I am seeing this guy and he and I are pretty serious, recently he sat me down and told me that he was has been on and off steroids for the past 2 and a half years. Mind you he hasnt been on since we have been together. He told me that he is planning a cycle starting in June. I dont like that he is on them but it is his choice and I am going to have his back no matter what. Now I have watched bigger stronger faster, I signed up for a human anatomy class, and I have attempted to do research on my own, but I dont really know what I am looking for but mainly what I want to know is what do I need to do to help support him? I know I have to do things like cook more, and control my moods. But what other things should someone like myself expect and do?

He shouldnt change personality wise while he is on, that is a myth. If he is an ass while off, he will be an ass while on, but if he's a nice guy there will be no problems. The gov makes way too big of a deal out of this, if he is using responsibly it will be fine. He is just putting more of what his body already makes into him, that is fine for "cycles". If he stays on forever there could be some health consequences but steroids used properly are safe and effective.

BTW you shouldnt have to "control your moods". He should be the same ole guy while on. Chris benoit wasnt a nut because he was on steroids, he was a nut who happened to be on steroids. No relationship there.
 
"But what other things should someone like myself expect and do? "

I am gunna be blunt here:

Expect to be getting laid more.lol Seriously though, there will likely be a big increase in this dept.

It is good that you are willing to support his choices. Too bad more Gf's aren't that accepting.

I am a nice guy, on or off cycles, but on i have a shorter fuse, there is no disputing that. Don't start fights with him over worthless ****, nor provoke him into an argument for no reason. Just my opinion.

Did you sign up for the anatomy class just because of this? If so, drop it before fees are due.

seconds that. A human anatomy class wont do you a lick of good. You would find out more about steroids if you wiki it then if you went to that class lol.

Everyone seems to have covered what needs done. Some people on here have wives that know they use steroids. It is not the evil myth played out by the government. (think about how communism became viewed). Our government is #1 at propaganda, its just really good at it.

If you boyfriend is a smart guy, you dont have anything to worry about, by all means get him to sign up here and he could receive some very good support and knowledge to keep everything safe.
 
I gotta agree here with some of the previous posts. Should he need help in any or all facets of his cycle, then he should come here for it.
 
Yeah don't buy into the hype. Steroids are just hormones. Birth control is also hormones, so don't worry about it. Also make sure he is educated, while extra testosterone makes one a bit more aggressive(think the difference between a man and a woman) a lot of that part of side effects are in ones head. Hopefully he isnt one of those guys who "expects" to get roid rage, then placebo takes over.

On a funny side note, about 10 years ago when I first started lifting, a guy came in and told me he had been taking creatine, but had to stop because he started pushing his girlfriend around - he said "I hate that freaking creatine rage." It was all I could do not to bust out laughing in his face!

dude....my lifting buddy uses creatine(i currently dont). One of the older men at church found out since we both go there, he was talking about supplements with him. And he goes "Isnt creatine a steroid?" And still believes to this day its a steroid lol.

Ignorance. It is bliss, no?
 
First off let me say I wish there were more girls like you.

Second, ur gonna get alot of sex, enjoy. also just be supportive and understanding, dont flip over lil things. Just be supportive. All negatives are temporary from roids.

I can beat that. I carry a ziploc bag of protein powder into work everyday. One of the guys that sits next to me asked what that was. And I replied ,"protein shake mix". He said," isnt that like a steriod?". And he was by no means joking! I just laughed, shooked my head, and said, "google my friend".

When I was 18 I went on a high protein diet and simultaneously gained about 15lbs of muscle and lost roughly 10lbs of fat in 3 months or so(newbie gains this progress rate didnt last...) so anyway a rumor started around town that my mom had bought be winstrol for my birthday. My mom??? Freaking ridiculous I had to go around denying this rumor for about a year, and i only weighed 143lbs...
 
well I signed up for the anatomy class because I know absolutley nothing about the human body. I didnt sign up to learn about steroids, he tends to get going talking about what he is going to do and what it is going to affect and how it works but problem is he talks in the "scientific terms" and i try to tell him lamens terms please but I guess that is scientific to him! haha!

Also other than the sex and not starting fights over pointless things what can i do to make it "easier or better"...not things I have to do.

Really not much else. Be nice is all lol. Maybe give him any support you think he needs. During PCT he may be a lil emotional depending by what kind of cycle he runs and what he does for PCT.

Do you think you could get the information from him on what he is going to use, and what he will use for PCT. PCT which is post cycle therapy is meant to get the body back to normal fast, and help him keep more of the muscle he puts on.

If we knew a lil bit more, we might be able to give you a lil better heads up.

Maybe like we said get him to join here.

First off, congrats for being supportive. I've lost GF's due to their ignorance about steroids so it's weird to see that a woman is actually open to this.

1. Your BF is most likely going to have a much higher libido so don't hold it against him. However, his libido can take a temporary hit when he comes off steroids.

2. Don't freak out if your BF ever has a stream of blood rush out of his thigh after an injection, these things may happen. He may also get a cough if he uses Trenbolone. These things do happen and they may seem serious but they're not too bad.

3. Mood swings shouldn't be a problem, this is a big myth that's blown out of proportion by the mainstream media.

4. Long term health should not be an issue with moderate doses and cycle length. Steroids in low doses are even helpful with men after 50, I'm trying to get my dad to use steroids but he's a bit of a wimp LOL. Maybe he'll get an abcess at worst.

5. Most of the research is biased but there's a special by HBO sports where they are very unbiased. You should get a hold of that HBO show.
 
he is already a member on here and has been for a while, that is how i learned about this site...

he is going to be using test e and eq at about 500mg a week for 12 weeks and using toremifene for pct for like 6 weeks he likes tren and wants to use it again but its the only one im really worried about the side effects.

