What's the big deal if the muscle/strength doesn't stay when you stop taking them?

Most of it does, if you use them correctly.

Steroids are not a magic pill/shot that make you big and strong on their own. It still requires lots of intense and correct weight training and protein intake. You will lose some size and muscle stamina, off cycle, but you don't all of sudden lose all of your strength and size. After all, you still retain muscle memory.

Sweet, hook me up

1/28/2006 11:18:05 AM

i've always wanted to try a cycle.

Steriods will give you awesome gains, but the long term effects will fuck you for the rest of your life.

^^ Yea, same here - Just to see how much of an effect it would have on my tiny body

I'm just not crazy about injecting the junk.

^^ there are a lot of different kinds with different side effects

do a little research and you will find out there are some that arent really that bad for you

Yea its a GREAT idea to 'try' a cycle. The truth is that how you respond is a crap shoot. You may find yourself with a grapefruit sized prostate and bitch tits (or maybe just acne), is it really worth that fucking risk?

Buliding muscle without steriods is fucking easy if you eat and train correctly. Dont be a pussy.

anything other than protein should be considered cheating and all people who lift and take steriods should be ostracized from society

muscle is a gift from god

1/28/2006 1:30:38 PM

^^ That's fine - who wants to give me my first shot?

1/28/2006 1:30:53 PM

many arent injectable

1/28/2006 1:31:45 PM

shit i'll be honest i use to wanna try steriods too, back in highschool when i lifted a lot

1/28/2006 1:31:51 PM

Well then lets just consider weight-lifting cheating. You do it to enhance your performance and it can be dangerous.

most people i've known who juice do it with pills. i only know a couple of people who've shot them.

you do lose strength on the off cycles, but if you gain x amount of strength with steroids, then only lose 0.4x when you cycle off, you've made a substantial net gain.

and yeah, they aren't a magic bullet. basically, they allow you to train hard as hell, and then you get more results from that training than if you weren't juiced.


i've never used them, though, for a variety of reasons:

1. Expensive
2. Extremely illegal, and if I got caught (and I get the whiz quiz once every couple of months), I'd be unemployed, at best.
3. Potential for VERY bad side effects
4. I don't ever want to hear "Yeah, he's really strong, BUT..."

Duke has the right idea, especially with #3, #4 - but especially for him in #2.

I've been small all my life, finally starting get more into a work out routine (if anyone wants to put one together for me, that would be great) and I've never even considered something like steroids just because I don't want to be all buff by cheating.

1/28/2006 3:58:57 PM

I am amazed that guys are still getting busted, and LOSING 6 FIGURE INCOMES for freaking nothing.... well actually we have established a pattern here, they should have never tried to trade LACK OF SKILLS for mucles.


I love busting juicers, they are fakes beyond fakes and the best part is that every guy that has a normal gym and cardio routine gets to go " See Ya, Mr. Attitude!"

Juicers are Losers...



Bar None, espicially in my work environment which is alot different from the norm.

1/28/2006 6:44:22 PM

BUT I LIKE THE IDEA OF DRUG INDUCED EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS AND SHRINKING TESTICLES

1/28/2006 7:02:16 PM

i was watching TRUE LIFE on MTV and they had this guy that took steroids to meet his goal of being on a health magazine cover. it made me wonder what percentage of guys on muscle fitness and men's health mags are actually juiced up, B.

1/28/2006 7:13:40 PM

covers of fitness magazines....most probably not
covers of bodybuilding magazines, 100% yes.

1/28/2006 7:27:40 PM

mucles

1/28/2006 9:23:12 PM

honestly i use to always wonder the % of people in the mr olympia competition that were juiced.

1/28/2006 11:59:01 PM

probably almost none.

1/29/2006 1:15:29 AM

EVERYONE is juiced in the Olympia...they do pseudo-drugtests

1/29/2006 9:00:02 AM

if you wanna know a good reason not to take them, they can decrease your ability to produce sperm because your body will quit making as much testosterone because you are taking the steroids. lots of men who have taken steroids can't have children.

also the part about the prostate being enlarged, breast development and acne is all quite true.

steroids are a terrible idea...

Plus they're quite expensive(if you actually plan on using the proper post-meds).

The truth is that unless you have a great diet, proper sleep, and have a good foundation after years of training then you are just throwing your money away.
