Ignorance is bliss.
When I was about 15 or 16 back in about 2004 I took some pro-hormones without knowing that they could be bad for me. At the time I was in football and looking to get stronger since I was pretty weak at the time. I came across an advertisement by Nutrex either in a magazine or online, but I’m thinking it was a magazine because I think I ordered them through a mail order catalog. I was young and didn’t know any better so I figured since they were not illegal, because I could just order them so easily, they not were steroids and therefore have no possibility of being harmful.
When I ordered them I ordered some sort of stack which contained the pro-hormone, which I believe was 1-tu, a supplement called Vitargo CGL, and maybe a third item but I don’t remember for sure but it was a bottle of each. When I joined football The coach wanted me to put on some weight so I was working out at the time and I recall a large boost in my strength after I started taking them. I recall struggling with 135 in bench and then being able to hit 165 with ease over that time period.
I never ended up finishing any of the items, but I did take them for about 2-3 weeks. The reason I stopped taking them was because at the time I didnt know what a pro-hormone was, I think it said it on the bottle itself, but I looked it up on Yahoo’s search engine and I found someones post on a forum stating that pro-hormones are in essence just legal steroids. I promptly threw everything away.
I never had any side effects but on occasion I think back and wonder if I could have possibly hurt myself someohow. For a while I thought I might have given myself a slight case of Gyno since I seem to accumalate a good amount of bodyfat on my chest but I have never looked into it since it looks nothing whatsoever like pictures of actual Gyno. What are the possibilities I messed up my hormones just a little bit?
