Anabolic Steroids: How Safe and Effective?

[fiero19]

---

Mga Bai,

Mangutana unta ko kung naa na nakasulay ug gamit ug steroids diri. I just have a few questions and they are as follows:

1. Is it illegal?
2. How effective is it?
3. What are the side effects?
4. Where can I get it?

It's not nga gusto ko magpadako sa ako lawas. I just want to gain weight. Di nuon ko daot, slim lang. And no matter how I eat, di jud ko motambok. Has something to do with my rate of metabolism. Puro carbo na gud ni ako diet. I'm a vegetarian and I prefer more fruits and veggies. The only meat I eat is pork. Unya mamili pa jud ko kung gi-unsa pagluto. Same thing with fish, prito ug sugba ra jud ako ka-unon. I like pasta and cereals. Likewise, I like sweets and chocolates. Basta kay pili-an jud in terms of food.

I know steriods are used by body builders, athletes, and wannabe's. So I'm calling the attention of those people. Your inputs will be very appreciated.

Thanks... thanks... thanksÜ

I dont consider using steroids as cheating... without hard work... you wont get the gains you wanted...

if you know how to use it... then it is effective... really effective... study first dude, not just talks from people in the gym...
safe? again if you know how to use it... it is safe... long term use, still safe... side effects comes out at your later years...
addictive...

steroids... keep in your mind... its for RECOVERY... keep yourself educated first...

You are not eating enough... Thats all i can say...
i think i eat 3-5 times more calories than you do when i'm dieting... and maybe 8-10 times more when i'm bulking up...

STEROIDS WONT HELP YOU!

Steroids + Veggies = you gotta be kiddin me...

Point taken. But I think eating more than three times a day and more than you can take is gluttony. Neither would I like to suffer the long term effects of taking steroids. I have long consulted a dietitian though but the meal plan she gave has no effect on me. I guess I'll have to get another dietitian. SAY NO TO STEROIDS!!!

for your answers to your questions:
1) yes, steroids is illegal without a doctor's prescription. however, the one being sold for body building ain't for us humans, they are for horses which they claim to be more effective.

2) it is effective to some extent. it gives you strength, weight gain, fat loss and somehow keep your gains. but there are more risks you take than results.

3)side effects? plenty.
a. liver dysfunctions
b. testicular cancer
c. water and salt retention which is desirable to some degree but the tissue especially
under the eyes and the checks becomes puffy thus giving you the typical bloated
"off-seasonal full-moon steroid face".
d. feminization which gives you like the breast of a woman or breast swelling
e. acne or even cystes
f. uncontrollable aggressive behavior and deep voice.

4.well you can get it at most gyms particularly where there a lot of people in that gym who are into bodybuilding especially low-end gyms. you can also get it at veterinary shops.

MY ADVICE?

JUST DON'T. though i admit i was tempted to use it because i was underweight which causes me some problems with my self-confidence, i realized it is just not worth it. with this knowledge, i just stick with supplements in the market and i took a lot of them though eating up my school allowance. there it even goes, i was in the doctor's clinic after a year because i find it hard to urinate. i have a few tests and it was all normal. my doctor even said i may have an STD which is a little bit embarrassing, after another visit with another test result my doctor find the culprit? my creatinine level was too high. the cause? my simple creatine supplement.

so guys careful ha. even supplements have side effects, how much more steroids. i end up spending thousands just to correct it. imagine to pay 400 pesos for each tablet.

but well my doctor was kind enough to give me options. she gave me prescriptions to have an alternate to all those supplements i took. my doctor even said that there is an alternative to steroids called moriamin (injectable). well, you can take this if you wanted to but please consult your doctor to guide you through the process. as for me, oral supplements lang ko kutob. this is just a friendly advice.

LESSON LEARNED?

consult your doctor. it may be expensive in the short term but it's cheap in the long run. what are doctor's consultation fees compare to expensive medicines for cure.

having a body for simply aesthetics is pleasure but having a body together with health reasons is real pleasure.

Thanks bro... complete and detailed. Many things learned.

[peterli]

a lot of people get hooked on that.
because you always want to get bigger.
to maintan it you have to keep on taking it.

AYAW LAGI ANI MAALA ANG IMO
