I reckon most of us who first started working out, in our early days, swore to the heavens above, that we would, 'NEVER', take the juice.

But for one reason or another we're ALL taking it. (Or we wouldn't be members of ERoids, right?)

For me? I was sick and tired of seeing everyone else around me growing and getting MUCH stronger than I was. I was doing just as much, and in many cases, a damn sight more than most in the gym. More sets, more reps, more weight. Yet everyone else seemed to be leaving me behind in the growth stakes.

So I asked for, 'The Knowledge", from those big enough to know what they were talking about, bought what I needed and FINALLY started to grow.

I now justify my usage by this simple story.
"If I want to travel a hundred miles the hard way, I'll use a push bike, with two flat tyres and I'll train naturally. But when I want to travel the same distance, in comfort and get to the end of my journey as quickly as I can, the juice I buy is my f*cking Ferrari. The fuel my ride needs to complete the journey is the effort I put in to it".

That's MY justification to myself, anyway.

What's yours???
