Would you bestow the same criticism on the sky diving thread or the horse riding thread?

Both are risky activities. Every hobby involves risk.

You don't want to know my criticism of horse havers

If you think about it, the most dangerous thing those wannabe professional baseball players are doing is getting in a car to drive to the gym for their steroid use. We all know the dangers of driving a car but no one calls them out on that. Why the hypocrisy?????

The funny thing is that there is a very small portion of the population who is going to gently caress you simply based on if you're jacked to all hell, steroid guys. Almost no women give a poo poo if you're all steroid muscley past the age of 19. Like, if your shoulders can fill out a shirt, you can make them laugh, have a reasonable job, and don't have a completely filthy apartment/home you will get laid. By a fair amount of women you are surprised by.

Something like 14% of American adults do any physical exercise so you're already blowing most of the population out of the water just by going to the gym.

FYI if you have time to clean one room clean the bathroom, if you have time to clean one thing clean the toilet.

the more I read of the steroids thread the more I'm convinced that neither the benzos thread nor the RC thread comes close to matching the absurd poo poo people are putting into their bodies right now

Some compounds, like Deca, can give you limp-dick as a side effect. Also, Cialis has a small positive effect on BP.

I mean, some of the rest is part of harm reduction. A big part of why steroids are much more popular now is because a lot more is known about them, to include mitigating side effects. A cursory glance at an image & a brief Google search isn't gonna be the be-all-end-all to your conclusion.

Y'all are more than welcome to post in that thread with your legitimate concerns.

I'll admit I'm curious to hear a half-dozen people justifying a cocktail of 4 boner pills and 2 pills designed for sick women to counteract the effects of destroying your body's ability to tell what gender it is for an extra 10 pounds on your deadlift or whatever

Eh gently caress it, it's less harmful than being really into pepes and r/the_donald.

Friend-o, we welcome valid outside concerns, criticisms, and information. But no one in that thread has talked about lungs filling up with fluid or prostate meds.

That's only because they use different words or nicknames like test flu or a-ands or whatever. Here's a direct quote from the thread OP, which you wrote: "If prostate enlargement occurs, you should discontinue all steroid use immediately and consider the use of the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor Finasteride; six months of Finasteride therapy has been shown to significantly reduce prostate enlargement."

quote:

Hair loss isn't a given, neither is gyno.

It may not be a given because the prostate med helps stop the hair loss caused by the testosterone injections and you add another hormone to stop the breast growth caused by the prostate med. You can take steroids to deal with the side effects of the other steroids your atomic roid-slam cocktail is 5 or 6 deep. And that is considered normal.

quote:

If you're gonna complain, at least do it honestly.

I wanted to post direct quotes I found alarming but after a few pages I just had too many and quit trying. Like, the one about dealing with steroid-hosed-up blood and blood pressure by donating blood or just, like, bleeding it out. But that page alone has about a half-dozen posts just as quotable. Honestly, it makes me sad to see the sort of body dysmorphia where someone says "check out my progress" and in their Before picture they look totally fine but in their After picture they look they're 10 years older and having an allergic reaction. I believe you when you say you don't see any of this, because I think you're on the inside looking out.

I know we joke about about how often posters there miss the warning signs that are obvious to everyone else, but god drat how the gently caress is ""gotta let off some of this excess blood" not the loving exit for you?

Snow Cone Capone: Jul 31, 2003

Can someone explain what the ultimate goal of this poo poo is? Like I highly doubt anybody in that thread is plateauing at 300lb bench press and needs that extra boost. Are there really people delusional enough to believe that steroids can replace actual exercise, or barring that, to believe that they're at the highest tier of bodybuilding where the only possible way forward is by literally making your body freak the gently caress out and not be able to understand what hormones it should be producing?
