Placebo Effect on Side effects!!!

[johnnyboy3689282]

Does anyone think that sides from steroid cycles can come stem from the placebo effect... The mind plays a very important role in weight lifting... naturally, if you think your gonna ten sets with acheivable weight, you more than likely will.. Vice versa, if you believe the weight is heavy, it will appear more heavy.. Anyone think that some of the sides experienced are due to the fact that some people think there gonna get sides due to steroids... I know there is medicine behind some of the sides with mega doses. but with the lower doses we all use on a daily basis, i feel sometimes people sike themselves out... Ive never experienced anything other than night sweats... jsut wondering other peoples outlooks...

the mind plays an important role in weightlifting but also in anything you do. to some this is a hobby, to others its a lifestyle.. whatever you call it if your mind is in line you will succeed for sure. sit down and watch people coming in the gym, you can tell the positive and successful people, to the negative and people who fail after a couple months in the gym then quit.

Completely agree, since I started I can honestly say that I have been a much better mood! Happier and what not but that probably comes from a bit of extra self confidence

Ya, I actually felt LESS aggressive during my last cycle. I mean stuff still pissed me off for sure, but I think I just tried really hard to NOT get mad, because I was on cycle I didnt want to do anything stupid or raise my blood pressure. I just blew stuff off alot easier, kinda weird. Just too happy and feelin good to let little things piss me off i guess. lol

Nonsense. A rat will grow more muscle on steroids and he don;t now shit about placebo.

On the other hand, I've actually see guys NOT get results, because they think a steroid takes 6 weeks to kick in! lol! It takes about 6 minutes! And you should notice a considerable increase in strength in 6 days. But guys just sit around" waiting" for them to work.

^^^ a rat doesn't think the way humans have evolved to though.

the mind is a very powerful thing.. in any ailment you can put a drug forward, do placebo studies and you will find people react on the placebo. this is actually what holistic healing is all about.. using the body to alter your well being without the use of harmful drugs.

using meditation or prayer daily can help reduce blood pressure for example, this is proven i'm sure you will agree. a rat doesn't know how to meditate.

Right, hence my remark, it isn't a placebo effect.
