Of course you shouldn't take gear if your under 21 which is why I've never used, but I'm 21 now so thats my age.

I'm a really ripped,tall and genetically blessed guy to honest. I'd just rather have some more muscle. I've thought about doing a cycle of dianabol or another roid to gain the lbs. (My friends and even a family member use gear).

Im scared about messing up my normal hormones when using and coming off/quitting roids makes me wonder if they will return to normal.

My main fear and really the only thing hold me back is the hair loss issue... I fuckin' love my hair, and its proven that women, not all but most prefer guys with hair haha, so I def do not want to lose it...How common and severe is it taking a chance with roids when you dont want to lose your hair? Of course it depends on many factors such as genetics etc. But be real with me and give me your best opinion
 
First off, dbol will put some quick water weight on you, but it will disappear when you come off. You are mch better off looking into a test cycle. it takes years of abuse to permanently fuck up your natural production, so if your goal is just a few pounds, I wouldn't worry too much.

Second, sides affect everyone differently, based on genetic predispositions. Hair loss is almost exclusively genetic. If you were destined to be bald, steroids will speed the process. If not, they will have little effect. Best indicator is your maternal grandfather. Mine had recession at the temples and I noticed the same on me shortly after I started using. I now take finasteride and my hair is fuller than before the steroids, so there are ways to counteract the sides. The most dangerous side, is the increase in blood pressure. There are no outward signs, which is why it's called the silent killer. Keep track of it and when/if it rises, up your cardio, reduce salt and drink more water.
 
You don't need gear. Eat more and start lifting like you mean it. There is no reason you can't gain at 21, unless you're eating like a pussy or training like a bitch, or both. In one of your other posts you said you're 165. Now, unless you're 5'5, that's way too small to consider using steroids.
 
You shouldn't even think of using gear until you have your diet and routine perfected. I spent a year getting my diet and exercise routine solidified along with getting sober before I got (back) on the gear. Seven years of heroin addiction left me in shambles physically and mentally.

If you can't put on muscle without steroids then you have no business doing them.

Well said Guido. :)

This is above and beyond the most important thing people tend to forget when they begin considering steroids.
 
well what i think that a natural body have more attraction while going on anabolics or stuff like that for time being they multiplies muscles and strength but think about for long term you should stick on to a good diet and exercise you will gain a ideal body...... baked/ boiled potatoes, bananas karne will really help you for lbs
 
Steroids ahve the worst side effects of any drug.

Hair loss, ball shrinks, you grow nippley boobies, when your balls shrink they stop producing TESTOSTERONE so when you come off your ROIDS you have no testosterone in your system and its NOT GOING TO COME BACK.

You are going to be a uniq basically, its just like cutting your own balls off...

that is if you are unlucky enough to have the side efffects.

Its a game of Russian Roullete except the gun is pointed at your nutsack.
 
I don't think you should be using steroids, you're way too young. It's a bad choice regarding that you care about your hair.

If you still want to use them I would say go for a substance that has a low androgen-ratio. Oral Turinabol is one of them.

Testosterone undergoes 5α-reduction to DHT that is really nasty for your hair IF you are prone to hairloss. To prevent 5α-reduction to a certain percentage (about 70 %) you can use drugs such as finasteride or dutasteride. These drugs will not work on every steroid so you have to know what you are doing before you start taking any hormones. If you use them with nandrolone for example it will be worse for your hair than if you skipped the 5α-reduction-inhibitor.

Steroids can also screw your own endocrine system, especially if you don't do a proper PCT.

You lack knowledge about your body (just like I do) how you respond to the common sides of steroids. If you have sides like gynecomastia you can probably counter it with other drugs. But these drugs will be bad for your hair also. And you don't know how you respond to these protective drugs.

There is a lot of reading that has to be done.

Hormones are much more complicated than using recreational drugs. You got to know what you are doing if you use them. The same goes with pro hormones like Jungle Warfare, Halodrol and all that shit. I would say pro hormones is much worse than steroids since you don't know what they do to you. There is no adequate research behind them either. With steroids you can at least predict the effects.

I'm much older than you, and I have avoided (same reason as you) steroids, still some people think that I've used them. You can grow big without them.
 
No matter what the decision is a gamble.

Some people can take steroids and have minimal side effects even with a shotty-pct.

Others go on cycle and break out, develop massive water retention and gyno. You'll have to make the decision based on what your goals are.

Hair loss is dependent on genetics, steroid dose, and steroid type.

Gyno is preventable with a SERM or AI. Some steroids won't cause gyno because they don't convert to estrogen.

Your balls do shrink but that can be stopped with HCG injections and even without HCG, you balls return to normal size along with natural testosterone production when proper PCT is utilized.

It still carries a risk though, when you get down to brass tacks you are fucking with your hormones. Like with other drugs, you need to practice harm reduction.
 
From my experience

Test - Shrinks your balls (for obvious reasons)

Dbol - Gives major headaches

Deca - Difficult to fall asleep

Primo - Hair loss & a LOT of spots

Winstrol - Joints ache like fuck!

Tren - Don't get me started, too many to list

For anybody who has their diet and training down 100% and is considering steroids, save yourself the epic headache, and be ahead of the game with this simple tip:


Don't touch anything other than Test or Tren.
 
Test and Tren is all I fucking need. Nectar of the Gods. As far as orals, some Superdrol, Epistane, Winstrol, and M1T and I'm golden.
