Want to answer an anonymous, open-ended question about AAS for my research paper?

SacToSD · Aug 4, 2009

Hi guys, I'm writing a research paper on AAS (thesis: "Beneath the hype about steroids are certain facts and anecdotal reports of their safe and effective use, much to the contrary of what's been propagated by the media."), and would like to get some anonymous opinions to include in my paper about this topic. You don't have to have your ifbb pro card to answer this, not at all... I'm looking for reports about people's experiences with AAS so that I can build support for my argument, that being the AAS can be used safely and effectively. Keep in mind that I'm not painting a one sided picture, here... rather, I'm using people's experiences as a way to show that steroids are not the boogeyman that the media portrays them to be... similar to what they did in the movie Bigger, Faster, Stronger, I suppose. So, feel free to post your experiences, opinions, and anything relevant to this topic. I will not post your name, where I received the info (as in this board), or anything linking you to my paper. You'll simply be referenced as an "anonymous person with AAS experience." I'm awarding a prize to the best answer. And that prize is a mystery until I give it out. Thanks bros,
SacToSD

trt has changed my life for the better. it gave me energy and improved my mood and physical appearance. but, i stay within physiological testosterone levels. i do get slight acne from it. it caused polycythemia even at the low doses i get. i have phlebotomy done to keep my red blood cell count in normal range. hcg is taken every other day to avoid testicular atrophy. extremely small dose of letrozole keeps estrogen down. it changed my cholesterol values for the worse but its not enough to discontinue treatment.

now for your opposite argument, this is what interests me so hopefully it will help you with your paper. i don't think doses above trt can be used safely. just look at injuries and deaths we've had on this board and others, you're kind of new but there have been a few(my join date is recent but i was lurking for a while before i joined). its sad that more people don't learn from their mistakes. i have seen a few good posts about people thinking "hey maybe this is unhealthy." and they tone it down or leave it alone all together. but usually it happens after a severe medical problem. same with smokers when they're in the hospital with COPD or lung cancer, thats when they stop smoking.

aas is not healthy over physiological doses and even at that i developed some issues. high blood pressure, polycythemia, altered clotting factors, left ventricular hypertrophy, heart attacks, infections(have you seen the video of the guy at the show with puss pouring out his delt?), muscles grow too strong and we see MANY torn muscles with training, altered cholesterol levels, and there is much more. when you're taking a drug for a reason other than treating or preventing a disease you're asking for trouble.
