The Flame-Free Confession Thread

What? No mention of the running headbutt?

I kept waiting for the kid to yell “There Can Be Only One!” as he charged across the living room.

My 2.5 year old son headbutted my mom in the pool while playing… bloodying her nose and concussing her. He was crying cause “yaya is bleeding!”

“Yeah buddy. YOU did that!”

Just a thought.

I’ve been off roids for close to 3 years and I’m not even thinking of starting again in the near future. But then I have a pretty resilient HPTA so my levels are back to normal for a person my age.

But imagine if I didn’t have such a resilient HPTA and I didn’t feel like using anymore after using for a few years. I would probably be worse off than my starting point after a while if I didn’t get on TRT.

Also, I’m not a cop who has posted lots of personal information online plus making a declaration of my intent to use roids.

I’ve only heard of one arrest for steroids in eight years where I’m at and I can assure you that it wasn’t me.

And drifting closer to the line of using is merely an internal dialog at this point.

I’m on TRT, That’s my confession.

I was 170 before I started. While I think it’s replacement, while on TRT I got more jacked than I ever would have without it.

My trough is 650. My peak is borderline supraphysiological - 1100 at least.

I lift heavier on the days following my shots. I split my shots into twice a week so I had two days of high T to maximize muscle.

I blasted. I cruised.

My balls are small.

I don’t GAF.

I wish my T was naturally higher, but since it isn’t, I’m going to make the most of TRT.

It’s a mofo - can be great, can be ruinous. Do the research, know what you are getting into. It’s really not a panacea.

I’m just saying if you want to start using, just do it but don’t write anything about it online if you’ve already posted your personal details. Especially since you are a cop. There’s really no benefit in doing that. Maybe I’m a lot more cautious than I should be but you never know what will happen in the future.

*I have guys who do a lot of data mining for me for business purposes and you would be surprised how much data you can get out an individual without even looking through his online interactions.

There is no blasting and cruising on TRT and if you use T in MEDICINAL doses you will become hypogonadal and then REALLY need TRT. TRT is not used for those with normal T values. It’s no different than treating any clinical deficiency and you’d have no advantage in anything by using it with normal T values. And a competent and ethical physician doesn’t prescribe it to eugonadal men.

There is no blasting on cruising on a medicinal 100 mg of T per week. I don’t mean to sound like a know-it-all but I’d like to hammer home a difference to those who don’t know. Using 200 mg or more per week is not TRT. Blasting and cruising isn’t TRT. Using other steroids with a medicinal amount of T is not TRT. Going to supraphysiological values isn’t TRT. Actually if one uses 100 mg then what is a cruise? Coming off? Good luck with that when you’re values go to 100 or so ng/dl. See how you feel. :flushed:

I’ve seen the terms “blast and cruise” and it’s not TRT. It’s 500mg of Test a week for a cycle and then the “cruise” part is more along the lines of normal medicinal use when off the cycle.

I’m not sure if people in that category needed TRT originally and decided to take things further or if their high Test usage made it so they needed TRT to be normal after the cycle.

Sorry if I caused any confusion. It’s good old fashioned steroid use.

Weren’t you pretty anti TRT when you were trying clomid monotherapy?

Nope. I tried HCG monotherapy thirteen years after being on TRT to become fertile. It turned out T for 100 mg per week and 1000 IU HCG thrice per week had and has me feeling far better and brought my sperm count up sevenfold, so I wound up with my son. Staying on HCG til I’m done having children.

I’ve been on TRT since late 2001 or early 2002.

Yeah, I just went back through that, saw it was HCG.

So thrilled you were able to have a son. Congrats.

My daughter turns 15 tomorrow, holy shite has time flown. My son is twelve. WTF?

But, at some point, all dudes on TRT start thinking about a blast, and it’s a bad idea.

Trust me.

I taught my 2 year old to point and yell “SHUTUP LOSER”.

Had the in-laws over. Father is a bit self-righteous and yammers on a lot.

2 year old points and yells “SHUTUP LOSER”.

Gets in trouble. Later, wife says"she was mortified", I say “he must of picked it up at day care, he doesn’t know what he’s saying”. Manners are important but it did shut the old gas bag up, I’ve never been prouder lol

I’ve thought about getting my T-levels checked. I have absolutely zero symptoms of low testosterone besides being weak but it’d be nice to have an excuse for it, you know?

I have thought this too but don’t really want to have to medicate so can’t be bovered. I figure I’ll just play the hand I’m dealt.

For health, using steroids in bodybuilding dosages is not a good idea. Hence why I never had much of an interest in doing so after initially toying with the idea at nineteen years old, back in 1998.

I never ever wanted to be on TRT and to this day I sometimes get annoyed that I have to use medication of any sort! I consider doctor’s and pharmacy visits and occasional phone calls with insurance and the fertility pharmacy utterly annoying! I don’t know anyone who WANTS a medical condition!

And thank you very much. My son is thirteen months old now.

I re-read this and now I see your point.

The problem with intermittent “blasts”, even if one must remain on T lifelong, is that blasting can cause other medical problems.

Of course! Why do you think I’m so terrified of messing with my system!?

As I get older training gets harder. My kids are growing and soon they’ll start having their own activities. I’m pretty sure my available time and energy for training is going to steadily decrease as time goes on.

Frustration over trying it the old fashioned way grows with each passing (and somewhat failing) year. It makes PEDs more appealing but I’m still a long ways away from that point. There’s too much at stake.

I guess you could say if there were two points on a line with one being “I’ll never use steroids” and the other is “I love steroids and can’t get enough” then I’ve drifted towards the latter. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being “I’ll never use…” then I’m sitting at like an 8.

Another reference (in my head) is that a 5 on that line would be someone who could go either way at any moment. A 4 would be someone with one cycle under their belt. A 1 would be a crazy mass monster.

Did that help explain my state of mind? :laughing:

If you use PEDs, you will simply get to a slightly higher level where you will still face the same challenges trying to improve from there as you are facing now unless you continually increase the amount of drugs.

If you are cycling on and off(no cruising), maintaining the gains from cycling will depend on your recovery and natural genetic limit.

If you aren’t the type who is able to recover fast between cycles, there will be even more stress in your life and problems with your performance since your T levels will be that of a hypogonadal man for a couple of months.
