can there be any side effects for men? ive herd it can 'stunt growth' in sum areas...
well my doctor told me, shrink the testies (only while on them), make you steril (wont be able to have kids, sounds cool at 17 but at 28 and you want PimpWivGunZ JR. you wont think it was a good choice), It wont make your penis shorter, it can and will make your bones brittle(especially if you are under 18, at 18 your testosterone peaks), You could stop making test. naturally(I think), zits, crazy body hair, and you will grow boobs.(from elevated levels of estrogen(sp))
Well Chris, I'm 36 and it still sounds cool to me. In fact, it sounds like one of the best reasons yet to do a couple dozen cycles. Where can I score some?
Y'all already know where I stand on this one. The only side effect of steroids worth fearing is
prison time. And frankly, that's a good enough side effect to keep me off of them. As to all the medical horror stories, there are too many hundreds of thousands of guys who have used gear, made enviable gains on it, and suffered absolutely zero side effects for me to buy the conventional knee-jerk hysteria about the dangers of steroids.
Let me give you a parallel: Guns have a proven track record of lethality. If mishandled, most guns will render some pretty nasty side effects, not the least of which is a cozy dirt nap. But millions of people -including myself- walk into indoor gun ranges and empty two or three dozen clips into paper targets two or three times a week, with no ill effects beyond a mild, albeit transient aroma of nitrate upon the fingers. I consider myself mature, competent, and dutifully respectful around guns, and as such, I have managed a lifetime of target practice without any uncomfortable lead-induced holes in my dermis.
I consider the same to be true of steroids. Any idiot can pump himself full of gear, send his LDL cholesterol into the stratosphere, break out in acne, accelerate his hair loss, shrivel his nutz, and buy himself an express ticket to heart disease, but the risk is proportional to your recklessness and ignorance.
I climbed down off my anti-steroid soap box long ago. If you're one of the many who know how to get what you want out of roids without reaping medical misery, and you're comfortable rolling the dice on a potential felony rap, more power to ya. I wish I was that confident.
