Thanks, DK. Not that I attach any sort of stigma to steroids or their use, but when my friend referred to my supps as 'legal steroids' (she was laughing at the time), I honestly didn't feel they qualified for that status. In case you can't tell, I do consider real AAS users to be 'cool' and worthy of great respect and admiration. When I consider the fact that what I take is available OTC and isn't going to result in me being subjected to a search by police, I honestly don't feel it rates the same status. I know people don't use for the status...I'm just saying that I don't see anything hardcore about taking something that anyone can.
That said, I'm addicted to the strength gains, so I'm going to continue their use.
Well, so basically you are saying Arnold wasn't cool back in the day because Dianabol was legal and that steroid users are "hardcore"??
That's totally ridiculous. If you want to know if something is a steroid or not, you look at the chemical build and compare it to other steroids. Some of the OTC stuff is crap, used to make money with fancy names, but some of them are potent oral steroids. Actually, M1T is a lot more potent than a lot of "real steroids", also the side effects are the same.
The only difference is, and that is why
YOU are much more hardcore than some pussy roid users is:
YOU are taking steroids that have NEVER been tested, or have been revoked for being not usable in phamaceutics. They are produced in some supplement company whose standards are FAR from standards for the production of medication for human use.
These steroids are on the market without having gone through years long of testing on animals, in vitro, in controlled double blind studies but are marketed right away.
