Why do you all take steroids?

[mcd045]

I, for the record am not against steroid use amonst athletes and bodybuilders and what not. But the thing that is killing me is this,

If you are just an average gym rat who isnt making money on how they look in anyway, why would you juice? Ive seen bigger, Stronger, Faster. I have friends who take them for college football (division III) so I have good first hand perspective. I know there are people out there who are curious, and even a cycle of roids or two as long as they're taken appropriately can allow you to live your life with very few problems. But again, but to my question. What is it that you feel is alright with taking steroids , putting yourself at risk not only physically, but legally too, as being caught can more than likely land you with serious legal trouble?

Also on another question, why do TEENS take roids? If you arent an athlete who wants to get that D1 scholarship and potentially get your entire college paid for, why would you take them? when the side effects can be even more damaging down the road?

It would be nice if someone could explain this to me and no just rant on about how I know nothing about what they do. I am by no means your average american idiot, I know what these things do and know that they do have an unreasonably bad rap.

Taking my physique to the next level. I take great pride in the way I look and using anabolic steroid basically just helps maximize your results. They are far from any miracle drug or anything like that, they simply just put icing on the cake.

Teens take steroids because they THINK it's a miracle substance and because they are ignorant.

What kind of risks are you talking about? Say running Test at 300-500mg/week for 10 weeks with proper ancillaries and PCT? I can tell you right now that MILLIONS of Americans choose to smoke cigarettes and abuse drugs/alcohol DAILY with no self regard, and there IS scientific proof showing causes of death related to these things; yet Steroids get looked at like they are the devil.

I can honestly say if you swapped out all the smokers and alkies with Bodybuilders/Athletes/Gym rats that ran responsible cycle's there would be A LOT less action in the hospitals/morgues (and the world would be a better looking place ).

Could not have said it better. I think with a little common sense, and a little thought on your part you could have answered this question on your own.

Why do people diet/exercise? Or better yet, why do people gain weight and are morbidly obese and choose a sedentary lifestyle?

[wilsonw25]

maximizes results. Also when you get to a certain age.. especially 40+.. if you have any intentions of building muscle it becomes very difficult without steroids due to the almost nonexistant TEST levels. Teens take them bc they are ignorant. WE take them to maximize our gains. you can only get so big, strong, hard on your own. Its sucks but just the way it is... if people could get the results that we get on aas then nobody would take aas.

I take them because my body doesn't feel like producing its own supply of Test any more. Sad but true.

[yungone501]

Steroids make my penis grow because it is a muscle...simply put.

[Far from massive]

There are sooo many answers, lots of people who use steroids have no idea of the effects or consequences. All they "know" is that taking them will make you look like Arnold...JOKE, so then they take them and realize that although they do not look like Arnold they do make you feel great while on and often they continue to take them for this reason alone.

[Chris J]

Why would you take the time to search out and find a site to question people about their lives and their business? I mean you just dont stumble upon a site like this. You basically have to wake up one day and decide you are going to go mind other peoples business. We dont have to defend ourselves or even answer a question like this. Something is eating this guy up and maybe he needs some mental health evaluation. Go ask someone why they keep making bombs when we already have enough to destroy several planets. If you dont like the show....change the channel.

[mcd045]

I am not trolling on people, I never said I don't like them, they interest me, I wanted an answer that I sure hope all of you guys thought long and hard about before taking them

[Vullfromsc]

technology has allowed us to surpass our natural limitations.. whether it is through synthetic proteins, amounts of creatine that it would be impossible to consume from meat, steroids , or growth hormone .. it's all the same. people will find a way to look better than their peers.

no one is "natural" anymore. period. i hate it when people say that while they are sipping on a pre-workout or a protein shake

As you get older your nutz hang low . . . Too low. T takes care of that.

There are many reasons, to look good, feel good, better performance in sports. I feel mentally strong too while on.

[gymfu]

I trained hard naturaly for 10 years, and got to a point where I wasn't getting any bigger. I started out weighing only 140lbs, I hated the way I looked, I was a tooth pick. I got to about 190-200 and just could not get any bigger for several years I stayed there. For me I didn't look good enough, I still think I'm too small, I guess I always will.

Anyway there was no getting any bigger without AAS.

Cigarettes and alcohol, although are more dangerous in my mind, and I see what you guys are saying and all, but there is a train of thought saying this... smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol do damage your body overall wayy more than steroids do, agreed. But the problem is is this

With cigarettes and alcohol, the effects, unless done heavily for years on end, can be reversible. Although alot of people will say steroids do not have irreversible damage, you are still manipulating the sensitve endocrine system, which sometimes may not always be cured. Why would you guys take the risk with a drug that you do not for any monetary gain? I know they can be taken safely, as I have stated before, every drug has a side effect, plain and simple. When your dealing with powerful hormones that in all intensive purpose you do not need, it just seems like something that can end poorly.

And for the record I am not looking down on anyone whose taking these, on top of a Exercise Science major I am a minor in physcology, so this all helps

Wait.. You're a Science major and you think that Cancer and Liver Disease is reversible?? Really?? Come on dude, WTF is wrong with you? did you miss those days in school?

Its a hobby, just like sky diving and many other MORE dangerous hobbies out there.. Its something people get "enjoyment" from... Only the side effects to our hobby is WE LOOK GREAT!

Did you say you saw that movie.. Did you understand how most Dr's cannot agree that Steroids when done properly is not dangerous.. At least not in the respect that the media makes it out to be..

Asprin can be dangerous as well, if abused.. and like anything, anything abused will get attention.. But the fact is, the unknown is always the bad for you more than the known...

[mcd045]

hence how i said heavy use over years... getting at cancer. Years of cigarette and alcohol abuse will give irreversible damage to your body, that is common sense these days, you just read what you wanted to read. i think your trying to put words in my mouth, and I think I hit a soft spot with some of you guys here with the low self esteem who took them to help fuel their poor self confidence. Read what I wrote, I know what they do, I know they can be done safely, thank you Mustang for putting words in my mouth.

In my opinon most of the dietary supplements that are on the market are FAR more dangerous than anabolic steroids . Mustang, some people came on here and gave great responses to this (in my mind) million dollar question. YOU though, you just came in here and gave a little insecure little justification as to why you take steroids saying the cliche "their safe if done correctly" or "anything can be dangerous if abused" WE'VE ALL HEARD THOSE THINGS! Insecurity drags our society down.

[PitMaster]

I actually have an injury as do many others, some forms of steroids help in the healing process of an injury. Just gotta research which ones are the best to help a person recover from sometimes a life altering injury.

I like roids because i like hitting people one time and the fight be over if they start running their mouths. I dont just go around hittin people by the way. also feeling yoked when you walk around is much better than being embarrassed because you look like a puss!
