dad, do you take steroids?

[tatoo]

well i finally got the question from my son lol.... told him no, never!!.... i dont want him taking this shit under any circumstance, for any reason... any of you fellas been asked this question by a loved one?

[BayGBM]

How old is your son?  Does he train?  People who train regularly know what a natural physique looks like.

My son is 16 and he knows I spent a great deal of time drumming into him the importance of being truthful growing up so when he asked I was honest about it

[Van_Bilderass]

It's a dilemma. Small children you wouldn't have to talk about, perhaps divert the discussion to something else if possible without lying. Generally I think you should be as honest as possible to your family. Otherwise, do you even know your family or do they know you, if everyone lies?

How old is your son? Say his friends say your dad is on steroids, perhaps because their parents have said little tatoos father is a juicehead, and your son argues that no, he never touched steroids. It's kind of a sad situations. The problem, if you're honest, might be how to prevent your son from blabbing about it to the wrong people.

Some kids aren't stupid and completely ignorant. I knew about steroids at 8-9 and it was just based on what I read. I knew all bodybuilders are on them.

That sounds good, and especially at that age, I think even way younger kids can handle the truth. Kids that age are exposed to so much information you can't keep the truth away from them anyway.

Just keep lying your ass of...It's an integral part of being a steroid addict...

i bet when your son looks at that dandelion you call a head of hair its enough to persuade him to make other life style choices....

[Dave D]

I was asked this same question by the clerk at 7-11 yesterday.I laughed and told him no and he said “TRT isn’t steroid use, right?” And I told him I wasn’t on trt either.

Obviously this wasn’t my son or any serious relationship but it feels good telling the truth, even if he thought I was lying.

Haha my hair was going to shit anyway before ever using test

You should have told him you’re on trt; what are going to do when he eventually finds your “stash”? He won’t tell you and he’ll think he needs to use steroids because you lied.

its obvious im not natural but ive never admitted it anyone who wasnt on or has been themselves.. worked for lou ferrigno right lmao? as far as my family goes, its a non issue.. ive been jacked for 20 some years.. ieve always been big to them...they all know i hit the gym, how i eat, been to arnolds, and just general health talk. even if the few times the subject the came up over the years nobody had ever asked straight up until now lol.. as for others i dont care what they think if im on or not.

thats where this convo is heading honestly.. along with the explanation about docs supervision and all that.. tbh i dont think he personally would ever use them, just because bodybuilding isnt important to him.. has no desire to be shredded or have huge lats lol.

[beakdoctor]

 Are we drawing a difference between Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) and Bio-Identicle Hormones?

lol it’s good that he’s not into bodybuilding.

The thing is for high school kids steroids are considered as bad as meth/crack. There’s been some solid advice here for a change though.

Most guys lie about steroid use when asked about their muscles because they want the credit and to have none go to the syringe. I can't imagine any father even a user wanting their sons buying vials/syringes out of the trunk of some drug dealer's car in a gym parking lot. I hope they would want more for their kids that this life style.

[a_pupil]

LARP as a pro from the 90s and tell him muscle-tec products increase my anabolism by 1000% and eating every 3 hours makes my metabolism a furnace.

[IroNat]

Since it's likely you're taking illegal underground drugs sold by criminal sources it's best to not tell in case he blabs.

At 17 though have you told him Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny don't really exist?

[illuminati]

I'm open & honest why wouldn't I be - My sons know.
I've said to both if it's a choice between Alcohol/ Smoking / Rec drugs
go with the Steroids every time.

As you've Run away from the Bodybuiding is a joke Thread
I'll post my same answer to you again.

I'm now in to my 60's & use testosterone - what is it with folk
like you who are so pent up angry about steroids & there usage.

Back in my early 20's when I was power lifting & was not as aware
I won British power lifting championships & set records never having
known about & definitely not used any PEDs. I had a reasonably well
built physique as I did a lot of assistance exercises -
My regret later when I learnt more & got into Bodybuilding & going to other gyms, meeting many Bodybuilders is I didn't take PED's when I was power lifting as I would've of stood a Chance at winning the world championships - going & getting 3rd / 4th place etc & losing by a good 100kg in total didn't excite me.

Now i have to hear old farts like you harping on about Steroids
Have you won National titles & competed for your country ?

I don't like alcohol & cigarettes many do - I don't keep going on
about how bad they maybe.

Well said.

Every one of my friends that took steroids in the 70s and 80s was honest about it.  Perhaps that which most disgusts me are the folks like O'Hearn that flat lie about it.
 
The only thing worse are the ones that take so much stuff that they kill themselves and then claim it was a congenital problem.  I have zero pity for them and even less for the idiots that are openly dying on YouTube and still taking more and more stuff to show just how "dedicated" they are.

It's similar to young homosexuals that try to get AIDS as if it were some badge of homosexual honor that they buttslutted their way to an early  and nasty death to show their "gay pride". 

I also firmly believe that many brofessional athletes take steroids and I cannot blame them because they are actually making top dollar instead of being a bottom bitch and taking it up the butt for a few vials of GH and Testosterone like many (not all) bodybuilders.   If you are capable of making millions (like movie stars that juice) I cannot hold it against you because I would do the same.  Fortunately I am nothing to look at and will never be in a film, LOL!

And yes, I have been somewhat jealous of Draper, Zane, Arnold and more over the years but one look at someone like them and you do realize that back then people built a base and then took the steroids and only the best made it to the top.  Or so it certainly looked.  Today so many take so much and they all truly look pretty much the same.  And for what?

[IroNat]

Great truths:

Mike O'Hearn is Natty.

Arnold only used steroids once and didn't like it.

Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman.

Bhanky has a 19" neck.

I can't stand those that blatantly lie about PED usage - They're the lowest of the low.
As stated previously I've competed & won at National level without Steroid usage & with steroid
Usage.

Pretty much agree with all you said. 😊👊🏻
