My bench dropped drastically 4 years ago because of shoulder or chest pain I don't remember exactly but it was the impetus for me starting juicing. By the time the steroids arrived I remember my bench was back to normal but I was like gently caress it and sat on a needle filled with mystery eastern euro hormones anyway.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.
Its probably easier to just not injure your self in the first place

like ive mentioned before in these threads, i do have a friend who is on steroids (test-e) and I've been observing how it goes for him. He hasn't hulked out or anything yet but he definitely looks a bit bigger. He hasn't mentioned any negative side effects yet apart from some acne on his back . Though I'm not sure he'd be willing to share any penis problems with me tbh

There arent any sides until you come off. Then its a lowered sex drive and increased acne for a month or 2. Idk why they were so vilified in the 90s.

Or is it just illegal in competition?

I'm in the midwest, and I'm not making any judgements. I just know nothing about the legality of them, because I've never been exposed to the steroid culture. I always assumed they were illegal but peeps in here are all casual about them, so it got me to wondering.

U.S. Barryl
Apr 16, 2003
They're illegal in the US. They're everywhere though. People are way more casual with weed in the US. Steroid users are way more secretive than weed users, I've found. Steroids have a stigma in the US that even law enforcement knows is bullshit.

I did a lift this week.

Deadlift: 445x1
Bench: 265x2
OHP: 190x1
Squat: 385x2

All PR's. Hoping to round out the year by adding another 5 pounds on top of all of those.

yeah I hit 315 in deads this weekend as a pr and also as a lifetime goal. i'm going to get it up to 5x5 (actually not that far off) but why keep increasing weight if i'm always just going to be a fatstrong who would only end up killing himself with lovely injuries? I'm already badass enough by lifting up very heavy poo poo; I don't need to be so badass I gently caress up my back and become a cripple, which I would eventually do because lol form is hard.


also I saved a 135 bench beginner from certain barbell death today because i'm just a standup kind of guy, and i couldn't help but feel like my balls were all up in his face. obviously my solo gym tendancies are showing, but why would you ever work out with a gym buddy just to get his balls in your

oh. oh i get it now.

watching this twilight world
as long as time flows.
Word of warning, if you don't have straps or hooks, get some.

As soon as I got above 300, the limiting factor became grip strength.

... I still haven't bought straps so I haven't gone above 320 5x5 (345 1 rep max. All weights approximate because I can't remember exactly. +/- 5 lbs MOE.)

Why are you doing 5x5 deadlifts. How are you alive?

Also I got these straps recently and they're really good. Just need to chalk them up if your hands get sweaty.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm also not sure how I even got above 300 lbs, that's over twice my weight. I am not a large man.

And my gym doesn't allow chalk because they're terrible people, I guess :/ But thanks, I've been meaning to look into straps.

Why didn't you just spend a tenth of that getting normal straps that don't need chalk?

That mental trickery is amazing. Sometimes you fail because you THINK you will fail. Then one day you accidentally put on too much weight, don't realize it, and lift it easily.

Being stupid is an advantage in the gym.

Those are way more comfortable. I wear 2 layers of wrist bands and regular straps still hurt my wrists. Maybe I'm a huge wuss.
