    Default My BF Wants To Use Steroids! Help!

    Hey All,
    Okay, as you can tell from the title of the post, my boyfriend has this ridiculous idea that he wants to use steroids. Seriously. Let's get a few things straight first- he doesn't have a genetic defect affecting his height or anything (he's 5'9") and although he's a bit wirey, thats just the way he is built. I've flat out told him that I wouldn't have him any other way except for the way he is, because I adore him, but he seems to be really, REALLY insecure for some reason (though why I can't figure out, he's perfect in my eyes). Not only do I not want him to disfigure himself, but I know that steriods CAN'T be good for the body, it's unnatural. Please... if you guys have any information about steroids or any advice on how I can convince him that he's FINE, please let me know.
    Much love, Lola

    riskes include:
    "For men - shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, development of breasts, increased risk for prostate cancer. "

    does he want kids? i know that spearm thing would make any guy who wants kids think....
    not to mention the prostate cancer thing, does he really want to go through prostate testes and treatment?
    and if you go with the no sex thing, well he can just play with his own breasts...


    from a steroid company:
    (http://www.steroids.com/)

    if the bald, childless, no sex, anal probeing, dosnt alter him, hit his wallet, does he really want to be ripped off?

    "FACT: under federal law it is illleagal to possess or distribute anabolic steroids for non-medical uses. However, heavy demand has generated a black market....
    FACT: the overwhelming majority of black market anabolic steroids contain little or no active ingredients at all. Many of them are couterfeit or completely fake altogether."

    I was going suggest the same thing as miss george and then saw her post..... i agree, search for risks and harmful side effects on google, print them out and let him see.

    Steriods can cause impotence and testicular atrophy (sp?) where the ball's shrink and aren't able to work and female breast development ( in men )

    They can also cause liver tumors, mental disorders, acne, and problems with bone growth.... Steriods also increase the estrogen level in men to compensate for all the testosterone ( steriods ) being put into the body, which cause major mood swings ( basically your BF will start PMSing ) so your BF is likely to become VERY aggressive and moody.

    Like i said do a search........ Anabolic Steriods are hormones your BF seriously doesn't need to be fucking with. I know all too well what its like having an endocrine ( hormones ) disorder..... It can effect many things in your body. This is what i had surgery for, 4 weeks ago and now i have to have a brain scan because they suspect i have a tumor on my pituitary gland in my brain.

    If he wants to bulk up tell him to hit the gym...... pushing heavy weights ( less reps ) a few times a week, only exercising each muscle part once a week. To eat 6 high protein, high carb meals a day and if he wishes, to take muscle gain supplements i e. Creatine.

    Seraya.

    Just say go ahead . It's your body. Try reverse psychology. He might be trying to get a rise out of you.Print out a bunch of statistics for him. That may help him realize what potential effects it can have on the human body if the drug has not been prescribed by a doctor. He might have to learn for himself. Only he can change his thought process. Ask him if this will bring him true happiness. Not pleasure, but, true happiness as a student of life.

    tell him to be a real man and put his time in at the gym. ANYBODY can build muscle if they put their time in.

    Steroids is the pussy way to get muscle, and as soon as you stop taking them, the muscle literally falls apart, and he will ook worse than he does now.

    1 year at the gym 4 times a week will make any young man look like a chippendale model. Besides the short and long term effects of steroids are not good. I know one guy at my prior gym that became sterile, and got a million zits on his back because of steriods. And, he definately had the anger and female breast thing going on too. And, even though his arms were big, he was fat, and looked like shit.

    LolitaBabyDoll-
    If you want to have an impact on your boyfriend's stance, patronizing with "I like you just the way you are." is rarely productive LOL. If he wants to buff up, let him buff up. I'm betting it's the steroids that's the real issue.

    A lot of my fellow bouncer buddies were into steroids, and quite frankly the hype of side-effects was completely exaggerated. If he's considering steroids, he likely knows something about them or knows someone using them, so using clinical worst-case examples is only going to further deter your opinion from being taken seriously.

    Of those I knew that used them, they did enjoy a substantially measurable "ballooning" from their gym time in the form of muscle density/size, with the only side effects being mood swings (occasional fits of anger AND depression) and increased flaring of body acne. The mood swings alone usually caused them to discontinue use after several months, and no- their increased muscle density didn't just "fall apart" but their progress had plataeud from that point forward. Steroids alone do very little on their own, but have to be combined with a rigorous and demanding work-out schedule.

    Steroid use is on the decline as damn near similar results can be had with natural, cheaper supplements that have NO negative side effects, only positive. If your boyfriend wants to muscle-up, he should consider boosting protein consumption through the roof, and take Creatine and Glutamine supplements combined with an HI work-out schedule. Quite frankly, modern day creatine/glutamine regimines can meet or come close to steroid work-out schedules for progress/growth, so it becomes a no-brainer for cost, results and reduced side-effects.
    It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.

    I had a couple friends who used to use them and the risk are big. The things is once you go down this road, if you quit chances are you will lose what you gained fast. If you stay on them then you greatly increase your chances of the serious side effects that have been listed. I do know one person who got heart disease at 29 who was a serious bodybuilder at the gym I worked out at and I know he used them a lot. I never heard how he got it but he stopped working out and taking them soon after than was discovered. My other two friends were on them less than 6 months and have been fine since quiting. They quit because of the serious mood swings, they were flat out losing it for little stuff. I don't know of one good long term outcome from taking them.

    I power lifted for 2 years when I started I could barely bench 200 lbs when I quit I was bench pressing 500 lbs, inclining 415 and my workout partner who weighted only 180 was bench pressing 415. We didnt take any steriods or supplements, just lots of days of hard work in the gym. The funny thing is after doing all that I didnt see any reason in being that strong and cut my workouts back a lot, haha.

    Just get him to the gym, maybe workout with him there, anything to avoid taking them. Have him try some of the safer supplements if he insist on enhancements.

    Building muscle takes work and dedication no matter what.

    Now I dont want to get flamed here... but first

    Ryan, its not the pussy's way out. I know a ton of guys who have done steroids (but these guys KNOW what to take, and exactly how much etc...) They have to work triple hard in the gym to get the results because you wont get big just using the roids. You have to train like an animal.
    Testosterone will give the extra strength (not to mention constant hard ons lol)
    The guys I know look amazing.

    Anyway, there are a ton of horrible side effects if you get the stuff from someone who sells bad shit, but if not, it can help. In fact I know a couple of girls who used clen and anavar and they look great too.

    I dont advocate roids, but I do say with constant monitoring and careful, he wont KILL himself, or disfigure himself.

    If you want information, just go to a fitness forum.
    www.superiormuscle.com (I am a member there) OR www.steriodology.com

    On another note, going to the gym 4 times a week for a year will not get you a chippendale bod. Believe me.
    My father has always been a skinny man, and regardless of what he does, he will always be that way. I can see why some people feel the need, or want to do steroids, but most of the time, they DONT do their research and end up screwing their bodies.

    his body type (wirey) may not bulk up, even on roids. With careful use, roids do not appear to be any more harmful than other,legal suppliments. Long term use though, is harmful. The roid rage , acne, and bad BO are bad side effects. He may want to do some serious research and then try a cycle, with a very rigerous workout/eating schedule to jump start his physique, but tell him not to depend on them. For some guys, it becomes a psychological necessity to get ever bigger. If your BF cant handle the mental part, then he cant handle the physical.
