Roid risks!?!

[Blackfoot]

Allright here goes... I have taken great pride in being all natural but after reading about some of your results. It makes me think. Anyway, my question is are they really worth all of the risks (cops, liver function, bp, etc.... this list seem to go on and on)? Also, are you bros monitored by a physician or do yall just deal with the sides and hope to hell everything will be alright? Peace.

Well this question is almost taboo brother. It depends on a lot of variables. Are they worth the legal battles? Thats your personal quest. Health? Once again, its all on you. To me, yes they are. Would have juiced as much and as soon as I did if I had it to do over? Probably not. Its a delicate yet very serious decision. Im not under the eye of a physician althought I get bloodwork done after every major cycle, and everyone should in my opinion. If you've researched enough, you're old enough, you feel (honestly to yourself) you've fully grown, you know how to train and have your nutrition down pat and you have a legit source, go for it, if just 1 of these key items are missing, dont consider it.

There are risks in everything one does in life, it could end at any given time and that has nothing to do with juice. You could get hit by a bus, have a stroke, get shot, etc., see where I'm going.

By becoming very well educated about what we do, before we do them, doing them in moderation & as safely as possible, this really reduces the possibility of serious side effects.

I personally get blood work done at least twice a year, and I always encourage others to do the same. That will tell of any problems developing before they get out of hand and allow for preventative measures to be taken.

I also have a blood pressure machine, just to keep an eye on things while cycling.

To me atleast, it is a lifestyle I wouldn't change if given the chance to start over.

Personally, I don't see much risk involved. But, of course, education and planning are very important to avoid any risk.

Thanks for the responses and advice, it's appreciated. One more question: I have been reading that Primobolan is considered the safest injectable and is considered a decent choice for rookies. Thoughts?

[Disposable_Hero]

Primo is the safest injectable in my opinion..but its also the most expensive.

Cops, and possible blood pressure are your biggest fears IMO. Most of the stories you would hear are BS, as are most of the side effects, because they can either be avoided or they dont happen unless you abuse the stuff.

I too avoided really even thinking about it years ago, but after studying about the stuff for about a year I am a firm believer that there is such a thing as safe useage, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If you know what your doing, you will be fine.

Test is test, chemically speaking its no different either shot in your ass or the naturally flowing test in your body, its the same thing.

Worried about reaction by my own body, and at my workplace, kept my first cycle to 250mg sustanon per week, a very mild cycle to "break myself in" so to speak. I wish I had went with more, but probably like yourself you are slightly nervous and dont want to make a mistake, or react poorly or whatever. With such low doses ***** tits wasn't going to happen.

Hair loss and acne are my only worries.

[Small]

Primo is definately the safest injectable, but it's very expensive and it's very hard to find legit one, too many fakes, and good ones.

[Mudge]

Acne is not a huge risk IMO, but it can happen yes. DBol gave me that, test I'd say didn't really bother me in that way.

If you have male pattern baldness in the family then you do run risk of faster hair loss, if it doesn't run in the family then dont worry about it.

Primo also doesn't give the 'best' gains, so its kind of a waste IMO unless your a woman, they seem to do quite well with it.

[BIG_GUNS_21]

when you plan a good cycle, and know the proper ways to counter the sides, the risk, physically is pretty minimal. The risk legally depens more on where you live, and what they durg of choise to crack down on at the time is.

Personally, I take all the supps for liver and kidneys, I get my BP checked VERY regularly, and I get blood work done a few times throughout the cycle. that imo, is about as safe as you can be.

[Blackfoot]

Thanks again for the great responses. BTW, the info on Primo is a big help. I wouldn't have known that. I've read the same about d-bol though. I bought a book called "The Steroid Bible" about a year ago and the author said that a lot of d-bol on the market was fake. I don't mind paying a fair price for a good product but I'm not into wasting my cash. Supps for liver would be milk thistle, right? What about the kidneys? And, when you bros get blood work done, do you tell your physician what you are taking? I know I ask a lot of questions but a lot of this stuff isn't in books. Peace.

haha, my saying is "if i die, at least ill die looking good"

but in all seriousness, riskz are ever-present. when you drive, you are taking a risk, alcohol is taking a risk, hell, gettin up in the morning can be risky. but you have to look at the benefits. before i started training, i was putting every other illegal substance possible in my body. i started training, and i cut them down. i started competing and using gear, and now i dont do anything else. i go to my doc for regular checkups, i monitor my blood pressure, and it keepz me in check. so for me, the benefits outweight the negatives
