Do you tell anyone that your "ON"?

[lorden24]

Is anyone here open about there use of anabolics in real life? Personally, I have never told ANYONE who actually knows my identity that I've used and plan to use more, and I never will. It's just something that I feel the general public does not understand, and it's not something I want people tying my face too. I tell no one, do you?

[lorden24]

To the average person, no, it isn't worth explaining.

The moment you let it be know you use anabolics, people will act like your discipline in sticking to your diet and routine counts for nothing.

Honestly, just f*** people.

that's exactly one of the big reasons I don't tell anyone myself, while I do understand that being ON gives me an edge, I still bust my ass and stay strict with everything. And I built quite a good body before I decided to take the next step. But the moment you someone you use, the average person gets the idea that I'm big only because of the steroids.

Only a few close friends, most of them also cycle.

[biggy57]

Yea. Close friends. But it's honestly cool that I'm at the point now where most people just expect it because my size. I never say yay or nay, but people just assume. It's a good feeling to me. Haha

i dont have any friends to tell. im not a very social person to begin with. mainly because 99% of people dont have the same intrest as I do, and so i have nothing i care to talk about with them, or listen to what they have to say.

my wife thinks i just use supplements. which is partially true, as everything i take is sold from supplement shops.

im sure some people wonder or think it, but they dont say anything to me, and i dont say anything to them either.

to all, i am a guy who works out hard, eats alot of protein, and takes supplements.

[jbryand101b]

thats funny.

[ambulldog]

im on trt and have no problem telling people about it. i encourage a lot of the guys i work with to at least go and get their bw done if for nothing else other than curiositys sake. i was low but didnt really know it. i got tested because i felt that from reading about test boosters i was feeling way too good a couple years ago. as for my cycling usage i keep that info to a minimum

Yea man, my friend's dad is on TRT (not trying to make you feel old hahaha) and I've tried to convince mine to get tested and see but he didn't seem interested. I did get him to start using magnesium oil and he has seemed to lean out in the last 3 months since he started.

And yea, I feel there's a big difference to other people in TRT vs cycling. One is a little more acceptable lol.

I tell my wife and close friends. They're the only ones that I would really care to tell as most are so convinced by the media that they're evil.

[jbryand101b]

yea, media convinced my wife.
now, If I could only get DR OZ to do a show on how steroids are safe when used responsibly, i'd be all set. his word is practically like budah or some sht.

thats sick man i wish i big enough that people expect it

[OrganicShadow]

Well, because they are drugs. Lets face facts. Aaaand are heroin addicts open and flaunting about their use? No.

If you cant figure out on your own if someones on cycle then you dont deserve to know. My opinion.

Im always honest with people... that doesnt always mean I cant elude away from a straight answer if I feel its undeserving or not their place to know. But I wont lie.

[dollerbill]

Only my brother (who almost cycled himself) and a few coworkers who have or are currently cycling.

[EBSNW1]

Its pretty funny how every documentary on steroids is all about the fact that they are bad and can cause this and that. There is absolutely no unbiased documentary that takes a scientific approach and tells it like it is. Its probably because people would then accuse them of condoning the use of steroids.

If someone asks me what I'm taking, I say "protein" and walk away.

YouTube "truth about steroids" and watch the hbo special bryant gumble(real sports) did on them. It's about the only somewhat positive report I've ever seen done...

[Bolanrox]

I'm pretty much on the same page as Ambulldog as far as TRT. I'm honest about it to my friends, advise the older dudes to stop beating their heads up against the wall. I'm 56, nothing to be ashamed of. As far as when i blast, only to those who do similar. Like others who said it, too, as soon as you say you're on then all your hard work counts for nothing. IOW, it wouldn't have mattered that I benched 300 lbs at about 150lbs before I ever touched an anabolic.
