How expensive is it to be on roids for 30-40 years? Is it really worth it?

A quick pubmed search leads me to believe that long-term effects are likely real, including liver and cardiac problems, diabetes like symptoms and the aforementioned infertility. Any more problematic than chronic abuse of other drugs, or even required medicines?? Possibly not. Worth the risk? Obviously a personal question, but I doubt every user of AAS is completely aware of the risks when starting (obviously also true of many recreational drugs). Self education is the key to safety.

That's my biggest problem with them. I'd probably use steroids if I thought it was worth it.

However when you google "are steroids safe" the first fifty billion results are citing dangers like "you can hit your gf from steroid-induced rage."

Way to keep the masses ignorant.

not much worse than pot.

I know I make all my decisions about what drugs to take based on coloured circles

LOL, its from wikipedia tho, if you can't trust wikipedia who can you trust?

I'm surprised Ecstasy is so low on that. All I know about it is from Dr. Drew and he seemed to think that it would cause you to never again feel joy after prolonged exposure.

Seems to be a push with alcohol. Let's do this! Gear sticky!

Why you mad tho?

I'm jelly. Well, I was. Then I realized it was stupid (sour grapes).

I've never felt jelly in my life. It must be hella negative. I just don't understand why anyone would feel it. Emotional and relationship jelly, I understand.

U DON'T UNDERSTAND MAN, YOU NEED 20 INCH ARMS!

You almost got me there.

Feh. My arms are WAY longer than 20 inches. I must be a god.

Depends, obv people who go TRT/HRT stay on for life, no?

Most of the guys I know that have made the decision to just stay on, for either quality of life (majority are because of this), lifting, whatever, have checkups and bloodwork done.

I know a lot of people that spend more on whey protein than they do on testosterone. I guarantee some in the forum spend more per month on supps than a bottle of testosterone would cost.

^^. There's a lot of research out there.

What's the best place to start? I've glanced at steroid forums, and I know this is me being judgemental, but it's hard to trust sources that refer to anyone and everything as bro, brah, broseph, broseph of aramathea, broseidon, lord of the brocean, Broseph Stalin, brobama, or brosauras.

I also get confused when people start talking about cycling and stacking. I couldn't even figure that **** out with creatine. One scoop a day every day. **** it

Jesus, Mary, and Broseph, that's a lot of bro nicknames.

Hmmm...i dunno, i would bet one of the millions of forums has some n00b type thread, I'll google and see what comes up.

I did not read this and it's from a few years ago, but it's probably informative.

JP over at strengthvillain is pumping someone named Brent Larson's book, but it hasn't came out yet.

I've done 3x5x110s before(might not have gotten all 15 reps IIRC), and at the end of my sets I had very little energy left to do anything except drop them.


1. Seems to me like alcohol's dependence should be less. I'm aware that there are alcoholics, but considering how many people drink(heavily) and have no issues with it that seems too high to me.

2. Htf is cannabis' physical harm that high? Whats bad about it? Are we assuming that you are 100% guaranteed to get a pure form of the drug(i.e. its significantly more likely that your ecstasy is laced with something dangerous than your cannabis)?

3. I wish caffeine was listed



Dr Drew also thinks pot is very dangerous

lol thanks

spelling errors aside I read it.

I was reading all the health-related side effects
cancer, atrophied testicles, breasts, acne, aggression, birth defects, enlarged prostate, and im like alright sounds fine to me

then

hair loss

gg

hasn't hair loss already been cured? or at least it will be in the next 5 years...

Hair loss has been cured, huh? Is that preventative medicine or is there a cure for already progressed hair loss?

Do employers do pre-employment screening for roids?

What? It's like the 3rd lowest harmful substance on there. I don't even know what GHB and Khat are.
