I'm gonna say this, welcome to the forum. We are here out a drive and passion to better ourselves physically and mentally as well so that we might be professionals at our craft and share that knowledge with others one day. Learning is a continuum. Constant flow of information in and out like the tide ebbs and flows, we aspire to grow in body, mind and spirit.
The first true step of learning is to figure out where you stand as an individual. You can't think you know everything and be open to new ideas and theories. AAS usage is constantly changing because of one constant: us. As individuals we have undergone a variety of different catalysts in our lives that have determined how we process information, exogenous compounds and dietary change. Our bodies are as unique as our opinions. That is the one thing we can count on for all eternity. AAS compounds are all similar being that they are all derivatives of testosterone with structural changes within chains, however we for the most part know what they do.
So what should we focus on? What is the single most important variable we should place the most importance upon? Ourselves. We should identify where we stand as a test subject, that's what we are after all considering no one steroid cycle is alike as we all put our twist on them. We need to honestly evaluate ourselves as the test subject. Are we a suitable, or ideal test subject? Look at yourself and scrutinize. Be honest. I might want to use AAS for a number of reasons, but I owe it to myself to be realistic as to if any of them are realistic. You don't run gear for the hell of it and think you're experience is gonna be a pleasant one. Know the consequences. Long ago when I opted to take AAS I knew that I would view it as I did all things in my training... as a progressive step. I knew that I'd eventually convert to TRT, but I waited till I was at an age where my test level were on a constant descent versus at a point when I was considered in my prime. I had built a solid base built upon decades of lifting and practical application of fitness techniques and experience. I didn't start lifting late in the game and get impatient and profess to think I maximized my genetic potential a year later. I've been lifting since guys like Gary Strydom, Lee Labrada, Albert Beckles and Tom Platz were still in the game. I've competed as a amateur bodybuilder, done competitive bench pressing and always from an early age wanted to be involved in bodybuilding in some shape or form.
You have to be able to look in the mirror and ask yourself the hard questions and give truthful answers. Am I ready for AAS from a physical standpoint? Did I take the time to get smart on the various compounds and their uses/effects? Am I committed to this long term, or am I simply looking to gain a little muscle to look good? AAS use to me is a natural progression in the fitness lifestyle. Others may disagree due to so called ethics. If you ask me it's simply a matter of not having access and or a fear of needles holding them back, but that's just my personal opinion as I feel we are all prone to do anything we find pleasurable and worth the risk. Pinning gear is child's play to me, but there are tons of people who will not pin out of fear. Point is this, if you're not prepared to go about this correctly then leave it alone.
So back to "us" being suitable test subjects. Ask the hard questions, better yet find someone you trust and think would provide an honest assessment of your physical condition and ability to commit. Get their response to whether or not you should use AAS. Then ask your wallet if this is a viable option. This game costs money and skimping is not recommended, or wise if you want to be successful. There are a lot of aspiring jacked guys out there, but if you're not willing to go hard... go home. This takes years, this takes dedication and commitment. Now ask yourself the hardest question there is... if you find yourself not in the best situation to partake of AAS, are you man enough to wait till you are. You can be a credit to the game, or you can be a shame to it. Grab your number two pencil... time to fill in the answer bro's. Good luck on the exam.
