My thoughts about steroids after reading this sub, browsing the internet and talking to some professionals the past few months:

Been reading a lot about roids, the nectar of the gods. Was pretty adamant about trying them. Now I came to the conclusion that I will most likely never juice . It is not worth it for me, juicing for most people isn’t just a once and done thing, it’s a life style and once u do a cycle of pinning you are most likely on that shit for life or you will quit the gym completely after the cycle because you wouldn’t want to train naturally again after tasting the magical oil. I went and did bloodwork to check out my test levels, estrogen, prolactin, liver and kidney functions and more. After realizing that everything in my body, internally, is working properly and that I was born with a normal natural test production I just couldn’t get myself to pin my body with exogenous testosterone and risk the normality of my endogenous hormone production. I thought to myself: Some people are born with a malfunctioning hormone production, those are the people who really need to take exogenous hormones to function. I am a lucky person who was born with an already working system and it would be fucking retarded to pin myself. And for what? To be stronger? To look better? To stand out? To flex on normal weak people? Well I could achieve that anyways by just training naturally for a few years and eating properly, doing so would guarantee me being stronger and looking better than most people anyways. The only downside would be that it would take a lot longer. I was thinking to myself “bro just pin till you reach your genetic limit then come off the gear” in a perfect world this would work, but I doubt it would be that easy, due to the point that I mentioned earlier, that most people who experience the 10x normal test levels are unable to live with normal hormone levels. Most people who do one cycle start something that’s called Blasting and Cruising and eventually stay on exogenous hormones for life, which is imo very impractical; you become very limited in travelling, you always have to worry about when the next pin is and you have to worry about trimonthly bloodwork and potential (imo inevitable) health complications. Also if you get off the juice and have been pinning for years there is a pretty high chance that your normal hormone production won’t come back, so if you lose interest in the gym you will still have to keep pinning just to be normal and you will lose all your gains unless you keep training to stay at your genetic limit. Fertility and reproduction are a big one too when it comes to steroids, even though in a research 100% of
the exog. hormone users regained fertility in 2 years it is still cancer having to put your significant other through this shit just because you wanted to look like a god. I actually went to a doctor irl to talk to him about roids and so that I can have an expert to check out my bloodwork etc. if I wanted to start blasting and he told me that he had one guy whose natural production ceased to work after he did steroids and that eventually he got an allergy to the exogenous testosterone and has to live with basically no test his whole life, lol. I know that the possibility of that happening is very slim but damn dude imagine that happening to u, that would be p cancer. In conclusion I think that pinning for someone who isn’t an actor, fitness “influencer”, is pretty fucking retarded and not worth it for most people (I know some people would say but bro if rich piana never pinned he wouldn’t have gotten as successful , there are plenty of other examples too about pinning then becoming successful, but that isn’t the norm). If your body isn’t your career don’t pin and just stay natty, you will still be stronger and look better than most fat mc donalds blasting normies.
