Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time when you first started using steroids, would you still choose to use steroids?

One should consider all risks before making such a decision. They're a lot of variables involved and in life, what you want to achieve. TRT is something I think every male will eventually need in life regardless of anabolic androgen use. We see it in the statistics of modern man around the world are in a testosterone decline especially in the US. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to steroids by older guys that knew what they were doing and taught me the right way plus I got so interested in the chemistry part of it I did lots of research and read books about steroids. I think one should gain as much knowledge before rather than listening to some 25 y.o. you tuber that looks like nothing and has no real skin in the game. But if I could go back I would use juice without hesitation

Anyone who cares about eventually coming off for good should not use them at all or consider using things like HCG during your cycle.

I have always taken a very cautious and calculated approach to my AAS use, if I could go back and change anything it would be the opiate abuse that landed me on TRT for life. When I started TRT I figured trying steroids wasn't that big a leap did my research. I do slow, low dose TRT+ style cycles and I'm happy with the progress I've made

I'd never use orals or Tren , No need I don't stand on Stage and never will.

I'd use lower doses and concentrate more on Diet and Sleep and Slow and Steady Hypertrophy .

But yes absolutely I would use Steroids , Human Genetics are stunted we need a boost .

Yes, but I would have did it differently.

Yes. I didn’t start until I was 36 and I built a solid foundation naturally since I was 12. I was smart enough to know I didn’t have the genetics to be a professional bodybuilder so I’ve only used moderate doses. Just enough to keep me peaked out fitness wise. I’ve always got more using less. So I have no regrets whatsoever.

I would have started earlier in life when everything was on the upswing but tried the early pro hormones instead.

The on major thing i would have changed. Is learn more about food and what it can do.. if i would have put more effort into that and understanding what foods my body liked the most and understanding how i should eat... what a difference that would have made when i was younger.

Yes I’d do it again and I didn’t necessarily need to do more research but just have listen to the actual research. I was an ex hardcore drug user so I just thought everyone was a pussy and just saying things out of precaution. But the side effects from gear are much different than the side effects from other drugs. It’s not about if you “ can handle your drugs” or not. It’s just if you take the necessary precautions or not and if you’re just one of the people that get those sides or not. So yes I’d do it again if not sooner but just not be so naive of arrogant.

Yes but later and more reserved

Without a doubt I'd of used gear. I did a have a little dable at 28 and 31 but could of easily not used as it wasn't needed. I was OK with the gains I was making naturally.
At 38 after having a period of time off training I assumed in 3-4 months I'd be back to where I was previously like all the other times I'd had a period of time off. 5 months later after getting nearly no where I just assumed my natty test was definitely not what used to be and started looking for gear online.
That in its self is a fking pain in the ass. Found the only uk source that took a month to deliver. Couldn't put up with that and eventually found eroids through my Internet hunting. I was spending upto 3-5 hours a day on the hunt and educating myself on types of steroids, half life's and esters etc.
Even after finding eroids I was still skeptical cos it seemed to good to be true. After more and more reading I realised it was down to the source you pick, picked 4 uk sources and sent em all an email eith intentions to go with the first to reply. And it's been all good ever since. Never been burnt or bought bunk gear with the exception of some pharma proviron.
Really got to say a massive thanks to BFG for putting this site together, you have saved a load of us the head ache of paying and hoping that it will arrive, arrive in a timely manner and actually do as its supposed to do.
The one thing I would change tho is my first cycle, I can't elaborate unfortunately because it goes against the safety policy, I did 12 weeks of 500mg test cycle.

There was no need to ever use it in my early 20s. It worked wonders for me in my early 30s though when more calculated and precise.

Yes, but I wish I would have paid closer attention on this website instead of simply finding good sources on here and Frankensteining shit

I Def would have spent a few more years at least doing the research...cuz my first ever cycle was when I was a young dumbass (Not ignorant, but a flat out dumbass) maybe 21, no real gym experience, hadn't even began to push myself at any level...and I can say now with humility, that I only knew what the movies portrayed lol
Which was basically, eat, I'm, snort, or keister some steroids and you become instantly strong and meaner and basically didn't need to do shit else!
A guy at school sold me test e, tren e and mast e for $500 (one of each) which I though was a deal haha.
Well, I learned the hard way...especially when he had me running it at 500wk test, 400 wk tren and 400 wk mast...so first came the water weight, followed by acne, then horrible gyno, night sweats, day sweats, tren rage, etc...
And because the dipshit who sold me that cycle I now know, didn't know what the hell he was talking about..I was stuck with some nasty shit going on, no ai..didn't even know that was a thing then lol...so I stopped taking the shit and didn't touch it again until I learned everything I could and then some, and 20 yrs later I'm still learning something new daily on here which is amazing.

I know a lot of guys who ran their 1st cycle and it was all sorts of fucked...that's the price we pay for being impatient and trying to find the "easy" way, when in fact, running a well tuned cycle is so far from easy its not even funny...
Anybody can make a protein shake and hit the weights every fee days but when I run cycles the shits planned out down to the last detail...gotta have your stack dosages and pin schedule, you must prepare meal plans in which you get the essential amounts of proteins, calories, carbs and fats, without or minimal sat fats, sugars, hollow carbs, and make sure you are hydrated constantly.
Then you must have your gym regiments that take some planning (if you are doing it proper at least), , then you somehow gotta find time between gym, planning, work, family, etc...to get 6 to 8hrs of sleep or you throw away the huge portion of gains you'd made that day.
Then once u manage all that shit, you gotta pay close attention to yourself, personality, skin, body issue or pains, anything that can be a negative side effect and treat accordingly.
Finally after we successfully go through hell to build some damn muscle, we get to start our pct which I find more bothersome and detail oriented than being on cycle.
So yeah, I hear people all the time still say that roads are cheating and I get fn pissed....that's like saying saying taking aspirin for a fufkin headache is cheating...
All I know is on cycle, a LOT blood sweat and tears go into it and no body just pins gear and get swole...we work fucking hard

I said no I wouldnt because I never started until I was forced to by TRT through years of abusing my body in other ways. I was always muscular without working out by genetics. The only reason I wouldnt is because you become a slave to your medicine in the long run.
It did help me tremendously get back to feeling better and lost a lot of weight, but I dont like to rely on shit.

I wouldn't have done Tren. Certainly not for years on end, 6 month "cycles". Sure, I felt what it's like to be a god. To be the strongest monster in the gym. To be wanted by women and feared by men. But now I'm on dialysis for the rest of my life, and I suspect the Tren probably played a role. Regrets are a waste of time, but yeah, I would probably do things differently. Then again...
