To say the movie reinforces negative bodybuilding stereotypes is an understatement. “Pain & Gain“ is bad for bodybuilders. And it is even worse for steroid users. Bodybuilders aren’t just portrayed as dumb, their stupidity seemingly has no limits. Steroid users aren’t just portrayed as prone to “roid rage”, the extent of their violence is utterly sadistic.

Masteron as an Addition to Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

I plan on remaining on TRT indefinitely. But I’d like to have a little boost. I am currently 220-lbs but my goal is to return my physique to my younger days when I was a lean 245-lbs.

Effectiveness milligram per milligram: One way is, having the rest of a stack already, and wanting to add X mg of boldenone, or the same mg of Masteron. To some extent it would depend […]
Why Harm Reduction is a Nightmare for Anti-Doping Crusaders
The biggest problem with the war on steroids and the war on doping is that it is a moral crusade masquerading as an initiative for protecting the health of athletes. Anti-doping warriors are primarily concerned with enforcing a moral code. The moral code involves the prohibition of drugs that enhance performance. It is not a code based on health and harm reduction.
Cheat This, Not That: Hypocrisy, Ethics and Performance Enhancement
Steroid users are “cheaters” who use drugs to defy the limitations that nature has imposed. Breast enhancement via implants, sexual enhancement via Viagra, cognitive enhancement via Adderall are all about the American Dream of bigger boobs, better boners and brighter brains; bigger, better bodies assisted by steroids, however, are simply not on the American agenda.

Do Anabolic Steroids Cause Fungal Meningitis?
The deadly fungal meningitis outbreak has been linked to contaminated injectable solution of the corticosteroid methylprednisolone acetate. It has been a tragedy for the families involved. For anti-steroid crusaders, it has simply provided another tool to unfairly demonize anabolic steroids. The fungal meningitis infections were solely due to contaminated epidural injection directly into the CNS. Anabolic steroids are injected intramuscularly.
Charlie Francis Was Honest About Steroids in Sports
Many athletes who get caught using steroids choose to convert into anti-doping crusaders. Charlie Francis, best known as Ben Johnson’s coach at the 1998 Seoul Olympics, refused to apologize and repent. Instead, he chose to tell the truth: steroid use is still pervasive and practically a requirement at the top. To tell athletes differently would be a lie.
Can An Eighteen-Year Old Safely Use Anabolic Steroids?
Question: I am 18-years old. Can I safely do a cycle of anabolic steroids? Now I know most of you will say ‘you’re too young’ and ‘you should wait until you are over 21.’ I’ve read it all before but at the end of the day it’s my own personal choice. Many top pros started steroids in their teens and have had great success so why can’t I have great success if I start now? Please do not flame me. I am just trying to learn and have not and may not do steroids.
