Cardiologist dude said he'd been studying this stuff since 2005 and looked at the hearts of a lot of steroid users; all along there'd been a few lucky bastards who'd escaped any ill effects but most showed significant hypertrophy of the cardiac muscle, leading to much thicker and stiffer walls and tiny chambers and everything working worse and worse. Likelihood of needing a heart transplant (no cakewalk in itself) or an early death would be pretty high. Granted, these were mostly guys who'd been using for years, not just run a cycle or two and then quit, but still. One might imagine that one eventual side benefit of this type of research would be finding out exactly why there are some guys who don't get swole heart death syndrome and maybe even use that for predictive or preventative purposes but I gathered this wasn't the primary objective.

Wrestlers are a pretty well known example of how steroid use ends up. Most of them die of heart attacks at 49 but some are totally fine and yet still others like Rick Flair are actually just ancient mummies from Babylonian times come to taste the sweet pulp of our soul juices

Your own production is strongly diminished yeah but its temporaryand you usually return to normal levels after a cycle Long time abusers could suffer a more permanent thing though Another funny side effect of roiding is moobs. A lot of dudes will get bitch tits on their cycles because they dont take the other drugs you need to take in order to prevent these things Fyi i basically got a phd in steroids since a friend of mine is a user and i am mining him for info because after 35+ when my natural test levels crash and my body decides to quit on me im def gonna do some roids

Till then I'm just in it for the body high I guess.

An ode to old dudes in gyms: Oh old dude, showering with the curtain open, Why? Oh old dude, legs splayed at the entrance of the steam room, Why? Oh old dude, shaving in the sauna, Why? Oh old dude, laying like Kate Winslet from Titanic in the steam room, Why? Oh old dude, flossing your ballsack with a towel at the entrance to the locker room, GO loving DIE. (Disclaimer: I'm not a poet. But seriously. gently caress those dudes.)

Buying new pants isn't as fun as having your old pants rip from your gains. My thighs have shredded at least two pairs of pants on the inseam at work. You're missing out.

I felt stuck at bench for awhile until I woke the hell up and separated shoulders and chest days with my bicep/back days. Now I feel like I have actual strength on my chest days and am back to GAINS™.

In fact, the only right sized jeans I can find that fit my waist and my thighs are 7 for all mankind and cost 150-200 a piece.  Fortunately they last forever.

My size 34s already have a waistband I can fit my arm down pretty easily while they're buttoned up, and they're still a little snug in the thighs. If I wear 36s I'm able to fit both arms down them. You're right, though, I've got about 30-35 pounds of fat on me. If you have a pro tip for targeting the fat in my thighs, that'd be great.

I mean, do whatever, but if you're lifting w the end goal of improving your appearance consider my words

I don't think you understand how pant sizes work. My waist fits comfortably in a 30, it's just incredibly uncomfortable, bordering on painful, for my thighs as size 30 pants are designed for the average person that wears them, not someone with swole thighs and a 30 waist. Short of cutting chunks of muscle from my thighs I cannot change this

Unless your thighs resemble this:  You have a layer of fat covering them, like this:  That fat and muscle is what is causing your pants to not fit. HTH.
