i started juicing for self esteem issues. some terrible abuse happened to me when I was a kid. Never learned to deal with them. Self confidence was always in the gutter. Low self worth. My brother for years, was trying to get me to just do a simple cycle. i now understand why. just by doing one cycle, i felt like i was in control. The feeling of seeing my body change before my eyes. The self worth i felt when i started to see results. By improving on my outer appearance, my mental state started to get on track. i became more outgoing. feeling good about how i look in the mirror. For myself, that first cycle gave my life a great boost. Hard to put into words. Steroids have given me a great sense of well being.

Enjoyed reading all of these responses. I juice to feel good. Plain and simple. Lifting weights were a part of my life since 15 yrs old. Did wonders for my self confidence growing up, helped me get a college education by way of scholarship. Juice was an experiment I tried when my playing days were over. Loved it!

Testosterone is a wonderful drug. Now at 37 I juice to feel like we all do when loaded with Test. Superman.

Nice responses. I was just about fifty yrs old five years clean and working 60 to 75 hours a week with a 27 year old wife and never liked being thin. 6 ft 180 or so. I have always worked out regular and really felt like if i was going make a new chapter in my life i might need an edge. So after researching alot i decided i wanted to run a test cycle. I knew that i would have to be upfront with my wife. So i told her and talked bout my research and knew that as an old herion addict if i did a cycle and hid it it would not be good. Anyway..... I have run four cycles. Put on up to 28 lbs. max was 213 and maintain about 205. Lift hard. Work hard. Fuck hard and live much better. A edge for and old grizzled veteran to push my own limits at work in the gym and in the sack... And have a pretty dam happy young wife!!! Why would i not run gear. Thanks eroids!!!

I juice because I like it. Plain and simple. Working out makes you feel good. Eating clean makes you feel better. Test makes you feel best. I honestly can say that without juice, I probably wouldn't find much drive to hit the gym after 70 hours of work per week. Add some juice, even a very low trt type dose, and I feel guilty not only missing an unplanned off day, but eating poorly or drinking a beer. It becomes the backbone of promoting an overall healthier lifestyle for me. And one added benefit is that whenever I am on, my sex drive is phenominal. Nothing makes me more sex crazed than test and proviron.

Because my Dr. told me I have to. :-)
If I stop taking it, .......... he may stop writing my thyroid script. :-0

Road respect. Its the difference between looking like the guy that would be easy to grab and use as a shield during a terrorist attack vs. looking like the guy that might be able to help solve the problem. Its the difference between looking like the guy that needs to keep his eyes on the ground so he doesn't look at the wrong guy's girlfriend on accident vs. being the guy that gets caught looking at someone else's girlfriend and her boyfriend immediately looks at the ground to avoid a confrontation.

Its also nice when some drunk turd at the pub is causing a scene, refusing to leave even when asked and then I look up and calmly say, "its time for you to go my friend," and he suddenly finds Jesus, apologizes and leaves quietly.

Also sex and masturbating are more fun.

Put simply.... To feel better and have a better quality of life.

I juiced once at 22 years old no pct and it completely fucked me up. My adrenal glands were shot, gyno, water weight all that. My hair was even thinning at one point. I said never again. Did the natural think for a few years with a little clen and gh here and there looked pretty damn good. All of a sudden I was losing a massive amount of weight. Went to the doc couldn't find anything so upon reference I took a ride to Baltimore to Johns Hopkins and had some more tests done. The dr. Said I have a condition called eds syndrome a connective tissue disorder that causes arthritis and collagen depletion. I slowed down symptoms with a healthy diet and training but the joint pin became too much. I asked if Gear would help? She said certainty but she will not prescribe them. After seeing my brother suffer from his poor decisions and this disease I said I will not end up the same way. Basically I do it to deal and slow down deterioration. Deca does wonders for me.

I juice becaus Goth juices and I didn't want him to think he could take the remote away from me

i just really like the feel of a cold needle going into my muscles, especially if i hit a nerve or vessel or something, i sometimes like to let the blood seep down then drink it, thats why i juice to be honest.

lol.

This is really cool to hear from those of you who are willing to share. I've been here a few months and am now in the first phases of planning my first cycle this fall. I'm taking my sweet time to read, read, read, and read some more. I'm highly grateful to those who've done the trial and error, then shared their own discoveries.

For me, my own reasons are simple. I have low T, regardless of a good diet and smart training. I really enjoy the challenge of lifting, and the iron has always been a great addition to my life. I've plateaued long ago and it takes longer to recover from intense workouts these days. My goals and protocol will aid in recovery, reach new plateaus, and add strength which will aid me in the physical aspects of my marriage, fatherhood, career, and lastly give me extra steam to kick butt doing the outdoor hobbies that I would benefit from increased stamina and strength (building, planting, gardening, hiking, etc).

Reasons have changed several times. First started using because I pretty much reached my natural potential. Didn't do my first cycle until 42 years old. Then I realized I suffered from low t. So I ended up on Dr. prescribed trt just to function normally. Now I do it for competitve bodybuilding. It all seemed to happen all at once though. Wanted to take it beyond natural potential, found out I have low t, and now stepping on the stage.
