Testosterone levels increased from what to what? just want to know, since i may be interested? androgel is a prescription drug? i was more specifically talking about supplements. supplements are usually non-prescription? usually if u need a prescription, then they are a drug & not classified as a supplement?

Injectable testosterone cypionate is legal with a script , i tried the patches and gel and didnt do what i needed , shots work much better with less side and much more convienent

. And props to you for exercising your right to write freely. Personally, I think the government spends way too much energy trying to protect me from myself. Don't think they care if I get stronger though.

The only thing that worries me is if it wasn't you who PM'd me about the tinfoil hat, who was it?

JJ. I am all for whatever works. My doc said I would have test spikes with the shots. Actually I was going for shots. I have zero side effects, have built mass and energy and my wife is VERY happy. Not exactly but close to the fountain of youth. I am 59....
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

not trying to make any one upset. & from what i have been reading, i have not. but, i was talking to supplements that increase the bodies potential to produce its own testerone! androgel is a prescription drug, not a supplement. glad ur getting what u need from tes cypionate & androgel--- that's awesome!! may be doing the same thing in future!!! not judging & am willing to test my options. think it's gr8 that we can make decisions in this country for our own welfare (bodies).

& cavemanmoore, still don't need tin foil hat! but thx!!!
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

I think the general opinion summary is that OTC hormone boosters are dangerous. Just buy a Corvette and get a 25yr old girlfriend instead

studies have shown both increase Test in males over 40...

the "prohormones" you're talking about are no differant than illegal steroids in the way they work , they DO NOT cause the body's production to increase other wise their would be no need for a "post cycle therapy"!!

natural test boosters like tribulus , zinc , D-aspartic acid and so on cause the balls to produce more test naturally but they damn sure arn't gonna get the results that prohormones or designer steroids or whatever else you want to call them are.

the reason that the real testosterone was mentioned was because of the less negative side effects and better long term results over the "legal steroids"

you need to learn the difference between "hormone enhancers" and "hormone replacement" weather it be OTC or via a Dr's script
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

don't care what u want to take. i was just pointing out that there is a difference b/t supplements and prescription drugs!
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

lon,
No big deal. The discussion was sort of pushed to the prescription testosterone by my comments. Us older guys are lucky that it is available. Bottom line every poster on here has the same objective: stronger, etc.....
BTW, I had an '07 Z06 as mentioned above as a test booster. Didn't help at all. Must have been the 58 y/o girl friend at the time. I couldn't find any 25 y/o's that would date me. Maybe that was the problem!!
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

cool! intersting topic! appreciate the discussion! i may be in the market someday (all legal of course). as i'm sure u guys are doing. have a gr8 night!

Stood on my Docs balls !!! ...he pulled up my charts from previous visits and levels were down and I have gone from close to 175# 2 yrs ago to 158# Today .......so he said No Problem !! and perscribed the Androgel 1.62
Thanks for all the positive input from you and the rest of the folks on here , hope I can turn things around now !!

How long did it take you to notice it start to work ??
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

That is great!! About 2-3 weeks. How many grams per day did he prescribe? I am taking 4-6 gms per day.
You will notice a big difference. Be prepared to gain mass, lose waist fat and make your wife happy.
What a great outcome!

Re: Steroids Anyone ??

I never use any type of steroids for building the muscles or fitness.
These steroids are not good for the health and fitness and have a lot of side effects for the health.
These steroids should always be avoid if you want a healthy life.

having a low test level is far more detrimental to your health than supplementing with a <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">PRESCRIBED</span></span> dose of testosterone that a fact plain a simple , to many narrow minded dipshits read into bullshit propaganda that the media spreads about how deadly steroids are , if they are used <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">PROPERLY</span></span> they will only benifit your health.

<--- Showing my age a bit here, I got to thinking the other day about "what ever happened to Dan Duchaine?"

Remember him? <span style="font-style: italic">Underground Steroid Handbook</span> - well... Dan's dead @ 48. Any more info on the cause of his death and if / if not his use of anabolics contributed to his passing? (Yes, I have read where some are saying it was related to a genetic kidney disorder)


Good luck

I have zero doubt that Duchaine's death was greatly sped up by his steroid ABUSE , if you have ever read some of the doses he did of some highly toxic chemicals , things like anadrol , halotestin , trenbalone and several other harsh drugs I'm impressed he made it to 48!!
I'm friends to two old school body builders , the did abuse some drugs back in their day but for the last 30 years !!! they have been taking 300-400 mg test a week , both of these guys are in their late 60's and are healthy as can be both still maintain a shocking amount of muscle for their age
granted these gents eat good healthy food , don't smoke and take measures to stay healthy. their doses are definatly higher than anybodys HRT dose would be so in actuality their are abusing the drug , not to the extent most chemically enhanced bodybuilder do but still.

if you saw some of the doses of some of the guys trying to get their procard you would swear I was lieing , 3000-4000mg a week , 15-20 iu HGH a day and 45-60 iu insulin a day !!
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

@ JJones - yeah I remember following some of Dan's work. In many senses it was a pioneering as it was potentially self destructive. The reason I was thinking about him is that media commonly shows us the cases were it went bad, but rarely (if ever) are the l_o_n_g term users that are healthy ever qualified or quantified. The negativity surrounding use is very one sided and therefore deceptive.


