Hi all,

I just wanted to say that I have been slowly noticing an increase in the amount of people using steroids to bulk up.

I dont want this to turn in to an argument about steroids, or if they work or dont work, Now I have no problem with people who want to use steroids using them. As long as they know the side effects and possible risks asociated with them.

But there are an awful lot of people who are 16, 17, 18 all using them and bouncing around the changing rooms looking hard. I cant help but think that these people dont know what they are getting in to and are just doing it for a quick bulking solution and are taking steroids for all the wrong reasons.

Its just a rant I wanted to have really.

Cheers
 
Stupid fools, they should look into it more.
They are going to end up with small man bits amoung numerous other complications.
 
General rule is you shouldn't take steroids under the age of 21 as your skeletal frame has finnished developing and damages your still developing endocrine system more so under this age than over it.

Just wondering how you know these guys are on gear?
I mean you sure they arn't just pumped from a workout. You would be surprised as to what people can achieve if they stick to training consistently for a year with a good diet.
 
lol there are two brothers at my gym who are using. how do i know this? its a known fact lol. but neither of them look like the use. a lot of guys forget nutrition is really the main deal behind it all. drugs aint gonna take you anywhere. They are suppose to enhance existing functions of the body. I mean how are you gonna convert protein into muscle if you dont even eat any protien.
 
Steroid use has been rife at most of the gyms I've trained at, apart from a few genuinly huge blokes most of the people are wasting their money because they could easily look like that without them.

Overheard a couple of people discussing how what they injected hadn't done anything yet - clearly no research done at all, just something from a gym mate, all discussed between sets of cable crossovers of course.

At the end of the day nothing you can do about it, so why give it a second thought? unless you're jealous of being overtaken maybe?
 
Let them carry on, if they dont know what their doing well that's their problem and will soon find out why you have to do steroids properly. If they know what they are doing all the best to them.
And your balls go smaller not your actual willy :p because your body doesnt need to produce the testosterone naturally when your own a side effect of this is shirinking of the balls, but this can be combated with the proper ancillaries.
 
Im not saying everyones on them, ofcourse not, but quite a few people you can spot from a mile off, walk slowly past or listen to them in the sauna, what are they talking about.....yup.


Its the sheer lack of research that annoys me.

When I was there yesterday, someone I know is definatley on them jumped in a few machines with me, hes about my build and has been using them for about 3 months now, and I out lifted him on all but one machine. And on one hand it felt good to outlift someone who was using them as I have never gone near the stuff and never will, yet on the other hand I almost feel sorry for the guy that its not doing what he thinks it will and 10 years down the line hes going to be screwed. But he wont listen to reason. Some people are just so naive.

But I suppose your right, some people just need to be left to it, I dont know why I should care, I just found myself thinking about it yesterday.
 
If someone thats utterly stupid starts to ask or talk about steroids tell them to inject into the calves. Omg they will be in soo much pain but ah it will be a good laugh :p
 
I presume the OP, maybe others were watching the news tonight? I've noticed the odd person who I'd suspect used gear over the years, i.e. facial hair in year 8, as well as high ubw. I've considered anabolics once or twice, but always ruled them out, Id stick with things like fibre supplements, and maybe creatine if nessecary.

Hehe, you hang around bodybuilding long enough you hear the good, the bad and the ugly :p

Things like, "Hi, I'm trying to inject myself in the ass but I keep messing up, can someone help me" :p
 
Two of my friends have gone from tablets to injectining in the arse, which although i find it highly amusing that there taking it in the backside, i'm worried about what its doing to them.

They won't listen, and reckon there do everything correctly, and its safer on their liver than the tablets.

Another problem is that they both look huge since taking them.

They'd been goign to the gym for about a year, with 5 months on the tablets, a steady noticable increase, but nowt much.

2-3 months injecting and they are both huge, neck musles look like there going to pop.

Also there temperement is much better on these than the tablets, so all in all, it really is a better option.

They reckon there doing it the best way, and i must agree with them, but i dont, as i still think its wrong, but to be honest, am running out of points to argue with them.
 
Its stupid, but far safer if you know what your doing. Problem is if you dont know what your doing you end up like some of the guys in my gym, Massive and not particularly strong. I can match some guys in my gym when I have worked out with them and they are a lot bigger, asked me what I was using and where I was getting it from. I laughed and said "I wont go near the stuff, dont you know what it does to you" To that they just laugh and assume the are invincible with their little wee wee's :D They wont be told and its well documented how bad they are so leave them to it I say. I personnaly prefer knowing how hard I have worked to get where I am, and donet want to be really massive anyway.

Can that much muscle even do any work? Surely it gets to a point where its not effective at moving the skeleton?

That's the joke known as Greg Valentino. And that's not just steriod he's injecting, it's Synthol.

Synthol is an intermuscular fatty acid that bodybuilders are now using to give increased size in small muscle groups. It is actually a synthetic oil that is injected right in to the muscles. The way that this product works is that it becomes encapsulated between the fasicles (bundles of muscle fibers). Upon repeated injections, a huge bolus of the oil accumulates, adding volume to the injected muscle.
