my nephew is 21. goes to one of the top engineering schools in america with a 3.6 average. he is going to graduate in 3 years instead of 4 and go to law school (columbia).
this weekend he was up to our house and while drinking told us he is on the juice. he is hanging out at a local gym where all the juice heads hang out. i knew a bunch of his old loser friends (they are working in the parks for a living) were on & got huge. he wants the same.
what do i do? he trusts me & my wife so what do i do? he was a fantastic high school athlete but was always on the small size. 5’10" 160.
Explain the side effects and alternatives. Biotest makes plenty of products that are similar to steroids, but don’t have the side effects. Plus he has a lot of gains to make still. I have gone through the same phase he is. I am 21 and have a bunch of guys from work that are “on”. They have been talking it up a lot. The 3 biggest influences not too were the guest atomic dog in issue #219 and I have been asking a lot of girls if they would like to have a guy with a pretty good body and drug free or a great body on juice. They all said the same thing. They would rather have a drug free guy. The third reason that I said no was the fact I have accomplished alot since I have started lifting and this is a great forum where you can get great advice and tips and share in peoples lifes.
Respect his decision even though you don’t agree with it. If you really want to help him, learn as much as you can on the subject and then help educate him. Go to the steroid and drug section of the forum and go to meso-rx and read everything. Make sure he keeps to short cycles (6-8wks at most) and uses the appropriate ancillary drugs to prevent side effects. Also make sure he is off at least as long as he is on. Hopefully he will be happy with the results from the one cycle. Very few guys can actually stop at one cycle however. While I don’t think a 21 yr. old is mature enough to do a cycle, it would likely be impossible to persuade him to stop. If his friends have gotten huge results it would have been difficult for him to not give in to the temptation. He sounds like a pretty smart kid, support him and keep him communicating with you. If you express your dissaproval in an angry way with him he will likely stop communicating with you. Steroids are not neccessarily inherently dangerous if used at sane doses and with proper precautions. Good luck.
a lot of my friends come to me to “hook them up,” but believe me i never do. i will start asking them questions about steroids (ie different cycles, best stacks, etc) and only one has come up with a correct answer. after this, i will just say “until you can answer all my questions and then teach me something, dont juice.” all but one of my friends have reconsidered, (the other is taking 4ad. he was so hell bent on getting huge he insisted on taking something.) now, as college kids, its hard to tell them not to do something b/c we all have the mentality that we are young and nothing bad will happen to us. just my two cents.
if he’s 21, 5’10" and 160, i’d bet he doesn’t know anything about eating to get big. so one of three things is going to happen: #1, he’ll learn to eat right and he’ll grow like he should, #2 he will continue to eat like shit and not grow, then get frustrated and quit juicing, or #3, he’ll still eat like shit, and blame it on too little juice, then he’ll up it a lot and end up having bad ass side effects and screwed up health, and maybe weight 170…
drinking with his relatives while on juice… i can only imagine out with his buds. you really only can keep his confidence or rat on him to his parents and cause trouble where his parents want to police a 21 year old which isnt gonna happen
