Do...do you know how steroids work? It's not some magic pixie dust you sprinkle over your ice cream to make you buff. At the bare minimum we're talking about 3-4 various substances to enhance muscle building and fat burning, and to counteract negative side effects , and these need to be taken either as pills (which is unwise, partially because they are less effective , and damage liver) or injections. It cannot be taken in a loving smoothie.

I'm friends with guys that did the bodybuilding circuit and, yeah, a lot of the conceptions of how steroids work and act by the public is...weird. Even the meaness and ball shrinkage are not universal. And they mostly just mean "your muscles heal faster so you can work out more." While I'd have to wait a day or two to work on bicepts again due to having to wait for them to heal from the last time I worked on them, depending on the roids, a friend could work on them the next day.

Problem is that alot of the publics knowledge of steroids spring from anti-drug PSA's that where insanely hyperbolic. In addition to that, there's a big difference to how people abused steroids in the 80s-90's compared to today. Back then, most people didn't really have a readily available source of knowledge (internet) and just winged it, with predictably disastrous consequences. These days anyone can look up recommended dosages, what stuff goes well together, what you should avoid, and what you should take/do to avoid side effects (including gyno and ball shrinkage).

Cage posted:What if you crush up the pills and throw them in a smoothie? It's been a while since my pharmacology classes but if i recall, some pills are designed to dissolve in acid, others have a protective film that protects it until it passes the gastric acid and dissolves in the intestines, where it will dissolve into the bloodstream and then pass the liver, where a significant portion will be cleared out by the liver. I would assume that the steroids would be rendered inert by the stomach acid if you blended it into a smoothie. This is why injection is better than pills, because it skips that first pass to the liver, allowing more of the substance to affect the muscles.

McCloud posted:Do...do you know how steroids work? OTOH maybe "I accidentally took a banned substance in a nutritional supplement and it's my coach's fault" is just an excuse athletes use. bring back old gbs posted:Probably not but nobody cares when actors do it. so every actor gets super jacked all the time like its no big deal. RDJ did like 15 years of straight drugs then turns around and gets pretty jacked for iron man. Chris Evans crazy synthol pecs in the first Captain America. Hugh Jackman is like 50 and still a huge jacked man. Chris Pratt bla bla. Just lmao if you don't think Ben Affleck is on something. I will hear no ill spoken of Ryan Reynolds but suffice to say every single other actor has some sort of training assistance. Burkion posted:Arnold really gave the game away years ago when he revealed that yeah, of course they all did enhancement stuff to keep in shape. I know a film professor who goes to Sundance every year. He says the men all look terrible because they let themselves go when they're not filming, but the women stay in shape all the time because of double standards and not being able to hide it under a suit. quote:Breasts are the same way.

Can you imagine what you could get done when literally your multi-million dollar full-time job is to get as fit as possible with a functionally unlimited budget and several people who are dedicated to getting you there, planning everything out, and taking care of everything other than actually doing the work? I am sure there's often some "medical assistance" but ffs, you're getting $$$$$$$$$ to get in shape and go to the gym twice a day and eat what you're told.

Darko posted:And they mostly just mean "your muscles heal faster so you can work out more." Well, sometimes. An untrained person taking steroids and not working out will gain more muscle than a an untrained person working out and not taking steroids. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199607043350101 But when we talk about "steroids" we're talking about a bunch of potential different things. All you need to know is that some of these actors are dosing but not as many and not as much as you might think, because they have nutritionists and trainers and programs and all that good stuff, and also all of the real "look at my bod" scenes are done over a small timetable, they aren't walking around like that normally.

Yeah, starvation and especially forced dehydration is the secret to every shot of an actors abs you've ever seen. You can even try it at home from the comfort of your living room if you're in good shape.

I think part of it is that people don't want to believe that it's even possible to look like that, to tune your human machine to such a tolerance, without drugs. Well, you can - but you literally have to have no day job, good genetics, be under 40, have the best trainers and chefs and nutritionists in the world, as be given millions in cash incentives. In other words, down here in the realm of Mere Mortals, you need 'roids. They don't...necessarily. BTW if I seem a bit strident it's because my brother did natural bodybuilding and got accused of roids even though he didn't....he looked 90% like these guys. And do you know how he did it? He worked as a bartender for 20 hours a week, never drank, and did 2 workouts a day for about 3 hours. He made his own food and did his own nutrition. I'm sure if he had a staff he could have gone over the top and gotten that last 10%. P.S.: he eventually broke down and did steroids. Now I have more hair than him even though I'm older. LOL

You can look better than the lesser Chris or Blade 3 Reynolds with just a couple of hours in the gym (or even at home with minimal equipment) 2~4 times a week and a reasonable diet. You can even eat the occasional pizza and beer! Cavill and co. are pretty massive so that would require more effort, but still achievable if you're motivated. Please workout, goons.
