Good post freakmaster - I deffinitly agree. I went through the trenches of digging for more and more ways to gain naturally. And the desire to learn would not have been as good had I started AAS much earlier. AAS is no magic pill to get started - it's just another supplement for trained athletes, IMO.

Injury is a big thing too. Getting elbow, knee or shoulder injuries off cycle is a bitch. If you are not familiar on how to protect these joints before AAS - the potential to seriously hurt yourself is very high.
