Honestly to do or not to do steroids is something that has a million different answers that should be considered age, health, mental stability, physical fitness level, determination, research, ect... Honestly though me personally what made me realize I want to continue down the path of taking them after stopping for a year and a half was that I was really loosing my ability to stay motivated when I knew the best shape I could attain naturally was not even close to where I wanted to be. I got complements all the time because I was in great shape but even those compliments made my anger grow as I would just think of physiques like Nassar, and jay cutler , and phill heat ect... And realize that these people complimenting me had no idea what was lurking around on the pro stages and top NPC stages.
I can totally relate to this.
I started getting compliments really early on, like only 225lbs squat or 10% bodyfat. The average person has extremely low standards, it's really sad to think that most people won't accomplish what many 13-year-olds can.
Throw in a bit of natural vascularity and I already had several people accusing me of juicing in my 2nd year of serious lifting, it's pathetic.
