What if people suspect you of doing gear?

[DJ_UFO]

First of all I don't know why eberybody hide gear from wife and/or gf...she has to respect your private space. Ok, these are drugs...but while you are prepared, informed and you are intelligent, they will do nothing wrong with you. And she has to accept this. I didn't told my wife that i was using roids but was just a game...i just wanted to hear that "you are getting bigger"..."what are you using"?. Then i told her the truth....and nothing wrong happened.

Second, at my job, some old ladies tell me "you are getting fat"!...of course if they don't know anything about muscles...they look at me bigger, but for them that is fat. Other guys that have some clue about roids and bodybuilding are asking if I'm using steroids...i just tell them..."no, I was bigger before and now i'm recovering from a long period being off and eating bad."...that seems to work very well with everybody.

Other guys that knows me from before i just tell them that i'm using a very strict diet and hitting the gym every single day. And finally there are just a couple that have used roids in the past and they know the truth...

tell them your starting a new workout and you getting kick ass results from it. You cant believe you are gaining like this. They will ask about the workout but probably never try it bc most people think they know it all. usually works for me

I stay as inconspicuous as possible. I talk to no one about AAS outside of the internet. It wasn’t always this way. Back in the eighties I would openly admit that I was using but then it became criminal. I do hear people at the gym running their mouths occasionally, but if anybody asks me if I use AAS, I’ll make sure that I sound like the biggest dope on the planet. It throws them off in a big way.

Tell'em it's all that Muscletech stuff.. Then show them the ads! lol...

Look them straight in the eye and say.....yeah, Im on juice, what you gonna do about it?

It is really unlikely to be an issue at work. In my job we wear suit clothes, and one of my coworkers was state winner last year, and he doesn't look too roidy, and there is no suspicion. I am not as big as he, so noone bothers me, they just say "You are really hittin' those weights and getting big." As far as the state competitor goes, he and I took one look at each other, started talking about oldschool pros, and within 3 days were comparing cycles. You will just look in some eyes and you'll both KNOW. If we get real pressed, we pull out the mucletech ads and have some shared joke at the expense of some boob. The main thing about roids, or marijuana, or queers, or whatever subculture you are talking about, is that the rest of the world isn't in that subculture, in other words, the rest of the world doesn't really think about bodybuilding and anabolics 24/7. And if you don't look like a mediastereotype of a roid user (like a pro-wrestler), people accept alternative explanations easily. This is less true for young guys like 18-19, but I don't run into them often. As for my wife, I tell her straight. Girlfriend is a little different, but I would share, and if she freaks, fuck it. If you have no kids and no property together, she could do nothing but gossip to her bitch friends, and you'd already be demonized anyway, with or without roids.

Tell them you are using my 8 weeks to freakier muscles program...

It is really unlikely to be an issue at work.

I disagree....at two different jobs i each did one cycle and everytime someone knew something was up. It makes you an easy ass target in the corporate world, especially if they see you eating constantly all the time. My bosses have flat out asked me if i was on steroids. I got all offended and they never made it an issue after that, though. All you can do is completely deny it...and keep water retention and acne down.

water retention = dead giveaway

Just tell her the truth. My wife freaked out at first, but I had her read up and do her research on this site and talk to other people, she has the same respect for it as I do now and is even willing to help inject for me!

I really appreciate the advice from everybody. And, it's all really good. The only problem is with my gf. She is as stubborn as they get. She once told me that if I ever used steroids that she would lose a lot of respect for me. She doesn 't know anything about gear but that wouldn't stop her from over reacting out of ignorance. It just seems as though she would never understand... nor would she want to.

Hey Mike P.T., us personal trainers have to stick together.
