Internet steroid myths
(DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.. I AM NOT ADVOCATING OR ENDORSING THE USE OF STEROIDS OR ANY DRUGS.. THE OPINIONS STATED IN THIS POST ARE THE OPINIONS OF A FICTIONAL EXPERIENCE AND THE FICTIONAL EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE I DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY KNOW. DO NOT TAKE THESE OPINIONS AS FACTS OR DIRECTIONS OF DRUG USE!! DO NOT TAKE DRUGS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE RISKS THAT MAY POTENTIALLY HARM YOUR BODY)
I just wanted to cover a few topics based on Internet Myths related to steroid use that are NOT practiced outside the internet. This does not mean these procedures are not necessary under specific conditions, OR for specific users, it's just an overall judgment of real world experiences in relation to the ironically inaccurate information presented on the internet.
*Aspiration
Have you ever been to a Doctor and had an IM shot? Doctors NEVER aspirate when giving IM injections. This is purely an internet thing. If you ask your local Doctor about Aspiration they will most likely tell you what they have told me. It is very unlikely you're going to draw blood into the syringe if you're using correct injection procedures. If you're randomly injecting with your eyes closed you could potentially draw blood but it is very unlikely making the procedure or aspiration completely useless. If you do accidently inject into a blood vessel or hit a vein you will experience mild/moderate PIP (Post Injection Pain) and some numbness in the limb.
Do a YouTube search of Doctors (LEGITIMATE DOCTORS) giving IM injections and watch the process. They NEVER aspirate. It's an internet thing that probably originated from paranoia or misinformation and over analysis of the process.
*PCT
It's IMPOSSIBLE to get your natural levels back to their original state faster than what your body can physically do, drugs or no drugs, period. If you didn't take anything whatsoever you would still reach complete recovery in the same time period when taking PCT drugs. If you don't reach recovery and you experience some type of sides, you would have experienced these sides regardless of PCT. I've never taken PCT, I don't know anyone who has, besides people on the internet. I have never experienced bad sides from no PCT. It's a myth. If you're a very heavy advanced steroid user, who pins over 1g ew then yeah you might need some type of assistance but for the majority of users it's completely useless. If you start to experience a rebound from excessive high dosages for long periods of time, take another shot, and then slowly taper down until your body recovers and cycle off.
The PCT drugs are made for women with breast cancer, they SHOULD NOT be taken by men, PERIOD!! Women should never take drugs that stimulate male hormones just like men should never take drugs that stimulate female hormones. The only drug you should ever take to control sides is an AI, that's it. Period.
*INSANE RESULTS/ LOSING GAINS
Steroids are NOT magic guys. You will NOT gain 10kg (22lb) of muscle on a cycle. You might gain 10kg (22lb) of weight, but the majority of that weight is NOT muscle. When you come off you lose size. You're not losing muscle, you're losing water retention and inflammation etc. The primary reason men build more muscle on steroids than naturally is the fact you gain a very fast strength increase and stamina increase which allows you to train much much harder for much much longer and you recover much much faster than you would naturally. This speeds up protein synthesis dramatically, and add the other processes related to steroid use and you have very rapid weight gain, the majority of the weight is not muscle.
You will hear insane results from people on the internet stating they gain x amount of muscle in x amount of time. In reality, the first two weeks of pinning you will lose a fair bit of weight, especially if you're training hard. You will need to triple your daily food intake and reduce your cardio to maintain your weight. The weight loss is a direct result of an increase in testosterone, once your body adapts to this increase you will be very anabolic but for the first 2-3 weeks you will notice significant weight loss then a massive increase, the same process is reversed when you stop taking the supplements.
*INJECTING AIR BUBBLES
You will hear all kinds of myths about air bubbles in your needle and how they will either kill you or seriously cause you some type of harm. You are not injecting directly into your veins so the risk of serious damage is very, very, very unlikely. If you do accidently inject air into your muscle, you will experience moderate pip (Post injection pain) you may experience soreness and swelling. You may experience bruising. This will go away within 48 hours.
This myth probably originated from drug users or junkies who've used steroids and they're following the same drug protocol they do with illicit drugs than with steroid use. You should obviously try to avoid injecting air bubbles but if you do accidentally inject a small bubble, don't freak out and run to the hospital, chances are you'll probably end up in the police station explaining your illegal steroid use while organising your financial stability to help pay for the excessive fines you're about to be charged with... Keep cool.
