+ 2 Getting constant Implications of steroid use?
So I've always seen these type of post and said to myself what an annoying unuseful post! Now I have come to the realization that indeed they had a valuable placement within the community. What am I talking about? Is the constant questioning about.."how do I get so big" and slick comments about taking steriods. Well I have always loved my size and when I look in the mirror I'm pretty impressed, I gained 9lbs so far in my 6 week cycle. I just feel I'm finally reaching the point of freakyness, that people are starting to wonder.I get questioned at the gas station, partys, work and even by family. I can only imagine what the pros go through, i would lock myself in the house. I usually rebuttal and say " you have to eat every two hours and increase your protien ect." It might be just mental, but I swear they give me that look like "yeah right nooka." It's just getting kinda uncomfortable, when before it was flattering. I never let anyone know about my steroid use, unless of course they are "about that life." Just the other day I was sitting with Co workers,1 male and 1 female and I'm not sure if he felt threatened, but he said " maybe I should do steriods like this guy." All of this referring to me, im just kinda getting tired of explaining myself. I just joke back and say "matter of fact i have to inject now."Where it starts to suck is when they keep on with the steriod implications.Unfortunately I'm a walking billboard. What do you guys do in this situation? I usually joke back, but now it's coming to the point that everyone is starting to ask questions. Maybe it's all in my head? I feel like I should be a multi level marketer and when they ask me how did I get that big? I can lie and have them buy some bullshit expensive herbal life protein or something. Sorry for the bad Grammar and spelling, but I wrote this off a whim.

I know where your coming from from. I used to hate getting those answers from guys who obviously had the edge and now I'm giving them.
All my coworkers have either asked for my diet plan now or what kind of supplements do I use so they can grow too. Or straight up say im into steroids.
I've told one guy there i cycle, as he is the only one who trains hard and is maxed out natty so I gave his big ass some var and test for being cool and telling the guys I train my ass off for what I got. No juice here. They all know we train together so they trust that. And it goes back to what should they buy at gnc lol.
Despite accusations, i've enjoyed all the nicknames I earned this cycle.
That's the whole stigma that steroids are some miracle drug that make you huge. What these people don't realize is that you can take as many AAS compounds as you like, if you don't bust your ass and eat right, go the heck home cuz it ain't happening.
Just tell them you're taking creatine.
you gotta realize, theres a lot of stupid people out there and theres a lot of assholes out there that need an excuse for everything when they find themselves falling short when they compare themselves to someone else. I remember in 7th grade, we had inside recess cause it was raining outside, and all the guys stated arm wrestling. I wasn't the biggest guy in the class but i did a lot of manual labor work with my dad around the house so I had some strength due to that. anyways, i must have arm wrestled every person in my class at least 2x that day and destroyed them every time. next thing ya know, Im on steroids. now granted we're talking about kids in 7th grade so i wouldn't quite call that stupidity (maybe jealousy because I went up against a few guys 5-6 times and they lost every time) but it just goes to show how some people need to come up with ridiculous assumptions to rationalize things. and all I did was rake leaves, move some masonry blocks, typical yard work.
then you got shit in the media showing a picture of justin beiber or some shit, scrawny little prick, with something involving steroids in the headline because he has some muscle tone that a crackhead could maintain. people's perceptions of reality when it does to AAS or what you can do naturally is so fucked its retarded. then on top of that, you have assholes that are gonna say whatever it takes to help them sleep at night when they aren't as big or strong as someone else, so now anyone bigger/stronger than them is automatically on. but typically, these people stick out like a sore thumb and the people who you actually want to be open with know their opinions don't mean shit.
so basically just let your hard work and dedication in and out of the gym do its own talking. thee will always be assholes, there will always be idiots, but there will always be guys that recognize what it takes to accomplish something significant and they're the ones you wanna be open with so you can talk about things, get advice, etc. they understand AAS are 1 of many tools people with serious goals use to accomplish things.
Im aout to start my 1st cycle and Ive told only 1 person so far. He has used in the past (not anymore) and is big and strong as hell still. he's seen me bust my ass in the gym, talk about training ideas and stuff, so he knows what the deal is and thats why I chose to tell only him (so far) of my intentions. as for everyone else thats gonna disregard everything else that I put into achieving my goals, all my effort and dedication, throw that out and attribute it all to a pill or a few ml of oil and each the magic happen; fuck em (the assholes) or just deny, deny, deny if its someone thats ignorant of lifting and the role AAS plays in it. they may not have bad intentions but instead just be basing their conclusions off of how skewed the whole steroid thing is in todays world.
