Misconceptions about steroids by the general population

I'd say anyone over 35 can get Test legally and live a healthier life for sure.

That is true. Had my test level checked out 3 years ago and it was 250. My doctor keeps me around 900 now am i feel great. Giving blood every 3 months sucks.

Glad to hear that you are at least doing it the legal way and having a doctor monitor your test and PSA levels.

How much weight have you put on since you started on it 3 years ago?

You wont get bodybuilding gains from the 1cc he gets every 1-2 weeks.

This is a quote from a member of another board in a thread talking about Randy Savage's death. Obviously it devolved into a discussion about steroid abuse. While the dangers of steroid abuse are well documented, I'm amazed at the amount of misinformation out there about steroid use.

I don't consider myself an expert. I've never used. I do, however, know plenty of people that have and do use. Is the general population that ignorant about steroids? It seems like everything I read about them looks like something out of Reefer Madness with steroids substituted for marijuana.

How is that a misconception. A very close friend of mine went through a cycle of test and deca and gained 15lbs of what appeared to be pure muscle. He worked out about 3 times in those 6 weeks. It's absolutely true that if you take steroids without working out, you'll build muscle mass.

Not possible to gain 15lbs of muscle in 6 weeks know matter what you take.
Im sure he lost most of that water within 3 weeks since he didnt workout.

He lost a lot of weight after he went off of it. He went from scrawny little shit to having very apparent muscle in his abs, chest, and arms. It was literally a night and day difference about a month into the cycle. He went from 150lbs to 165lbs. Some of it might have been water weight, but a lot of it was muscle. I wish I had pics, because the effects were insane. Nobody in our group of friends could believe it.

I understand the difference in "use" and "abuse", but that was not my question.
200mg every week or 2 weeks for 3 years will damn sure put on size/muscle!
I was just wondering how much his gains are.

I have always taken it the legal expensive way. Now my insurance pays the entire bill. I have put on good size in the last year. I have switched to a red meat/fish diet. Best diet I have ever been on. Red meat is the key to size.

200mg's a week would be decent for sure.
Most docs give around 100mg for two weeks.

dewayne - you mind telling us your dose?

At first I was doing 200mg every 14 days. My test level was around 650's. I went to 10 days and is was 900's. I bumped it to 7 days and it went to 1,620. The Doc didn't want it that high so we went back to 10 days. He would rather me be around 700 but as long as I do exceed 1000 he is okay with that.

So, from what little research I've done on this subject, general T replacement to maintain normal levels can improvle overall health, colesterol levels, etc? Any side effects? I don't want to put on any more muscle, but having more energy, sleeping better, etc sounds great! Do GPs usually know anything about this stuff or is there a speciallist I should check with?

My doctor has me on fucking Androgel. I hate this shit because you have to rub it on your upper body and let it sit for a while. Been trying to get him to do the shots.

He should reduce the dose and not the frequency. The half life of cypionate is such that you should dose it every week. 150mg/wk should get the same results without the fluctuation in levels. That 900 was 3 days after your dose. I bet you get down to 300 before your next dose.
I take 250mg/wk with 100mg proviron and a low dose aromatase inhibitor.

He will get you on the shot.
