1) for our own benefit to reach certain goals.

2) don't bother as they won't understand.

2.1) i use the comparison of a female member of the family being on birth control, i say "before you give me grief about taking an exogenous male hormone, tell her the same, as she's taking a exogenous female hormone just because she can't have responsible sexual encounters. Oh and she's only 17. I'm 35. I made my own decisions, but she was basically forced.

Or any variation of that argument.

Firstly, what is your reason for taking them? And secondly, what is your reason for volunteering that information to your family?

1. Sometimes when a daddy has to do something to keep from cheating on mommy, abandoning his family, or commiting suicide... He does it regardless of what everyone else thinks.

2. Because I want to, now go back to eating your McDonald's and stop telling me about healthy choices.

3. Theres the door

For me it was the want to get bigger and faster and after 30 it gets a little harder without a little help. I just told my wife hey I'm going to give this a try and we both fell in love with it lol

Mine was a medical issue. My T levels were low low low and my quality of life was in the toilet. Tired all the time, come home and go straight to the couch to take a nap, can concentrate on complex problems at work, etc. I got on TRT and eventually to cycling to increase my quality of life.

My wife loves my energy and enthusiasm for life. She also loves to show off her "old man" to everyone. LOL

Oh I think I misunderstood...I thought OP was asking for himself....as in how to tell his family lol.

For me, I wanna compete and that isn't gonna happen without gear. Plain and simple. Sure, they have "natty" competitions but most of those guys are on shit anyway, plus I wanna compete at the NPC or IFBB level eventually so I have a lot of growing to do!

As for my family, they don't ask and I don't volunteer that information. It's irrelevant to my role in the family. As long as I'm treating people with kindness and respect and taking care of my responsibilities then it's no one's place to question my goals and measures I have to take to attain them.

My girl knows because she's my partner and has a right to know, plus I needed to know right from the start whether she's going to be supportive of my goals or not. Luckily she is completely on board and is my biggest fan. I feel truly blessed as she's as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, but that's enough gushing about my lady lol. Point is IMO it's on a "need to know" basis. Most people simply don't need to know.

I would only tell my spouse and maybe some very close training partners. I wouldn't tell young children, friends, other family members, etc. None of their business really.

Most people that know me, know I use, but I live in a small town and know most all law enforcement, da, judges and so on. Couple years ago, the da wanted me to hook him up with a source...lol

Most my family knows, except mom. She was a nurse/house supervisor for many years, and would get on my ass if she knew!
