Title: Why do people take so many different kinds of Steroids?
Post by: The True Adonis on October 08, 2017, 10:01:28 AM
Why do people take different steroids?  Shouldn't just testosterone be enough?

Totally ignorant on this so I expect stupid responses.

if they are smart they do it to test each one out and see which works best for them

doc huge of enhanced athlete is a pioneer in this regard, and "thinks outside the box" which is a very wise and intelligent thing to do

why are people taking steroids to begin with is a better question, with the positive effects being temporary and the negative effects possibly permanent.

If one thinks about it, a lot is based on the love of the exotic, and the thought of more is greater.

There have been lot of guys that have done great things with their physiques with just a few basic compounds, but it's not exciting. Also if you think about the counterfeiting that goes on, especially years ago, most guys were probably running the same small handful of compounds too, just under spurious names.

Perhaps there is something to be said for the placebo effect of names.

Because they are stupid. No need to take so much variety of anabolics. 1 compound is enough. I never took more than 1 anabolic at a time throughout my competitive years.

My experience..

Test- great base drug

Deca- gained slightly more muscle on it then test and blood markers were better

Winny - actually does thin the skin it's used in angiodema, so best precontest

Tren -  better gains then deca and no water retention

EQ -  great pump and appetite no bloat so gains were small

Primo - ok gains were minimal cause of no water retention

Some drugs cause sub-q water retention (evil for example), some don't (Winstrol),some cause intracellular water retention (Anadrol for ex.). Some drugs decrease SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Gobulin; Trenbolone, Winstrol, Proviron, etc..), some don't (testosterone). Some drugs affect liver production of igf1 (devs, Trenbolone, etc...), some don't (test). Some drugs aromatics (test, 0ea, sol, etc...), some don't (dht- derivatives, such as Winstrol, Anavar, etc... Some that arnt dht-derrived such as Tren. Even though its a 19-nortestosterone  derivative).

There's only so many androgen receptors but not all drugs bind strongly to the AR, and some may have anabolic activity outside an androgen receptor (Anadrol). Some bind strongly yet have very little anabolic activity (for, halotestin, Proviron, etc...).

Better to cover all your bases and know whats gonna help you achieve a particular goal.

What if one would only take one compound like Proviron? Any real effects or wasted money and unnecessary stress on the system?

Sounds too dangerous to even sort through all of that which makes me wonder why someone would be willing to go through all of those drugs just for a slight gain above just sticking to Testosterone or something. 

Is there really a benefit to using so many drugs rather than just one?  How would you know which one is doing what if you are taking so many?  The way I see all of it, its a Pandora's box with no Scientific Data available really to point anyone in the right direction.

For what its worth, its pretty easy to tell when someone has a physique that is all drugs and nothing else.  Everyone one I have ever met that has used steroids of any kind, never bothered to max themselves out naturally.

Try trenbolone ace, testo prop and winstrol for cutting. Change it to dbol (instead of winstrol ) for gaining. As much gh you can afford. Add slin in if you want a big stomach. Iv'e been in this game for 21 years.

i suppose its the same as for supplements, you need to mix that shit up, stack that shit

first you get the aminos

then protein powder, you want to mix that shit up, not just whey but casein, egg, pea protein etc

gotta get som pwo in there, maybe mix one for energy one for pump

then a good post-work out a good protein and carb blend

something to help you sleep etc

I get accused of using steroids on a daily basis from steroid users and even a few NPC competitors.  So you are wrong there.

Plus, people have accused other lifetime naturals of steroids so your premise is shit.

I have no idea why you are posting something that will make people think you look like you use steroids when you dont, its sort of fishing for compliments.

Let me put it this way
If you train natty for ten years or use steroids for ten years, after 6 months of stopping training and using you would look exactly the same.

Oh, I see what you are saying.

The point is never stop training.  Also, you seem to be using them more intelligently than nearly anyone on here and not just shooting fish in a barrel.  What do you think separates you from most who just blast themselves with tons of drugs, only to look awful with a myriad of health problems?

You see them as merely a tool to enhance and not as the foundation, correct?

You would still train with or without right?

I took a look at your instagram - always though you were just a troll. Could have done without the torn open ass-cheeks... have you fully recovered yet...

Never been a troll. Generally speaking I just respond to ppl.

You Q about just 1 compound. Proviron is a bad example, btw. (I wouldn't even consider Proviron a "steroid", although it very much is. I typically Thu k of it as something "extra" to compliment the actual "steroids" being used) Proviron alone will do little more than increase your sex drive and give you spontaneous hard-on's like you were 12yrs old again, but do next to nothing for muscle growth/recovery. Provison will inhibit shbg, allowing for more free/unbound testosterone in the bloodstream. That in itself may help recovery, but nothing compared to even a small dose of say, 50mg test a week (vs 50mg Proviron... Even 100mg per day).

You can get by with just 1 compound. Depending on what compound, and depending on what the goal is, but the results won't compare to using multiple, even 2 compounds.

The mg's used don't compare really, either. 1000mg/wk of test cyp don't compare to 1000mg/wk of Tren... Or EQ... Or 1000mg/wk of dbo... Or even 14mgs/wk of methyltrienolone (yes, fourteen)... Etc etc...

The results from 100omg test per week won't compare to, say 300 test and 300 Tren per week, even though its 40% less. Even at 50% less, maybe 300 Tren and 200 test a week will be better than 1000 test alone.

Orals are a different story as well. Orals generally are more effective mg per mg than injectable. 50mg/day Winstrol will produce better results than 50mg per day injectable. Most likely due to the orals having a greater effect on the liver releasing igf1 than the injectables. (Not sure where to even get injectable Winstrol. I suppose I could make it, but it'd be in oil. Not water, like its typically made, and I'm not sure what concentration is possible. Last injectable winny I used was the 50mg Zambon amps and I believe the 100mg/ml micronized 10ml bottles from Denkall. The risks with water-based shit like winny is too high for me to consider using or producing). Conversely, many guys say they like injectable Anadrol compared to oral. I've never used it however.

If you're just gonna use 1 compound, I'd always say just use test.

only ones i havent tried are halo, turnibol and primo

maybe you could design a cycle for me  ;D

i will have winny, deca and test e

the test e is only fof replacement purposes and i will run it somewhere btw 125-200 mg per week

True however they wont be big to begin with and would be weaklings.

I am a genetic weakling and lift baby weights. Bodyweight exercises are quite heavy for me so i get a similar benefit whereas someone genetically strong it might not work as well because there isnt enough load.
