Are steroids really safe?

[NFG123]

I know they are ... but my girlfriend is unconvinced ... can anyone offer her words of reassurance or some scientific proof (or lack of evidence that they are truly as dangerous as everyone believes) (with the exception of harsh orals) that they aren't much to worry about with proper ancillary drugs, dosing and time off?

thanks bros,
NFG

steroids are like any other drugs, alcohol, tobacco, coffee......... education/knowledge is the key. If you know how to use it and with moderation then everything should be ok. It's worse to drink a 24 pack ED for 10 years non-stop than doing 2-3 miserable cycle during the same period.

They're safe if you're smart about it..

 

[NFG123]

thanks manny! bump!

 

[OKIE]

I agree w/ manny, but you can't really say that steroids are safe no matter how smart or careful you are. Any time you are putting a foreign drug in your body, it can be unsafe. This goes for smoking, dipping, drinking, etc. Just remember, there is a difference between steroid use and steroid abuse.

 

[belly24]

Yes, I also agree with the other bro's comments! Like ANY other drug it can be dangerous. Read Read Read about AS. Just dont abuse the sause and you should be fine. I did reserch on Steroids for 1 yr before doing my first cycle. Just have ur GF and urslef read about them more more more more!!! Good luck

They are very unsafe so you should just send all your gear to me .

 

[athlete03]

It depends on what you mean by "safe"? Will steroids increase the probability of you having future health problems? Of course. Are you likely to drop dead or end up in the hospital like Flexed1 from moderate use? No. Does moderate use nonetheless increase your chances of these dire consequences? To some degree. Is it worth the benefits and increased sexual access to women? Um, yes.

 

[RADAR]

No they are NOT safe! Since i been on -women come onto me , this has resulted in hardships with the girls i date regularlly and has ended in many arguments.so to answer your question-NO THEY ARE NOT SAFE .So don't even start unless you are prepaired to engage in fights & arguments my friend!!!

Low doses and not too androgenic stacks infrequently done are pretty safe but not completely safe. By infrequent I mean 8-12 week cycles with and equal amount of time off.

I am talking about a stack somehting like 200 of test and 200 of nandrolone injected every 4 days.....this is a highly anabolic and somewhat low androgenic stack. The addition of any 17aa roid(orals or winny) scews the balance to unsafe IMO. Also doses of gear above 800 mg per week is not particularily safe.

Yet there are a few bro's that can take more gear and still maintain a decent cholesterol /hdl profile, normal liver enzymes and normal blood pressure but sooner or latter these issues catch up with them as the doses increase.

If you want to get really big then there is surely a health price you pay.

Arnold didn't just get his Aortic valve replaced with his big surgery(damage caused by childhood disease).......he also had a bypass......no shit!

Sounds like your girlfriend needs a little trip to Shutupville USA.

Not trying to be rude, but what gives her the right to need to be convinced. Let's say she wanted a boob job would you have the right to tell her no. What about birth controll if she wanted to take it would you have the right. Well tell me of the horror stories on these topics.

The legal ramifications are the unsafe part other than that women need to understand some guys need help keep up with implants, lipo, makeup and haircare there is sometimes to big a gap between the rights of the male and the female (role reversal?) the legal issue is there to create this gap (steroids will kill, but girl power will save the earth)

Just try to say you have a problem with something she likes to do just pick one and she will have a fit right then and there, but your going to take her bitching. Well if she does not feel sure about things just do them anyway and make plans for an upgrade in the near future.

My wife and I have the same viewpoint she says your gf is just wanting to have a problem with something so that's it this month and what will it be next month? ( I have a cool wife)

Nothing is 'safe'. Living is dangerous, but there are reasonable precautions you can take. One of those is respecting whatever it is you are doing whether it be climbing on a mountain or eating unrefined sugars - both can damage your health and your body if abused.

Thanks guys,

Re: the shutupville comment ... lol

But she is a great girl and i love her to death, she said she would support me either way, but i want her to completely comfortable with my decision, not just accept it with moderate protest ... as she learns more im sure this will change...

Nothing is safe if you abuse it. Even water can kill you.

 

[Lestat]

Some women don't like their men going out of their way to better their body because they are insecure. They think you are trying to do it so that you are more desireable to other women, not just her... they think that if you do become more desirable, you may leave them. I had a very insecure girlfriend once who didn't like me spending time at the gym... she had every excuse.. "I think muscles are gross.." "I like a guy with a little gut..." and the list went on.

Exactly.

Moderation is the key, but not necessarily the answer. I knew of a guy that developed cancer from dipping skoal and he only did it for a month. I have other friends that's been dipping practically all their lives and have NO side effects. -Sometime things effects people very differently.

Thanks guys, more opinions are still welcome!
