I'm not advocating the use of steroids, but when used properly they can can be an awesome addition. I'm leaning more and more away from actually using
weights to build my body, and more toward using body
weight only exercises. However, I have used steroids in the past...when it was very convienient for me. I used to be stationed in 29 Palms, CA. when I was in the U.S. Marines. It was about an hour ish from the border of Mexico. I had friends I worked out with who would 'make a run' about once a month for gear. ("Hey man we're makin' a run this weekend, ya need anything?") rofl My personal favorite steroid was Sustenon 250. Came in pre loaded ampules, that were basically ready for use. All that was needed was a sterile 24 guage and you were set. One injection weekly, and I was able to pack on around 30lbs of solid muscle in only a couple months time. I was however a very avid weightlifter at the time, and hit the gym almost daily. Unlike many men who think they can shoot up or pop pills and not put in the effort. It's not a 'get rich' quick scheme, or a short cut. You still need to work.
I liked Sustenon 250 because it not only worked VERY well, with such a low dosage, but the side effects are also very mild because it is a very mild androgen. The worst to be expected on a once weekly dosage is 'maybe' some acne if you are prone to oily skin in the first place. If I had had the chance I would have also tried Deca. Deca is also another very good, but quite mild androgen with similar effectiveness from what I've heard.
Fuck, I wish the whole thing with banning "pro hormones" a few years back hadnt happened. I really really liked ....I think it was called ...damn I dont remember but I DO recal Muscle Tech and a few other companies had some VERY good pro hormones out that very closely mimicked Deca in their effectiveness because they basically converted to the same type of chemicals after passing through the liver.
