Would you say great monetary rewards would compensate for poor health and early death? People always say bb is not worth it because there's no money in it so why risk your health? I never saw much logic in that.
Regarding health risks of steroids, Coach mentioned seeing Andreas Cahling recently. He has a certain perspective. I think Coach started steroids at 15 via doctor's Rx.
An anecdote: a lifting buddy told me 30 year ago that he used to sometimes lift with Andreas and they would do GHB. Andreas would fall asleep on a bench and they roused him so he would go to the bathroom to do some blow.
I was being sarcastic, van.

The English language is not easy to interpret even for native speakers.
According to Andreas Cahling, steroids are not harmful,
except for shutting down your testes so you need to be on trt for life.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Now, of course, this happens to long-term users. The old-timers who did a 8 week cycle once a year for a contest during a brief competitive career did not suffer these permanent effects.
Today, people are insane with what they take.
Regarding Coach and his teen use, I'm surprised Dr. Kerr prescribed a 15-17 year old any steroids,
let alone a stack of multiple steroids.
Perhaps Kerr did not and Coach did this stacking on his own via the gym pusher?
Coach, would you clarify this?
Coach, do you think your early steroid use closed your growth plates prematurely?
