Here's the real reason why Steroids get negative attention

[BrooklynBB]

A post from a certain dot com with bodybuilding in thier title:

"I have an update..I did 210 on flat bench for 5 reps. My 1rep max has been 205 for a while now(Havent done bench max for since the beginning of the cycle).. After the workout my triceps have never been this pumped looking before, never."

Now what does this guy take for such an impressive one rep max?

"Week 1-10 - 600mg a week of Testosterone Enanthate
Week 13-16- Nolvadex/Clomid"

And what's his stats?

"Height-5'5
Weight 120lbs"

And what of his age and goals?

"No one say anything ive been doing my research for a year now. I know what exactly what im doing wrong/correct with my body. I have my reasons for doing this cycle. My goal is 180-190lbs 4-5%bf and obviously thats going to take a LOOONG time for that if ever naturally. I dont want to wait untill im 35 to achieve what I could at 24. Like I said this is my descision, and if you descide to support me or not, thats your choice."

Holy shit he's researched for AN ENTIRE YEAR!!!!! He's DEFINITELY READY FOR A CYCLE!!!

I mean, 180 pounds at 4% bodyfat, well, that's not not like the size of a competive amateur, right? I mean, every person in the gym who has definition MUST BE 4 - 5% bodyfat and hold that type of condition indefinitely, right? I mean, the guy knows his shit after ONE FULL YEAR of research.

And remember, if you "descide" to support him or not, that's your choice. Because if he didn't remind you that your choices were your own, who would?

Thank you, ASSHOLE, for being the poster child for Bush, the FDA, and every other ignorant association that declares taking steroids for personal enhancement illicit.

I don't feel like posting a link because I don't wish to start a war with the alleged bodybuilding site, but you can do a search if you like and read through the thread of "experts" yourself. I can guarantee this is what the media feasts on when building thier case against the "evils" of steroid use.

damn, i thought it was just my precontest irritability but these posts seem to be popping up all oveer the place...

it is funny when you hear something like this, my first instinct is to offer additional guidence to these folks, but they wont have any of it, i mean shit they have reseearched for a whole year!( in reality they looked at steroid profiles site 2 times, the rest of the year was spent waiting untill there parents went out of town so they wouldnt find their "package" when it was delivered)...

these are also the morons that will be taking the gh15 cycle on getbig to become a "pro".... after all, from what i understand its all about eh drugs!

BB,

Out-fuckin-standing!! Well said, and I couldn't agree more!

I do not agree with you in the literal sense of "the reason for steroids image in the media...".I am taking the literal meaning as the media portrays that you take roids in 6 weeks or so youre a huge agro monster with mudering tendancies and can run 100m in 10 seconds etc.Hence people want to take steroids because the results are so good so fast and easily.The media created the lies.The media should cover more of these true stories as the truth may be the best deterant.Although sadly I bet if the media covered this guy no-one would believe he was really on gear.

The media would not use this in a positive way. They would simply say, "See, kids are using it to bench press, therefore BENCH PRESSING is the real evil since if there weren't a bench press then there wouldn't be a need to lift more or get a bigger chest, so we MUST BAN ALL GYMS". Don't think they wouldn't use that reasoning, because it's already happening in gyms cutting the balls off of men across the nation with thier no grunting policy.

Anyway, I didn't say media, I said "Negative Attention" which includes our National leaders in the White House, the guy on the street who looks at a guy with muscles funny, the skinny guy in the gym who says "that guy with the biceps, he's on something", the mother who tells her kid that steroids are the devil's tool, etc. Negative attention in general, and it's guys like this who use them to get thier bench press to 210 at a bodyweight of two feathers who thinks a year of internet research is going to get him a masterful physique in a year.

Nobody wants to train anymore it seems. They just want to pop the pill, do a few curls and pray for the best while neglecting diet, rest and a real approach in the gym.

Side Note: All gyms I've gone to recently (the last 2 years) have suffered from this incessant TALKING disease. I don't mind training talk, but this bullshitting about nothing relating to lifting weights or talking on the cell phone while doing a one armed row, or just generally not giving a shit they're PAYING money to gain access to the equipment... These are the morons who give gyms the bad name, not my monkey ass for lifting all that weight and having a halfway decent physique (lol).
