How many Americans regularly use steroids?

[big_boy_1]

Being illegal I know they are only guesstimates.

A newspaper sensationalistic article said half a million Americans use anabolic steroids.
Even 100k sounds exaggerated to me.
I think they are counting old farts on HRT and those who tried a couple juice cycles but didn't continue.

Most young people don't care about muscles anymore. They only care about the (anti)social media, youtube, videogames and celebrities at best.

Any FDA or DEA guesstimates?
Regularly doesn't mean cruising either.

there is a big difference between USE and USED. if we say used I would say if you go to any legit gym in a decent town then the majority of males would be guilty as charged .. I actually have a buddy who you would never guess ever touched steroids in his life.. but guess what? when he was in college his frat buddies got him doing them. his results were pretty pathetic and you wouldn't of thought that the guy ever used steroids, but he did.

so I disagree with you and the number who use and used steroids is much higher then what you think. with the ease of access to steroids, and the cheap price. the number of people using them is higher then ever.. it is cheaper to buy a vial of gear online then it is to wash and wax your car. it is just as easy to go online and buy steroids then it is to buy a book on amazon. its as common today as creatine use was when I was in my 20s

I really don't know the raw numbers, and there is no way you could ever get an accurate number cause most people lie about their usage on the downside.. nobody is going to lie and say they use steroids when they don't, but A LOT of people will say they don't use steroids not just for legal reasons but also because they don't want people to think they got their results by 'magic' (which is what most people think steroids are because of ignorance) look at all the social media people who claim they are natty for example.

yes you are right.. but picking on 'young people' is not even necessary

most americans don't give a fuck about their fitness or health. most americans go home every night and drink and/or do drugs. most people sign up for gym memberships and then quit after a month or two. those are the facts and it doesn't matter if you are 20 or 60. the facts are universal

I was obsessed with fitness when I was a teen, but I didn't take it to the extreme level till I was in my mid to late 20's.. I had more important things to worry about when I was 'young' like my education, starting a career, getting laid, etc. lol. but seriously when you are young EDUCATION should be the #1 priority, once you get established in life then you can worry about using steroids etc.

There are a lot in the US that uses still. Most aren't the mass giants of the decades past. More and more use them to get as shredded as possible. Enter the Zyzz era of retards.

... zyzz didn't get 'shredded' from steroids.. he got shredded from diuretics, stimulants, sweating out water, and starving himself. it also is what contributed to his death. had he just used steroids he would 100% still be alive today

it is far more dangerous to take legal stimulants, they will cause adrenal fatigue and enlarge the heart... far more americans use stimulants on a DAILY basis.. not just young people.. but adults of all ages. if you drink coffee everyday that is a stimulant, if you drink red bull that is a stimulant.
