I used various steroids for several years, back in my wild youth, along with several of my friends. Ah, ‘The Juice’. ‘Training with Vigor’. ‘On the Sauce’. Et Cetera.
-Your son should not do it.
-Some people experience nasty acne breakouts. And I mean nasty. I was lucky, but there was this kid at the gym who broke out so bad on his back that his shirt ‘soaked’ through. Utterly disgusting.
-All steroids are bad for you, in the long-run, but orals are hell on your liver, and do wicked things to your cholesterol levels.
-Hope your son doesn’t mind needles. 22 gauge, 2 inch needles, 3-5 times per week. And I need not even mention the abosolute neccesity of using only new, sterile needles?
-Again, I lucked out, but many who inject steroids for a while develop subdermal abscesses. Oh ya, and man-boobs.
-A proper ‘stack’ must be planned out, and used over a timed ‘cycle’. I won’t give details here, but depending on what you have, and what you wish to accomplish, you need to plan out the usage.
-Roid rage is BS, from my observations. I am a laid-back guy, and never ‘flipped out’ while on. A buddy of mine was a spaz from day one, and continued to be a spaz when on.
-He will have to worry about getting popped by the cops, and given the amounts of steroids that you need on hand to ‘properly’ use them, if you do get popped, it will most likely be with an ‘intention to distribute’.
-His testicles will shrink while using. (They revert to normal, but come on now, shrunken testicles?)
It’s hard to convince the young bucks that it’s not worth it. As has been said, they do work. You’ll get so big, so fast, that stretch marks become a serious issue. Not to mention joint damage, but hey…
With hard work and a good diet (so important, yet so often overlooked), I am in plenty good form. As a bonus, I am not putting bovine and equine veterinarinary product in me, several times a week. Not to mention the $1,000-$1,500 for a proper ‘big stack’ a couple of times per year that I am saving. (Mid-90’s prices)
I got out of it fairly scot-free. The Governator of California did not, and has had several serious operations to deal with problems from his using days. (To be fair, he also used growth hormones, which are orders of magnitude worse for you than 'roids.)
