i sat in front of the tv when that episode of true life came on and didn't move. it was an awesome episode because i was always curious as to how many people used roids and what would happen to them. i liked how they showed 3 different people using them for different reasons. i always thought that they were just used for the typical bodybuilding aspect...

**williamsvt** · 02-07-2006, 01:16 PM

agreed, however the 3rd guy, who was doing it to be accepted by the public was absurd. He could have gained that muscle by just working out, because he wasn't all that big to begin with and wasn't doing that much weight. the other two guys really showed different aspects of why people do roids and why sometimes it is beneficial.

many people here at RWU use them, and u can tell at the gym, when dudes are putting up 350 on the benches and their arms are bigger then the average tree branch. my room mate says that he can get cycles for 150 bucks and that they arent a hard thing to come by where he lives, *fairfield, CT*....

kinda makes you think...my best friend and i workout together on a regular basis, we are aspiring to be huge of course, and after watching that episode it kind of made us both think about how many people are on something at any given time at the gym. no one is 100% natural these days, everyone takes something right down to just simple protein shakes. i definitely agree that the skinny jocky guy was just an idiot because all he wanted to gain was 5 or 6 pounds and to take roids for that is just rediculous. the first guy that wanted to be on the magazine made some good points about why he was willing to take it. looking the best now because now is when it counted to him and it didnt matter that later in life he could potentially see the negative outcome. you are only young once, but at the same time i like being healthy lol...i am not knowledgable on pricing for roids but if you say your roomate can get cycles for 150 bucks then i assume it is cheap. still looks expensive to me. have you ever thought about taking a cycle? assuming that you are into the workout scene...

I can understand the people who reach their genetic peak and want to take steroids. I have no problem with bodybuilders who do it... Coleman, Cutler, Yates, Ruhl, etc. These guys do it right. They've done their research and also have professionals who help them with their cycles and post-cycle supplementation.

It annoys me when people like the 3rd guy on MTV's True Life use it just to get bigger in a small amount of time. But that's par for the course with our society - nobody wants to work hard for their results. Everyone likes the easy route.

It also annoys me the negative stigma that goes along with steroids... like in MTV's True Life how they covered the boy who committed suicide. There's tons of other cycles that you can run along side steroids that will limit/cancel out the negative side effects. The problem again lies in people. Instead of doing research on the subject before jumping into doing anything, people will just start popping pills or shooting up. These are the people that end up with the negative side effects, both physical and mental.

As far as personal usage, I'm 21. I wouldn't even think about doing any type of steroid (even legal pro-hormones) until about 24. It's dumb to do at a young age. I love lifting and getter bigger... but I'll put my time in and do it right. If later on I reach my peak... then who knows. All total, it's more than $150 a month from what I've researched. You're looking at around $300 (depends where you get it) all total to run about a 10 week cycle of something like testosterone enathate at 500mg a week and then post cycle nolva, novedex, dhea, tribulus for 4 weeks.

roids and steroids are known to be an health issue and can mess you up, but I do look forwards to ricky chiming in though...

i have thought about taking roids in the future, i want to reach my natural gains first and then consider taking anabolics. Working out is my new hobbie, i love being fit, i love going to the gym, and i love watching my body grow...its just a great process...i also love eating right, and all that other stuff....i want to hear what ricky has to say about them and hear more about working out right and all that....

I saw that on MTV, my dad was bitching about the people on the show. He claims that he was stronger than all of them when he was that age and never took anything. I took his word for it since none of them were that big,

. I really don't know what to think of steroids, some people argue that the products are all natural, (ie. creatine) but isnt everything natural to a certain extent? Cocaine is natural but is it good for you? Personally I've never taken any supplements or steroids nor do I wish to. But I'm also not going to bitch at people for taking them, its their choice not mine.
