How Have Steroids Impacted Your Life?

why tf would i do tren. i have no desire. i will stick with injectables only, preferably compounds that don’t make me feel like shit like tren. if you read my first post i said i wouldn’t go above 500mg of test, that’s out of health reasons. why in the absolute f*ck would i run tren if i wont even go beyond 500mg of test?

Was your CBC off cycle?

never advocated it by the way, this is my life. never asked for anyone’s approval to be honest, y’all brought that on yourselves. can you show me what’s wrong with my bloods please?

my cbc was actually during the last 2 ish weeks of my masteron cycle

Your hematocrit is high. Your blood is thick. Red Cross won’t take a donation at 53%. Above 53% and you are at risk for a stroke, heart attack and left ventricular enlargement. Surprised your Dr doesn’t bitch you out for using steroids. Don’t listen to me. I’m just a dummy. My son has the Ivy League Phd not me.

remember that was on steroids… you do realize my bloods are even better now that i’m off right now, right?

eh, RBC has a HL of roughly 100 days, so takes a while to get over AAS induced blood thickening (I hesitate to say polycythemia as you’re bloods look pretty good).

I’m a kid on juice, however I’ve been on TRT since age 16 and have never used more than 250mg test/wk (or total hormones), at one point for a week I took like 175mg test/wk and 25mg anavar/day… but that only lasted about six days), so technically I have used “high doses”, but only for about six days.

look, bottom line i didn’t even ask any of you to give me a lecture. i asked a question on how it impacted y’all lives, could’ve been a great thread but then i said my age. the fact that if you’re 30, you can use steroids which STILL affects your whole body just like it does mine, doesn’t make sense to me. my testosterone is still high after 2 cycles. my blood work is all within range even on cycle. i know it will chronically damage me, i’ve seen enough of that on the internet. but if i was 30 years old just know it would do the same damn damage. but if i was 30 nobody would be saying sh*t🤣

Are they? I realize you are 19, started juicing at 17 and no one can tell you it’s a mistake. It’s not my body so what do I care?

i have one question though, be honest. given the circumstances, don’t you think my bloodwork is pretty damn good?

& i know the typical steroids mindset for a teen is “more more more!!!” my dude that’s not my plan. i use them as a “hack to life” if you will. i don’t plan on taking sky high doses. i honestly picked masteron because i thought it was one of the most healthiest injectables, other than effects on cholesterol. of course i try to combat that by eating a lot of monosaccharides.

not entirely, the prefrontal cortex (give or take a few years depending on genes) will keep developing until you’re mid twenties (not to say there’s zero 18 y/o with a fully developed prefrontal cortex, I don’t know, I’d assume it’s unlikely). The prefrontal cortex contains androgen receptors, and the effects of flooding said receptors with excess androgen (thus saturating said receptors) is unknown, studies have shown in adults (not kids) that prolonged, very high dose AAS use causes structural differences in the users brains (without any statistically significant apparent change in behaviour, depressive scores or cognitive function), that being said, there may be a neurotoxic aspect to AAS, and like alcohol (potentially marijuana) and other drugs, damage is typically more magnified when use is started younger (neurologically).

It’s already been shown via studies that starting to use marijuana before age 17 gives the user a 5x chance of acquiring acute or chronic psychosis compared to people who start at 17+.

Do I think there’s that much of a difference if how one ends up behaving if they use responsibly… probably not, however most teenagers aren’t mature enough to make decisions like choosing whether they should blast and cruise, it’s a HUGE decision.

I myself don’t think I’m mature enough to be cycling (even though my doses are very low), I do; however think that I’m an irresponsible idiot sometimes, and thus I do stupid things, like use 250mg test/wk

Again, your rbc count is high. Your blood is thick. I was honest the first time and I have had to repeat myself. Other than that I am not a MD. What does your Dr say?

Steroids were great for my childhood in the '80’s. Arnold, He-Man, Rambo, The Thundercats, all jacked and wildly entertaining. Pro wrestlers were all roided up and giving insane promo speeches like The Ultimate Warrior, which is about the coolest thing an 8 year old could imagine.
I rolled a lot of fighters in Dungeons and Dragons, even got a Paladin with 18 (00) in Baldur’s Gate once.

I used some kind of steroid back in the early 00’s because I had some inflammation in my ulnar nerve or some crap like that. Can’t remember the name of it, but it ended up getting taken off of the market later on. My doctor gave it to me, it worked, and it didn’t hurt me so I couldn’t take part in the class action lawsuit that sprung up around it.

I sometimes follow the steroid forum here and it’s sometimes a guilty bit of schadenfreude, sometimes interesting and usually entertaining. It also makes me grateful that I’m 39 and in good health. I need to drop a few more pounds and probably eat more veggies, but I’m still perfectly on track to get taken by surprise and die early of a freak accident or rare disease like most of the men on my dad’s side. Most importantly, my johnson works just as well as it did when I was 19. .

I mean, I’ll need a few breaks if we’re going the distance, and maybe 20 minutes to bounce back instead of 5, but I also don’t pop wood in public at the sight of a shapely thigh and can resist the urge to sleep with good-looking train wrecks who are great in bed.

It’s a decent trade-off.

Did you ever have sex before getting on a cycle? I think it’s pretty normal for a 19 year old to be able to screw like howler monkeys long after the lady has lost interest. If you can only screw like a normal 19 year-old when you’re on a cycle, it might be something worth thinking about.

explained to my doctor the circumstances. told him the other aspects of my life, and i was straight up with him. i told him i take anabolics and he advised against it at first, but then we took a couple panels. he saw my levels and he said something along the lines of “i don’t advocate this, but i will help you take care of yourself.” he also told me that by looking at my panels that i have better bloodwork than a ton of people that have never even taken steroids.

steroids used for inflammation are corticosteroids, not anabolic steroids. However, didn’t you use testosterone at one stage at a supraphysiologic dose?

Nope.

haha yes i did, lost my virginity around 15. and yes i could still smash for a prolonged period of time, but on cycle now it’s for a PROLONGED prolonged period of time hahaha

I certainly wouldn’t be able to resist this urge if I got the opportunity… a three year dry spell has killed me. Would def wear a raincoat tho, fuck being likely infertile, an STI isn’t worth it

and by the way, in absolutely no way am i trying to be rude or a smarta**. i am just saying that i do not possess the normal teenage mindset of “let’s get f*cking HUGEEEE” that’s not in my desires. i could understand why you would think that, but that’s just not me, sorry. i prefer to run minimal doses that still impact my life massively. and if we are being real with each other, 300mg if test with 400mg of mast was damn amazing!!! i try to get as much as i can out of as little as possible.
