Those of you who've done gear, what can I expect?

Huge fan. My natural T was fucked before I started so I put myself on TRT and have done a cycle. They’ve honestly changed my life. I’ll trade spending a few minutes twice a week giving myself the shot over my life before any day of the week. If you want to weigh the pros and cons, google “Seth Feroce steroids and life”. There’s a five part YouTube series where he dives into how to properly do steroids.

Not worth it dude. Once you get on its incredibly hard to get off. The moment you do you start to lose all those muscle gains and it takes a terrible toll on your psyche. Not to mention the damage you do to your heart and other organs.

Steroids magic doesnt necessarily come from muscle gain but the cognitive effects. A 500mg run of test will have you feeling like a god. Literally wish I wasnt joking. Steroids become addictive because when off you feel normal instead of superhuman. However at 6 foot. 6 years of proper training and youll be way bigger than you ever probably wanted.

You can expect that you will be the male version of a girl that has fake tits, lips, and ass. Dudes that take steroids are no different. Let everything about you be real.

I’ve done them for a several years starting at 19 until 25. I got blood work done when I was 19 and was at the lower end of things. I had issues with my dick stemming from low T. I self medicated with test then tried different steroids like Trenbolone, Masteron, Anadrol, Anavar, and Equipoise. All of which are my favorite steroids. At 23, I was going to compete in bodybuilding until I had some things happen in my personal life. At the same time, I got blood work done that I neglected for a long time. I knew it would be bad. My stack at the time was something like 2g of test E weekly, 1g of trenbolone acetate weekly, and 100mg of anadrol a day and 5iu hgh a day. I was huge and lean. I remember getting a phone call from the RN at the urologist office I went to. She was extremely concerned like I could hear it in her voice on how bad my blood work was. There wasn’t a health marker that was in within a healthy range; hematocrit, LH/FSH/ lipids/you name it was totally fucked up. I got off for a bit and wow did I feel like total ass shit. My health returned within a few months but I’m practically sterile without the use of a drug called HCG.

What I’m getting at is you’ll go into it light out of precaution. But you’re going to want to get better and better. The only way to do that is increasing your doses and increasing your calories while still training hard. It’s an addiction. If you go into this realize you may never be satisfied, keep track of your blood work, and understand you may have low T after years of abuse and will be reliant on test the rest of your life.

49 now, I dabbled a little bit from 18 to 23 or so. Nothing major, wasnt on them the entire time, and didnt take huge doses.

For me, yes I did get bigger and stronger. Which was nice, but it didnt help "with the ladies " all that much. Maybe a little bit, or maybe I was just going after ladies that it didnt matter that much to.

For me, it does mess with most people when you come off. It didnt hurt me that bad because again I didnt take that much. You said that you dont care if you take ten years off your life, well i guarantee you will when you hit 50. I have stayed in shape and continue to lift. I was still very strong up to my mid 40's. It is starting to decline now, although to be fair I was out of the gym for three years and just now getting back into it.

I have joint pain. Shoulders mostly, but elbows and knees too. I cant say how much was from the steroids and how much is just normal wear and tear from lifting all those years. I just train around what is hurting that day.

Now i have friends that we started lifting together all those years ago. And some of them used a lot more and longer than I did. Most of them are now very physically messed up. A lot of torn pecs, quad tendons and horrible back pain. These guys got much bigger than I did, and thus used a lot heavier weight.

I cant help but believe that the further you push yourself beyond you natural limits the more messed up your joints will be.

I do think you can use safely, and get nice gains. However, my experiences with friends and other guys i have lifted with tell me that you will pay a price.

Yeah we would all like to be huge, but....

My suggestion, work your ass off, you will get size. Maybe use a little bit, but dont go hog wild on it. And being that big makes getting nice clothes so much harder. I have a new mid life career where I wear suits and sportcoats/business casual. Get them tailored on a fit body, with good (not roided good) size and you will look like a million bucks. Especially in my case compated to average 49 year olds.

