I believe in yin and yang. My chick has fake teds and some other minor cosmetic procedures. I’m the rock in the relationship while she’s the wild one. It’s perfect that way.

Starting taking gear at 27 and enjoyed every second of it. haven't had a single health problem from it and never took yolo doses.

All I can say is don't believe a single word about gear use on forums (especially the misc) as everyone reacts differently to different compounds

I don't know where to sauce and don't want to end up with some bath tub mix full of heavy metals and baking soda.

My natty levels are too high for TRT via the dr in the UK.

depends what your goals are

gear won't turn you into an ifbb pro nor make you look like a mass monster 1 cycle in or ever depending on your genetics

Because I'm genetically prone to acne and balding, also have a history of heart disease and high blood pressure in my family (then again not sure if the heart thing is because they eat a high oil diet, I have zero health issues myself)

Otherwise I would of blasted gear a long time ago, then again I might jump on a TRT dose once I hit my 30's, low dose test is pretty safe generally but would need to do blood checks regularly to make sure.

The forum rules specifically say being natty is the only legal way to post.

The misc is ironically one of the most uneducated places on the internet when it comes to gear. The forum rules obviously don’t help, but jesus some of the BS I’ve read on here made my eyes bleed.

Androgens age your skin and thin your hair, both of which are way more important than muscle. Not to mention the whole decreasing your life expectancy thing

I am prone to getting acne. I've been clear for a few years and feels good mane. Scare I'd start breaking out on my body and face if I start
And also the hair loss. Maybe when I hit 40 and can find reliable source I may consider it

I go back and forth and could never pull the trigger. I know I could look insane with celltech but I know myself very well and I would never come off, i also dont feel like risking fertility for vanity with reinforcement from cult like social circles it attracts. What difference is that to a tranny?

1) it's a felony
2) you don't know what you are getting, was your stuff made in a bathtub then smuggled in some guys ass? Probably. What are the long term effects of injecting this crap into yourself, we dont know
3) Negative health effects - YES, ask a real doc who works in this field, androgens cause a number of problems, mainly being cardiovascular, Misc docs will say otherwise but they are uneducated, watch the "anabolicdoc" on youtube, an actual MD who works with the roid population.
4) Constant pinning - not fun, if you are doing it right you are injecting every 2-3 days to keep your levels optimal, after 8-12 weeks this sucks
5) Post cycle depression - you can't stay on forever, but you will miss it when you are not on, this can lead to very negative mental health
6) Potential for total natty test shutdown/reduced ability to have kids

Hopped on TRT for life over a year ago. Froze my sperm in case I become infertile.

Got a 3,000 graft hair transplant 1.5 years ago. Not taking finasteride so I’m getting another 3,000 grafts to be set for life.

Feel like I’m 18 again since I’m on growth hormone as well. It’s fukking amazing.

Correct, easy as hell in Canada and if you are in europe should be quite easy also. Do some digging.

I am currently natty, done some PH and oral AAS cycles and it's night and day from natty. My Dr said I can go on TRT whenever I want but at 35 just not ready for that yet.
Maybe after a few bike rides I will.

If you aren't competing on stage what's the point? Unless your pushing 40 and ur natty test lvls are declining I don't see a reason to take it unless you are competing/ work in the fitness industry.

a years worth of syringes are more expensive than the gear. the cost of 2 or 3 months worth of protein will get you a years worth of test to keep you at slightly above average levels

I was worried about the hair line thing but my dad is 50 and his hasn’t reversed and my moms dad hairline is intact too I’ve always read that it just speeds up balding for people who have that gene,

I feel you on the organs
