Lady I worked with was prescribed steroids, she had a bad allergic reaction, plus I think she put on heaps of weight.
riggaz
I've always been interested but wouldnt ever use them.. Probably

i have a mate who used them and he is cut as fuck now.

small dick o'clock ?

warney, it shrinks your balls not your cock..

If someone were to use steriods doesn't mean you can train any less, infact you have to train at the same rate if not harder to make use of it.

You wont have a problem with them unless you start abusing them. If you use them for what they are prescribed for in their correct dose you will be fine.

My uncle abused steroids, his liver is fucked and he has cycles of hepatitis every few months, but he's getting better, but he said he will never do it again.

I assume he used a lot of orals?

Steroids are like anything. Abuse them, and you will hurt yourself. No different to eating Macca's regularly.

I am presuming it will be some form of testosterone or GH if a quack is prescribing it. It will no doubt be way under dosed to have any real anabolic benefit. I am sure the moderate doses will help an injury though.

Please do your research on this subject. There are masses of information on the internet, and you should research them in depth before putting anything in your body.

In all seriousness if you need roids to achieve the look you want then maybe ask yourself questions about your desire to be LARGE via artificial means unsure.gif

It is more than likely a cortisone based steroid, completely different to anabolic steroids. List the name of it and I can tell you more. You will probably experience some fluid retention. Or send me a PM if you would prefer to keep it off here.
bunit99
3/4 of the people at the gym i go to i rekin are on roids.
i always here them talking about them and stuff.
cotemplated taking them but thought otherwise.
only one of the guys has had bad effects, but that was from severe abuse.

Yeah he did, started taking them when he was either 16 or 18 I don't remember exactly, I'll have to ask him more about it next time. But he is 33 now and his body is still fucked from them.

He said there was alot of steroids in circualtion with the local plods as well.

So many misconceptions about steroids, it's kinda funny, but it shits me to tears.

The orals are pretty severe on the liver, from what I have heard..... Hope he is doing better these days.

The doctors were contemplating giving him a liver transplant at one stage. I don't get a whole lot of information out of him, he got pretty serious roid rage and at point time threw his ex around the kitchen (as in picked her up and threw her) and assaulted the 3 police officers that rocked up to the house to arrest him.
well, the fact that he's a manic depressant wouldn't of helped either.

Ive been on a perscription steroid for the last 10+ years, if your doctor is monitoring it properly and you do the right thing you should be fine.


And there nothing wrong with the size of my tackle, and unfortunately it all works properly too!

I probably still will at some stage, just busy at the moment so not on here much. The biggest problem with apparent roid rage is that it really is just an exageration of your normal personality, maybe shorten your fuse a bit. So angry people just become angrier, and unfortunately these are the types that usually take them. Being a manic depressant would have thrown his whole system even further out.

Funny to see someone list the old shock the central nervous system trick to get prescription drugs, as long as you find the right doctor. This is one of the reasons I don't use any pre-workout mixes that are just stacked with caffeine, they can actually be kinda counter productive to some people.

It is a documentary that is a very similar style to say Fahrenheit 911 and Bowling for Columbine (they all share the same producers) Bigger, Stronger, Faster is centered around the use of performance enhancing drugs in contemporary society, both in sport and general life. A large portion of the documentary is focused on writer and director Chris Bell and his family, in which he is a middle of three brothers and both the of them use steroids. The film contains a variety of interviews from parties that hold contradicting views on performance enhancers (Medical professionals, parents, professional, recreational users and even the "Genetic Freak" Greg Valantino) and offers a large insight into all types of performance enhancers, as well as debunking various myths within the fitness industry.

Unfortunately for such an informative film, it received a theatrical release in the US and none in Australia. I was lucky enough to receive a copy a while ago, but to my knowledge it screens on the movie greats channel on Foxtel. If you have access to it I'd definitely recommend watching it, well worth two hours of your time.


Here's the trailer: http://www.biggerstrongerfastermovie.com/


As outline above by Bunit (and pointed out in Bigger, Stronger, Faster) roidrage is statistically very rare and only occurs in a marginal percentage of steroid users (about 5%) and rather than inducing rage, it just tends to magnify personal traits. So if you're normally quick to anger, this will be become more apparent whilst using anabolic steroids. Most of the general public is extremely short sighted and ignorant when it comes to performance enhancers as they tend to perpetuate the bullshit that is spoonfed to them by jounalistic media. The most common misconception which exemplifies this is "your penis will shrink" when in reality the correct side affect is testicular atrophy (shrinking of the balls) I don't use anabolic steroids but the ignorance of some people shits me up the wall. /rant

I remember watching a documentary on a famous wrestler who used Roids. He became so addicted to it.. but over time it slowly began to take it's toll on his body.

Long story short, he now has permanent liver damage and has roid rage issues.

I've seen it too, good documentary that.

