Are steroids an addiction or cheating ??

Alot of "naturals" I know hate on juice heads, eventhough I know they'd juice if they had a source.

Steroids themselves aren't an addiction, nor do I think they're "cheating" in most high-level sports, not anymore. No one these days plays without some form of enhancement, legal or otherwise. To be sucessful at the top echelon of almost any sport, you do what it takes to keep up. As far as addiction... they aren't physically addictive in and of themselves. However, people can certainly become psychologically addicted to the pumps, the size gains, the strength, how they look, etc. That's why some guys start off with a 10 week cycle and end up staying on for 2 years. Do I think they're addictive? No. Do I think they can still be abused? Hell yes.

I AGREE 100%!!

All I'm sayin to the natural bodybuilders is don't be hating on or cutting short us bodybuilders who use steroids because we are not hating on or cutting short the natural bodybuilders. It's all a matter of choice. It's our choice to use steroids, just like it's the natural bodybuilders choice to stay natural. That's just my opinion about the whole deal.

It makes us smart, because we dont spend money on all those bogus supplements, which most of them are. We use the stuff that works and cost less than supplements do. So I'd say, we need to help out the natural guys and give them some steroids. I just hate it when people waste money on garbage.

In other words, become drug dealers.

I believe everyone at high level competition take something. No such thing as natural IMO.

christ, EXACTLY. I get tired of saying it. K.

If you want to put it that way, I see as doing a good deed. Even tho it's illegal, if it's helping someone out, makes me feel better.

How many of you have become addicted to steroids to a point where your well being would be at risk ? Was that to reach a level of body perfection without sweating as much as natural BB's do ?... I am curious to read your feedback on this, thank you

You got the wrong idea bro if you think just because a person is juicing that he/she don't have to work their ass off in the gym......AAS is only a tool that promotes faster recovery time, increased protein absorption and utilization and positive nitrogen balance among other things....Your results are solely based on diet, rest and training and not the AAS you use.......
Actually while juicing you have to be even more technical about sleep, diet and training....than a person that don't....Just some examples:

Sleep - sometimes becomes difficult because of the heighten hormone levels among other things

Diet - you must be a lot more careful with sodium and water because of extra risks that natural BBers and trainers don't have to be concerned about

Training - being that your muscles grow stronger a lot faster than your bones, you are more prone to injuries.....

Was that to reach a level of body perfection without sweating as much as natural BB's do?

.......so dude I would can that statement!

Bones dont grow, they get stronger, and that's what dbol is for. Most injuries involve ligaments/tendons.

Didn't say they grow bro....I said muscles grow stronger at a much more rapid pace....and yes I said bones and failed to mention lig and ten so thanks for the addition..............
