Hey lads, 20 year old 5'10 male here.

Been lifting for about 8 months, been seeing decent gains; started at 165 25% BF, now I'm 175-180 (it fluctuates) at 19% BF. I look better, and feel better. Lifts are going up as well (Albeit slowly). I used to lift back in high school, as well as play team sports, so this isn't the first time I've been in decent shape, just the first time I've taken physique/bodybuilding so seriously.

Me and my friends sometimes make jokes about hopping on gear. We say stuff like "Work hard tren hard, eat clen, anavar give up" and other shit like that. We're mostly joking, however nobody can deny that obviously roids are fucking insane compared to lifting natty. I have some buddies who say they would never do roids, and some who say they might start gearing up after they turn 25 and stop developing.

My question for you lads is, is it worth it? I see lots of comments on the main TRP sub about how they hopped on gear and it changed their lives, however conventional wisdom says to avoid them.
