Questions and accusations

[deestar]

Hey all,

So as I sit here impatienty awaiting the arrival of the gear for my first cycle, I'm left with this question: how do you respond to people who ask or outright accuse you of using aas? This is the one aspect of using ass that I think I'll wrestle with the most, as I put far too much stock in what other people say or think (getting over that, but it's a slow process).

Are people typically disappointed, scared, rude, stupid, impressed, all of the above? How did your families or co-workers react when you gained 20-30 PBS in 3 months?

Just interested in hearing some other perspectives.

Good question. I think we ave all run into this. My close friends and family all know about my use, and they are EDUCATED because of me. Anyone who asks, whom I do NOT know, I usually tell them about everything that I DO besides the anabolics. Also, anytime someone wants to argue the legitimacy and safety of AAS usage in healthy adult men, I am ALWAYS up for that debate. I have yet to come across someone from "the other side of the aisle" who is able to intellectually joust with me on the issue.

Just say your taking "Prohormones". its just easier.

 

[lartinos]

Pretty easy actually.
#1 Keep your cool
#2 Tell them about how you have an intense workout and diet regimen and how you were blessed with great genetics and would be tremendous if you
did juice
#3 Turn it on them after that and flip the questions so they are directed towards whether they workout, how there diet is, and offer to help them out.

Hit the karma button if I helped you out.

I think if it is obvious that you are on the gear and have just blown up over night and you lie to your friends about it, they will know and think your a dick. If my mates ask i tell them, if i lie and try to claim its natural it makes me look like a TOOL! If someone at work, gym, mall etc asks you tell them that you hit a plateau with your training and you switched up your training got a p.t and your eating double then what you were before

Obviously my girlfriend knows i juice she says i dont need it and im crazy to spend money on it, thats her only quarrels with it because I have educated her on the subject and she knows that I spend countless hours researching so shes confident i know what im doing and im not going to fuck myself for life, I told her not to believe the hype on televison. At first my parents were dissapointed but now we joke about it all the time, my dad tells me i look like a freak and i tell him one day if he trains hard and ups the dose on his testogel one day MAYBE he can look like me hahaha its hilarious we joke all the time

So if your boss asks you that's what you say. You say that you are taking illegal drugs. Doesn't work like that in states my friend. The audience he is talking about are the ones he is truly uncomfortable talking to. Another tip to the poster...
Run an AI so that you do not bloat. You will gain less water and give you a more natual look.

Re read my post mate then ask that again

Putting on 30 lbs in 3 months is absolutely ridiculous.

Remember we are talking about illegal drugs here... No one needs to know that you are taking AAS. In my opinion, the only person who needs to know you are on AAS is your wife.

You absolutely don't let anyone else know you are on. I made that mistake in my younger days... Now, my wife is the only person who knows.

Keep that shit on the down low. Most people are totally clueless... And if you are gaining 10lbs per month, take an AI and stop gaining fat... because it sure ain't lean muscle.

So none of your friends know you take AAS?

If i lived in U.S i would be cautious damn j walking, your laws are fucked up, and jail sentences are ridicolous

I like that

[wolfman87]

i've gained 26lbs in three months before... that being said i used the standard "diet, creatine, pre workout, protein powder" cover story for people who accuse me of it. i'll also throw in the "new this, new that" bullshit.

i don't tell any friends with a big mouth, but i do tell some of them who i know do it too (sort of a little club of us). as for my family... i don't tell them shit, cause you have to live with them for the rest of your life and they'll always have that to throw in your face at a later date.

i get this shit even when i'm not on the sauce so i'm pretty good at selling my story now cause 80% of the time it's true lol.

like someone else said another effective method is turning it around on them and making them feel insecure with themselves. works short term at least.

Great point. You definitely have to tailor your response to suit the audience.

My girlfriend will be cycling with me, which is great. Disappointing my parents is the thing I'm mostly concerned about, assuming they catch on to what's happening (who knows how likely that is). I'm 33 and definitely not under their wing anymore but hey, I love 'em and I don't want them to think negatively of me.

Well, that was just a hypothetical number - but I put on 30 lbs from January to April on PH's, and I went from 8% to 12.5% BF - not sparkling clean, but fairly clean.

Yeah, I don't know how much I really care about the stigma attached to aas, I just don't want to admit to the wrong person that I'm doing something illegal. Very interesting to hear other's responses so far.

You've got a good girl there mate! If i could have kept it from my parents I defintely would have but my family is really close and nobody can hide anything from each other lol

not anymore..> They did when I was younger. Everyone knew, I didn't hide it... and it caused lots of problems.

There is a bad stigma associated with AAS use, even more so lately with all the PED bullshit going through sports and shit.
