Steroids are not that bad.
 

Since there's a conversation where people are convinced that weed is evil... let's start one about Roids.

I'm telling you. Steroids are NOT worse than either tobacco, weed or alcohol.
I don't know why most people think it's evil shit. They are just not educated.

maybe they have just read about people going into rages and killing themselves and their families, or maybe just read about people having heart attacks, or whatever other side effects you can die from

oh yeah... maybe a shrinking penis isnt that bad either

You see, that's what I was talking about when i said "not educated"

The guys with really bad side effects like heart attacks ABUSED steroids for many years(10+), stacking many other shit with it and did not respect the posology at all.

You think that steroids would be prescribed by doctors if it was THAT bad?

I don't believe that. I know someone who had a very big penis - bigger than I liked :1orglaugh - and he had probably taken enough steroids in his life to bulk up a small country. If steroids shrank your pecker, he'd be a eunuch.

THEY ARE FUCKING FINE YOU FUCKING FUCK ARRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH


oh Sorry bit of roid rage. :p

halfpint: Greg Valentino is a moran and has synthol in his arms, not steroids.

Synthol is injectable oil that makes you look a bit like you have muscles... but it's just oil in your arm. One of his bicep exploded because he used too much.

I know a guy that died of complications from roids. He was 39 and left 2 daughters behind.

holy shit one of his biceps exploded ...:1orglaugh serves him right

Who came to that conclusion? Does the autopsy papers say so? What happened exactly? Often people blame steroids but they have no scientific proof, data or methodology to back it up.

R.I.P. by the way, never cool to die young and leave young family behind.

It didn't explode - he infected it by using a dirty needle to inject synthol. It's a well documented fact, there's even a video somewhere of him squeezing the puss out of it.

anobolic steroids taken under doctors supervision is much safer than being a smoker or being an alcoholic. Steroids are PRO Health because Testosterone is natural in the body and steadily declines after a male reaches 30+.

ANY drug that is abused is dangerous. People associate roid rage with normal healthy doses are idiots. People who abuse a drug like testosterone are most likely abusing other drugs as well, among other problems.

The real dangerous steroids are prescribed by weak as doctors every day and are FAR more dangerous. Take Prednisone for example. Its a deadly steroid with NO health benefit, and kills many patients while destroying your body and immune system yet it is prescribed like candy to COVER up all kinds of ailments leading to others.

Kids on steriods being bad is a no brainer...when your a teenager your body is not done growing so it is flowing with testosterone, thus the acne, mood swings, and sometimes depression. Add a bunch more testosterone then those symptoms are much more serious. If you think that taking testosterone in normal medicinal doses as an adult creates roid raging crazy people you are not only uneducated, you believe every peice of garbage information you hear on the nightly news. Which just makes you dumb.

I agree. I think if cycled properly they can be relatively safe.

Steroids are painted to be a bad thing because of the roid rage news stories, and the bad press relating to the extremely high doses that pro athletes take for performance enhancement which have profound physical side effects.

Truth be told, steroids like testosterone and also human growth hormone are legally available by doctor prescription and are commonly taken in sensible doses with blood work being monitored by many males of a certain age who care about their health and their optimum physical well being as part of an anti-aging regimen. The hysteria against steroids will delay the wide spread popularity of testosterone therapy and acceptance of HGH as a common treatment for everyone, but almost any male (and females too in the case of HGH) can benefit and reverse many of the effects of aging by using these hormones regularly. It ought to be common practice for anyone over say, thirty-five or forty years old, same as brushing your teeth and someday soon I am convinced that it will be a part of every doctor checkup.

"steroids" includes a wide range of drugs. some very dangerous... most not at all.

as i have said before. using the the word "steroids" to describe all of them and the risk factor is like saying "alcohol" kills without ever distinguishing between someone who has a glass of wine a day with dinner and someone who drinks 2 bottles of grain alcohol a day and passes out in dumpsters.

its really too bad. HGH and testosterone are very good for you in proper doses.... but because of all the hysteria, hype and lies, few outside of the bodybuilding/pro-sports community will ever benefit from them.

damn sad

lol

I know a guy who was 18 and healthy who drank alcohol until he passed out and died.

I know a guy who took zanex and killed his family.

I know a guy who drank soda all day long and died.

I know a guy who took supplements from GNC and his kidneys failed..

I know thousands of people who die daily because of smoking ciggerettes.

Blah blah blah.. I could go on for days


These two guys used massive amounts of Oral (which are far worse for you internal organs) and injectable steriods and growth hormones for DECADES and they are doing fine. Your argument doesnt hold much merit.

Exactly. Even aspirin and ibuprofen account for an estimated 7,600 deaths and 76,000 hospitalizations in the United States per year.

Do things in moderation and you MIGHT be ok.

Wow you sure have been fed a lot of bad information.

My body is a temple.

and its your temple to do as you wish, right?

As far i know, roids are used for medical cure. Thus, if it's overly used it may cause the worst thing that could happen in a man's body particularly death.

Thats SYNTHOL not steroids

And he's right steroids, like most things, are ok when done in moderation. Imo.

I hear crack can be a gas....:)

Riods doesn't shrink your penis. It shrinks the testes.

that looks bad for me

Steroids are not bad when taken in proper doses and with proper PCT.

your body is a temple that starts dying at about 25yrs old, primarily due to a natural decline in hormones and/or their release.. which doesn't have to happen

:2 cents:

Doing any drug at any level is bad for your body. It's a drug, don't try to say it's safe because you use small amounts of it and can't see side effects. Even though you can't see them, you still have them.

You can have a person that does crack every day and live to be an old man, same with drinking, or any drug. And a spoon full of water can drown you. But since none of that is the topic and the topic is roids..

Roids can give you a rage even within the first few controlled cycles, it has been proven that the accelerated testosterone rate is not matched with other hormone rates which causes imbalances in the body and will shut down or turn on in excess other parts to try and balance things out. When you abuse the drug, the effects are magnified, not 'just' introduced.

back in the 80's you could go to a doctor get a script it was much much safer.then they made it illegal then it went under ground. You also dont know what you are getting.

I know Gregg from way back when before he put all that shit in his arms. We worked out at the same gym in NY in 82-84. He was pretty big back then and really strong.Also one of the nicest, funniest guys I knew.

Everything is fine in moderation. Steroids included.

i love how that guy keeps trying to deny it was an absess from injecting synthol. "oh, it got infected from dirty needles..."

:1orglaugh

he had an awesome body when he was younger too. too bad that he totally destroyed himself like that.