RossDDMarshalls · 2019-05-24T16:49:52+00:00

Not answering your question here, but I think it's relevant: what's your training like? Gear supplements your training, it doesn't make up for it.

4thAndLong · 2019-05-24T18:10:16+00:00

1.25mL of Test E and 1.25mL of EQ here weekly. I feel great. Have packed on muscle. I'm 9 weeks in. This is my first cycle. I will probably do Test E and Tren Ace next cycle and be done after that. I'm in the gym 6 days a week.

[deleted] · 2019-05-24T19:27:15+00:00

I'm probably going to be shit on for mentioning this but have you looked into SARMS. They are like steroids in the sense that they will cause you to get bigger then you could naturally, but they have minimal side effects.

They are experimental drugs though so they come with risks, they are however legal to purchase for "research".

I would suggest looking into LDG-4033 as it is in stage 3 clinical trials i.e tested on humans.

Just remember steroids, or PEDS; Nothing is free and it all comes at a cost and that cost will be your long term health.

Dimitri1919 · 2019-05-24T19:30:06+00:00

If you are going to take gear then make sure to check your blood at least once a week. That's all I have to say. If you are going to do it then play it safe.

gregoire_ · 2019-05-24T20:58:04+00:00

Don’t just measure your health by your size and leanness, If you’re gonna do it, be as safe as you can. Get bloodwork done FREQUENTLY and listen to medical professionals who tell you might be killing yourself

dani098 · 2019-05-24T23:01:28+00:00

I don’t believe in cycles. I blast and cruse. If you are gonna do it. It’s the only real way.

Dane50 · 2019-05-25T07:23:30+00:00

My dick has definitely gotten bigger since I started TRT years ago.

Juicing can bring great joy. Testosterone for me is a great mood elevator. Just be smart about it. Don’t get into any fights. Remember that your tendons won’t keep up with your muscle growth. Be prepared for possible acne. People that juice will know you are on cycle. Avoid orals especially if you drink. Go easy on the magic Tren. When running tren you seem to give off a scent that attracts all women.

Edit: get your pct lined up before you start your cycle!

taway987123456 · 2019-05-25T07:44:12+00:00

I just started my first cycle

How is your diet, sleep, training routine? Have you done your research on what your first cycle would be? Do you know the risks? Are you willing to get pre cycle, mid cycle and post cycle bloodwork to check health markers? Are you willing to put in the work?

These were all things I took into account, and I really did my research beforehand. I also had 10+ years of training experience before I hopped on.

Complete honesty from me, I love it. I have never made gains like this, so many people have accused me of steroids & given me compliments. I'm bigger and more ripped than I've ever been. My confidence and mood on cycle is amazing, my ambition in life is where it should be.

I'm so happy I did my due diligence beforehand and took the time to research and get everything dialed in. I was stalled in my workouts/ gains so I wanted that extra edge.

As for my experience with women, I have yet to go out and test my luck due to my schedule and commitment to sticking with my diet/workout regiment.

Please do your research, weigh the pros and cons and decide for yourself what's best. It is a serious decision to make.

marcon1259 · 2019-05-25T20:23:12+00:00

Personal opinion: if you don’t NEED TRT for health reasons and are putting this shit in your body that most likely WILL cause unwanted side effects later in life, for the sole purpose of attracting girls shallow enough to only care about muscles, you are pedastalizing women and are not red pill. I suggest you lift natural and focus on game, and you will get as much pussy as you want. It’s an easy way out. Do the work man.

Slipitinm8 · 2019-05-24T15:29:42+00:00

Depending on where you are from "gear" can mean different things, can you be precise on what you are referring too?

MisterRoid · 2019-05-24T15:39:19+00:00

You won't necessarily reduce your life expectancy. It depends on your genetics, what type of steroids you use and how much you use. Plain testosterone is mild and pretty safe in "low" doses, but things like oral steroids, nandrolone and tren can fuck you up good.