I'm totally straight up with people...when blatantly asked the question I blatantly give them the answer..."don't lie you take steroids huh?" "yes" now either that is the end of the conversation or they genuinely have interest and or questions...depending on who it is and what I'm doing at the moment...I might shoot the shit with em for a few. Its foolish imo to lie as it in a way demeans yourself for anothers speculation and judgment...in other words...fuck em...yes I use steroids...pass judgment if you'd like...make a smartass comment to try and provoke me...my anger only shows when lifting...or poundin the lady out...be proud of the hard work and sacrifice each of us put ourselves through because this shit is not easy...own it ...we work hard for it my brothers! Edit: I forgot...I only lie to my little niece...she says"you're an asteroid...(meaning steroids haha) giant...i say nope I eat kids that don't do good in school hahaha:)
THATS BECAUSE YOU ARE A BIG BAD NASTY MOD!
Lmao, Mod yes! Big, bad and nasty, I haven't got there yet. ; p
I always like the guys at the gym that show up 2-3 times a week knock out a few sets on the curl machine and a couple sets on the assisted pull up machine then run up to the smoothie bar and ask what youre taking cause they want to look like you!!!
Lol thanks winning , plp think ya the aas just blow you the fuck up , ok right if they want to comment they need to know that the majority of gains are from the most anabolic substance known to man , FOOD you dont eat you dont grow dont give a fuck what there taking , then training , and finally aas with proper recovery , I get that shit all the time how about the , lets call it 30 year of pounding iron , and drinking shakes that make me gag , but I do it , and power bar , not to mention 6 good meals a day . Thats where the discpline comes in keeping protein ready for the receptors , they want what they want , when they want it , I could go on all day , it hits a nerve ,, good post bro
Haha wow this post gave me that blood boiling angry feeling I'd be pissed! If you hear them saying it in a bad way,(writing off all your hard work and accomplishments for using PED's) I'd probably say something borderline pretty nasty back. Sorry I'm a nice guy but just imagine what they say when your not around. Sometimes gotta set em' strait. More so for the guys mentioned its people at work etc. instead of a random dude in the gas station. Ok I feel better
Part of me wants to go ape shit like that. It's where they contribute all of your gains to steriods, is where it boils my blood. Oh yeah a random person at the gas station would really put me over edge too. I just try to laugh it off and use jokes to cover up my shit. Lol
When I get this, I usually respond with an invitation for them to come to the gym with me for six days a week for the next few years and they too can look like me. Regular folks think that "steroid users" just take a pill and grow muscles. Informing them of what it takes and inviting them along, is a nice way to turn the tables on the conversation.
I too have used this before and it fcking works, most of the time.
It's been my go-to line lately. It puts off most folks, but I'm not as massive as you buddy!
My response is always the same. .. "I take Creatine."
I use that excuse too they look at me like this.
Or this. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw9oX-kZ_9k
Ha! That made me chuckle
I say take the high road and let them know that even if someone took steroids they wouldn't look like you without busting their ass and eating a boring fucking diet day I and day out.. Lol..
Just the other day my best friend in the whole world who doesn't train and has no idea I use gear made a joke and said , " damn you are looking jacked I need to get that Pakistani shit you must be taking " .. I just responded, " haha love you bro, but even if I took Pakistani shit and you took the same thing you'd still look like crap because you go to all you can eat buffets everyday with your wife and don't work out". So I say give it right back to them, but never ever fess up..
reminds of an expression that I think came from a Russian oly strength coach many years ago but not sure. something like," you can feed an ass steroids all day and he will never be a racehorse he will still just be an ass" something like that lol its been a while.
Lmfao. Great response! ! Thank you, for that.
don't worry man, they're just mirin
I hope so, it feels good and sketchy at the same time.
Unfortunately that's just part of the game brother. You know, as a juicer,how easy it is to pick out another juicer from the crowd. It's a no brainer. Right?
The good thing is this...if they have never juiced, they really don't know. They can speculate, but the reality is that the don't fricken know.
When I get the juice blame, I always laugh and say "yeah right". No more explanation just a brush off. I don't owe them an explanation and they really don't know.
