They are soooo much more convenient lol its a pretty obvious reason
Similar results with a lot less headache of getting your hands on them and wondering if they are legit or not
Having done both, I respectfully disagree and here's why. Yes, they both cause increases in strength and mass, but no, they aren't going to deliver similar results if we're honest and consider multiple cycles over several years. Not even close.
While you didn't address what I'm about to say, I'll just mention the least popular response:
That people *FOOLISHLY* look to and depend on government and media to define morality for them, so whatever is legal is right and good and acceptable and whatevet is illegal is not. I've heard too many people say "I want to stay legal" but not out of fear of getting caught because they see tons of other folks in the gym happily living successful lives while purchasing and taking steroids, but the real reason is some sort of morality logic built on "whatever is against the law is wrong". I would agree if we're talking about God and His innate laws impregnated onto our conscious. But I would not for a second take serious the notion that all laws which were created by men and political agendas are in fact the way to live. Once you break through this reality, you can quickly see that even in the headache and cost of getting actual IM steroids, it is still worthwhile to use them over PH's for effectiveness and in many cases, safety.
Yes, people think that becuase its legal, they can argue they are not "cheaters" or that it isn't wrong to try them. I've seen guys waste $400-500 on these two step pro-hormones just to be able to say I'm still natty b/c I didn't take the real thing or "my gainz r legal" and therefore I should be immune to social criticism.
Break the mold. Shift the paradigm. When someone criticizes you for using gear, as if you are a lesser being now, just ask them this - but who's got the better body and did it more safely? Who reaped the benefits? Who walked away with better results and now enjoy the ever-increasing influential power over other people because of it?
We can build up reasons in our mind that sound good and seem like reasonable explanations but the truth remains that when you take the real gear, you step into an increasingly more effective environment for training & learning - lets not forget that most steroids also enhance cognitive abilities. So now I'm able to articulate that, while the folks who fear social criticisms are avoiding them, I'm too busy making progress, becoming a more conpetitive employee and enjoying every step of the process. My quality of life AND my wallet thickness are ever-increasing because I chose to learn about things by researching and experiencing them rather than letting the general mass of society determine what is good and bad for me. What it comes down to is something I said to another individual on another thread when he said he'd "never do ...", I said:
"Never say never because the never today is built only on what you know today. As you learn more, you'll also make different choices, otherwise there is no value to learning if it doesn't change your trajectory in life. And we know that isn't the case, now is it?"
