I am curious as to the thought process that went into the decision to take gear. I am sure most of you thought about it long and hard. Possibly arguing with yourself back and forth on whether to take or not. How much research did you do? How did you deal with the side affects/possible side affects? How did you develop your cycle? What did you take?

Don't take the questions wrong...I am genuinely interested. I am not judging or condemning. I think I know at most maybe two women in my area (Southeast Detroit), who are on. At least in the two gyms I go to. (Powerhouse and Golds).

I train at Taylor Powerhouse (because that is where my trainer trains out of) and Livonia Gold's. Livonia Gold's has great equipment, extremely clean...and absolutely ZERO intensity (besides myself that is!)

I bet there are a lot more that are "on" than you think. But, for me, I have to admit that it began with a juicer for a fiance Its really sad how many women dont take care of their bodies until they have the influence of a man. Just my .02...anyway, I researched a lot to dicide if and how I would start steriods. I finally broke down after giving birth to my daughter 6 months ago. I just couldnt loose the weight and all my muscle tone was gone. I looked like shit and had hit a plateau in training. I did half a cycle of winny, 3X 1cc 50 mg. I stopped because my workouts were few and far between with the baby and starting a new job. Then, I looked in the mirror and saw that I still wasn't ahppy with myself and started busting my ass. Now, I feel Ive reached that plateau again where I just need a little kick to help me over it, so I started a cycle of primo. Only been 2 days, so no results yet of course, but Ill keep you up to date. As far as the sides, Im not worried. If I start to see any, Ill just cut back or off totally.
Now that you have my life story ...hope it helps