The trick is to "ramp up" your intake...Start on small dosage and increase week by week...say 0.5ml start and work from there. Your body produces about (roughly here) 230ml per week naturally(i've been told). as soon as you put a produced testosterone into your sysytem, the body automatically shuts natural test down...Ropel is my flavour of the month and i haven't noticed any side affects as yet (other than usual fluid retention) but that can be controlled by cardio if your diet is good...The only downside is when you come off a cycle, your test levels drop and you become a bit of an emotional bitch for a couple of weeks until the balls start producing naturally again. I've found that a product called "Testostagrow" is a nice buffer from stop of intake till body produces naturally again. This is just my story and i'm sure there's a few that have there own out there.....As with anything these days.."Buyer Beware..Results may vary"

Never seen that, sounds like a good documentary though.

The Man Whose Arm Exploded, is a good documentary.

I was surprised how many policemen were selling steroids, back in my gym days.

Even in center parking on a busy main street, selling steroids in plain sight for all to see.

Ropel is one of the cheapest ones on the market, very low quality. Are you buying bladders or are they putting it into bottles for you and making massive profits for themselves? The reason I ask this, is there is a risk of infection by doing this. None of it is done in a controlled environment. I'm not here to lecture you about steroid use, I believe each to their own, but I want to see people doing it safely. And yes I do know of people personally who have had infections in muscle tissue due to bad handling and injection practices. This is not something that you want. Make sure you use clean sterile needles and syringes, and both are placed in sharps containers when finished. You can get all of this for free through the needle exchange program setup by Qld Health. They will give you varying sizes of syringes, needles, sharps containers, alcohol wipes, and even advise you how to inject yourself properly and safely. I highly recommend you going and having a chat with them. They are called Biala Management Centre, 270 Roma Street, Brisbane 4000, 07 3837 5989 (Business); 1800 177 833 (QLD only), 24 Hours 7 Days. Ironically enough, they are next door to the Police Station, but do not be alarmed by this. It is a free service to help ensure the proper health of needle drug users, not to try and find out who they are and arrest them.

You are partially correct, as you introduce an artificial test into the body, your bodies natural production starts to slow. The other effect is that your body can start to produce more estrogen, as it likes to keep a balance between the 2. Are you using any estrogen blockers? You will actually see better results, as well as have less risk of testicular shrinkage or gyno. Very important to keep up the anti-estrogen ever after you finish your cycle. There are some legal ones on the market as well as the usual Nolvadex etc on the black market. This will also help with the emotional come down. I even know guys who go and get anti-depressants to help with the come downs, bit extreme, but it's essentially what they are good for. You are actually putting your mind into the beginning stages of severe depression.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of green tea and taking any herbal dieuretics if the water retention is bad. Have you advised your GP of your actions? I strongly advise this. After he gives you a lecture about the possible damages you could be doing to your body if you are unlucky, he will then be able to monitor your health via checkups and blood tests. The other thing I advise doing is educating yourself better as to what exactly you are putting into your body, not just talking to other dudes at the gym who are on the gear. Read medical journals and publications by doctors and professors, not idle chit chat on bodybuilding forums.

Stay away from other toxins, alcohol, drugs, etc. Get plenty of good quality food into you, lots of rest, some good antioxidants, and some regular sunshine (vitamin D). Actually that's good advice for general living haha.

Ive got a few mates that have done cycles, and they have put on some defined size. it does help but be prepared to do alot of work.
fingerbanger
My size has increased as has strength...Shoulders have a more defined peak now and biceps and triceps are better shaped. My chest has a bit more size on it, although i always had a decent chest anyway..Lats are starting to come through more defined too..Cardio and diet will take the excess fluid and fat away along with b units recomendations...so far so good for me but my cycle wont finish until just before xmas..to be continued.

Anyone know much about the use of HGH?

Edit: Imp love that sig ahahaha

QUOTE (Chris!! @ Nov 13 2009, 07:07 PM) *
Anyone know much about the use of HGH?

Yes and there is even more of a risk associated with buying it that you will be getting either fake stuff or damaged stock. HGH is very fragile, you shouldn't even shake the bottle or expose to direct sunlight. People will try and charge an arm and a leg for something that is either damaged or has gone off.

I have an older friend who tried some a few years ago, he said that it will fix everything except for a broken marriage. Very good for injuries, as it makes everything bigger and stronger, but this is also it's downfall. It makes all cells grow, muscles, tendons, cancerous cells. If you have underlying cancer cells, or could be predispositioned to get cancer later in life, you can accelerate the process by taking HGH if unlucky. I am talking fairly big doses though over a period of time, but like everything, the more you expose yourself to it, the more risk you have. If you were to have very small controlled amounts as prescribed by one of these 'well being' centres, it's basically beneficial for you, especially older people. Will strip body fat off you like nothing else though.

But as stated earlier, it has to be treated in a careful manner to ensure it's lifespan, so when you are forking out alot of money to some drug dealer with no guarantees, you would be disappointed when you don't get the results you expected. There are some decent quality natural supplements on the market these days, they are definately improving over the years, but sadly this country still blocks most of the best steroid alternatives from coming into the country. I do recall reading several years ago that Aust is also one of the biggest manufacturers of veterinary grade steroids in the world.
