Steroids slowly killing the gym-obsessed youth

One of my mates thought there was no problems in having a big weekend in the clubs (back in his 20's) and smashing over 30 beers, smoking a packet, finishing the night off with a greasy pizza and maybe popping an E too. He chastised another mate of mine who lived a clean lifestyle and did a little AAS, lifted weights, clean diet and cardio. Funny how smokes, other drugs, food, sedentary lifestyle and alcohol are in the "it's OK" basket.
 

Drugs are drugs. They all can be dangerous. Don't think I have ever heard anyone say smokes are ok these days.

The biggest problem with roids is the self medicating by unqualified people of steroids likely make in some dodgy lab.

Yeah sure everyone on the gear thinks they know what they are doing. I'm sure the blokes that died said the same thing. Running a few google searches doesn't make you an expert.

Running gear at high enough doses to get side effects such as muscle growth and strength increases. You would have to be a moron to think that there aren't some unwanted side effects happening as well.
 

Great reply country boy
 
Gotta admit, if I was some young punk in my early 20s it'd be very hard not to try a cycle. It seems to be the norm now for even non competitive Bodybuilders. Have to get my tribal tattoos as well I guess.

My view has always been unless your work requires it (Security work, modelling etc) or you're competing theres no justification for it. But using does seem the norm now.

I like my Prostate just the way nature intended it thanks, but whatever, or whoever tickles yours.

Speaking of prostate tickling, hows your good friend [MENTION=17005]supporter[/MENTION]; going?

and so it begins. TBH I'm surprised the whole Zyzz thing didn't kick this BS off. Enjoy your newfound social stigma resident juicers! Wonder what this means for all the IFBB types lol.

Yes this has all be fueled by the whole zyzz "thing" - and even more-so from when he passed away.

I believe if you abuse steroids they can cause damage - but when you compare it to other things such as alcohol, smoking, reg drugs - it is a very very very small % - you also have to take into account that alot of these sort of "zyzz" guys are going out every weekend drinking, smoking, and doing reg drugs - so whats to say they are simply not the cause? As they are more likely to kill.
 
I think its pretty safe to say using test to bring test levels back to normal in a deficient person is probably fairly safe. Using test in a heathy person to boost above normal levels likely carries risk.

Stop comparing test to other drugs. Compare the risk on its own merits.

not sure about that Baz. Once you bring in "external" Test at any level your natural production shuts down, with the associated consequences. TRT isn't really bringing Test back to normal levels considering its sustained release whereas natural Test levels ebb and flow. Secondly, TRT levels are way higher than natural levels.
