I looked for about 20 min and couldn’t find this topic, per se. Found some awesome articles though. For sure there is an amazing amount of information at this site ; )
I am just curious as to how many people use the stuff. Be it long ago, a ‘friend’ or just any experiences with the hormones. Looking back, was it worth it? Would you do it again? Or still plan on more cycles?
I really am just curious. At one time I weighed over 280lbs, I was still gaining almost a lb a day after about 6 months of trying to gain weight. Now that was through 4 days a week at the gym. And no hormones besides those of a ‘natural’ 25 yr old male. Using a cycle crossed my mind, but I never took the plunge.
Some people might have a problem with me asking. hahaha That’s fine, just don’t reply. Plus I’m sure the DEA has other concerns in the world right now, other than a body building forum : ) There is a saying of: curiosity killed the cat. Yet I know satisfaction brought the lil’ fucker back ; ) Thanks fellas, and women who will respond : )
What does this post even mean? How many people on this site? How many people do you expect to answer, outside of people specifically on the steroid forum?
You weighed over 280? Okay? Fat Albert weighed over 380 and he never set foot in the gym nor did he ever touch a synthetic hormone outside of the ones contained in the preservatives in his Ding Dongs.
Anyway, it’s not like you are posing a question you could ever get a usable answer from.
Who uses steroids? Everybody! We all use cholesterol!
Looks like they moved his thread, I wonder if the OP will find it again?

Being fat and getting fatter isn’t much to brag about.
Seriously though, I just checked out your photos, looks like you were in a pretty nasty wreck. You mentioned a car, but were you in it or did you hit one on your motorcycle?
I lift at a private college gym which has from talking to my highschool buddies who go elsewhere, a fairly high rate of steroid usage.
The college contains approximately 4000 undergrad students. Out of the 25 or so “serious lifters” who I know at the gym, I know for a fact that 15 of them are currently on, or have recently done a testosterone cycle. Out of the remaining 10, I know that atleast 4-5 of them are on some type of prohormone etc. Several of them have used cycles with deca, dbol, and quite a few of them winstrol. I would say that there are another 20 lifters who I would place in the “serious lifters” category (keep in mind I mean serious for 20-22 year old college students). Out of those 20, I suspect atleast 15 of them of some type of either prohormone, steroid etc.
Now this number seems like a lot, and proportinately for people I consider “serious lifters” it is high, well over half of the big lifters I know and see on a regular basis are most likely on a testosterone cycle.
However, take this number into the aggregate of the total student population, this number is less than 1 percent of the total, very small. This doesnt count the several baseball players and swimmers etc. that have used winstrol only cycles etc. but I dont think there are too many music majors loading up on test and tren.
I would say that in general only about 1% of the population uses steroids, however if you focus on the group of individuals who seriously lifts, this number sky rockets. I would say that its all relative. Are a lot of the big guys in the gym on something? Depending on the gym culture, probably. Are jack and jane who you see walking the dog in the neighborhood on something? Most likely not.
Thanks for everyone who has answered me with an honest response. I really do appreciate it : ) I didn’t see the whole ‘steroid’ section before. One of those things, when you look for something, and can’t see even when they are right in front of you ; ) Once it was moved, the section was easy to find : D
As for the other people who were dumbfounded by my post, yeah I know I was confusing. When I weighed 280, that was after I started at 150 and it might be a surprise, but when I said working out 4 days a week, sshhh it was at a gym. Quiet, don’t let people interpret stuff on their own. It’s hard to decipher what I mean by ‘taking steroids’ but DO I really need to hold your hand? I know you have must have a massive pair, I hear stories about those big balls you have, after you take any form of steroid. And don’t try to pretend that you know more than me. Yes you might know more figures than me, but I’m willing that even with my current disabilities, I can make you look like a drooling, babbling dumb fuck. No? Really? Well then, without looking the name up on the internet (even if you did I wouldn’t care), name the enzyme that converts cholesterol into testosterone? Or how about who is more responsive to esterdiol, males or females? If you think, and I emphasize, YOU THINK you know more information than me, it’s only stuff that you found on the internet. Well, I don’t want this to be a surprise. But there are a lot of dumb fucks who post a ton of shit on the internet, so don’t believe everything you read. Some might even be your bestest friends. I bet they have big balls like you. Go hug and sit in the steam room together, then you can cry about how the gimp made you feel like a bitch! (sorry ladies, if you even read this) ; )
B and Spudz, what is your interpretation of why people try the stuff? Hormones will not change the amount of muscle you can carry at the end of a cycle. Yes, more might be had during a cycle but after the chemicals are used, the gains disappear and the peaks will never be attained again. It doesn’t make any sense to this guy ; )
you can maintain gains better with certain chemicals. but it all boils down to the person. you can use the best chem. available to maintain gains post-cycle and be a lazy slob with a shit diet and lose more then you started with.
that’s probably a main reason lots of people with gear experience don’t want people that are new to lifting jumping on gear, b/c they won’t know how to maintain it and it’ll be a waste.

Fixed.
Look up hCG too, since you clearly haven’t heard of it. Big balls galore.
Well i have to disagree with the whole “not able to change the amount of mass your body will carry”, case in point … me. I was about 155-160 pounds when i started experimenting with chemicals. 15 years later i was about 300lbs, now off of all heavy androgens i maintain a fairly lean 260 lbs.
I GUARANTEE you that i would never have been able to do that without my drug history…its just a fact. Yes, androgens and “other” performance enhancing shemicals used long enough will PERMANENTLY change you.
pain - I really am interested in understanding how you exactly attained those true gains. What do you think your secret was? From my understanding the reason most people will respond well, but have draw backs is because the hormones are not natural and have a longer hormonal half life. So when people generally take androgen’s, they have the side effects because the hormones normally released, are in a pulsital manner. When a ‘man-made’ hormones doesn’t have a short half life, well the cells become less responsive to the normal hormones. Did you happen to give smaller shots on a more frequent basis? And I didn’t think you could gain more than what your body could normally carry, my bad : )
thatguy - sorry dude, didn’t realize I was in mammalogy with a bunch of grad students shrug
bbb - naw man, I’m not worked up at all ; ) I really didn’t even see the topic section before. Hell I couldn’t find it until the mods moved it to the correct place : ) As for your previous request, I haven’t forgotten about you, things have been ramping up recently. I had my femoral rod taken outlast week along with the screws holding my ankle together. So as I gimp back and forth between school and home I’m running out of time : ) It should be a clue as I type this, it’s 2am on a Friday. Yet I don’t even drink, very often ; ) But I will find the section in the book. The only problem arises if I am thinking of the wrong book! ; )
