How did steroids affect you?

First cycle: 500 mg test E +`dbol kick starter.
Currently Blast and cruise, blasting atm: 100mg anavar ED and 500mg test E and 500mg tren E week
Psychological: Didn't help at all, had issues before and steroids didn't solve them (self-esteem, low worth) + a little body dismorphya where I am unable to tell myself if I legit looks like I lift sometimes, a bad angle on a mirror can ruin me fucking entire day lol.
Physical: Bigger and more muscle lol, no gyno but nipples get slightly puffy if estradiol goes out of control.
Environmental: Comments from the people like you look big, do you go to the gym (mostly guys lol) and overall sometimes an intimidating vibe (that is not always beneficial). Getting some looks from women (specially gym, beach, swimming pool) obviously but still too afraid to capitalize on it

I went .328/73/137 with a 1.379 OPS and an 11.9 WAR

The__Tren__Train · 2018-05-07T16:15:44+00:00

started when I was early 20's

first cycle was 500mg test P/week, 50mg dbol/day, .5mg adex/day

did very cycles following that, then started blasting and cruising.

late 20's now.. currently on about 1g of test E, and 250mg of tren E with 2.5mg Letro EOD.

never going to come off.. blood work and scans are good. going to drop doses and maintain after I finish cutting...

because I want to stay healthy, and don't have the 'freak gene' nor the desire to pump myself full of grams upon grams of gear, gh, insulin and pounds of food a day required to hang with the big boys.

im about 5'9.5 and 211 pounds at 6% bodyfat currently. completely glycogen depleted from DNP.

This is probably not what you want to hear but this is my experience with steroids. Keep in mind that I was 19 when I went on with approx 6 years of gym exp (+ competitive swimmer.)

My first cycle was 500 mg test E. Also done multiple DNP cycles (not a steroid but in companies with it)

Psychological: I told my self I felt great, but in hindsight, I must have been depressed or something. I lost all my feeling, never got sad and never got happy. My parents were going through a divorce after 20 years at the same time and I wasn't supportive at all despite living and working from home.

Gains wise I got really huge, both fat and muscle wise. (Went from 92 to 124 kg). I thought I looked great but looking back at the videos that I recorded now I looked fucking horrible. I was big but not plaensent.

pretty much 90% of the time I was on cycle I was sitting in my room alone working, I didn't want to talk to anyone or be around anyone. When I worked out I only went to the gym when I knew there weren't going to be people. So going around midnight because I wanted to be alone.

After my cycle was done I didn't want to come off since I knew I was going to crash, so I went on a "Blast n Cruise" since I pretty much got hooked and wanted to do another cycle right away.

I wanted to drop my fat again which took a very long time, I probably got up to 20%+ body fat. But of course, it didn't go as fast as I wanted.

So I basically got depressed again from being fat, so I decided to go off completely because my AI turned out to be fake and gave my slight gyno. Which freaked me out.

Problem with steroids is that when you come of. You know you WONT EVER make those kind of gains off them. And by going on cycle you pretty much "ruin" your natural gains.

I was gone from the gym about 1 year and was in the mindset of me never being able to make the same kind of gains again without steroids.

Crazy thing is that I still consider doing them again to this day.

All I have to say to you is if you really want to do steriods. NEVER STOP DOING THEM! You're training, motivation and mindset will never be the same after you go off. I can promise you that.

I just wanted to share this because I've been thinking of making my own post about this but I wasn't sure if any people were doing steroids on here.

Good luck and hope this helps someone. Feel free to ask anything I will gladly help you out.

I’m not gonna answer all your questions.

But something important is to manage the estrogen right during and post cycle. My experience with the high estrogen post cycle was that I felt like a woman. Nothing physical, but it was like I was taking hormone therapy and literally had swinging emotions, neediness, natural beta, desire to submit.

Now I manage my estrogen pretty seriously on and off cycle. Major personal benefits.

I'm curious about honest effects on libido, erection quality, ball size, etc. There's a lot written about that, but there are also a lot of guys seemingly downplaying those effects.
