The ETHICS behind using steroids is the main problem I have with the abuse of AAS, not the legality. You are basically admitting to yourself that you are PHYSICALLY INFERIOR or that you lack the COMMITMENT/WILL POWER to obtain goals without using drugs. You are a walking, breathing lie. You are also a DRUG-ADDICT. While not physically addicted you are mentally addicted just as much as ANY alcoholic or heroine addict. Period. Let someone take your gear away for a couple weeks while you are in the middle of a cycle and let's see your reaction. It would resemble a meth-addict being locked up in a room without access to their drug after years of abuse.
I hit 585 for 4 squatting tonight (last heavy working set) at a weight of 204. That's to a 90 degree angle (no reason to go beyond that unless you don't want to be able to walk at age 50). That was just the beginning of my leg workout. I've never, ever used a damn thing. Why? Because I don't want to live a LIE...a nefarious, bold faced lie. Those bloated fools you see walking around that have turned themselves into human pin-cushions are THE DISGRACE of the fitness (yep, and it is about lifting for fitness/health). Bodybuilding today has turned into something it was NEVER INTENDED TO BE. Do you all not understand that? Do you think that, 50 years ago, the fathers of bodybuilding wanted to see people CHAMPIONED who were pushing themselves near death, needing a chemist and doctor to train? Bodybuilding has metamorphasized into something it was NEVER INTENDED TO BE. That's the point.
