Why Do You Take Roids?

I m not totally against roids or totally for them, and maybe one day down the road I will try them out. My question for you guys though, is what is your reason for taking roids, HGH, Insulin, ext.

I understand if you are pursuing a career in body building or a pro athlete. But I know people that take them just as a short cut and have no idea what they are doing.

But i am just curious as to what everyone else has to say about them. I did not post this as a flame in anyway, im just wondering what everyone thinks

I thought you went to a doctor to get them (hemorrhoids)taken off. My bad.

You say you understand why competitive bodybuilders and pro athletes take steroids, but these are exactly the people who should NOT be taking them. Doing so gives them a big edge that pressures the other competitors, who might not want to for very good health reasons, to use them as well. That or they can face loosing to someone they probably shouldn’t have.

For the rest of us, if I gain another 10 pounds of muscle over the next few months with the needle, it’s not going to drive anyone out of a job or take a trophy or medal from anyone.

I understand and agree. But it seems that taking roids in pro sports is just keeping up now not getting ahead. But that is neither here nor there, im more interested in everyones personal reason for taking them.

In a post about a year or so ago, a good friend of mine, Juice 20, once said “because I can”

And I still agree with him. Because I can.

Reason 1 - You get to a stage where four months of trying everything different = no results so you bust through a plateau and put on 15+kg

reason 2 - Depending on which you use - they make you feel great in and out of the gym. The level of controlled agression it can generate within your pyschy (spelling?) gets you so hyped its almost like usung recreationals, which I no longer use

3 - Cause all of a sudden people are asking you what the hell you are doing at the gym and refer to a comparison between you and a gorilla

reasons to not take them -
Having said this I do not condone their use - nor advise anyone to use them. I did a long time ago without really knowing what I was doing and now have some soft gyno (breast fat not tissue) which needs to be removed and some internal problems - ended up in hospital because I used recreationals (lots of them) at the same time, burst a blood vessel in my spleen and have continued problems with gastric ulcers, about 3 weeks after the same cycle I ruptured a disk between L4 and L5 - doc says it was either from remaining dryness from stanazol or just from muscle strength increasing to fast thus outstripping joint strength - was in chromic pain for 6 months and out the gym for 12 months and lost 22kg - I got gastric ulcers, never had an ulcer before that. My knowledge since then has grown exponentially - just thought for those out there that are inclined to throwing caution to the wind, don’t do it. I no longer use recreationals and the next time I do a cycle I will make sure everything and I mean everything is taken care of - complete PCT - finasteride, a-dex liver detox and lots and lots of water and no toxins

Learn from this please - it can be done safely, you just got to use your brain- I didnt. I dropped from 97kg to 79kgs - not being able to train for 10months. Since then I have been able able to gain to 92 without gear over about four five months but have stopped dead in my tracks and can’t gain more muscle - fat easy, muscle no - am experimenting naturally to see how I can get through the plateau - might do a cycle under docs supervision, but not till I get lypo and the gland removed.

why should I not do it?

I have the money to buy juice and the intelligence read up on it and put together a cycle.

It’s like asking someone why they drive a car when we have bikes. Bikes are cleaner, they take up less space, and are good for your health. Overall bikes are a pretty feel good invention. Cars are way faster.

I primarily juice because I put so much time, energy and resources in and out of the gym. This is an added bonus I feel I deserve from all my hard work in the gym, the kitchen and researching. I also have a personality in which I like goals to be obtained at a faster rate than what is currently feasible, while keeping in mind overall health.

I would not consider my use as a shortcut, more of a means to an end that allows my goals to be closer in sight. What I mean by this is that my use does not allow for me to cheat on my meals, skip my workout, or indulge in activities that could potentially interfere with my success. In fact, I hold myself more responsible for a lifestyle that leads to my success, just so I can allow my self to use steroids. Shortcut is a word that could be used, but because of the negative connotation associated with it, shortcut does not seem to fit with my steroidal vernacular or ideology.

It seems to me that when someone takes a shortcut, they get to skip a few steps to obtain what they desire. Saving time and effort does not really fit in with what I want. Although, steroids can decrease the time between workouts and shorten the time to your current goal, it does not really save you any effort. In fact, it allows more energy to be expended during a workout and after with the increased anabolism, etc. I really do not believe steroids would allow anyone to be satisfied with their current level of performance since ones goals are continually changing. Meaning I will not stop working out at a given age when my goals have been accomplished.

Those who do not have any idea of what they are doing, whether it is in the weight room, kitchen, etc, should avoid the use of steroids. It is just my hypothesis that those who use and can not get into a proper routine of eating and lifting will suffer more psychologically than those who can get their act together. Plus, the potential adverse affects associated with steroid use can be potentiated by the fact that some users have no idea what they are doing or simply ignorant or in denial about the health consequences.

No matter how much juice you take, if you sit on your ass you will look like you sit on your ass. Steroids do not create a well functioning and great looking body, they only assist you; along with proper nutrition and training these goals can be achieved.

I suggest to those interested in steroids first get their training and nutrition on par before commencing steroid use and I suggest to you, OP, try steroids for yourself and you shall come to realize that there is not much of a difference between those who choose to use and those who do not, it is really only a stigma.

Because I like being crazy ripped, and I’m too lazy to do it the natural way.

i’m with you… also i like this other line “why not?”

12

Beacuse even though I know its a shitty dream to think I could make a career out of it ,Im not one to not try.

Besides once you go test its hard to go back.

  • Should also add , I almost lost a fight (at work) and promised myself I would never get that close to loosing again. (long story for a sep thread)

because they are the shit

because with proper training and eating habits I can make significant changes to my body in a 3 month period

because being big and ripped has benefited my tremendously with my career

Why do people people lift weights? If you can answer that question, you can answer why people take steroids.

Some people take them so they can have an edge on the competition. Some people take them so they can be huge. Some people take them so they can be strong. Some people take them so that they can make gains not possible without taking them. Some people take them because they want normal gains but don’t want to work as hard.

Me, personally, I’ve never touched a steroid. I’ve been in so many gyms, and wasted so many memberships over the last 8 years of my life. I’m easily motivated when I see results, and I’m easily un-motivated when I see no results.

I can go to the gym for 3 months straight, work my ass off, eat 4,000 calories a day and make some decent non-steroid gains, but I bust my ass for it and I’m unmotivated by the fact that it just all comes too slow.

I currently have a 3-year membership at a local gym and I’m definately not going back unless I get ahold of something to help me out. I just can’t make the type of gains that I expect to be making.

So, for now, I’m just doing pushups, pullups, and bodyweight exercises…I can’t wait to get ahold of a nice cycle.

I take steroids, several cycles t/o the year. Why? They make me feel better. With 1 testicle (long story, involves cancer) I feel like playing with barbie dolls when I am not on them. Not a horrible thing, seeing as how I have 2 daughters. But, I feel like a fake wothout them. I don’t feel like I was meant to feel.

MEN have Testosterone for a reason, we’re MEN. Pushing the natural enevelope further makes us who are or dare to be.
Steroid users, God Bless them all, each and everyone. For without these men who forge the unknown, most of this info would be unknown. G’day Mate.

It’s been much much easier to get laid since becoming seriously ripped over the past year thanks in large part to my decision to finally get on the juice. That’s reason enough for me.