Good luck

Re: Steroids Anyone ??

good lord anyone that takes steroids without needing them medically is an idiot. you may get lucky and not have severe side effects with it but thats all you are is lucky. i see guys in internal med all the time for steroid related problems. theres many reasons why we don't even like using corticosteroids for very long and anabolic are even riskier. bad, bad idea. the risks do not even come close to outweighing the benefits. you might think they do when you are healthy, but once you start having effects youll think otherwise, trust me. do it old school folks, with hard work.

if you need them due to low testosterone thats a different deal altogether. but still tread carefully.

Several comments in their tell me you have very limited and very old data to back up these bogus claims , you "knowledge" on the pharmacology of ANY steroid anabolic (testosterone) or catabolic (cortisone) leads me to think what you see in hospitals is limited to that of an orderly.
Im willing to be you still think that whole eggs raise cholesterol and Quaker oats are the cure for that
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

@ Rustydog - given your opinion on the matter, what percentage of athletes in London next week will have used performance enhancing drugs to get there?

Do you think it is possible that under medical supervision, the level of substances and the combination thereof can be balanced against a diet and training program and thus optimized for a specific result? Do you think that there is enough knowledge about the subject to achieve the result without doing harm to the body?


Good luck

Not Rustydog , but in my oppinion and from all the lab work i have seen yes a persona can use anabolic steroids at a significant performance enhancing dose for a very long time with little to no health risk providing they are paying attention to their diet , training and micronutrients.
The problem is like the old bodybuilding sayin goes
"you are only as big and strong as your dose"
and their is some merit to that , once you reach your genetic limit you have made as much muscle as your body can sustain with the hormones it produces along with perfect eating and training. Yes you can still make gains after this point but their will be miniscule in compairison. If the average healthy 30yrold male has a healthy test level of say 750 and he has reached his natural peak , with a dose of only 250-300mg of exogenous testosterone a week he can have his test levels 1200-1500 , that will certainly increase his muscle mass and that dose is reasonably low and will likely have minimal if any negitive side effects but will have a profound effect on his strength.

Some steroids have a detections life of a very very long time others is very short and difficult to test for.
HGH is only detectible for about 5-6 hrs as far as i know and thats only checked by what the body IGF levels are , an anthelete can take 5iu HGH with 10 iu Humulin-R 3 times a day and completly mutate his body by adding on a HUGE amount of dense muscle mass , Ive seen it happen! a 37yr old friend ran this protocal for 10 months and when from competeing as a middle weight to competing as a light heavy weight body builder ,the actual weight gain was 23 pound i think and thats actual lean muscle!!

For every rule and test they make thousands of people are working on a way around it

I love all the "experts" who encourage people to "do it old school". They have no idea that doing it "old school" means doing it 17-alpha alkylated. PED's have been the dark secret of all things fitness/athletic, since the 1930's. People who argue this do so because they are ignorant.

The world would be a better place if most professional athletes training, diet, AND supplementation regimes, were common knowledge. TRT is just the start of the general population embracing what professional athletes, especially bodybuilders, have known for decades: Science has the ability to build a human body that performs better, for longer.

Re: Steroids Anyone ??

Yep Hitler was doping his Olypic athletes and some of his soldiers with Dianabol and test suspension way back then

performance enhancing drugs are not uncommon , it seems that just in the last 20 years it has seemed that they are new simply because they have better and cheaper ways to test for them

If negitive side effects were presant at that dosage then i would suspect that somthing wasent done right , yes HPTA will be down regulated but this is corrected by proper dosing HCG wich will also GREATLY reduce negitive side effects in the PTC phase. The negitive side in the PCT generaly come from the period when the HPTA is trying to re establishh its balance and in this time frame (up to 8 weeks somtimes) the testosterone leves are very low do the previously mentioned down regulation so the estrogen is the more active hormone , this is what leads to bad water retention , the onset of gynocomastia , deperssion , acne...
Its actualy the elevated estrogen level you get when you take doses of test that raises your level above natural levels , the body want to maintain a balance and when it sees this radicly high test level it produces alot more estrogen to try to reach a balance , most of the time its not that big of an issue simply causeing soe light water retention , mild acne and possible gyno but if the estrogen levels are held in check then the negitive sides are nearly eliminated. The above entioned elivated estrogen levels are what cause the nasty PCT because they are still very high and all the sudden their is NO test in the system , but again when done properly these things are greatly reduced and even eliminated.

