How do you guys explain your gains to people?

[swm1972]

Your parents seeing you often actually plays to your benefit. The changes will be a lot less noticeable if you see them often. Try seeing your parents a few times a year and having them question where the extra 10-15lbs of muscle came from that wasn't there last time you saw them 2-3 months ago, especially if its right at the end of your cycle when you're fully pumped n veins bulgin.. if you see them often the change seems much more gradual

This is completely accurate. Those closest to you that you see day to say will barely notice. But someone you rarely see will look at you not certain you are the same person.

Ok so you have sown that seed of thought, now ramp up it up a notch, I think she will come round, if she really doesnt like it then she aint the girl for you my friend, dont go through life hiding AAS use from a girl, its double trouble when she finds out, I read about it all the time on here.

It's a double edge sword. Either way it can screw you. Don't tell her and she freaks 4 years into a relationship because you weren't honest. Tell her and she
a) tells all her friends,
b) leaves and tells everyone why
c) stays and when you break up later (or worse get divorced) it gets thrown around to everyone anyway (maybe during a divorce proceeding to a judge).

Personally, I hid it and she found out on her own. She decided to stay because I am more then an anabolic steroid user. Its a small aspect of my life. This could still end up with a,b, or c coming into play somewhere down the road. I dont see how you are more damned either way. I certainly wouldn't tell just anyone. Unless you are going to spend the rest of your life with this person self preservation dictates you keep your mouth shut.

I hid it from my girl till I tried to pin myself for the first time. Once i let her do it, she was all for it. She actually got mad that i let my train partner do it once. As far as your family goes, unless they have somewhat of an understanding about AS, its none of their business.

[dooie]

The girl I have ATM pins me, she loves it, we don't live together, but she called me (lives about half an hour away) and said you are due for ur next needle, I'll be there in 1hr! I didn't even have a choice haha!

As for explaining it too the boys, they know I respond very well to correct dieting, so I just say I've been eating like shit for weeks and finally got back on track, and taking a shitload of supps for the first time

Just buy this shirt and wear it around town. It'll clear up any confusion:

Lol.

if people cant tell that your on steroids , then your not doing them right. or their retarded.

That depends. I was a big guy naturally when I started my first cycle at 5'10" and 215lbs. First cycle of 500mgs cidotestin per week for 12 weeks left me at 225lbs. Sure that is a lot of lean mass. But if they see you everyday those changes are so gradual that they don't notice. Now if they haven't seen you and all of a sudden you are 10lbs heavier? Yeah. They are going to notice that. The people that gain 30 lbs do so because they started so far from their natural level of development. So they pack on size like nobodies business when you introduce gear. A 175lb man ending at 205 is going to raise a few eyebrows from those around him.

[BlueWaffle21]

Throughout the years I have gained and lost depending on how hard I'm training. Most people know when I get dedicated I can put on weight no problem. I personally don't see any size gain but it's probably because I see myself everyday. I've had many compliments about the size I've gained and I just say I got my diet it back on point and I am ready to look like i used to again.

[Misery13]

Always be seen with food. Explain to them in as much detail as I can my diet, training, and cardio.

[kronik420]

someone asked me today what i was on... probably because ive gained about 6kgs over the last 6 days lol.
btw im not on cycle....yet.. this was accomplished naturally, i think its because i just finished cutting and so have been bulking the last 6 days (1st time ive tried bulking with proper diet lol) and id say at least 90% of that was in muscle, because of when i look in the mirror, i dont think ive gained any more fat, plus my strength has increased to.
anyways i just told him that i started my bulking diet, and listed the foods i eat and yea...
but 6 kgs in 6 days has surprised me , im still like wtf. anyways gotta go its lunch time

It's not muscle bro haha, it's water retention,

[kronik420]

It's not muscle bro haha, it's water retention,

why?

[dooie]

why?

It's impossible to grow that fast even on steroids !

[warmouth]

Pretty sure most of the guys have wives/girlfriends here who are cool with them using gear. They probably even pin for you lucky bastards, but to the dudes that dont got it like that. How do you keep your use to yourself?

So I'm planning my first cycle and curious as to how you guys hide your usage to people who you dont want to tell about what you're on. I'm really close to my parents and live 2 blocks away from them. They see me pretty much every day and they're gonna know somethings up. Even though im 32, I still dont want them or my non-lifting friends to know I'm on gear. Thinking of telling people im on some new supplement if they ask

Same thing with me. My parents, wife, etc would freak out! My mom actually told me today that she better never hear of me using and ranted about how bad they are. I just spent about 500 bucks at GNC on protiens, preworkouts, arginine, creatine, etc. And I told them I have been killing it in the gym. lol. Do that, it has worked for me. Now they are all talking how big and built I am getting and they are so proud of me for wanting to better myself. Nice!

[DGK]

Even with steroids you should be killing it in the gym..

[FONZY007]

It's the cell tech and nitro tech lol

[adamjames]

its the bloated face that gives it away for me, going to use arimidex next cycle and primo so im hoping to keep my jawline this time, but tbh you cant hide the fact your on steroids if your doing them properly that is

[Alright john]

I go with the gnc protein shakes and the food. Also make them think by saying that they eat 70 grams of protein a day and I eat 350

[ChiveOn]

I just tell people that I finally got my diet in check. Other than that it's just extra protein shakes and creatine

[Lunk1]

I say the same thing everytime..I smile and say "I eat alot"

[Bio-Active]

I say the same thing everytime..I smile and say "I eat alot"

That's my line... LOL

[Alright john]

Just realised its 6 months old this thread

[wingding]

If you to wait to juice until you're done having kids and in you're late thirties, your partner will probably be glad you jump started your hormones!

Parents on the other hand will never understand. Although all these testosterone cream commercials might start to shift opinion in our favor. Maybe.

[OnTheSauce]

I tell them Tren works really good

[frank13]

I tell them I'm on steroids and then I pick them up and throw them across the room roar !!!
