Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!
- Thread starter Taleb
- Start date
Ive been off one of my legs for quite some time to a point where theres a noticalble difference in size. My question, is it better to just work out the one side to get it back in shape, or just work out both the same? Also note that Ive gotten a bit weaker on the injured side as well.

I have a question for you guys. What do you think about steroid use? I know when people think "steriods" right away they assume "omg fake/drugs/bad/" bla bla, but then again they use some of the steroids everyday in the hospital. My cousin has been using steroids because he has asthma(i never knew that til last week there was steroids in the puffer) i know its a cheap way to get buffed but its not like im in a contest? I wanna look good just because my confidence and positive outlook in life is skyrocketing, these things lead one another. I was thinking about doing a cycle but i am scared. Ive done my research and everything, basiclly they say "use it but dont abuse it!"
What do you guys think??
What do you guys think??
Personally, for your health, if its just one cycle I wouldnt even bother, if you want fast results, seriously try the Insanity program. As god as my witness, two months of your time and its a total body change! Steroids can mess with your mood too.
Quick fix with long term bad effects

Puff away at all your cousins inhalers, it would do nothing positive for your muscles.... Or for your respiratory tract.
The steroid being used isn't the same type of steroid that is used for bulking up. Do you seriously think that doing the steroids you want to are worth it? You risk a lot, especially of it isn't done right (aids, hep etc is potential with sharing vials/ needles) huge liver and kidney damage, man tits, acne, decreased balls, heart issues.
Heres what you do. Eat right and get on a real program. That way you actually get healthy while you're at it and your self confidence will be even higher since you did it naturally and worked for it...
The truth of the matter is that steroids are VERY VERY popular. Walk into a gym and take a look at most of the serious lifters that have been lifting for a few years. Despite what most of them will tell you, MOST of them have done at least one cycle. In fact, MANY of the people that look like sheit have run a cycle or two also, the difference is that the ones that look like crap don't know what the hell they are doing (either in the gym, in the kitchen, or in the bathroom when they are injecting crap into their *****). Steroids work but you still have to know what you're doing. Seriously, you would be shocked by how many people out there are cycling and the majority of them are not exactly dropping dead. Is it as dangerous and harmful as the general public and media will have you believe? No. Most people that run a cycle here and there and actually do their reseach and run the correct PCT experience few, if any side affects. Sure, the PROs that run crap all year round at high doses with various mixes of stuff for years and years and push the limits are definitely doing damage to their body. It's like putting a turbo in a Civic....the chasis was not designed for it and will wear quicker. The idiot who takes too high a dose right away and doesn't run proper PCT and gets his hormones completely out of wack is also harming himself bad. You also don't know how your body will respond to the stuff. You might have some sort of a weird reaction to certain stuff that the next guy does not. It's unlikely but sure, it's a risk that you're taking. It's up to you to determine if you're willing to take this risk.
I've never taken steroids but I believe we should have the freedom to do whatever we want with our own bodies. Whatever choice you make is up to you and I would never put you down for that choice, as long as you don't ******** me if I asked and claim that you accomplished eveything clean when you in fact did not. I understand why most guys that juice lie about it though. It's cause the general public thinks juice is magic and if you take steroids you wake up jacked the next day at 5% bf. They don't unserstand that even the juicer has to put in a lot of work to look good but I'm not Joe Shmoe idiot so no need to feed me the same ********.
So why don't I take steroids even though I don't believe the health risks are that great? Well, the physique I can achieve without juice is already better than 99% of the population and is enough to impress almost anyone but the most hardened juicer and/or bodybuidling fan. Plus I believe that doing that first cycle is opening pandora's box. What do you think will happen when you run that cycle and make more progress in 3 months than you could make in a year naturally? What if you went past your natural limit and could never gain a single pound of muslcle ever without injecting? Not only that but if you stayed off the stuff long enough you'd start shrinking? How could you ever find working out clean satisfying again? I know I couldn't. I'd have to come back for more, and more. Next thing you know you're spending a couple grand a year on juice and (on top of at that point probably actually starting to harm your health) you are actually debating if you might maybe skip riding this year and selling your bike so you can afford to run another cycle. And all this for what? So you can be 240lbs at 5% bf and impress a few more guys at the gym vs 200lbs at 10% bf which you could have achieved naturally and would have impressed almost as many people. No thanks!

Insanity program? U mean that dvd set from the same company thAt does p90?
Ya dude, my wife's on the last two weeks of the program. Trust me, Shaun T knows what's he's doin! She's in the best shape of her life thanks to those vids. As soon as my back heals I'm gonna be all over those DVDs too. The biggest plus I find with Insanity is that theres no weights or other equipment needed to do the workouts. Do get me wrong, I've seen people with awesome results from p90x, but me personally, I don't want to have to go out and buy more equipment when I've already spent money on the programs, so Insanity's where I throw my endorsement.
Same beach body company different results. P90x is for muscle definition, toning, and size. Insanity is more weight loss and cardio.
You want anabolic steroids, not whatever the hell is in the asthma puffer. Totally different things. LOL.
X2 I would probably juice if it wasn't so damn expensive, and if I wasn't worried about doing a proper PCT. But steroids are generally not fantastic for your liver and other internal organs, there is no question about this, unless there are some new less harmful ones I am unaware of.
Muscle definition is this so called "tone". And those two aspects are only a function of body fat and subcutaneous water. I am so tired of people perpetuating this idiocy about certain exercise being good for "Tone". Those exercises are good for endurance, this won't give a muscle a "toned" look. Low body fat makes muscles look "toned".
True, but neighter is booze and most people drink.
I guess the difference is that if you drink irresponsibly you might wake up next to a fat chick the next morning.
If you **** up a cycle though you will get ***** tits, have the test levels of a 12 year old girl, and will wake up loooking like a fat chick yourself. LOL
The speeding up of hair loss and acne is enough to keep me away from that ****.
You don't always get the bacne... but I forgot about the hairloss... That one is tough to avoid too. But I guess if you are already balding, why the hell not.
I think genetics plays a big part in some side effects.
When im in the gym 4 or more days a week and have my diet in check I need to be on top of keeping my skin clean or im in trouble. I can only imagine on juice it would get bad.
As far as hair loss if your going to lose it eventually it will just speed it up. The few guys who keep a full head of hair to 70 years old probably wouldn't lose any.
I was over 200 lbs before I was 12, I dont need the stuff because I can easily get to my goals naturally. I against steroids but I can see why so many choose to do them.
If you are achieving 200 pounds and 10 percent body fat with no drugs or hormones of any kind you are as you said genetically gifted. Only a tiny percent of people can get anywhere near that on a walk around basis not just trying to peak
Most people will never hit 240lbs at 5% bf with juice either. I'm comparing elite level without juice to elite level with juice. I'm also basing this off my own height (6'1).
Just about ANYONE can attain an impressive physique without juice regardless of genetics though, yes, some more easily than others due to genetics but with the right diet, routine and work ethic I serously believe there are very very few exceptions (and you probably aren't one of them).
