About working out, getting jacked, and using performance enhancing drugs

I feel the same way about men that take steroids as I do about women who get cosmetic surgery: most of the time, it isn't worth it, it costs time, energy, and money, unwanted side-effects, doesn't address the underlying problems of insecurity, and the person is worse off afterwards.

I'll jump to TRT if my hormone levels start to drop abruptly. I can live with my testosterone levels being average. Doesn't mean I can't naturally try to jack it up with exercises, high protein diets and feeding my body the necessary nutrients and testosterone enhancers which do not affect the endocrine system (Tribulus Terrestris; it is proved to raise free test levels).

Anyone who did sufficient research will understand steroids is the complete opposite of a TRP idea; you pay too much for a short-term peak. If you're smart, you use the same resources for steady, long-term climbs. It gets harder the more our society tells us the value of being perfect NOW.

I've been called a supplement-slave before, but anyone who lives through a monday-friday 44-hour job routine and spends more than 3 hours daily dedicated to commuting can't get the necessary nutrients from diet alone. 0.5g per pound is nearly impossible without the aid of supplements. And there are those which do not have artificial stuff dreaded by nattys (albumine).

All this being said, my cousin needed to take steroids because he was way below the average hormone-wise for his age (15 at the time). He went through testosterone treatment, together with many other drugs to keep side effects clear, and became a jacked up motherfucker at 18. Basically, he took a complete 180º from a skinny beta to a ripped, muscled, bearded guy (he still is a midget at 5'4", though).

I looked into it years ago but the whole post-cycle therapy thing put me off. It's not as simple as 'taking it', you have to take other substances afterwards just to mitigate the side-effects, and the dosages have to be spot on.

For example, http://thinksteroids.com/articles/post-cycle-therapy-pct/

It's a dimension many guys don't really think about. So a huge number of users really fuck themselves up.

You welcome to your opinion regarding AAS use. However, you clearly have not done your research regarding the environmental factors that contribute to throwing the average Western males endocrine system out of homeostasis as well as the possibilities of other systems getting broken due to high stimulant intake, metabolic down regulation etc.

TLDR: shut the fuck up if you haven't really researched anything.
