Another terrifying tale

[mb2]

Today, the Guardian, published in the UK, ran a lengthy essay about the author's experiment with steroids as part of his research for a book.

It is the usual litany of terrible side effects and loss of gains within days of his cycle's end.

I would really be curious to hear people's reaction to it.

The paragraph stating he woke up with a caveman looking eyebrow to funny .

I couldnt even finish it all,, that is "the guy" I want to beat to a bloody pulp of flesh... just about everything he said was a joke, sad, but folks will read him and believe him when 90% of what he called horrer stories were because he was stupid and ill informed to begin with...

 

[mb2]

LOL...The caveman business is what made me think he was making shit up. His brow is enlarged by 500 mg of test and 400 mg of EQ weekly after a month??

 

[bblazer]

That article is actually old. It first appeared some months ago in Esquire, or Best Life or a similar magazine.

B-

Gaurdian in 3, 2, 1...

He said lost 13 pounds over night and his DB press dropped 15 lbs a hand over night. That is complete horseshit. A total lie. That would never happen. If he loast 13 pounds over night, that means he would have had to piss nearly 2 full gallons of water due to retention.

Even then, who gives a crap. His before and after pics show the real results. Bodybuilding is for cosmetics.

Posts like that are both informative and bothersome. While some of his comments are true... most were bullshit. Maybe it's good to read this kind of "swill" to remind ourselves that there IS an inherently right and wrong way to do EVERYTHING....steroids being no exception.
Knowledge is power!
Fortunately we have that knowledge available here at EF.

My own perceived bulge wasn't altogether solid, sort of mushy, but as I smoothed my fingers across my forehead I had this terrifying sense that my bone structure had been somehow altered.

bone structure changing??? what a fuckin load of hilarious horse shit!!!!!! but by looking at the pics, there is no way in hell that guy weighed 245lbs. in that picture on the right...maybe 210 tops...but that was by far some of the most rediculous shit i've ever read in my life in regards to AAS...

What do you expect from the Guardian UK? That loony rag is about as objective and truthful as the National Enquirer.

[mr.nitro]

[bluetoolpaul]

If any of you make it all the way through (like I somehow did) remember, NEVER take creatine!!!

I'm now 15 i.q. points lower after reading that article. I still don't know where he was hiding 240 pds on his 'after' body.

 

[sugashane]

He actually does the Geico commercals as a caveman, side effects from the one cycle. What a jackass.

+1!! this guys a complete idiot! There is now wayyy anyone can drop 15lb a hand on his db over nice unless they woke up with only half an arm!

This article is the most ridiculous piece of shit i have read in months, it manifests itself to completly disuade people from ussing AAS, come on do you think the guardian would have puiblished this if the last sentence had been ' It was the best weeks in my life, i can't wait till i have completed my off time so i can reorder and get back on again'

I mean come on guys!!

Btw cheers for all the help i have had from everyone here, 6 weeks into my first cycle, put on 12 lbs!


Just my views

I think this sums it up----->Craig Davidson, a Canadian novelist. He writes fiction for a living. How do you get every possible side effect known to man?

I bet my left nut this fucker is still juicing...

I think you have your newspapers a bit confused.

The Guardian, as well as The Observer, The Telegraph and The Times are the better newspapers in the UK.

The exerpt was published in the lifestyles section as a book review, not an article written directly by one of the contributing writers or editors.

Stewoids is scawy. Wow, this guy had 99 problems and bitch tits was one!

What a crock

 

[tomw]

Looking at the before picture iwouldent think he had ever lifted (as he claimed ) hell my grand mother is buffer than that pic.

They are scary in the hands of morons.

Look at this writer, case and point

I just read the entire thing.

Look at his before and after pics. The after one doesn't even look as good as half of the nattie BBers I know.

There is no way this lad knew anything about training and diet before he started to abuse steroids and other performance enhancing drugs, and I do mean abuse.

His first cycle and nearly 1 g/test/week.

Moron.

Just an observation noone has made. Funnily enough it is acceptable to take steroids and let everyone know you are because you are trying to write a book about how bad they are. I bet he got all the support in the world, people interested in how they were effected by them, etc. Then in the end they got what they have been told since day one, all the bad and lies. Steroids are like any situation in the world, there are positive and negative aspects you look at both sides and weigh out if it is something for you or not. This also goes back to the principle of education, generally when you are a young kid you have very little experience in the world and anything you dont understand you generally fear. The one main reason that really fired me up about steroids though is the US government getting involved with all the sport scandle things, i really can't understand how they can get involved in private business and bring it up to the government level and waste tax payer money.
