1) I just can not understand why all you steroid users want to risk your health.
2)Do you really want your kids to be born with a handicap ??
3)Why not train your body on a (more) natural basis ?
4)a. Taking steroids and other shit makes you aggressive, b. damages your health, c. and all you get is a fake body.
5)But hey, I think that's all what America is about ??
6)Just give it a thought !
I'll try to answer these questions, however I doubt you will listen. You would be surprised at how educated many of the posters on these boards are, almost as surprised at how steroids can be done with little risk to long term health as evidenced by men who have used for years and years such as Arnold.
I took the liberty of numbering your responses since they were givin in kind of a shotgun type of way.
Anyways, the answers:
1 The risk to health is minimal and is comparable to taking nsaid's...well, to be more correct, nsaid's are more dangerous than steroids. Nsaid's are things such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, etc.
2 What kind of scare tactic is this? After decade upon decade of steroid use and many children being conceived while the father was on cycle has not resulted in one child being born with a handicap in any way remotely having to do with steroids. Where did you get this crazy idea or did you just come up with it on your own because of all the bad things you hear about it from a reporter?
3 Most here have trained their body naturally to the point that they can go no further. If you foolishly believe that all steroids can do is help you get to where you are going faster, again, you are mistaken. They can allow you to become stronger and more muscular than you would ever naturally be able to accomplish. Once you hit that wall, if you want to go farther, the only answer is steroids or something along that vein, such as insulin or growth hormone.
4a. Possibly. However there has been studies done on 'roidrage' using testosterone only, and the results showed that there was no evidence of roidrage or any other emotional problem. However, there are certain types of steroids that imo can contribute to aggression, but you still have a brain, they don't make you act like a rabid dog lashing out at the world. If anything it would be likened to a girl with PMS. and
4b. It can damage your health, but again, not even as much as aspirin can.
4c., how is it a fake body? Because it looks better than yours? Because they can bench over 150 pounds and you cannot? A fake body is something like implants, which you can get fake pec implants and calf implants, etc., and I would agree those are fake...and guess what, there are more problems associated with those fake parts than there are with steroids. I get the impression you mistakenly believe that all you have to do is take steroids and you will immediately 'hulk-out'. I wish, unfortunately, I have to do things like workout on a regular basis, continuously pushing myself farther and lifting more weight when it would be so much easier to just go eat a donut and watch Oprah rail against the ravages of steroids while patting my belly and feeling sad for all those chumps actually improving themselves and their bodies. And it doesn't stop at the gym, because after you have gained so much muscle, if your diet isn't spot on, you will have a hell of a time gaining anything regardless of what steroids you take or if you work out. And the payoff is something you get on a daily basis with a very real body that puts 95% of the u.s. population to shame as well as building a very tough mentality to succeed that very often carries over into other things in your life.
5 America is about what you want it to be about. If you think coming into a place and spouting half-truths and full on lies about something and believing you are actually helping somebody is what america is about, then for you it is. Unfortunately, you will have more luck at a PTA meeting where nobody can refute what you say because they don't know anything. Here we know what we talk about and share that info and knowledge with others...also, it takes more than just words, we demand proof, actual medical studies, etc. But you seem more comfortable having Channel 24 news do all your thinking for you on this subject and you actually believe some of the horror stories such as lyle alzado claiming if it weren't for steroids, he wouldn't have wasted away. Funny that he had aids and died of a brain disease that nobody gets unless they have aids. Because I doubt you will be able to connect the dots on that one, you cannot get aids from steroids.
6 I've given it years, what thoughts have you given it? Or do you think the FDA has your best interests at heart?
