not gonna bash anything, but I’ll suggest that you take extra caution with steroids. A bunch of pro-wrestlers/body builders have died from heart failure at relatively young ages because they quit taking the stuff cold-turkey. Realistically, if you’re going to stop taking steroids, you’d wanna ease yourself off. I don’t know about the prohormones though. ---

Had lots of friends do it. It’s simple : you take it, you get big, quick. Usually the people who take it aren’t very hardcore gymmers - and they get real big quick. But : they have no stamina. None at all. They actually lose stamina I would bet. They get moody. Really moody. Kinda violent moody also. One minute they are happy then next minute if someone brushes up against them in a crowded bar they are all fucking gung ho about beating the shit out of people. And then the other things. They start to use other shit. If you mix steriods with anything, you get a stronger reaction. Coke, even weed. Bad shit. It’s not worth it, IMO, i’ve seen guys get huge, but at the same time, I kept up with them, on a simple diet, with NO SUPPLEMENTS. And I had stamina, I could work out for hours and they would be done in 45 minutes. Plus, once you go off - poof. Say goodbye to all that muscle. Not only do you lose physical form, you lost the strength also. Pretty much all of it. Oh, and I wouldn’t like to have ED before I’m 65. ---

all steriods really do is help u retain the water withink ur muscles…to give the effect of bigger toner muscles u do get stronger but good ol fashion Rocky style workouts are the best…ask Krazy Jon one of our football coaches we think was on them…he was always moody and generally messed up…used to throw weights around the weight room ---

Dangers of Steroids Anabolic steroids cause many different types of problems. Less serious side effects include acne, oily hair, purple or red spots on the body, swelling of the legs and feet, and persistent bad breath. Some of the more serious or long-lasting side effects are: ``` * premature balding * dizziness * mood swings, including anger, aggression, and depression * seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations) * extreme feelings of mistrust or fear (paranoia) * problems sleeping * nausea * vomiting * trembling * high blood pressure that can damage the heart or blood vessels over time * aching joints * greater chance of injuring muscles and tendons * jaundice or yellowing of the skin; liver damage * urinary problems * shortening of final adult height * increased risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer ``` Specific risks for guys include: ``` * testicular shrinkage * pain when urinating * breast development * impotence (inability to get an erection) * sterility (inability to have children) ``` Steroids can also have serious psychological side effects. Some users become aggressive or combative, developing “roid rage” - extreme, uncontrolled bouts of anger caused by long-term steroid use. :smash2: ---

i knew a few guys back in high school who took roids, like everyone else said you get big real quick. But you gotta watch the mood swings n shit like that too. imho i wouldnt take them but you can do what you want obv, i would atleast look into creatine and maybe other protein shit before you jump into steroids. ---

trembling from the paranoid hallucinations about testicular shrinkage while feeling your new b-cups is reason enough not to use them, methinks. :uhh: ---

From my experience, you can always tell who uses them at the gym. They flat out are so un-proportionally formed that it doesn’t look right. Best thing to do IMO is get on a solid weight schedule, eat right you’ll be a lot happier. Weigh protein is a good way to add some weight. Work out your upper body as well as your lower body if you plan to get bigger. If you want to get cut, you’re going to have to do cardio…so get those running shoes on. Either way drink lots of water. Yes it’s a boring drink, but it will do you wonders. All this requires more effort then it would with taking steriods, but you will be in better overall shape and a lot healthier. ---

Steroids…hmmm… I was once on them for a medical issue. For 2 weeks, I was depressed, then pissed. I could go either way. My last day of the 2 weeks, a little red CRX with red tinted windows decided to do burnouts at Mighty Taco. Too bad for him, it was a day that I was in a pissed mood. lol That is the day that the “Bitch Slapper” was born. lol I don’t see any reason to take them unless prescribed by a doctor. The long term effects will kill you. Life is too short, do it natural… ---

i had a few friends who played some D1 sports who took them. first of all there are varieties. testosterone is one of the biggest components but there are also some with estrogen, protiens, catalysts blah blah blah. i really dont know that much about them. all of the friends i knew who took them had zero side effects. one person had rage but he was just a dick, it didnt change with his roids. if you wanted to take them you would need a serious goal in mind. taking them to “bulk up” or “get ripped” isnt gonna cut it imo. my friends who took them in college wanted to play pro baseball, hockey and football. thats still not an excuse for me, but for them it was worth it. i am sure there were some side effects they didnt tell me about, and i am sure most of them are dormant until their bodies start slowing down. but in my experience it isnt at all like “The Program” (movie with kristy swanson, i would bone her quite hard) since you made it clear you werent looking to get bashed, i wont touch it, but for me in my life, it just aint worth it. joe [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/question-on-working-out/5900.md?page=2)