Now im not condoning the use of steroids illegaly , im just saying that their is alot of missinformation out their and alot of this is due to people not using them properly
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

Exactly right on with the HCG, but most guys don't even know what HCG is, let alone what it can do for you. Most do enough reading to think a serum is all they will need and all will be good.

I wish steroid use was more in the open so all of these teens would quit screwing themselves up buying legal designers that are marketed as supplements instead of what they really are.

Im training two guys (16) now in that are making better gains on nothing more than proper diet and training than several of their buddies that are on the sauce.
These kids dont want to bust their ass and eat deciently so they look to these OTC sups as a crutch and their parents dont care cause its legal , never mind their kid is gonna blow his liver or kidneys out.

But i will say that alot of grown men are the saem way with steroids then think of it as a crutch so that dont have to work as hard or eat as well , those are the dickwads that cause the media frenzy over it
 
Re: Steroids Anyone ??

ANYTHING can kill you if you over indulge. You can die by drinking too much water. Aspirin kills more people a year than steroids. Every medication has a benefit to cost ratio and it is up to you to decide if it is worth it.

Steroids are illegal and I am a cop, that is the ONLY reason that I do not take them.

Educate yourself before you just run with the "steroids are bad" stereotype.

It is disingenuous to say that that is safe too. I take it because my level is low due to significant injury that required pain meds. Those will kill your T level btw. In fact, the risk vs. reward is so high with T that it is classed like a narcotic even though it has no real addiction potential.

The shot can destroy your kidneys too. That is the number one risk. Everytime I got my shot at the VA (until I fired that douche and just did it myself) he'd ask me if I had difficulty urinating. And in the beginning, yeah, maybe a little. I was worried I'd have to stop.

It can cause prostate problems and cancer also. It can shut down your own T production over time in much the same way prednisone can shut down your adrenal system (which is lethal).

Steroids are indeed nasty, nasty stuff. Use at your own risk, and I'd only use it if I had to.

On the upside, there isn't a damn thing over the counter that will help you lose 50lbs in one year, grow back hair and feel like a 24yo infantryman again. The only thing that did that was the T shots --I went from 265 to 215 and counting since January, it just fell off. I also developed metabolic disorder: gout, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. All that went away (or is going away). So for me, the risk was worth it.

I'd strongly advise, and I mean this with the strongest possible ADVICE (and I'm not a doctor but this won't hurt you so just do it) is to get a liver panel done and check kidney function if you use T or any of these unknown "naturals". Natural doesn't mean safe, F'ing ricin is natural FFS! You can get labwork done at a phlembotomist for like $50-$100 at most if you just go in and do it yourself. You can check your numbers against the range online (if it doesn't come with that). If the numbers are inside the range, don't worry. If not and you don't understand it, then call the doc. Then you will know 100% if YOU face a risk.

If you have access to VA, just call and tell them to set up full bloodwork and they'll do it, but caution, they don't pay attention to the results very well and you may have to prompt them. I went 8 years before they caught the T and it never occured to me that was the issue.

If you inject T, you should have this done a few times when you start it and then every so often. I get my blood done a couple times a year no matter what.

Please be safe.

Aspirin kills more people a year than steroids. Every medication has a benefit to cost ratio and it is up to you to decide if it is worth it.

Steroids are illegal and I am a cop, that is the ONLY reason that I do not take them.

Educate yourself before you just run with the "steroids are bad" stereotype.

Re: Steroids Anyone ??

A buddy of mine in his mid 20's did a run of test and trenbolone trying to get back in shape after a bike accident, he stayed fat but I remember his strength went up something crazy, I think he started out benching 135 for reps and ended doing something like 315. Didn't lose any fat though, I think he was actually fatter when he was done.

How stupid !!!! does he have any idea about the kidney toxicity of trenbalone?
It baffels the hell out of me with the guys that insist on taking some shit thats pretty damn toxic to the body just because they are too fuckin lazy or undedicated to put in the work involved.
"i had an injury" , "i have bad knees" , "i dont have the time" , "i don't know what to eat" along with about 5 billion other weak ass excuses ive heard people use to try to justify using excessive steroids or just being fat.

If you truely want somthing , you will make it happen , if you dont you will make excusses.
