im shocked at how many people are using steroids today compared with 15 years ago.
I train at a 24 hour fitness chain of gyms- not at all a hardcore BB gym and id say @ least 3 out of 5 guys are using steroids and prob 1 in 10 females.
15 years ago, id say it was more around 1in 5 guys and 1 in 25 females
and the worst thing is they all say they are natural ::)
-
there are definitely more and more people on them since the internet emerged.
-
None of the people in my gym are using.
-
where I train in Toronto ... very few
where I train (in winter) in Colombia ... many
-
about 5 people that I have seen now in my current gym. so maybe that's 2-3% of the gymgoers. recreational juicers and wannabe tough guys. puffed up for a while you see them a few months then dissapears when cycle is over. all weak though. neither benches even > 315
pretty pathetic... and they never squat or deadlift.

Just a couple from what I think, the one is a midget with red skin and huge arms but it looks like he's carrying Lake Ontario under them so it's not impressive. the other is just his goonie who is very fat with no shape and pale skin. I do recall seeing this kid that was huge awhile back, I saw him last week and he was very small so I have to assume...
-
none that i have noticed. my prior gym maybe 5%

Where in Toronto?
I train at good life yonge and king. Maybe 1 or 2 as it's a white collar corporate crowd.
I also train at yonge and adelaide, tons of guys juicing there.

I go to the various YMCAs, usually the North York one.
Have a cottage up north so also use the Ys in Wasaga Beach/Collingwood/Owen Sound.

that about sums it up
recreational juicers and wannabe tough guys

I go to LA Fitness. I go in the late morning. So it's a bit of an older crowd (not Wes old) but 35-45 year old guys. And of course some older and ypunger. I'd say maybe 5%. At least that's noticable. Many some are using bad kits from you know who ::)
-
Exactly 50%

Hahaha...
-
I would estimate about 20% of guys between 18-50

Lucky bastard

Back in the day in the early 80's and late 70's bodybuilding gyms were about 98% men. After Pumping Iron when Gold's, World, Power House and others became chains is when women started coming into gyms. Now it seems gyms are 50% women. Since chain places like LA Fitness and Retro cater to regular non bodybuilders steroid use is really low. Back in the day it seemed everyone did cycles. Now the chain gyms are filled with fitness people lifting that don't use.
-
About 2%
-
According to gh15 175% of them are. But know of only one being me since I have my own home gym. But before that went to worlds in PB and it was a legit 99% juicers. Went to la fitness and was maybe 10%
-
Exactly 50%
8)
-
My gym has a no steroid rule so no one is
-
I notice around 2 or 3 at any given time, larger corporate gym.
Probably more, random guys sauced to gills.... but they never look any better/bigger/less obese :-[
-
My gym is full of shapeless fat asses so I'd venture that very few people use. Less than 10%
-
Not many since I go to a commericial gym. I'm guessing around 5% of the men juice. Most are pretty clueless in regards to the topic and probably think that creatine is a type of steroid.
Only last week some guy told me that he has quit taking protein shakes because they were making him "too muscular" and that wasn't the look he was going for. ::) :D
-
Exactly 3.6537 percent
-
a good 30% i would guess
quite a lot of obvious juicers, probably a lot non obvious ones like me ;D
-
Exactly 50%
hahahaha...clever man!
I was thinking the exact same thing! How do all people here know? Only thing they have as a guidline is their own shitty genetics, and out of that judge people!
-
A lot less than in the past in my area.

Is Rick at World's gym still drug free? That's what he used to tell me..lol.
-
Anyone who is bigger then me in my gym.
-
And they all prob pay taxes have jobs and contribute to society. Should be decriminlazed.
-

GOOD ANSWER..
-
None, steroids are illegal hence no one uses them.
-
I ate sweet potatoes today.....does that count?
-
i would think less than in the 80's and 90's because being a twink seems to be encouraged these days
just look at that guy that was the star of the predator remake

Are you doing a survey? Realistically, how do you know they are using PED's. The best you can do is guess about this. I work out at a gym where there are several hardcore lifters. There are very few folks who I would guess are using steroids based on their development, skin tone, and other usual giveaways. Perhaps you just think these folks are using.

theres a fella in my gym that makes me look small

By my estimate if more then 2-3% are, they need to get their money back.

This!

Fucker is 21stone at 6foot, if he cuts for a comp I'd expect him to be 18stone stage ready
-
I surveyed my gym: 36.758393% people are using.
-
Who is so pathetic that they actually give a shit what other people use or dont use?? LOL. I guess its just a sad jealousy that I can't comprehend..

If it's not obvious you're juicing then why even bother?

its the lies and hypocrisy I hate
they still look like shit and "natural" even when they are using steroids so they keep lying

Agreed...If you have the balls to take steroids...have the balls to be honest about it....Don't be a lying little weasel...
