After having juiced myself for over 10 years i really don't need to be schooled i was asking people on here if they knew the risks they were taking.
Yeah after doing what i have done for the past 10 years i have changed my mind about steroids.
Here is a simple thing in which even the closed minded will understand.
When you get on cycle, your LH shuts down....no big deal right? get on HCG keep the leydig cells doing something and bingo your nuts will still function when you get off cycle.....but what else?
Well the body see's things differently you have an excess of testosterone in your system, this is the reason why it shuts down LH production to try to rebalance the body in to the normal homeostasis state. So the next thing the body does is it clears out your good cholesterol.....no big deal some people might say......it clears it out because good cholesterol is the hormone that testosterone is converted into from. And when you have low levels of good cholesterol or in most steroid users case fuck all to none you have high levels of bad cholesterol.
Good cholesterol in the simplest explanation clears out bad cholesterol and bad cholesterol is responsible for clogging arteries, hardening the heart and arteries. So next time you jab your ass with that needle have a think about your health and how steroids are killing your good cholesterol and ultimately leading to some form of heart disease. The body clears out this good cholesterol when on cycle on a daily basis as it is always trying to return your body to normal.
Here is a list of a few pro's......remember these are the ones that made the news.....think about how many didn't make the news.

Also when you are getting blood tests done be sure to test for both LDL and HDL testing your total cholesterol level is not enough and this is usually what most doctors will test for......this result is always going to be false ie you have fuck all good cholesterol and high bad cholesterol the total count is going to look normal but when testing the individual LDL and HDL it tells the real story.
