Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2002/01/20, 11:54 AM Are you interested in starting?... The main things to look for are dramatic increase in size and strength over a short period of time. A 'bloated' look.. the muscles look bigger but are soft and puffy. Now for the rest of the side-effects everyone will be different. The 'roid-rage' is overrated and only people whom have had a previous temper will show signs of it. There can be acne.. a 'square' skull.. increased sex drive.. baldness.. increased appetite.. that's it for the visible ones. Remember.. all people react differently and the dosage is a factor as well. Someone can be on juice and have zero visible sideeffect besides the size and strength. .o0 Arnold 0o.

Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2002/01/20, 12:27 PM No.. I have not personally taken any juice. However.. many friends have.. and I have talked with a few IFFB pro bodybuilders about it.. as well as about 2 years research now. I have accepted the fact that to be pro you have to do it. There are safe ways about it however.. The downfall is that once a person does their first cycle then they get 'hooked' because the gains come so much faster. The key is to do very small and safe quantities.. train like a madman, eat like a horse and sleep plenty. I have found that a small 8-10 week cycle has the same liver damage as a huge night of drinking. Basically your mind can get hooked.. not your body like other drugs. Everyone must make their own decisions.. I don't like people who simple bash everything. .o0 Arnold 0o.
rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/01/20, 12:46 PM Your enthusiasm (and knowledge) struck me as one that has at least considered taking it for a cycle?? I thought about it once a long time ago, but didn't want to take a chance in my hair falling out and/or sacrificing a liver or kidney. You are right in that everyone must make their own decisions. Hopefully, an informed one...
Ironbod Posts: 71 Joined: 2002/01/18	2002/01/20, 12:23 PM I am definitely not interested in starting, I was just wandering if there was a way to tell just by seeing a picture or something because my dad claims to be able to tell if someone is on steroids. But, he also says 99% of the bodybuilders he sees are on them. Is anyone here on them?

Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/21, 03:59 AM No Davo that's a question about low body fat level. Nothing to do about steriods.
Ironbod Posts: 71 Joined: 2002/01/18	2002/01/21, 12:02 PM Maybe Davo meant that because they are on steroids they have lower body-fat levels making their veins more noticeable.
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/22, 03:09 AM Nope Iron, being on steroids doesn't mean that you can be cut either. Still nothing to do.
Ironbod Posts: 71 Joined: 2002/01/18	2002/01/22, 01:44 PM Philia, don't steroids make it easier to lose body-fat which would lead to an overall more cut appearance?
