the pub because a real lifter is not about that .. it is in your SOUL what you can acomplish ,, Would you try it once ?

 

Maybe if I wasn't able to hit my goal, but my goal right now is 9-10% bf and I don't need tren for that. Once I hit 9-10% and start bulking, I'll see

 

It depends on what you're trying to achieve. A lot of guys are clean, but a lot of guy cheat to achieve maximum performance. (I.e. models, actors, bodybuilders, athletes, etc.)

I played college football for about a year and there were guys that were full blown juicers that it was ridiculously crazy how fast their gains were compared to the rest. I've participated in anabolic agents but never something that was considered banned by FDA or whoever regulates. What NCAA regulates is another story lol- they don't allow like anything.

 

I agree with you in this sense because you're just destroying your body by taking them. Obviously this has become a big issue in sports, primarily baseball, and the goal is to achieve maximum performance in your field like @BartonsVodka said, but is it really worth it to put your body in danger?

 

Honestly the long term effects are too awful for me, id' rather not gain as much mass/muscle and not have any health effects.

 

I have done multiple cycles. Before I begin, I want you all to know that I have spent thousands of hours researching hormones and this is my personal opinion.

If you're going to do your first cycle, consider doing a mild testosterone cycle.

Why?

- Your lifts will go through the roof (literally) say goodbye to old personal records.
- You'll gain a massive amount of muscle in your first cycle if you have a proper diet along with training, I personally managed to gain close to 30 LBS of muscle in just 12 weeks.
- You'll also be very horny and your girlfriend will love you for that.
- You feel like god, plenty of energy throughout the day, your metabolism also gets increased which will help you burn more fat.


The side effects from testosterone are very mild, if any at all. If you follow the right protocol and not abuse the drug you will not have any issues, the only issue you might have is with estrogen, however, you should use arimidex while on cycle to control that issue (bloating, itchy nipples/gyno.)

A basic cycle for you would look like the following.

Testosterone enanthate @ 500mg per week (Usually 1 ml of test is dosed at 250mg of testosterone.)

You inject twice a week, I normally do Monday and Thursdays.
You inject 250mg on Monday and 250mg on Thursday for 12 weeks.

While on cycle you should be taking 0,5mg of arimidex every other day (EOD)

I'd suggest you wait at least 7 days after starting your cycle to begin the supplementation of arimidex.

After 12 weeks is up, you wait 14 days before you start POST CYCLE THERAPHY (PCT)

Post cycle therapy is the most important part of the cycle, this is the recovery process to start up your balls again so they'll start producing testosterone.

I do a 3 week PCT cycle. Consists of Clomid and Nolvadex.

100 mg of clomid for the first week
75 mg of clomid for the second week
50mg of clomid for the third week

Most people stick to 50mg clomid due to the side effects from it (going to high on clomid will make you emotional like a 14 year old girl)

I go quite heavily on clomid as it will get my balls going guaranteed.

While on PCT you also want Nolvadex.

40 mg of nolvadex for the first week
40 mg of nolvadex for the second week
20 mg of nolvadex for the third week
20 mg of nolvadex for the fourth week

During PCT you also want to keep your workouts short so you don't go catabolic and lose those hard earned gains.

This is a very basic beginner cycle that is safe if you stick to this protocol. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

 

I was very against it, but with time constraints I've had this past year my health has declined more than if I had supplemented with roids and kept fit. So I've considered it recently. I think it depends on the situation, if you've got all the time in the world to workout, I don't understand why you'd juice, but when you're working 16-20+ hours a day, the boost could make the difference between letting yourself go entirely or staying/getting ripped.

 

Posts like this are why haven't ever tried anything. It's complicated as fuck, even with all the research you do there is always 10 more people saying that what you have read is wrong, and in the end I'd probably just grow man tits and be fucked.

 

Yes, it is complicated as fuck, you need to do research so you know exactly what you're getting into, this is serious shit.

 

Yes it takes a lot of research , some people swear by getting their bloods done on a weekly basis but to be honest .. you will know your own body .. if your getting puffy nipples up the a/dex ( blockers ) i know plenty of idiots who juice up and don't eat , which is absolutely pointless , diet is probably a bigger part than any for growing .

 

Yes, diet is key even when on steroids. Without proper nutrition nothing will happen, it isn't some magic drug, you gotta work your ass off and that's when the magic kicks in.

Getting bloods done weekly would be extremely expensive, Ive never taken a blood test during my cycles, I always get mine a few months after the cycle has ended to check if I have recovered or not.

I personally wouldn't mind if I ended up on TRT, would have way better gains and could just blast/cruise year around.

 

agreed , only had my bloods done after a cycle a couple of times .. but now i just blast and cruise lmao can't stand coming off them especially this time of year . it's expensive & you can't take money with you when you pop your clogs . i'd rather die on the bench press than in a bingo hall .

 

Steroids also make me feel good, I feel more energetic, clearer in head, stronger, I recover faster, the list of benefits just goes on...Testosterone in particular isn't going to kill you as it's quite a mild drug but yet powerful.

 

I never done it and never will. But i'm not against the people that use it, i just don't see a reason for it as my life goals aren't associated with sports and it's more like a side hobby, if i was going on a competition level i don't see why not, because everyone uses them anyway.
