+ 9 Golden era of HGH??
I remember 10/15 years ago, consensus amongst HGH users was that chinese/generic hgh was a big gamble, and if you werent gonna buy pharma grade, youre probably throwing your money down the drain. Stories of people wasting their money on fake shit, designed to give you side effects you'd expect from real gh, kept me from buying any. Pharma grade was too expensive for me at the time. Nowadays, with the accessibility of testing and the number of sources available, generic hgh seems like it's a much better alternative than it was years ago.
It's like we're currently living in the Golden era of Gear. It's definitely a buyers market. And that makes me really happy --. The gym saves me from myself. Keeps me out of trouble. Without gear, I probably wouldn't be as motivated to stick with fitness/diet goals/protocols.
Thank you Eroids and all it's members and all the sources that keep us swole and grinding.

Truth
As affordable as it’s become, it’s still expensive considering how long you need to run it for. Although, once you see what it can do for you, it’s worth every penny. Especially at my age.
I go to look at Lycra clad arse … if I don’t lift the weights while I’m there I would probably get a criminal charge the mass I pack on and condition I get in … well it’s a side effect I just have to live with
Definitely is the golden era! Its soooooo easy now to buy gear than it every was!
In the beginning, I went to the gym for my muscles, and now for my brain. A whole day at work broken and tired and then I go to the gym and come out like a bird. Both mentally and physically fresh...
I'm happy that hormones and steroids are more affordable because there is a lot of competition, so the quality is better, and we live in the information age when news spreads quickly and both good and bad are heard. At the end of the day, this site also contributes to the filtering of good and bad sources and contributes to the fact that we get quality products.
“In the beginning, I went to the gym for my muscles, and now for my brain”
100% agree with that. Keeps me sane.
Ya for sure, the gym is my life and the gear just is kinda like an extra incentive to keep going hard and also makes it more interesting. When people have the idea that gear is cheating or means you don’t have to work as hard, I laugh, because the reality is when your on gear you work HARDER. You want to get the most from it, you want your moneys worth and you can recover from more work. And I think it helps with motivation and confidence in yourself. So if I can get all those benefits cheaper, then so be it. I just got like 1000 ius for like 500$, no excuses now baby!!!
Excellent point on the additional motivation and increased working capacity and incentives when on gear. I find that it's really motivating to know that you're getting every last ounce of benefit for every ounce of effort.
Side note- I'm sending a fr to ask where you got the 1000 IUs for $500 because that blows my mind haha
This is the thing about training while on gear - it actually makes the training itself a lot harder!! Sure you are lifting more weight because the gear allows you to, but when your Blood pressure is raised and breathing is hampered because of it, then it makes the actual training part MUCH tougher. Throw trenbolone in there and jesus christ it turns things like squats and deadlifts into some kind of torture act. Also when you are natty you are much lighter in bodyweight, so you have less mass to move around in whatever you are doing which puts less work & strain on the heart - oxygen levels in the muscle get replenished much quicker and you are nowhere near as out of breath. You also sweat less natty, & your body runs cooler.
If you do not watch your food intake and keep hydrated 24hrs a day while on gear then you will feel like shit too, if I have to go any longer than 3 hours without eating on gear then I feel really rough where as natural you can push on to 6 hours if you have to. So yep gear isn't a free pass to becoming superman in the easiest possible way like the public think it is.
Also some orals(at least I think that’s what’s causing it) or maybe it’s tren, seem to make my go almost hypo if I’m not eating enough carbs all day. The average person plus most weightlifter who are natty are just soooo uneducated on steroids. My mom thinks I’m natural and she thinks the reason I shouldn’t take steroids is because I’ll start beating my kids lmao. I don’t even know where someone would get that from, like that’s just ridiculous
You might not beat your kids on Tren, but you sure could lose them. I've lost 1 job in the past and 1 girlfriend in the past due to Tren. It all boiled down to saying things I shouldn't say and doing things I shouldn't do. So what did I learn from that? Just lower the dose and still get the good effects and no bad sides!
Trenbolone is a Carb whore and so are orals like Dianabol, Superdrol, possibly Adrol too. When I always used Tren & Dbol my blood sugar was always crashing, I was having to consume tonnes of carbs constantly which was taking up room for more protein a lot of the time.
That fuckin hypo feeling is just the absolute WORST too, start feeling removed and the ability to think straight or clearly rapidly dimishes, often I will get that blurred vision thing where a blurred circle appears in the centre of you vision and spreads out to the side leaving you with a headache afterwards. Then the sweat pours down my back for no reason. Worst ones I use to get was where I would wake up in one and sit on the side of the bed not knowing where I was!! Lol Would take me 5 minutes to try think of a plan to help myself which involved getting to the kitchen to get a drink of glucose powder.
You are not kidding brother. I test my sugar a few times a day with an old school lancet/BGM when I’m using Trenbolone or an oral steroid to make sure I don’t go hypo. It’s absolutely amazing how many more carbohydrates I have to consume on Trenbolone just to “break even”- let alone maintain any type of surplus.
I started incorporating the BGM for monitoring a few years ago after I went hypo on a tren cycle and was scared it was something neurological like a seizure coming on. I started getting light headed AF, feeling like I was about to pass out, etc. Using a BGM to immediately check my sugar when those feelings started coming on allowed me to definitively confirm it was happening because my glucose levels were tanking.
Oh Jesus that’s severe hypo. I’ve only had the eye thing happen once and that was scary. I usually just get kinda weak and shaky and that real super weak feeling deep in my stomach. And that’s super dangerous to get it in the night when your sleeping, your lucky you woke up and knew to eat, sometimes people just fall back asleep and never wake up. If I ever get that weak feeling in the day before bed I’ll have like 200 grams of carbs in a shake just to be on the safe side so I know I have enough carbs to last the night
When its a hypo from just gear I think you will generally be okay, because they are not really aggressive and do not come on overly quick then the body has time to break down its own muscle and fat supplies and burn those off for energy - but when its from the naughty stuff they are totally different. I've had a few of them and they are one of the scariest things you will ever experience in your life - fast and come from nowhere, you always have in the back of your mind whilst you are consuming sugar that if you don't sort this out it could kill you and that makes it 10 times worse. Even once its sorted and stabilised it has a habit of returning 10 minutes later again.
Ya that makes sense because I’ve gotten like 50 times and it always felt the same, weak and shakey and that one time I got that feeling in my eyes I had been on the naughty stuff and it was entirely different and I was driving so I was scared as shit.
Yeah I definitely eat/train harder on cycle. Take advantage of every calorie/gram of protein, hr of sleep, rep, set etc. it all pays off ten fold vs when your not cycling.
When my body is strong my mind is strong.
People definitely treat you differently when you're in shape.
I can't wait for my gear to get here. I'm starting at square one again. It's ok I know in 3 months I'll be looking like a Greek god again lol.
Starting up again is exciting, just when you start losing steam and it’s not exciting anymore, don’t give up!
“The gym saves me from myself” … wow that’s so true. God bless
Ain’t that the truth
@ Steeltoad777 great saying and so true.
I love this Henry rollins quote...
"The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it’s impossible to turn back.The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.”
Thank you for this, I have never seen it and think it’s fantastic especially as I’m going through some shit, thanks
Most definitly!
