+ 8 Dangerous Trends in AAS Use
There are some topics that have become more commonly seen and discussed that I believe to be dangerous. Also I see fewer guys posting in warning. These topics aren't only perilous to the new user, more experienced user don't seem to be as cautious of them either. As more people than ever are seeking out aas because of the fitness craze that's taken hold in America its more important than ever to give sound advice and be mindful that after someone logs off this site they may actually be applying what they've just read. Something that could have lasting effects on their health. Not just how they will look at the beach in 12 weeks......here are a few of these topics and a little about my concerns on each.
CRUISING, CRUISE/ BLASTING
You will see this topic referred to by both the titles above. A brief description is between cycles instead of proper PCT and adequate time off a person will use a lower dose than what was used on cycle to "cruise" until the next cycle. The logic behind this is you keep your test level hi and lose no gains in between cycles so you will in theory grow more. This can cause numerous long and short term problems. You should be aware of them and prepared to deal with them if you are planning doing it. Under no circumstances should you attempt this until you are years into your aas use and have some advanced cycles to your credit. If you don't fall into that category then chances are you will gain MORE LONG-TERM by using PCT and recovery time between cycles because your body still has untapped potential that could be forever hindered by over use. The cruise/blast might keep you look good now but years from now should you still be dedicated to training you will have robbed your body of some things. The thought that you can just go TRT usually comes in with the cruise conversation and this is also my next topic
Trying to go on TRT for the wrong reasons
If you have been legitimately diagnosed with problems that lead you to TRT you think TRT sucks but your thankful for it. You went through some dark days most likely and finding TRT was a great thing. Its a hassle and the issues that lead you to get on it to start with could still come up but with the care of a Dr you can keep things normal. TRT isn't something you can just stop if you get tired of doing it or you lose your insurance and can't afford the expense out of pocket. Thinking you can just order UGL gear and give yourself injections from now on as sort of a self diagnosed, self administered TRT is just ignorant and dangerous. I fear there are a lot of guys that do this without any bloodwork or medical advice or supervision.
The Cycle with Two 19-Nor compounds Ran Together
There was a time when this topic was talked about as extremely dangerous. I won't say it has become accepted but its definitely more tolerated than it used to be. On boards and in the gym among peers. Also there are a lot of offerings from various labs for hi mg blends offering a two 19-nor mix. You never saw this in the past. I believe 19-nors should be used with extreme care when 1 is included in cycle. Using 2 at the same time I believe is beyond stupidity. Even if you just look at risk vs. Reward and what precautions needed to be taken intra-cycle and post cycle, why would you do it.
There are several other topics that are cause for concern but most are addressed regularly in forums and perhaps these I've listed above in your opinion are talked about and warned of sufficiently. I feel these are worth repeating and keeping the dialog fresh. More and more people are using aas as I said above. Also its much easier to obtain than in the past. People are using these forums (this site as well as others) as their introduction to all things aas. You can't stop them from acting dangerously but at least making sure they have both sides of the coin they know the pitfalls are real. There will always be those that take time to educate themselves and become successful and responsible aas users. Those are the ones we will be depending on to carry on the knowledge we try to provide about the need for patients and safety with aas. I hope this post helps someone make a better informed decision. One that has ramifications on there greatest asset. Their health.

Absolutely!!
AnonI agree with what you're saying but it's up to the individual to be safe with this stuff, giving advice is what this board is about, but most people that ask these type questions are only looking for people to say what they're doing is ok, as soon as they hear what they're doing is wrong, they shut down and stop listening. Everyone's is going to do what they want no matter what anyone says. I've see a lot of seasoned members on here spend a lot of time trying to help people out and usually their advice isn't taken. Eventually people are going to have to show they want advice before these guys step up to give it to them. I would imagine they're tired of wasting their time to a certain extent.
RustyhookerAmen....
Ah-ha!!! One my points and biggest concerns. As soon as the guys that are able to give sound advice say its hopeless and just stop trying then it really will get bad. Then the trends turn into norms. The retards win. If you get 1 out of 100 interested and wanting to learn the time was worth it. Also that 1 guy will probably still be pursuing this when the others have moved on. Plus you have guys out there putting dangerous info out for the sake of sales. If you enjoying this lifestyle you better do what you can to try and keep some informed sensible people involved in it. Other wise theres no telling what the state of aas world will be in the future.
I find that it is really not worth it to do a detailed critique a cycle or go into a long detailed answer right away about a post that some one puts up that I have not seen around on the boards. Usually falls on deaf ears anyway and becomes a waste of time. I usually put out a little feeler question first like what is your diet like or how many cycles have you ran. The reply or lack of that you get usually gives a good indication if the person is going to be receptive or just looking for someone to cosign what they are doing. Then we can get down to the nitty gritty and get things worked out if they appear to be willing. If not, I haven't wasted a whole lot of time then by writing some book for a reply.
Exactly brother!! It’s worth the small effort to see if someone is genuine & it’s always worth it when you find that one that applies the advice!
RustyhookerNice read! The young dudes wanting blast n cruise are very uninformed. I keep telling these dudes to go to the gym and look around and see how many dudes 40 and above are still jacked.
Out of all the dudes i grew up with, im the only one still lifting. Family hits and the gym goes bye bye for most folks.
It takes dedication as you well know. I hope im still going as strong at 50 as you!! :-D jk... Ty for the compliment.
Hashtag1981Family hits , there is no time . I have one girl and she takes up 50% of my paycheck and 90% of my time!
I agree though cruising seems pointless if you don't have too. There are other ways to maintain Test levels without TRT.
RustyhookerExactly! This place is chalk full of real advice. I learn new pieces of the puzzle often.
Keep being a good dad. Its really worth it!
Hashtag1981Right on...
