Should I Tell My Workout Partner I Juice?

[curling]

Man, I have been working out with this dude for about 4 months now. I think he is cool but he really doesn't like juice so I haven't told him I do it. Well the other day he said man your arms are getting bigger and I said it was just the pump(man I love the pump on gear). Then the other night we were doing shoulders and I did like 10 heavier on dbs on shoulder presses like 25 heavier than his. His eyes lit up.

I just wonder when I really start getting big(in week 4 now) Do you think he is going to keep buying my creatine story? Or should I tell him? Because he is very competitive and I would hate him to get hurt by trying to stay up with me. See what I saying?

Re: there are a lot of my friends that I suspect I juice.

But there is only 1 that I have admitted it to and he and I have been friends for 25 years.

Like I said we were pretty even in strength and I am concerned that he might injur himself trying to keep up with me.

No, don't tell him. Don't tell him anything. You don't have to explain why you're bigger or stronger. If he asks, shrug your shoulders, tell him you've been cleaning up your diet, sleeping better, etc.

When I did my last cycle I told 2 real close friends. Well, one of them got drunk one night and started running his mouth and blurted out that I was juicing. So now even more people know and you know how people like to spread stories/rumors. So I'd say unless you want to take a chance on everyone knowing, keep it to yourself.

Thats why I dont tell people anything anymore.

No, don't tell anyone. As soon as you tell him, he'd be like, "That's why you're big and strong!". BS ... it's because you worked your ass off.

But letting people in on your juicing suddenly makes your improvements meaningless in their eyes because they attribute it to juice.

Just tell em you're busting your ass.

I wouldn't tell either... I have never told anyone I know in person, and you know, you have to be honest about what you use on these boards to get solid advice.... The way I figure it, as long as only I know, that is the only way I can be 100% sure that no one else is going to find out.

See I look at it differently. I have a bunch of friends who are too fucking lazy to workout so when me and my buddy get bigger here and there they dont think anything of it cause we just say we are takng a shit load of expensive supplements. But if I were working out with my buddy and his strength was going through the roof and his size was too, I would be like, you juicing arent ya. Cause after workingout naturally and spending the money on supplements, well I would get the picture but than again not everyone will. There is only like 3 ppl who know I juice. My mom, my bro, and my buddy I do it with. Thats it. People just dont know or they just dont seem to care.

curling, I have the same delima. I've been working out with this dude for about a year and have never told him. When we started last year I was just coming off so he didnt have a clue, then around Christmas I hit just a short winny cycle he didnt say anything when strength increased plus he is really naive. But Im getting ready for next one so I've been dropping hints about AS cause I know it will be obvious. Like you and your partner, me and him are dead on strength, but he is totally against AS or any other drug for that matter. We arent really friends outside of the gym I just workout with him because he's always consistent and works hard. I think I'll probably end up telling him, I know he's cool but he will be giving me shit cause I'll blow past him in lifts.
