What does it feel like being on steroids?

[Killler]

Here`s the thing....

I did a "cycle" of TestoJack100(natural test booster(contains longjack,tribulus,zma and siberian ginseng))

I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS STUFF WORKS ON INCREASING TEST AT ALL.


After about ten days on it,it started to make me irritable and cranky.

I felt aggressive,but not the good kind of aggressive,something like being cranky,being angry but mostly at myself.
I also told off everybody that annoyed me right to their face,rather than trying to be calm.

I didn`t like it very much.
I also got very horny.
I didn`t notice any mass gains.

That got me thinking:was my test really being raised by these herbs,and that I was feeling so idiotic
or was it that it was a side effect of these herbs and not having to do anything with increased test?

p.s.I HAD ALSO INJURED MY ELBOW and couldn`t train for the entire time taking those herbs,so MAYBE THAT WAS THE THING THAT MADE ME PISSED.



So I was wondering,how do you guys feel on a cycle?

Do you have these feelings,like couldn`t getting your head straight and being pissed and cranky on the inside?

I`m asking because I would like to try some gear one day,and if it`s anything like this,it wouldn`t be ok for me.

there isn't a clear cut answer to this. everyone is different.

some guys can't handle AAS at all. they go out and get into fights and look for trouble and blame it on the steroids, thats bullshit though. my belief is that if you are a cranky person from lets say lack of food, then when you are on you will be more cranky if you don't get food.. same with sleep, same with annoying people etc.

as you gain experience this gets less and less of an issue. i'm calm as a cucumber on cycle now. my first 2 test cycles if i got annoyed or if i got hungry i would get pissed off. the key and we've had dozens of threads about this, is you have to take out your crankyness and aggression on the weights and not loved ones or go out and punch some random dude for looking at you wrong.

example: the other day i was jogging on the road and some drunk redneck almost ran me over, he swung back around and i was assuming he wanted to make sure i was okay.. but no.. he comes back and cusses me out and tells me to get on the sidewalk. i stand there and look at him as he drove away (i had no shirt on and it was obvious he didn't have the balls to get out of his car and fuck with a jacked dude) so i stare his truck down and watch him drive away and grab a couple of his license plate #'s. now someone else might have chased him down and dragged him out of his car and kicked his ass, looking back i am thankful i used my head cause it would of been ridiculous to go to jail over such a stupid thing. i blew it off and just finished my jog home. if that isn't the route you would take in that situation then steroids aren't for you yet until you mature more.

reason being you will only add to the media hysteria about how steroids cause roid rage blah blah blah. just google 'roid rage' and see all the hits. it makes all juicers look bad and its insulting to those of us who are mature adults and know how to handle the extra aggression from hormones

I can understand this

if that isn't the route you would take in that situation then steroids aren't for you yet until you mature more.

i would definitely take the route you did in that situation.





Thing is,I don`t even know if to compare what I felt like,with steroids,it might have been solely the effect of those herbs(tribulus,longjack),and not necessarily of increased test.
I don`t know.
I was more like angry inside,than kicking other`s asses.
I usually do keep shit bottled up inside,rather than getting into fights,as I do not want to go to prison off course.
And after I keep much shit inside,I get depressed.

^^^ take out your anger in the weight room.

you should be doing 1 hour of exercise a day and clearing out your baby batter. it could be the gym, a run, swimming, yoga, anything where you are getting physical and blowing steam off .. you may need to do something in the morning AND the evening. for example.. a 30 minute walk or jog in the morning.. then gym in the afternoon.

or gym in the morning and swimming in the afternoon.. you get my drift.

if you do nothing all day then that is where the baby batter gets backed up in your body and you keep that shit inside and when it comes out then look out. we don't want that. use the increased aggression TO YOUR BENEFIT in constructive ways. you will stay balanced that way.

Great feeling of well being

Really?

Hmm that must be pleasant.

Not at all what I felt on these natural t boosters.

I was just irritated and pissed.

You will know youre on when you have to scrap the previous weeks weights/reps you were doing because everything is flying through the roof.

How do I feel on steroids? About ten times better than I do when I'm not lol to be honest I've experienced no additional aggression aside from in the weights room and in the bedroom, in fact I'm seriously chilled out on cycle... hard to put me in a bad mood and if I do end up in one tends to pass very quickly... if someone fucks with me I'm gonna give it to them straight, but thats more assertive than aggressive...

 

[semper03]

I feel more alive. I'm more alert, energetic and ready to go. I've had one bad case if tren rage that lasted about 5 hours while I was at work. I just stayed to myself and as soon as I was off I went and lifted it out. It's how you choose to handle it IMO don't let it control you.

This is a great post here by Steve, and a perfect example of "constructive" ways of handling aggression. The veterans typically know how to do this and handle things on cycle just fine. I actually think I'm more calm and easy going on cycle than when not on. I get pissed off much more when I'm not on anabolics. I guess a big reason is that when I'm "on", I feel great and I'm happy as hell because of the differences my body is making. Anabolics also will effect people differently too, and then when factoring that people handle it differently, it's literally impossible to say exactly how someone will be on cycle.

A lot of natty Test boosters are total shit. The ingredients you've listed above are nice for increasing libido and such but your skepticism as to whether it actually did anything to your test is well founded. Why were you taking a test booster when you werent able to work out anyway?

Thats neither here nor there. I've seen aggressive people become hyper-aggressive on cycle and I've seen aggressive people become calm as a Buddhist monk getting a blowjob in a bed of dandelions when on cycle. It really is person dependent. I tend to think that the former is due more to a sense of overconfidence than any sort of actual irritability - a person who is naturally aggressive may become more prone to action when they feel confident enough in their capabilities in certain situations (if you get what I'm saying).

To say what everyone else has already said, nobody can predict how you will react to them, you'll just have to see for yourself. Dont be in a rush though, that can get you in some shit.

in the gym i get a sense of well being because my muscles feel fuller and my lifts are easier. but well being outside the gym? maybe the first few times you juice but i think vets who haven't juiced for years would agree the mental aspect goes away as you gain more experience.