There is honestly so much misinformation about anabolic steroids, it is often difficult to find an unbiased source of information. In terms of things which can be expected can be due in part to what steroid he is taking. The general media often generalizes steroids as one thing, but in fact there are many different steroids, all of which have characteristics unique of themselves. Some can hinder sexual attraction, others will increase it, at certain dosages they can cause anxiety and depression, some can decrease appetite, others will increase it (which I think this is where some reported instances of "roid rage" are derrived. On or off cycle, if I'm hungry, I am not a pleasant person to be around).

I don't see why you should need to change your lifestyle in order to accomodate a decision he made without your consent. If things aren't business as usual, there's something wrong with this. You are not his mother; you are his girlfriend. If he is doing something against your will, I find it difficult to see why you plan is to not only tolerate this, but nuture it as well.

Agree.
 
well my roommate also is going to start doing it in June, with test e and clen for 12 weeks at 500 mg a week he has never done them before and he is a bit of a hot head... I know that roid rage is a myth but i have also read that clen can make you edgy and irratable, what should I expect from him?

Clen is hot f'ing death as far as I'm concerned. He'll shake like Micheal J Fox.

I had cramps out the wahzoo on that. Cramps in my f'ing feet! I was really irritable on that crap.

Some people's experience on clen orally doesn't sound like it's much of a change. Some of us is a big change. Some in the middle (somewhat irritable, etc). So I dunno honestly.

I know I'll never ever ever take clen orally again.

i wish my girlfriend was supportive like you, hes a very lucky guy!!!

just be there to support his endeavors on reaching his goals. his mood should not change at all really thats a myth, expect him to want to get laid more often, and be understanding if he cant use his tool every so often,

Patience tends to wear thin with beta agonists.

I'd also note that Test-E increases blood pressure, cholesterol, and can lead to mild heart hypertrophy.

Clen increases blood pressure, heart rate, heart hypertrophy and can lead to significant heart problems. Your body will also become tolerant very quickly on the stuff. I'd be wary about combining steroids and clen: the heart attack stack.

I think you signed up for the wrong class. Human Physiology will give you a much better understanding of how the body works. Human Anatomy is going to be boring as **** unless you want to learn every single muscle and insertion point and motor nerve and blah blah blah in the human body.

Seriously, don't take Human Anatomy.
 
kluvjsj said:
what can I expect out of human physiology...facts and figures are my kind of thing...haha
Click to expand...

Well you will get that in Human Physiology. It will be different for different professors but you should leave the class with at least some of the following basic concepts of Human Physiology:

Homeostasis
Cellular Transport
Action/Resting Potential
Basic understanding of the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems
Muscles - Function, metabolism, and control
Immune System
Lungs/kidneys/GI tract/sexual organs

Basically the information covered on muscles, sexual function, and hormone regulation should be very helpful to you. Will give you a better understanding of what's going on it your boyfriend's body.

Thank you so much for that information, that should help alot. Other than this site what are some other good sites for newbies?
 
Wow, holy crap you should get the girlfriend of the year award. It sounds like you guys have a very healthy relationship. Just keep the lines of communication open and you should be good. BTW it also depends on what kind of steroids he is taking....some are harsher than others. Instead of talking to us, talk to him about his needs. Hope all goes well
 
My wife has been incredibly helpful in my lifting. Here are some other ways I think you can help.

Help him get rest. Other than food it is the most important factor that you can contribute to. So for a while really try to limit the late nights out and stay in. Get in bed an hour earlier........even if you are not tired.

No drinking. It helps a lot if you don't either. Except water. Make sure he drinks more of it then normal.

Think ahead in terms of food. Hungry can lead to grouchy quickly. Keeping good snacks around can win a man's heart and put an inch on his arms.

You..........learn. But do not stress out about it. He will be fine and sounds like has a great supportive girlfriend + a great resource here.

Good luck.

Quick, someone go find out whos running this cycle



Alright...whos girlfriend is this.



Nice avatar.
 
Have him mix a few scoops of xtend (bcaa's) in a jug of water and have him sip on it all day. BCAA's are essential to bodybuilding. Xtend makes some great stuff in a variety of flavors.

where can you find this stuff?? Its not another steroid right? I know you are probably dying laughing right now but I really dont know! haha.....

Where can I find meal plans? And things that are good for him to eat while on cycle.
 
No, it ok, your hear to learn, jsut like everybody else. BCAA are branched chain amino acids, they are the building blocks of protein synthesis. They can be found almost anywhere gnc, vitaminshoppe, etc. or you could even buy online at Nutraplanet ;)

hoepfully, i wont get in trouble for posting this haha but take a look at this

As, far as meal plans, check out the diet section, depending on his goals (cut or bulk) theres alot of great recipes and diet plans. If you can provide us alittle more info on wha this goals are, we can direct you on the right stuff to look for.

that helps alot thanks a million...

do u have any sites with suggested diets, will it be any different from that of a bodybuilder while on cycle?
 
i loled at "cook more"

sign me up!
 
he is 7% body fat 5'6 and 150pds, and his goal is to bulk and reach 170 and 7-10% body fat. any suggestions on diets. Are diets of body builders the same as guys juicing or is there a change in calorie intake, protiens, etc...

HELP PLEASE!
 
As far as this sort of research, this is something HE should know before doing steroids, and HE should be researching. If you want to help him cook his food, etc, that is cool, but you cant be expected to piece together a training and meal plan for him..lol

That said. There is some good training and meal plans here
