How did you guys make your family/significant other realize that bodybuilding was something that you wanted to do? My gf is really against the lifestyle and steroids, and I cant seem to make her realize how important it is to me. What did you guys do to make them see your drive and dedication?
TRUST!
My gf doesn't really like the idea of steroids, but she trusts me to know what I am doing, and to know how much is ok and how much is not ok when it comes to health. She has said no diuretics, and I agree with her. I don't take much steroids when compared to a lot of people.
As for my parents, well, they were very upset when they found out. It's hard trying to convince someone who has their mind made up about the stuff and it's usually only from what they've heard in the media. I just don't tell them, but as I said, I don't take much and ATM if you looked at me you'd proabbly think I was natural.
Sit down with your girl, show her the studies which prove steroids are ok in moderate doses and EVEN beneficial. Talk to her about it.
That said, if you take as much as the pros, probably forget everything I just wrote.
