after reading responses and the amazing amount of SPAM (who is to blame for that? amazing this site is so infested) anyway, i would NOT touch a steroid if i could do it all over again.
i would just like to live and die as a normal man as god intended me to be.
and.......
my other side says, HRT is the shit and thank god for it! (but i can only say that cuz i know what its like with it and with out it, my father who has never used AAS has no interest and no need cuz he is obliious to the benefits it has, and the negatives.... he is better off to not know. ignorance is bliss)
basically this thread asks me the question: "if you could do it all over again would you rather live longer and be thin or live shorter and be big?"
that is alsmost litterally what you are asking.
i would be lean.
get same amount of pussy and live longer and watch my kids grow. the way it is now, i wonder how many years did i shave off my life for these fucking stupid big biceps that my daughters dont give a damn about...
its called the darkside for a reason.
makes all of us compromise our belifes or integrity or health....

Good post as usual JS.
Having never done AAS when I was younger, testosterone was an unexpected gift
in my later years so I can only speak from an HRT prospective . . . if I were to do it
over again, I would work harder at getting the most benefit from the least amount
and strive for ALL blood work would be in the “normal” range (be that high or low
normal), nothing out of range.
All you need is a slight boost to get you above where you were, and you will feel, see,
and experience the true benefit without the risks associated with long term, higher
dosage and side effects that will manifest themselves given enough time. And if you
live long enough, you will unless you are some sort of genetic freak. And they are few
and far between; about as rare as saber tooth tigers in New York City.
And this is where the rub come in. Try and diagnose a serious health issue when you
have this huge variable (AAS using or usage) dangling over your head like a Damascus
sword, brought about by a wide and many times truly unknown substances (if you
get them “illegally”. Under dosed, over dosed, mixed with God knows what. And
even if the source is legit, verifiable, good luck is all I can say. Long term usage, out
of range numbers are Russian Roulette in my book with another chamber or two
loaded.
It’s like running if I may use that as an example. You keep increasing the mileage
because you like the feeling, the accomplishment, the health benefit, and as long
as you are not coming up injured, that cycle continues. But eventually, sooner or later,
it usually catches up with you. At least with a running injury, the fix is usually easily to
diagnose and implement, and usually involves reducing the mileage (among other
things) to use a simple, often recommended example. I don’t think it’s that easy in
all cases with long term, perhaps even short term, high dosage AAS. Some damage
may not become apparent until years down the road when you have fewer and
fewer options available towards a favorable outcome.
Your health comes first.