Just get use to it big boy, don't worry you have pct coming in about 6 weeks, then you can use those compliments to keep motivated to hold on to those gainz.
Most of the time I'll laugh and say really and thanks, then give them a bicep shot and say damn it does look like I'm juicing.
Excellent reply, I'll re read this thread during pct and then post a thread about how people say i look small now. Haha jk
RustyhookerNever tell the truth. Let them guess in their backwards chicken hunts. Folks that "know"...know. Ftw! Roid users get looked down upon but momma hitting her valium to deal with the kids is the norm. Anyone with commin sence at all can tell who's on and who's not. Still, dont tell the truth...
Haha, " momma hitting the valium", such a stigma haha.
I just tell people I'm on trt from the doc and it sounds a lot better than steroids. There is no getting around it most of us look like juice monkeys.
Lmfao!!
broski you need to look at it in a positive way. if people are accusing you of steroid use then, its working! it would be a lot worse if no one noticed it and you were juicing like a mad man lmfao.. you can always say you take pro-hormones,.. telling people about eating big and working out hard sounds like a fairy tale...
Very good point, I need to take it as a good thing. I wish I knew how to highlight shit, because you have very valid points. Telling people you workout and eat big seems like a lie, even if your telling the truth. Haha
This last cycle I really got that. I am thinking the tren may have been helping to make me more self conscious than I otherwise would be. I often just answer with "yes, I do all of them" lol. I am not overly concerned tho, let the slobs have one up on me, they will be dead long before me anyway..
"Yes I do all of them" that's a good one! I'm gunna use it. Haha
The only one I've ever had that bothered me was a line from one of my 8 year old daughters friends. She just came out and said "my dad said you take steroids and that's why you're do big". I was lost for words......
Here's a funny story my daughter tells me her friends dad ask my daughter why I have my shirt off cutting the grass all the time.. My daughter who is the coolest 13 year old on earth said because my dad is jacked, don't hate .. Lol.. Oh then apparently his wife said if you worked out you could take your shirt off to.. I was dying laughing ..
That's a great response from your daughter.
She's very witty!
Omg hahaha!!
Omg how embarrassing. I would approach the dad and say " come pick your child up, I'm due for my steriod shot." Lol
That would make me furious. i think id say something like "he's just jealous because i remind him of mommies boyfriend" maybe your not that kind of guy though!!lol
If you saw the guy you'd find it funny. About 5ft2 tall, similar waist measurement. Jealousy is a terrible thing ;)
Its always like that man, on here u don't look like much compared to the rest of you but where I'm from I'm way above avg. people just don't take care of themselves here like they do in other places I've been, anthracite region cities are just like that. Its always someone who looks like hell always has and always will who knocks what I've done and am trying to do. i try. to keep that in mind so it don't bother me so much.
Tink22I'd tell them I do. Smile.
You're not lying, it will shut them up cause you don't care what they think. You can't go to jail for admitting it.
Who cares what people think. Thats what we do. Work hard and train. We want to have the best physiques. Some people just dont understand. Or its just pure jealousy
Your right, but the trouble is that they blame every bit of your hard earned accomplishment on some gear that is only
1/10 of the equation. they will never take into account going to the gym at least once a day for longer than they have ever spent in a gym, runnning till your sick in summer heat or all the food that its impossible to enjoy in any way at that point (hardest part imo). its jealous wal mart shoppers who could never be capable of understanding how much hard work it is and even if they did they would never admit it because it would be an admission that you do something they never could, which in effect makes you better than them. I've spent a lot of time of fuming and contemplating this after one guy at work said wow your really getting big and another said "yeah its all those steroids" asnd I'm rreally not even that big compared to most guys here.
Unfortunately, I have to care what people think.
Benny BlancoBecause your insecurities are so crippling you can't help it?
Well you see, I'm a trainer and I work with people. It's important for them to think... ah fuck it, we'll go with what you said.
Benny BlancoLol, do you see that as an issue though? I intend to get into that biz one of these years, whenever I get off my lazy ass and go do it.
I mean, I knew a big ass bodybuilder that trained folks at an anytime fitness.
Soccer moms, country club tennis players, attorneys, etc, etc. These aren't people who understand, mostly. A few of them would get it, but having a clean cut image is definitely a better option. Fox news hasn't told them steroids don't make people crazy.
