Steroids
Just talking with my neighbour about working out. He was talking about the supps he is taking and I gave him my 2 cents on supps. He has only been working out for 2 months and is already taking a T booster. He kept bringing up steroids and how these giants at his work have been doing them, one guy he said gained 35 lbs in 1 month.
Now I am a hard gainer so I won’t lie and say the thought never crossed my mind to take some magic juice and speed up my gains huge. Luckily for me I have a strong will and have decided many years ago that I am happy making slow progressive gains. I get a huge thrill at the end of the month when I step on the scale and see that I have packe on anothe 5 or more punds and my waist line hasnt moved to much, or when I measure and see a half inch here and ahalf inch there. I get super stoked on that because I know I busted my ass for it.
I realize the frustration that you can have and understand why someone would want to buy some test and jab there ass to make themselves grow. But to me if you just started working out this year and you are jumping on the roid train already you didnt earn jack. Yea sure you hit the weights and ate alot but 90% of those gains you didnt actually "earn". I can understand using if you have trained for 5 or more years and really want to jump a certain plateau because you have strength and have learned enough hopefully in your training that this sh!t aint for the week hearted.
I am trying not to sound like a d!ck or a preacher here but fact of the matter is roids is cheating unless you are stuck. And trust me being 6′4 and 160 lbs wet with workboots on I know the frustration. I have been working out on and off for maybe 10 years. I would take it serious for a few months and take a break for 7 months then repeat. In those slacker years as I refer to them I gained maybe 20 lbs. Once I started noticing the diffrence made with proper supps and diet I have widdled my way up to 225 and I have no intention of taking any helpers. I know I can keep going untill my genetics say no more and when that day comes maybe then I will contemplate if it makes sense with my goals.
To end this off I will say, don’t do it unless you earned it. They are a right and not a recreational hobby. This is a lifestyle and you have to feel pain to earn what you are after. The house you build in a year will be nothing compared to the building I construct over a life time. Drywall to cinderblocks.
