i knew once i got a taste of steroids, i would find it hard to stop,knowing my somewhat obsessive personality

plus i knew i wanted to build a physique that i could sustain longterm without any medical problems

bottom line,steroids works,and in moderation and under medical supervisition,is quite safe

each to his own

Athlete can mean many things.

Steroids, when combined with a knowledgeable person, great diet and routine can allow a person to sustain an otherwise unachievable muscle to fat ratio while bulking, and accelerate the process as well. They can be used safely.

It's like a fat person who gets there stomach stapled or uses the "band". It's a way to make it easier for people who couldn't do it through regular work.

ha. You're so wrong it's not even funny. Most of the people I know who have dabbled with anabolics have dedication to bodybuilding that most people will never have to anything in their life. You have absolutely no idea how hard you have to work to get everything you can from a cycle. How often do you set your alarm for 4am to get up and eat a meal when you don't have to be up until 7? How often do you eat an entire jar of natty peanut butter at work, every single day? How many times have you trained so hard you puked? In addition to this, many people who use anabolics have reached their genetic limit and want to go beyond this, which is impossible naturally. You should really educate yourself on the subject before making posts like this.

Huh? You haven't "achieved" anything by using steroids. I guess you could say you achieved a certain look in the same sense I would if I got peck implants and lypo. One is surgical and one is pharmacological.

You're the only sad thing I see around here, see my post above. You're clearly uneducated on this subject, and your assumptions are way off base. When I did my first cycle, I hardly had a social life because I was eating all day and couldn't drink or party. I gave up a lot of things because I didn't want to be away from home because I didn't want to miss a meal. I got up in the middle of the night every night to eat. I trained ****** off in the gym. I worked for every bit of muscle I gained.

You've got to be kidding me. Do a google search and read something other than a bodybuilding forum. Steroid takers tend to be the guys who couldn't hack it in high school sports. Maybe they started taking them then, but inevitably they are the kids who weren't as good as the talented kids. Rather than either accepting their situation or working hard at actually training they took the easy way out and cheated. Most of the time the results aren't even that impressive from a sports standpoint because just being bigger doesn't make you superior to a talented athlete even in a sport like football. The adults who do steroids are pretty similar. Vain to the extreme, they "bodybuild" for vanity rather than fitness- an illusion of health and masculinity since they are basically destroying their kidneys and joints while subjecting themselves to a host of disgusting side effects including literally shrinking ********. These pro-steroid rants aren't uncommon where guys claim that steroids are the fountain of youth or compare steroids to smoking pot. Both of those assertions are so absurd I am not even going to dignify them with a response.
