Title: Hormone replacement versus steriods.
Post by: MikMaq on July 17, 2012, 03:46:07 PM
What would your rather, being known as a steroid user, or being known as a guy with abnormally low test levels with a prescribed dosage.

Assume your under 30 and live in a place where roids are legal.

I'm 53 and HRT myself. Anyone under 30 useing HRT doseages is retarded and won't get much from it.
If ya need to juice , then do the real hardcore crap or say forget it

Obviously hrt makes sense if your over 30 my point is what would be a more acceptable blow to your reputation. Being in your 20's with low test levels, or being a user of drugs.

In my opinion what matters is results and not what some numbnuts might think.
Do what is the best for YOU and screw what anyone else thinks.

Hormone Replacement Therapy is just a PC way of saying you are juiced. If you told the average person you were on HRT, they would have no idea that meant steroids. So, I would say definitely less stigma with HRT, but its the same thing no matter what you call it.

Okay genious, what the hell is testosterone? You take 200mg of test a week, you are taking an outside entity, hence steroids, or HRT as you say in your ra-tardesque world  ::) And HRT can include any FDA approved anabolic--deca, var, drol ,all testosterones, even halotestin. Idiot ::)

So if I do a cruise at 100-200 mg of Test Cyp a week, I'm technically not juiced then? Since thats a HRT doage and all. Its not a steroid, its HRT, got it  ::)

LOL, you are such a tool. Anyone can get a script for all those products, many on this board can  ;). What do you think these "HRT Clinics" do? So STFU for what you know nothing about.

And you never responded about an individual taking 100-200mg test a week. Thats not steroids because its an HRT dosage as "Dr. Chimps ::)" calls it. You are misinformed old man.

Ignorant as fuck statement. Plenty of people under 30 have low test levels and may just not know it. What, did you examine the millions of guys under  30 and their test levels? Don't make such blanket ignorant statements, it makes you look very dumb.

Exactly... 100-200mg test cyp is HRT, but anything higher and you are a hardcore juicer.

So where do you draw the line? That was my question, good Dr.
Youre saying that Roids = competitive BB level? Or does it equal athlete level? Does it equal high school football level?
Is it compounds?

Your line, thats all im asking.

Anything less than 1000mgs of test a week is natty. Don't let anyone tell you other wise.

I'm on HRT. Trust me, there's not a chance I could step on stage with anyone on the hormones the thelamefalsehood mentioned. Simply a pipe dream. He's just talking out of his ass.

Ah, I see.

My feeling, is the line, if we have to define it, would be when your circulating testosterone levels become higher than your highest natural level.

Peak natural test level or less = HRT
Peak level or more = Juicing

Seems reasonable, yes?

Fair enough. Problem is, BB'ing involves, like, 00- x your normal test levels, and then let's add some supra-levels of steroids.

This is true, but the term juicing is not synonymous with BB. Id venture to say juicing is far more widespread in other areas.

Post by: Heywood on July 17, 2012, 06:12:55 PM
As soon as you take a growth drug with the hopes of size or strength, it's  juicing.

Bullshit yourself all you want.

If you're 90 years old and taking it because the doctor needs the hospital bed, then I think you're safe.....

Seriously? Because I am correct and you are completely wrong, I'm the idiot?

Last time old man, any FDA approved anabolic is legal for sale by an HRT clinic, whether they prescribe them or not is up to them.

And irregardless if you take 200mg or 2000mg of test, it's still a steroid. This "wall" just owned you old man.

I always thought the rule was you can use as much of whatever you want and remain natty...as long as its all short ester?

Exogenous testosterone is exogenous testosterone. How many guys, trainers and non-trainers, on HRT would scoff at some BB juiced to the hilt without realising fundamentally they're doing the same thing? I'd bet way too many.

There's hardly a need for a hrt if you are healthy male under 40-45yo. Most would get results of a perfect test levels.

HRT=  steroids.

testosterone cypionate is an anabolic steroid. if you inject this into your body, either in a bathroom stall, or under the supervision of a doctor....you have injected anabolic steroids into your body...period. you may not be PJ braun, but you are ON STEROIDS, just low dose steroids.

the's like saying the guy on oxycontin that gets a scrip from his Dr isn't a junkie, but the guy buying the pills from a drug dealer is...it's a bullshit argument

Modern science allows us to improve our quality of life as we age. This is a positive thing, and a miracle. Are you aware of the health risks associated with low testosterone levels? It's not something to laugh at. I figured someone of your age and wisdom would know this...
