Dangers and side effects? Will they save time?

Diabollokus · 14-03-2004, 07:34 PM

I'm considering body building proffessionally at some time in my life but what are the risks involved with steroids?

I have no experience or knowledge at all on this matter, except for the effect they have on woman seen some pics.

assuming that you're male, generally fit and healthy with no heart, kidney ,liver, or testosterone deficiancy- the dangers are small , BUT ONLY IF YOU RESEARCH AND PLAN AHEAD! You need to take preventive measures to stop any side effects, starting with getting an anti estrogen drug and a post cycle theraputic drug. My advice is to get these drugs BEFORE you even attempt to buy steroids of anabolic nature. I basicly found out all i know by scouring the internet and confirming what i read with the bigger guys at my gym- who are usually happy to advise.
You're in the right forum if you want info so have a little read around mate. :twisted:

Hi stan, just as a matter of curiosity, are there such things as safe steroids to coin a phrase, and the really hardcore streroids, bearing in mind that all steroids arenot "as they say" safe, but any in formation would be helpful i am going to conduct a survey and i need a starting block.

Thanks

Dave.

id have to say that no steroid, and no drug of any kind can be "safe."
Everything has its side effects and unless used properly with cause adverse reactions.
Certain prescription drugs have had extensive reasearch into usage and are dosed accordingly, and also only given for the correct and safe applications, all steroids at one time have been in this category and your gp may prescribe them and monitor usage to limit the danger of side effects.
What you have to remember is bodybuilders ABUSE steroids...
the steroids used in gyms worldwide are NOT being used for their intended purpose! All the research into these drugs is to make them safe if used in the intended manner so start using them (or any drug) for things you shouldn't then you're playing with fire.
Having said this bodybuilders all over have obviously conducted their own tests, with themselves as the guinnea pig, and if you look in the right places you'll see the same things said over and over about how to limit or avoid side effects of steroids. It is possible if you use roids correctly to not see any adverse reactions, and the minor sides that are nothing to worry about will not come as shock if you've done your reserch and know what to expect.
If an individual was to start taking steroids without knowing exactly what to do and what not to do then they will certainly get more than they bargained for reaction wise, and probably not get anywhere near the gains that someone who knows the score will see.
In conclusion, get your facts right and you can use these potentially dangerous drugs relatively safely, but go into it blind and you're your own worst enemy... the best you can hope for is to somehow avoid ****ing up and not suffer as a result, and maybe gain a bit of muscle but nothing that you can't do naturally. . . if you really cant grasp how to find this essential info on your own then see your gp, he'll instruct you on the dangers and also try to put you off but you can pick out the useful info and use it to protect yourself.

Don't touch anything till your sure mate, untill you have researched the area thoroughly! Take into account the risks, your age and size and the reason you want to do steriods in the first place before you even think about starting anything.

Good luck
