question to prove someone wrong.

[arenawarrior]

Background story: My mother learned that I was doing injections and was kinda pissed but i was like its a cheap drug, would you rather be going out drinking with some buddies or something and i am living a healthy life style, great diet and bluh.
She asked her friend about it that she is dating and they both came over one day for dinner, first time i met him, and he was like oh i hear your lifting alot. Anyways he tried to tell me the following things about why i shouldnt use steroids but i should use supplements.

1. Injecting steroids will make you less horny down the road, only the first 3 or so you will be horny but after that your sex drive will go down to nothing.
Increasing levels of test will make you libido higher thats why doctors proscribe test because they might be lower then normal. (of course this is after bloodwork is done and all that)

2. If I want to gain weight just increase my protein in take, 1g per the weight i want to be. Ie: if i want to be 200 I should have 200grams of protein in my body per day.
I am pretty sure this is false, because i believe its just a standard increase, ie: 1.5/2g of protein increase to your own body weight currently to gain weight. Not what you want to get to.
3. ( and the biggest load of bullshit i heard him say) Steroids make your dick small, why do you think you see all those guys in weight compeitions with small penises.


It doesnt make your shaft smaller but you get testicular atrophy because your shutting down your natural test levels so your body thinks its getting it from an outside source so it doesnt need to produce it.


Any insight would be great, or sources i can just send my mom to show that her new boyfriend is load of shit.

print stuff off of the computer showing them the facts proving them wrong...

oh another one he said was.

That doing a 10-12 week cycle is a horrible idea. He was trying to compare it to supplements that it should be 1 month on 1 month off.

Any info from the pros would be great. To add or sources. But i gotta head to class so I look forward toward your guys answers and debates

Sort of answer you're own thread there mate.
Sounds about right to me, the guy sounds like a douchebag btw.

Anyways more often then not people have no idea about steroids .
We had an seminar at our school (a sports school), and the teacher told us that steroids make your voice like a woman, and a woman gets a voice like a man (the latter can be right though), and that you get a neck like an okse and all kinds of shit....

Don't listen to people, educate yourself.
I have two people in the world that know I have done a cycle, yeah thats it.

My long time girlfriend, and my long time bestfriend.. Don't be tellin that shit to everybody, nobody is gonna think you deserve your body because of it "I can also be like him if I pin my arse"...

Cheers

Tell him if he knows about esters and half-life of different kinds of steroids ?
95% sure he doesn't, check and mate.

Best idea is to tell you mom the her douche bag boyfriend really got through to you and you're changing your ways.

A couple of weeks latter tell her the new suppliment program that her bf got you on is working wonders.

You're not going to convince her that what you are doing is healthy, so a few white lies will make her feel much better.

wtf is this guy your dad? Tell him shut his mouth and go do some research. What a tool.

[premedreject]

haha you called his dad a tool. LOL

[MMArmour]

its not his dad. thats the point im making.

[arenawarrior]

its not my dad, lol. But im not to sure about the 2nd question i had.. About weight gaining.. im pretty sure to gain 1 lb you need 3200 cals. so im guessing that say im 185 and i want to get to 200. increasing my protein by 15 grams of protein. Which is only an increase in what? 15*4= 60 calories?

being on testerome will make u hornier, almost all other steroids will decrease ur sex drive

as for down the road, the issue with steroids is that some people dont recover their HPTA function and regular hormone balance after cycles, this the reason why alot of heavy steroid users go on TRT or HRT later in their lives, even moderate users can face this issue, alot of people never fully recover their natural sex drive after using anabolic steroids, while others can go through 5-6 cycles and still recover great

it is also the reason why many people emphasize GOOD PCT protocol to help avoid these issues,

BUT yea the rest he told u is full of SHIT, but the first point has some trueth behind it

Not to be a wet blanket bud, but I am curious about your age. How old are you? I am thinking very young since your living at home?
