The commonly misconceptions in anabolic steroids world

This will be a very general overview for general knowledge purposes only, isn’t a how-to guide. This doesn’t mean I condone its use nor is it an admission of use.

Steroids

Often misunderstood or miscategorized- there are different kinds of steroids. Corticosteroids, which have worse side-effects than Anabolic Steroids, for some reason aren’t demonized by the media and its use is actually ACCEPTABLE in most cases- including professional and collegiate sports. They’re often used to combat inflammation. There is also Progesterone which is used in most forms of birth control and taken by millions of women every day. Anabolic steroids (herein referred to as A.S. or AS) are what most people think of when they first hear “steroids” and all the bad things associated with them.

Side-effects

Everyone experiences different sides. No two people are alike. To say that ALL people would experience the same thing is ridiculous. Some people have a very hard time understanding this as seen in the lambesis thread. There is only one side-effect that all *male* users are guaranteed- and that is testicular atrophy.

www.aasraw.com A) Testicular Atrophy- when you supplement large amounts of Testosterone your body’s HPTA starts to shut down (stops producing Testosterone because your body is getting well more than enough); In short this causes your balls to shrink. Most of the time it isn’t even noticeable. Maybe 25% reduction, 50% at the most. Once you go off cycle, run your PCT (Post-cycle therapy) they come back to full-size. It’s not permanent. Some people run HCG (Human chorionic-gonadatropin) while on cycle to keep their balls at full-size and it also aids in recovery because it keeps your leydig cells functioning.
