i dont think it makes you look any older then you naturally would.some people just look older then they are.if anything you should look younger..skin will be tighter,more muscular...etc

I'm 48 and will start second this summer....people tell me I don't look anywhere near that age. I think overall fitness, skin tightness, blood flow, etc. help anyone look younger.

Most of us walk around in a state of semi-dehydration...the extra water intake during a cycle not only helps your kidneys, but your skin as well.

well it is possible that those who used heavy GH cycles have blunted their natural pituitary function, thus decreasing the amount of GH naturally produced.....just a theory.

On the contrary. Losing your ability to produce you body's natural hormones is what powers the aging process.

The only time I think it may appear that way is when a guy goes gray. I have a few friends that went grey from winny.

Increased Aging is actually a side effect from Steroids . I'll find the article on it and post it up.

**Jackman** · 03-01-2004, 11:23 AM

Does that also mean your lifespan also decreases?

**Vice** · 03-01-2004, 11:26 AM

I'd say so Jackman!
Don't quote me though.

Yow! If that's the case it will definitely put me off the stuff!!

I've wondered about that myself. Some of those WWF guys seem to age way prematurely and you know they've juiced a LOT.

At the same time I've got buddies who are mid 30's and have juiced since they were 18 who don't look overaged at all.

Bald and impotent at 23...that's normal, right?

Swellin · 03-01-2004, 12:09 PM

Let's see....increased hair growth..on back
...decreased hair retention...on top
...sagging boobs....

I guess that some of the sides sure can make you look older.

ninpo: 1
guy who says steroids make you look old: 0

**usualsuspect** · 03-01-2004, 12:45 PM

I get more gray hairs on my head when using test and my beard comes in a lot thicker and faster. So I would say the some of the androgenic side effects common with aas make you look older on the surface.

**quebecbulk** · 03-01-2004, 02:10 PM

branch warren:26 years old---->looks 50

marius pudzanowski(sp):25 years old----->looks 50

Now that i think of it when i was 18 some guy thaught i was 30

Swellin · 03-01-2004, 02:18 PM

Hell, my hairline was fading fast at 18...I never got carded for beer...even though I was 3 years too young. Pretty soon, I will be able to send in a picture and get social security.

**ripped4fsu** · 03-01-2004, 02:22 PM

I didn't start AAS until I was 34 so I already looked older...
but now I look BUFF and older... which IMO is better

**Danielle** · 03-01-2004, 02:27 PM

from the couple guys i've dated and know from the gym............steriods def. make you look older.......no question

**big4nuthin** · 03-01-2004, 03:02 PM

great. How much would have this effect? Arnold looks pretty good. So does Louie. Franco on the other hand..

**sp9** · 03-01-2004, 03:06 PM

90% of aging (skin) is from exposure to UV rays. Even from just normal daily activity. Sunscreen over the long hall will have you looking much younger than you are.

**damonic** · 03-01-2004, 03:20 PM

Sean Ray doesnt look 50 and he's juiced for years. Also when they show pics of pro bodybuilders their bf is so low they look half dead. Half dead = 40 years old.

**monkeyjuice** · 03-01-2004, 03:43 PM

when people say steroid use ................

do they mean years of pro-longed use?

OR

Is 2 or 3 cycles considered steroid use?

I think the term "STEROID USE" is used very loosely! Are they sampling people who know what they are doing with the juice or people who take rediculous cycles year round for 15 years?

**bigcat3727** · 03-01-2004, 04:10 PM

I think all the pros look a lot older than they are in their faces simply because of all the tanning IMO Gunter and Lee Priest look 45

**magicstick2003** · 03-01-2004, 04:16 PM

i think tanning may have a role in the whole looking older aspect.... since a lot of guy will tan when on to decrease acne this may plan a role in it... as for the pros now a days i think all the hgh they pump in themselves will make them look a little younger.. but im not too sure on that one.

**slowpokn** · 03-01-2004, 04:27 PM

I've been looking for it. I actually have it in one of my school folders, the exact physiological reasonings. I'm searching for it bro, when I have it I'll post it up.
