Re: ANABOLICS
I played around with anabolics for several years. I ended up stopping when I started having some health issues.
Now the question is are the health issues related to the use of the anabolics or something else?
I am permanently on TRT. I tried restarts and they didn't work. I also am on thyroid medicine. I also am on and rotate between low dosed prednisone and adrenal extracts for lack of adrenal hormones. Also I am on DHEA and stay on it.
When I used anabolics I never went super high dosages. I ran anti-es, PCT, and cycles were usually once a year for 8-16 weeks prior to going to the beach for that year.
I have no idea if my endocrine health issues are a cause of the anabolics or something else.
I also messed around with DNP and do regret that. How can putting something that toxic in your body and something that affects the mitochondria not possibly have long term side effects.\
I also played around with ephedrine and clen a fair amount. Ran ephedrine throughout college when I would work on leaning up. Stimulants are horrible for your adrenals and wonder if this contributed to my adrenal issues of today. Again I always took it properly and cycled on and off.
At the same time I know buddies who have done cycles and to this day have little to no side effects from them, so it is hard to say.

Re: ANABOLICS
no regrets, but i get a little worried about potential health implications. i used to be a drug addict/alcoholic so just grateful that i got clean and sober. lifting gave me an outlet when i was early in my recovery. if not for that, i probably would not have stayed clean/sober. at my age, it kinda made sense to start down the road with anabolics. i was 37 when i started, almost 40 now. i am still a n00b, and sometimes i think about giving them up and training natty, but i'm not sure i'm ready for that.Leave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
I don't regret it because if it wasn't for the gym and the intro to AAS , I would prob still be drinking everyday and who knows what else !!!
I had a bad habit , like most of partying too much and just disregarding health and people around me .
I was always that dude that said working out was stupid and that I didn't care about it . But I quickly changed my mind after I found that I enjoyed working out and how my body transformed frm super skinny to an actual look that I like .Leave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
I've contemplated this many times, I waited to get I to AAS until I was 23. I had been training for ten years natural and believed I had hit my plateau. So in that regards no regrets.
No professionally it has caused me some issues that I don't necessarily regret but it cussed issues that wouldn't have been there had I chose not too...
Decade removed and no issues, no health issues, strong as an ox, look good fell goodLeave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
Starting at 21 was a little early, but outside of that I think they have enabled a much healthier side of myself and for the most part have been a positive.Leave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
I don't regret using them but I wish I would have A. Waited longer B. Stayed on lower dosages for longer and C. Got them from a reputable source when I very first started. Otherwise no I don't, I would have just changed some things around. But I can use my experience and bad choices to help other ppl.Leave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
Sometimes I think of just being natural until I need trt. I just hate takeing medicines so much because of all them I had to take when I was hurt.
But, honestly theres no way my body could have recovered this fast without them.Leave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
I cant give my personal feedback on this because I have never, and probably wont ever, use them. I do wish sometimes that Fuzo would have never used them though. He didn't even think of trying them till after the age of 30. He always trained and looked great anyway so he had no interest and looked liked he was on them regardless,lol. I of course wasn't thrilled with the idea, but after learning more about them, I am not against them. I think in ways they have definitely helped him especially after all the surgeries he has had but then part of me feels some things would not be as they are if he hadn't used them.
I don't think he has regrets at all and I have learned It is who he is and I accept that.Leave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
very very interesting question! I have SOME regrets but they deal with partaking at the age of 15 and using compounds that I had no business taking...Not taking PCT at times, etc etc...In other words, I regret the lack of education...
However, I have no regrets about enhancing my physical appearance when done properly if that makes sense....I learned more on this forum over the past 2 years than any other time in my life...
So it is kind of a double-edged sword lol...
And I too have a history of opioid and alcohol abuse...THOSE I tend to regret at times but I know I wouldn't be successful today without that path as weird as that may sound...I love being sober believe it or not!Leave a comment:

Re: ANABOLICS
Not for a second. They have nothing but help me improve. I'm a recovering fatty. After loosing so much fat, AAS has continued to help my body improve and grow stronger. Like MM said it has led me here and I have gained some great friends in this community. So nope... Don't regret it a bit.Leave a comment:
