Steroids before and after

To Use or Not to Use

Although the non-therapeutic use of steroids is illegal, I guess it’s up to each individual to decide whether he wants to use them or not; and whether he wants to go through life as a bodybuilder, a natural bodybuilder or a true natural bodybuilder.

However, before making the big step, please consider the following disadvantages of being a drug user:

* Non-therapeutic use of these drugs is illegal in most countries.

* If you are a competitive athlete you are cheating and may test positive.

* You will experience side effects and may be taking serious health risks. You need to be taking additional drugs to prevent or treat the side effects of the drugs you already took.

* Drug use may be addictive. You may lose your motivation to train without them.

* You may have to spend lots of money. Some drugs are very expensive.

* You give the sport a bad image. Bodybuilding is already very strongly associated with drug use.

* You will have to lie to everybody about your drug use. Will you tell it to your girlfriend or wife? What if she finds out?

* Most women don’t like doped bodybuilders. They find a Mr.Olympia type of physique, or anything close to that, very unattractive. But homosexuals tend to love this look and find it attractive.

* You might have to buy your drugs on the black market or the internet, and end up with fake or even dangerous stuff.

* You cannot really be proud of your results as most of them exist because of the drugs, not because of good genetics, proper diet, and hard training.

* How far will you go? Which and how much drugs will you use? How much money will you spend on them? Will you stop when you get female breasts, lose your hair, get severe acne and become impotent, or will
you continue till you get serious heart disease, diabetes or even cancer?

* When you stop using the drugs, you will lose a big part of all your muscle gains.

* End of the day is it really worth all the trouble??

The Truth About Majority of Personal Trainers

Personal Trainers

Personal Trainers: Purported “trainers” trying to make up your mind for you.
Another one of my favorite pastimes; watching muscle heads convince the public
that they are qualified or have any scientific sense of what they’re talking about.
Those single-minded points of view that have mislead the people that I work hard
to help. Those arrogant points of view that highlight only a one-way train of
thought. That dogmatic approach that continues to force consumers into a full
circle and about face when it comes to achieving results or improving wellness.

I have seen trainers become trainers through the weekend and believe that one
certification and a bodybuilding title qualifies them to teach others. “TEACH”, I say
loosely. These individuals aren’t really TEACHING anything! They merely take their
clients through the gym, pick the equipment or exercise they enjoy, and ‘go to it’!
RIDICULOUS! And don’t even mention ‘continuing education’ because for some,
these two words don’t even belong in the same sentence.

The next best scenario is the bodybuilder teaching you to be ‘healthy’ when they
themselves are doped up on various types of ILLEGAL anabolic substances while in
pursuit of their illustrious $35 trophy. Isn’t this not unlike a priest that goes out
drinking all weekend and sleeping with married women?? Ask yourself: If my
trainer takes the fast, easy road to attain that which they covet, will they make that
same decision for me? How could you possibly follow the instructions, guidance,
advice, or take someone seriously that is using drugs behind closed doors? Life is
about choice, I understand that. But, your ‘trainer’ is making a very conscious
decision to use UNHEALTHY agents to pursue their own narcissistic goal. How can
that person convince you to go the tough, long road when they themselves choose
the quick easy path?? I guess I leave that one to you! (Did I mention that steroids
were ILLEGAL??)

How to Recognize a Steroid User

Juicer

Whenever I see a big muscular guy in the gym, I always ask myself the question whether he would be a true natural bodybuilder or not. Unfortunately you often cannot answer that question with 100% certainty. It is especially difficult to say, if they haven’t been using drugs for a longer period of time. However, if they are in the middle of a heavy steroid cycle, a trained eye can often clearly see it from their appearance. Usually they gain lots of muscle mass in only a few weeks. They look like if all their muscles are permanently pumped up, even when they are not lifting weights. Their muscles really jump out, look hard, full, and often vascular. Their metabolism is up to twice as high as normal (often above 5,000 calories per day).

Unfortunately there exists no test that can determine a bodybuilder’s detailed drug use in the far past, and doping test results are very easy to manipulate. Therefore, if you really want to know whether a bodybuilder is true natural, or which drugs he has been using to build his physique, you will have to ask him. The standard answer to this question is, however, always “No, I have never used any drugs”. However, if you get to know the guy better, develop some friendship, give him some complements on his physique, and especially if he thinks that you are a drug user yourself or interested in becoming one, he might well loosen up and start telling you at least part of his true story.

There are, however, two simple and quite innocent questions that can help you in many cases figure out whether a guy has ever been on steroids or not:

* Did you ever compete in bodybuilding contests or do you have plans to do so?
* What is your highest daily calorie intake when you are in good shape?

Remember, about 99% of all competitive bodybuilders use anabolic steroids, certainly the heavy guys. Also remember that a heavy anabolic steroid cycle can double the daily amount of calories burned. If you are still not sure, grab the guy’s balls. If they are the size of a peanut, you can be sure that he is on steroids. If there are no balls at all, you’re dealing with a female bodybuilder. 😉
