    New Member's Story- My mistake-laden past with steroids

    Whats up everybody? I'm a 5'9 225 pounder currently about 12-15% bodyfat. I recently got calipered at 9.5 but I believe I carry too much on my gut for that to be true. I've read tons of articles and books on steroids during my life and now believe I am fairly knowledgable. Unfortunately that was not always the case, this is my story:
    At 13 I was 5'9 and 150 pounds playing highschool football. A senior offered me some pills in the locker room and told me if I wanted to play I would take them (Football was all that mattered in my town) and I took them. 1 tab pre-workout for 3 weeks.... I had no idea what the pills even were, much less what dosing or PCT was.
    At 13 I am assuming my HTPA was far from developed and I believed this set the course for me being fairly messed up by the time I turned twenty.
    By the time I was a junior I got up to a fat 220 but the season took its toll and I fell down to 180. Desperate I started on the cutting edge new drug of the time, superdrol. I ran 3 superdrol cycles that school year and I got back up to 230 range. I was losing tons of hair on my head, getting spliting headaches all the time and had bad gyno. My total cholesterol was near 400 and my hdl's weren't even readable.
    After waiting a few years, or wising up (its amazing how leaving highschool makes people much more patient) at 22 I started up again, but not with performance enchancement in mind. My gyno had gotten so painful, but I had no insurance to get surgery for it so I self medicated.
    8 weeks of masteron prop (I know everyone says test has to be base but this worked very well for me, giving me the gyno results (masteron was initally used for breast cancer much like nolva and was taken off the market because orals became avaliable.) I also got some decent gains out of it)
    and 10mg's of nolva a day followed by 40/40/20/20 for PCT and my gyno pain was gone. Blood tests confirmed that my hormone pannel was finally where it was supposed to be after years of being messed up, and my total cholesterol had gone down over 100 points.

    Thats my horror story, in short to re-inforce that doing drugs without research=bad ideas. Now besides being bald and having a slightly elevated cholesterol level I'm almost a normal guy.

    DAMN good post... we need more people to post stories like this. mine is below:

    i had a much more docile experience but sorta similar. i must have been around 19 or 20 y/o at least and didnt do enough research. i started on 100mg deca and 250mg sustanon, each per week. i did a 6 week cycle and then just stopped... no PCT, etc. then i did another cycle with higher dosages, 400 deca and 500 test 6-8 weeks or something like that and then stopped without PCT. after this i learned a hell of alot after having a horrible libido and just being "down" all the time, not to mention losing most of what i gained and getting fatter than if i had never cycled in the first place. later cycles were done with good dosages, anti-E's, and PCT, and were a few years later after i had matured more.

    so even a super mild story like mine shows how much you can mess yourself up. i heavily regret cycling before 23 y/o and cycling without spending a few years naturally. hopefully people will learn from this.

    Just had a new blood test after over 6 months of using absolutely zero hormonal compounds.

    Total cholesterol- 232
    HDL- 27
    Tri's-390 (largely genetic there)
    Serum test- 220 (normal range 250-900ish can't remember off top of head)
