Thoughts on steroids during college?

I wrote a long comment about this ages ago but let me see if I remembered the gist of it.

Health aside, as you are quite young, you haven’t reached your genetic potential. Just that alone should disqualify you from taking them.

Why?

By taking roids early, you rob yourself of the small, numerous but accumulative victories you would get as a natty. You rob yourself of the first time benching 135 then 225, squatting 225 then 315, the compliments by friends etc.

When you get those accomplishments on roids, you’ll know deep down it was only due to roids. This is why you’ll never quit them- they took credit for things you didn’t need them for and so you’ll need them to be the person you never were.

Ask yourself why do you want to take them?

Ideally, roids should be only for those who want to compete and that’s training for at least 5 years consistently.

Anything else you are jeopardising your health just for validation on the beach,

They seem fun. Also seems like a lifetime deal tho

How old are you? Don’t consider taking them until your at least 25. When your 25 and you still want to take them check out your grandparents health history because steroids will increases the odds of you having the same problem but at a younger age. I can go on and on.

It seems that you just want the results with no work and steroids won’t help if you don’t know what your doing in the kitchen and in the gym.

If your best reasons are "free money from mom and dad" and "I live solo" then please stay the hell away. We don't need any more irresponsible users contributing to the negative stereotypes.

If you do take them please be smart and take your PCT’s or you’re gonna just be a flabby emotional bitch. You know, like one of those feminist.

Source: me, my friend took them, for lazy, stopped training and I can’t tell if he’s Samuel or Samantha now

All this emotional garbage about first big lift. Who gives a shit? I don't.

Here is how it is from experience which is more than most of this thread.

Reach your peak naturally first. The reason for this is connective tissue. You know the growth rate? Compare that to muscles with test boosted to 2.5 normal. Your tendons will be fucked and you will hurt yourself long term. Also by not being expert level in your lifts with form, any injury you are sustaining from bad from will be exacerbated.

The stack I did was after retiring from my sport of nearly 20 years with a fitness minor under my belt. Form was perfect, fitness level was already Olympic level (talent wasn't). Going with what I had I did 5 russian dbol a day which I calculated gave me [1800ng/dl] T which was peak bang/buck based on my research. I would only have seen incremental gains from upping my dose from there. In 12 weeks I gained 40 pounds or so.

Result: Guys everywhere wouldn't leave me the fuck alone! I am trying to chat some chick up, guys keep fucking my game up by talking to me about the gym. Grabbing me, touching me. Younger crowd (18-22) were "afraid if I got mad" but cougars loved it. The side effects of what I was on was a god damn emotional roller coaster. Med School you need to focus on Steps exams, you can't do that training 3 hours a day.

Better option: get a dog, prescribe it 1.2mg testosterone a week (so its legal-ish) and shoot that after you graduate and have DEA. Get a friend to give you an anti estrogen to control hair loss, puffiness and emotion aspects.

YEARS later, still big compared to most.

As someone who uses I wouldn’t recommend it if you can be happy with your physique naturally. Once you start there is a very low chance you will ever stop. It’s really addicting imo.

I wouldn't recommend it until you peak naturally (4-5 years of hard work, minimum). Then you will have proved YOURSELF, and will have the discipline and knowledge to do it safely. There are steroids subreddit where fat/lazy people share their progress and it's always horrible. They don't have the mental foundation to do it correctly.

MisterRoid · 2020-01-25T03:12:21+00:00

Bad idea unless you are ready to stay on for life. At least get your testosterone levels checked before you decide. But it's definitely worth it if you have low T and can't increase it enough naturally.

Some dumb ass comments imo

Take them as long as you have the free time to train effectively, and diet effectively. I'm sure you have your school schedule planned and you have a good idea of your workload. If your workload is manageable, then roid.

What cycle are you planning on taking? Whats your bodyfat? I suggest making sure you start your cycle at a lower bodyfat.

There's no fuckin point in roiding when you're more advanced, i wish i roided from day 1.

You seriously have to be a fucking idiot to say you need to be at genetic potential to roid... then that means you fucking lose 99% of your gains when you come off. wtf?????

Steroids are for corner cutting CUCKS

TreatYouLikeAQuean · 2020-01-25T00:59:50+00:00

Bodybuilder TRT dose or other anabolics?

Applying to med school as well and I plan to get on bodybuilder TRT dosage little bit down the road. Only 22 rn.

fuck_everyone__ · 2020-01-25T01:00:42+00:00

Steroids are great. Just read a lot on them so you know what you are doing. I’d only use them if I had been training for a while (4+ years).
