Pre steroid use body\health question

**Josh_g** · 02-13-2010, 06:17 PM

After you did your first cycle, was your body ever the same? Was it a negative change in any way? Did you notice anything "missing" so to speak? What are the permanent sacrifices associated with steroid use (if any)?

Is this some sore of research thing your doing? LOL....

yes my body was the same. Except I felt better about myself... I felt stronger. I felt.. INVINCIBLE! Like i can jump in front of cars and survive..... Ill let ya know how it goes when i try it though.

It's just personal reasearch. Not for a report or anything. I just want to know what I'm getting into if I ever take the plunge.

i've asked the same questions over and over Josh and other than the obvious side effects as long as you are cautious and do the proper PCT you should be fine. ive been working out my entire adult life and have done it hardcore for years. im 42 and never tried a cycle but I have recently decided to give it a try. gear is on its way (keeping fingers crossed) so hopefully in the next few weeks ill see what all the talk is about.

also, how old are you?

25. My lifting history isn't strong enough to do a cycle yet but I'd still like to learn. I figure I'm at least a year out from serious consideration. By then, with enough work and study, I might be ready.

I have not had any negative effects, the down side to coming off my cycle is the lack of sex drive that does pick up after my PCT. I know my wife loves it when Im on my cycle because the sex is nonstop!!!

**Josh_g** · 02-14-2010, 01:12 AM

So basically there are NO negatives at all? It just seems to good to be true you know?

**Kibble** · 02-14-2010, 01:42 AM

Well, you are always running the risk of shutting down your own test production... which could lead to depression and a low sex drive. Also, a harder time gaining muscle

**Josh_g** · 02-14-2010, 01:45 AM

^ Even with a proper PCT?

**Kibble** · 02-14-2010, 01:50 AM

Proper PCT greatly lessens the risk, but it is not always guaranteed. Nothing is 100% when regarding AAS imo

**Josh_g** · 02-14-2010, 01:58 AM

Well that is definetly something to seriously consider then! Thanks for the input so far guys.

for my 2 cents your going about it the best way you can thats for sure
one good quote if heard here is educate before you medicate then you have to make your own choice.

**c-Z** · 02-14-2010, 08:06 AM

OFC you run risks when sticking foreign substances in your body. The more you shut your natural test down the harder it will be to recover... Now low test is no fun i am sure. I think we all would like to get an erection on our own. As well as leading to depression as stated. It depends what exactly your trying to talk about. If you want to discuss abuse of aas. The damage can be intense. Or if your cycling over that magic number 15%bf everyone uses. Increases side affects. You have to be more specific.

**Josh_g** · 02-14-2010, 09:18 PM

I guess I'm trying to find out the permanent risks involved. If you have your diet flawless, a perfect bf%, a perfect Pct, a perfect age (it varies I know), lets just say you are as ready as is possible to be. The risks involved are... That's what I'd like to find out.

**c-Z** · 02-14-2010, 09:35 PM

Well permanent is hard to say... Obviously when cycling you are shutting natty test down. Therefore you can permanently harm it. its such a broad question its really actually hard to answer....

I could say your permanently damaging your liver.. If your liver already has problems...
