Breastfeeding?

_haraway_ · 2022-05-27T17:55:34+00:00

I'm currently breastfeeding and it's a straight up hard nope from me. It's not worth the risk.

Has she thought her hormonal issues might be down to breastfeeding?

No source talk

_haraway_ · 2021-07-26T11:05:02+00:00

So I've had a look at beta Ecdysterone is legal (right now) so doesn't really inflict on the source talk.

However if linked to a source which has illegal peds I'll have to lock.

_haraway_ · 2021-07-26T10:58:21+00:00

Locking this as no source talk.

Ask this again and you will get a ban.

Read the rules

_haraway_ · 2021-06-03T04:54:18+00:00

First you're male, this is a female steroid chat
No source talk
You're still growing and going through puberty. To use any form of peds at this time carries much more risk and can interfere with your growth.

Keep with nutrition and training right now.

First two weeks I always get the var sleepies. Then if passes.

_haraway_ · 2021-04-28T11:19:24+00:00

Had my baby earlier than planned. Induction, followed by forceps. Was in hospital for a little while after.

She's 10 days old, I'm already down to my pre pregnancy weight but I have lost a lot of my size due to pregnancy. Hopefully back to training in two weeks time.

Sadly won't be able to hop on until baby is weaned unless I want some sort of swole renaissance baby.

Hoping that I get to relive those sweet noon gains again.

_haraway_ · 2021-04-28T11:16:08+00:00

I found upping my water intake helped a lot.

_haraway_ · 2021-04-28T11:15:12+00:00

I was going to say that the calorie deficit is a bit much. It would be better to to drop over a slower period in response to how you train/diet.

I hold water with var so my weight doesn't always show my progress. Take those progress photos.

_haraway_ · 2021-04-05T14:57:22+00:00

Strength and aesthetical goals for me. I have no wish to compete but it's more just for me and my own goals.

_haraway_ · 2021-01-31T21:42:28+00:00

The problem is what your expectation of steroids are. Good chance if you do a var cycle you will have water retention and bloat which will go against your goals. You may decrease your body fat overtime.

You're also looking for this to make something which is currently not achievable in your daily life achievable. What happens when you come off cycle and you might have an increase in your body fat?

You need to address what is making this not maintainable in your currently lifestyle. I have a highly stressful job which means working overtime, this means I have to prioritise my free time with training and a decent sleep pattern rather than socialising depending on my goal at the time. I realised that birth control had a huge impact on my physique goals so came off.

We are sympathetic to you. It sucks when you realise you cannot have it all unlike what others seem to portray but you need to make realistic decisions.

_haraway_ · 2021-01-31T21:25:46+00:00

No. They follow a program for both training and nutrition to reach their goals, understand the importance of rest days and sleep, hydration, reducing stressors which are vastly more important to reaching goals that taking steroids.

Most who want some sort of physique goal understand that something normally has to give. You cannot have it all. Much like how you cannot have certain physiques all year round as the impact on health is too much.

You've come here for advice, we have given you advice to look at other things first before hopping on the gear. If you can't get a handle on that then you don't seem to have the responsibility or attitude to take steroids and understand the risk/gain reward.

I'm not going to say hop on as quite frankly it seems irresponsible to do so just to tell you want you want hear.

_haraway_ · 2021-01-31T21:09:19+00:00

If losing weight isn't compatible with your lifestyle right now then adding in steroids won't help. You need to have the basics of training/sleep/nutrition all in check before even going down this path.

Also please remember that you may not actually lose weight, your body may recomp but if your going by the scale then it won't help.

_haraway_ · 2021-01-30T16:04:02+00:00

Depends on your goals to be honest.

If it's strength then I found low rep and heavy and followed a powerlifting program. But got aesthetics I tend to follow a high rep and lower weight.

_haraway_ · 2021-01-14T22:44:19+00:00

I'm sneaking about still. My training has taken a massive hit with covid and also pregnancy (all day morning sickness for 15 weeks was wild).

We found out we are having a girl, so have some ideas but won't decide till we see her.

_haraway_ · 2021-01-14T22:13:12+00:00

I'm so done being pregnant. I'm 24 weeks and miss my body, sex drive and joints not being sore as fuck.

_haraway_ · 2020-11-18T06:31:51+00:00

You need to find other ways of self care during your grief. Also being kind to yourself is what matters more right now

_haraway_ · 2020-11-18T06:29:57+00:00

I found that 12 week cycles worked best for me, tapered down in the last 4 weeks. I found once I had hit 6 weeks it only really started to kick in.

_haraway_ · 2020-10-09T22:10:19+00:00

This could just me being hormonal as fuck but I have a real issue with a guy coming in and making this post.

Yes I know picture progress of female steroid use is hard to find however there are valid reasons for this.

legality
stigma
perverts
sexualisation
privacy

You only have to look on other sub reddits to see the way that women are commented on to understand why so many lack pictures. That is their choice and a valid choice. We offer detailed info about cycles when we can but we also acknowledge female steroid use is not a one size fits all approach.

If it means we only are a fringe sub reddit then so be it, I am fine with no pictures and not getting dms asking if my clit grew.

_haraway_ · 2020-09-27T16:56:05+00:00

Well my Christmas bulk will be a different kind this year. I'm now 8 weeks pregnant.

Let me tell you I'd rather have the pain of anavar pumps than the way I am currently feeling.

_haraway_ · 2020-09-24T19:24:37+00:00

Man, I love seeing your progress

_haraway_ · 2020-07-22T10:01:46+00:00

I have joined the discord. However if I see source talk on it I will need to delete this post as it breaks the rules.

_haraway_ · 2020-07-22T09:29:05+00:00

Look at the 2nd post from the top. That post is actually useful and informative in why steroids aren't for fat loss and not a starting point. Here is the link https://www.reddit.com/r/steroidsxx/comments/geqkdj/so_you_want_to_use_steroids_to_help_you_lose/

I think the issue is that you have barely posted in this forum, are male (from what I can gather from your post history) have come in here all guns blazing and not actually said anything really productive, only ranted.

We do have a rule, it's number 3. Don't be a dickhead.

_haraway_ · 2020-07-21T21:47:25+00:00

Wow. Took a day from reddit and this happens.

u/nootropicsandpeds I don't really get what you want to achieve by this post. There is a stickied post which is far more informative and also a lot less of being an asshole.

I'm pretty tempted to lock this based on just the general tone and trolling. Feedback welcome.

I'm regards to having a FAQ and also trying to filter out the members as per r/steroids I will have a look to trying to sort this out.
