+ 10 The Risk: how do steroids Kill
Probably old news to some and maybe new news to those that just did not understand the risks or who we're never told the risks. I'm not posting this to scare anyone off obviously 2021 was a pretty rough year for our sport with the amount of high-profile deaths but. I remember a mod or remember posted some information about a link between tren and Alzheimer's. I researched it and that's all it took I haven't touched the stuff since. Anyhow
The link posted is a very long read but we should all understand what we are getting into and what risks are involved. You can also download it by PDF it appears.
I guess if I had an overall point to make, it would be to not crap shoot your life away. Enjoy the ride, take it slow. or an unexpected destination might come a little sooner than you think,.

"Factors which may contribute to morbidity and premature death in bodybuilders. There is little epidemiologic research investigating significant morbidity and mortality in bodybuilders, but case reports and anecdotal evidence suggest a number of causes. These include myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, kidney failure, epilepsy, and suicide"

Good for you man. It seems like you're in control and are in tune with your body. You're the type of person who is responsible enough to use gear. So test only huh? Nothing wrong with that, in fact more than likely safer. I love to hear stories like this seriously.
Now you mentioned some things about your clean diet which does help with bp, cholesterol etc but as you know if these things are hereditary like with me, then that's a whole other story. Lol in that case you have to really be careful because from the start there were issues. You don't want to be that guy who has a family history of cholesterol, bp issues and run huge amounts of gear while on a horrible diet, that's asking for trouble! But absolutely a good clean diet will help regardless if you have hereditary issues or not. Good info!
Good question. A lot of the research and statistics seem to come from, aas user bodybuilder, vs. Natty or extreme sport individuals. Honestly it's just sad when you hear about a local story of a 19 or 20 year old who died from some random freak adverse effects from the gear. I just think it's good to start slow, keep it slow, and know what you were getting into in terms of certain compounds and the possible outcomes. When I read about the possible connection between tren and Alzheimer's. I realized it's good to keep ourselves in check every once in awhile and make sure we are taking things as serious as possible I know that the gear can be fun but.
On my third cycle about 12 years ago, I personally had an incident, I was never checked out for it, I finally realized that I had a mini stroke and or seizure. It was crazy. Luckily that hasn't happened again during any of my future cycles from that point. But I just know a lot of the younger generation are getting into the sport.
And I think it's good to keep ourselves in check, again I just think it is good to start slow, see how our body reacts, the more I researched it over the years the more I would back down on the gear, put more time in the kitchen or the training. Apparently prostate cancer is a serious risk, how we can combat these adverse effects I'm always open to learning

Well said brother. There seems to be less focus on the kitchen, sleep and the gym but more focus on juice. It should be the other way around.
It "should" be, yes. Regardless we all run a risk, I'd love to see more emphasis put on how to combat those risks, and or what the risks are in general. I have a nephew who was thinking about starting gear at age 22, he laughed and said over half of his college football team are on gear. I was just a little surprised
My man you shouldn't be surprised by what your nephew told you. The shit is very serious especially at that collegiate level when they're trying to get to next level. It's crazy man. I remember a group of athletes were asked if they would use steroids if it would help bring them success or a gold medal in whatever particular sport but as a result, 5-10 years would be taken away from their life, do you know those athletes chose the gold medal or success!! That says alot.
Strange report considering all the bodybuilders in 70s, 80s, and 90s used tren and are still alive and doing great. Lee Priest is still loud and calling it our in real time. Even Arnold was running tren as its not in anyway new. Made governor, actor and still relevant. The heart and cardio issues can be multifaceted considering the times
The plaques are only 1/2 of what we know can cause Alzheimer's so it explains them not actually developing it but what seems to be the conclusion is we're putting more work on our body's to clear these extra plaques among the other negative health effects is the tren really worth the potential risks? I think it's something people need to be aware of as jokes like "mike o'tren" run the internet without the negative sides of the drug. Derek from more plates more dates won't touch the stuff because of the plaques either
You could be very well right, and the risk may not be a giant Factor because of how many things it all depends on. I really can't take either side of that argument, because some of the statistics are gathered from a small pool of people like only a thousand. What I do have control over is to make rational decisions concerning risk versus reward, gathered from personal experience, research, and blood work. I honestly didn't know Arnold ran Tren, regardless everybody is different. It will be nice if we all had his genetics that's for sure
Me for example, if I could go back in time. I would have bought the portable blood pressure cuff at the drugstore. Use it all the time in accordance with different compounds or dosages and training. I now do this daily the past few years, but I do wish Ive realized certain things a little sooner or given serious attention to.
