so i am watching tv w/ my sister and her husband (chelsy handler show) and carrot top comes on there...automatically they say "oh hes on steroids ." i said he could have gotten his build through diet and a good training routine, but i said he is obviously on synthrol.they asked what was sythrol and asked them if they seen the man whos arm exploded with greg valentino and they both said they have. so i play dumb with them and they say "see what steroids do they make your arms explode and your face look like carrot top." i didnt know whether to laugh at them or let them keep going...so i let them keep going and learned that steroids are bad and mess you up and are addicting and once you get off you lose everything you gained. My question to you guys is...does crap like this happen to you? and what do you do when it does?

i just say **** em, if they are going to let ignorance and biase cloud there vision then the media will forever influence them and they are destined to a life of servitude, nothing you can do about that except be happy that you know what you are talking about and move on

agreed, i love rational debates because everyone wins and knowledge is advanced for all parties present, but ignorance is never rational nor knowledgable so i don't even deal with it

Someone in my gym was telling someone else that steroids are rubbish because all they do is fill you up with water and when you come off you lose the water and return back to normal i cant believe that someone who knows nothing about aas was spreading his lack of knowledge onto someone else. Dumb muther****a but true story.

**beatango2008** · 10-12-2008, 05:02 PM

You might as well give up man on trying to convince people about steroids ,
The media has twisted everything to make it look like the worst drug possible,
and with some people it could be, because they simply don't know what the hell they are doing. I just keep my mouth shut whenever I hear anything about that now because I know its a losing battle. Oh and BTW carrot top has to be on something he looks gross lol

This is because some retard probably ran a DBOL only cycle and gained alot of water weight and when he quit, it all went away.
So now he spreads the rumor that its all water and you lose all your gains once you quit. It's very simple how this happens.

There you go. This is my moto when it comes to steroid discussion.

**INM** · 10-12-2008, 06:08 PM

all the time, my best friend that goes to the gym with me beliefs if you take steroids , you'll either be dead by 40 or 50 or your body will be a mess and wont function properly. The odd thing is, I've tried to talk some sense into him and he even watched Bigger, Stronger, Faster.. what he took from that movie was "yeah, and they also make you kill yourself"..

... I guess you see what you wanna see, it's ridiculous.

When i started my usage, my family really didn't say anything. My friends at the gym was the ones that told me to calm down. As time went on my family did ask and i told them yes. No reason to lie.
They now know but they're cool with it. I think it's a reflection of yourself. You're either responsible or you're not. Just like everything else.

There's no point in trying to enlighten someone who doesn't want to be enlightened or have the intelligence to see past the shit and make their own informed decision about things not just steroids but in so many other areas.

**novastepp** · 10-12-2008, 09:30 PM

if they think you lose all the gains when you're off and it is so negative... when they ask if youre on them argue that "i keep my gains all year, and i'm not all puffy and i look good, so clearly i'm not, right?"

Absolutely agree here. I hear people all the time blurting out crazy myths about steroid usage and I have to bite my tongue every time. The one that pisses me off the most is "Steroids will shrink your d*ck".

**fattymcbutterpants** · 10-12-2008, 09:41 PM

once i tried talking to my dad about steroids and about how if you use them right and wait till your old enough and truly know what you are doing that it isnt really a big deal and he flipped out and basically told me everything you hear about them on the news about how so many people are killed by them and i said something along the lines of the steroids didnt kill them it was the idiots that shouldnt of been using them that killed themselves and he just got mad and basically in Waterboy terms said steroids is the DEVIL

Basically In this time and place you cant win an argument with someone who doesnt care about facts, and the fact is Drugs are dangerous period no matter if its Asprin or Testosterone either one Abused or used incorrectly will mess you up. Now as far as im concerned if you make smart decisions you will be ok. I have a headache 2 asprin will do, I am peeked out Physically at the age of 25, A Test Cycle will do. Now as far as people who are ignorant. My Mental Mute Button Will Do

Lol, of course they make your cock shrink, has nothing to do with your legs being sick big

People are like that when it comes to cars, clothes music food everything. I try not to be prejudgice against really but some people spend their lives watching tv and basing all their facts on shock horror tv.
