STEROID QUESTIONS

SDEWITT · 05-30-2005, 04:42 PM

I have a few basic questions about Steroids.

1. What are the main negative side effects?
2. Penis shrinkage, severe acne? (do they happen)
3. Are they worth taking if you do the proper research and know what
your doing?
4. How intensly do the top body builders use roids? (use them religiously?)

Just curious about Steroids, any other basic info would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

First of all you should post this in the Steroid section

1. the side effects varies from steroid to steroid. You can read about them in the steroid profils section

2. Penis shrinkage is a myth.
Acne however is common.

3. are they worth taking? well.. let me ask you, are you willing to take the consequences there are with AAS?
I believe if you ask anyone who has suffered from one or more serious side effects, they will say no. (Can't ask the ones who have died.)
There are no final answer to that question.

4. It depends on which pro you ask. Read a few interviews with Lee Priest and he says he rarely uses it. On the other hand I'll bet my left nut, that there are pro's out there who has a big (ab)use of gear.

1. As JB says, it depends on the specific compound
2. If you already are predisposed to acne it would propably get worse. If not, u will propably get a minor acne attack as well. Depends on your genetics.
3. I only know guys who say yes to that question. The key is doing research!!!
4. It varies...

I would recommend that you do a lot more research and read a lot on your own. Don't jusk ask people, READ!

I am doing an insane amount of reading on it,
and am still extremely unsure.
I'm mainly just getting info on out of curiousity, not serioulsy considering
going on roids any time soon.
But i assume some people in this forum probly use them, so i wanted to get some
info off of people with personal experience.
Thanks for the replies.

No harm in asking.. that's what the forum is for.
Read as much as you can about it, but you allready know that :)

If you're unsure, don't do it!

Buy a book about the subject... If I could turn back time I would have studied more and waited a few month.

me2.. think I would have waited a few years.

JB, have you experienced any long term side effects?

Nope. so far so good.. only a little puffy nipples but nothing that Nolva can't fix.
I think the "trick" is to stay with low dosages.. I've never experienced so good strenght and muscle gains as I am right now. And I only do 250mg sust every 7-10 days.
In theory it's a crappy cycle, but it really works. Of course i don't get the quick gains if I did a cycle like yours :)

pumpingiron · 05-30-2005, 06:32 PM

Yeah, I don't like that theory about using more and more everytime. If the gains are slower, so be it, but at least the side effects are lower too.

exactly.. It's quite common to see people in their 4th or 5th cycle going for over 1000mg a week. At those dosages the side-effects far outnumber the benefits I believe.

Penis shrinkage and nut shrinkage are not a myth. Your dumb to say that. Be prepared to lose 1/4 of your length. Not to mention you might not be able to get it up in the first place after roids.

testicular atrophy can happen, but it is reversibel after the cycle is over.
PENIS shrinkage can NOT happen.
About not getting it up... thank God for PCT.

If you don't know anything about it, then don't say anything at all.
