    Admitting AAS to people

    How does everyone handle the question: do you do steroids ? Is it better to play it by ear or just come clean? If it's someone that I don't care about...I tell them nothing because its not for them to worry. However, getting questioned by a gf or friend is a different story. How does everyone handle it?

    Depends on who's asking. And what they mean to you.
    I deny to people i really don't know. But my family has known for years that i use. And i don't even try to lie about it. I would be insulting them if i did.

    It depends whos asking and whats in YOUR best interests. If its someone at work, boss or otherwise I use discretion, otherwise I have no problem telling people. They can then form their own opionions, it dosnt bother me.

    When I get asked that I feel violated , because whoever is asking the q isn't gaining anything except feeling better that they are no where near where Iam or even dream about it. Regardless of what Im on Im at the gym more than home beating the living shit out of my self, spending my day chewing and enduring pain.
    so my answer to the last guy who asked me that was:
    If I say yes would that make you feel better about your shitty physique?

    I tell my close friends. Nobody else. When someone I don't know too well asked me in public I gave him the after school special "roids are bad" speech.

    Put it this way...

    If you tell someone you're on steroids , they will IMMEDIATELY take away ALL the hard work you put in naturally (and on cycle), and ONLY attribute your physique to the use of steroids.

    The idea of bulking naturally, working out hard for a few years consistently, sacrificing so much, etc. will not even occur to them. All that will go through their head is "yeah he's big cause he's on steroids", NOTHING else.

    So I ask you, do you want people to devalue all your hard work?

    If you're answer is no, then it should stay consistent when someone asks you if you take steroids.

    If it isn't, factor that in.

    I tell them "I wish, it would be cheaper" Then I come up with some ridiculously expensive supplement list and a hardcore diet that I know they will never be able to afford or follow. You can actually spend alot more on supplements than on a good cycle of steroids ! Never tell anyone because you never know who is going to be pissed off and hate you the next day especially girlfriends and wifes.

    It defintely depends on who is asking. Some people are OK to be honest with while others are jerkoffs and should get nothing out of you. Who fits into what category is personal preference.

    The one thing to keep in mind is that if you get the question, you're doing it right. Not a vote for using, but if you made that call already you want to know if it is working for you or not.

    Some people will just break your balls no matter what you do or don't do and give you the old "Are you still working out?" question.

    It's probably best to keep it to yourself for the most part. Unless the person asking is also using, they probably don't get it and will tell you that you're out of your mind because they read in the newspaper that juice kills. Just another one fallen to the propoganda parade.

    Exactly my thought.

    We have seen here on our forum more than one guy being blackmailed by the ex wife/gf. I say keep it ti yourself if its illegal in your country.

    Here in Portugal, only my gym buddies and my gf know I use and they all know and see the dedication I put into having a physique that I like and feel good about.

    Most of the other guys that ask me I just give them the creatine/protein bs because like some bros said they just want an excuse to feel better about their shitty physiques and disregard all your hard work and dedication.

    but when those people start rationalizing why it is you are better than they are, they are unconsciously acknowledging you are superior to them. The rationalizations that go on inside their head is proof they are making up for their own inadequacies. SO what appears on the outside, is a cover up for inferiority. you know it, and they know it...they know that you know....so you win in the end.

    carl knows.... he does my injections :P

    my co workers know. one went thru my duffel bag to find my USB stick, and instead came across some pins.

    he was like "i figured anyway".

    but it is true, my boss said "i could look like you if i did roids too"... so, it does ruin all the hard work put into it....

    my reply to him was "if you think roids fix your lack of commitment, diet, training, then go nuts".... no reply to that

    If you say yes people just think you took some injections and got instantly huge.
    It's like it totally discredits all the work you've done.
    People don't understand how steroids work.

    I usually say "yes of course I use steroids , how else do you think I got like this, it has nothing to do with all the food I eat and the time I spend in the gym" and they don't believe me

    That is why you don't tell/let anyone you're on gear in the first place.
    All it does is devalue ALL your hard work. No-one will look at you and go "wow, look how much hard work and discipline you put into your physique", they will simply say the same thing your boss did.

    Moral of the story, DON'T LET ANYONE KNOW YOU CYCLE! You don't know when/where/how, but it CAN come back to bite you in the ass!

    My mom thinks im natural and says wow if you were on steroids you would be a freak. (already 240 13% bf) I just agree but my wife knows it all depends who it is, not something you want everyone to know about especiall with work etc. However anyone knowledgable in the subject can look at a steroid user and make an educated guess.
