Title: Most erroneous steroid myths
Post by: willie mosconi on August 22, 2006, 11:56:34 AM
Common people are talking about roids more and more because of the scandals in various sports.

So, what's the strangest myths you've heard about steroids from common people?

The weirdest one I heard was that Lou Ferrigno went deaf because of roids

The best one to date is "roid rage". I know guys using 2000mg's of test a week and they are calmer and more easy going then Jesus and his diciples.

The version I heard was that Lyle died from brain cancer caused by taking steriods... either way I call BS, there's no medical evidence that taking steriods causes cancer.

Most of the misinformation I hear/read has to do with lumping all AS into one category.

Like saying AS causes liver/kidney damage -- which we know only happens with orals.

Or AS causes heart desease which only happens with high doses of androgenics like d-bol, AD-50 or test.

Or that they cause LOSS of libido which is the exact opposite of what really happens.

They do cause loss of libido in some people on high doses, they also cause it when you come off. Also your hdl/ldl goes to shit as well when you come off due to estrogen. Its all controllable but most kids today dont even know what there doing

They do cause loss of libido in some people on high doses, they also cause it when you come off.

The key word in your statement is IN SOME CASES. In others it INCREASES libido.


Also your hdl/ldl goes to shit as well when you come off due to estrogen.

And in some cases it controlls hdl/ldl as in those over 40 who have low test. In fact, one of the BENEFITS is that heart desease risks are reduced by 60%. But you'll never see that written in the media. (ref http://www.hormoneandlongevitycenter.com/testoteronetreatments/)

Again the problem being the media makes blanket statements lumping all AS into one category.

He could never admit to that...It would break down his whole foundation...Eventhough, an educated person would know that if you did "experiment" with just a little d-bol at one time it wouldn't effect you enough to make that much of a difference in your overall physique in years to come....

 " steroids will like make you go nuts and put your heads throw windows like Lattimer" is all I ever hear.

 Hahaha...I sold soooo many newbies vitamin b-12 pawned off as Bulgarian dbol in a plastic ziplock bag and showed them the 'Bionabol' bottles but explained I couldnt give them the bottles and they have to except in in the bag because the 'lot number' can be traced and 'my guy' can be busted 'in case you lose the bottle or someone takes it'. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

 I see the TOOLS a week later after explaining to them no more than 4 daily and they all tell me the same thing..."Dude, I swear that shit is crazy...makesme wanna rip someones head off...dude man...that shit is powerful I was like driving and almost had road rage and like...almost punched my girlfriends and like...I'm always pissed off Im gonna go crazy man...damn..."

Exactly.  I knew Adam came to this site so I decided to check out what stuff he was sayin.  Thing is, in real life he isn't THIS much against roids (for obvious reasons...though from my understanding he just tried one cycle of test and didn't think he gained as much as he should have, so he abandoned the juice mentality and swears the stuff sucks).  IMHO, it's better to just own up to past use and stop riding this annoying "ALL DRUGS" bandwagon.  It's really getting very old now.

I can`t admit to something I have never done in my life.  I will give anyone 10,000 dollars pay pal if they can issue a test and I fail. Polygraph,Blood,Hair Sample,Voice Stress analysis,piss.  Anything.

I have never used recreational drugs either.  I don`t care if people do any kind of drug, but I WILL NEVER be involved in that type of shit. EVER.  I think people are mentally weak who use any drug of any kind.

Adam, it doesn't matter if someone tests you know because I have no doubt you are probably clean at this moment.  But a current test does not detect something you took, say, a little over a year ago (ring a bell???  ;) )

no doubt man, there is a counter point to everything, it comes down to the person, and of course one dies the media turns it into a witch hunt. Heres my take

roids make angry people angrier...they dont make calm people any different
roids can speed up or upset an already existing condition or ailment
most people with severe gyno already had it in puberty, also most people have fat deposits on them they mistake for gyno
the list goes on....
