i have never done a cycle and may never, if i do it will be done correctly with just enough doses to get the job done, i will take the required vitamins, milk thisle, cranberry extract, glucosomine, and drink a crap load of water. I do believe that yes the mainstream media overexaggerate (sorry for spellin) when the subject of roids is brought up. However with the rampant use of roids by people that do not know what they are doing and the many possible incorrect and dangerous ways to abuse these drugs (such as no use of the before mentioned milk thisle, etc... and no use of anti-e's...) people are hurting themselves which will prolly catch up with them one day. A quote i heard and actually thought long about was this > (dont know who said it...) "you never realize how important good health is until you no longer have it.." Sometimes its just best to play the card that you're delt... (meaning the body God gave you), anyways, my answer is still yes to the thread question, but i do not think that roids are "harmless" as some would say... btw, im new to the forums (week or two) and never have said hey to everyone, im 19 years old, been workin out for about 2 years serious, bout 2 more years before that loosely.. just my thoughts on all this
