So, a newer member to the forum recently posted about his experience with epistane, and the great gains he accomplished. But, he posted in the supplement section, and some people called him a cheater, which led me to make this thread.
So my question to those who have used steroids or pro hormones, do you think you are cheating?
My thoughts: Steroids aren't magical substances that give you abilities you dont have. they simply are keys that unlock traits that are already there.
If you dont have it in your genetics to be a certain size, run so fast, be so strong, then it isn't going to happen.
And even on steroids, in order to have optimal results, you have to put in work, they do not do the work for you.
They dont eat the food, they dont lift the weights, they dont run the track, etc.
now, yes, they turn on genes that get things going, allowing you to get much more out of training than if you were not using them.
but in todays world, esp the world of high school and beyond of sports, if you're not using some sort of ergogenic aid, you're shooting yourself short, because most likely the competition is.
and this doesn't mean just because the competition is using steroids they will win, if they havn't put in the time and training, they most likely will still be weak, and slow.
I do believe if you are the only person in the competition using steroids, it's cheating.
