Share Stories About Steroids Users From The Gym

[TruthSeeker]

I have many of them. 

One of the most notorious was when two dudes came out of the bathroom together. It was a small gym so there was only one bathroom for women and one for men. A smell of surgical spirit filled the locker room. The dudes were laughing because they realized how stupid they looked.

If you are a beginner, you may not realize the motif. It's simple. At least one of them was injecting steroids in the bathroom. The spirit was used to sterilize the area. 

One of the them was fairly large - way smaller than Jason Blaha but less fat. The other one was fat but muscular. They could pass for naturals on any day of the year, especially the chubby one.

Golden rule - if someone is bigger that the average gym rats he is on steroids

I’ve got quite a few acquaintances that use test and one in particular that cycles on a lot harder stuff at times. His strength levels go through the roof when he is on the hard stuff. It’s almost instant also. He always stays on a certain amount of test no matter what. One of my other good buddies got on TRT through the doc. He was offshore working over seas for around 3-4 months when he got on it. When he came back he looked so much different and was strong as hell. He’s always been a fat boy. Now this dude has the shoulders and traps and was strong as hell. I kept in contact with him while he was gone and he never talked about his physical changes. We talked bout working out and how the gyms on the rigs were very different. Some good some shitty. He was by no means killing it in the weight room on the regular. Lifted really random but came back a beast. Could hit 405 on bench 5 times. It was crazy what just test did for him. A while back his prescription expired and it took him a while to get back to the doc with his new job working shift work. While he still has decent strength he looks like shit again. Complains of not motivation and is always grumpy. Think he got his prescription renewed so we will see what happens. Just watching the waves and up and down effects these guys have ridden dealing with all these drugs has convinced me to just never touch it unless I absolutely need it or something. The effects I’ve witnessed are very real though. That shit can work maricles.

Does anyone not like the steroid body builder look?

I see them...huge, puffy, bulky muscles. Especially on the shoulders and traps. But to me it does not look very athaletic. Put them in a suite and they look like gorrilars. Not for me

The gym I use to go is a small neighborhood comercial one, so steroid users are a rarity, but when they give us poor souls the glory and magnificence of their presence, there isn't one that don't give a 'watahell' look 
p.s.: their presence is momentary on our iron spa, "cuz theres lots o'bitches to getzzz"

Ronnie coleman type body? hell no.  A body like Lazar Angelov ? Hell yes (for me at least) or even better, a body like dmitry klokov. Both athletic and strong as hell.

Bodybuilders are not athletic. Their muscles are mostly water and their strength is not on par with their size. There was a study confirming that steroids increase both strength and muscle on a 1:1 ratio, but after a certain dosage, strength gains reach a point of rapid diminished returns while muscle gains increased dramatically. This leads to a muscle that "appears" to be strong, while in reality its just a balloon full of water and glycogen.

That would make sense because the body doesn't need to get to that size for getting strong. I wouldnt mind looking like serge nubret (perhaps a bit smaller), or zyzz (I am still myrin). Basically any physique with a narrow waist, broad shoulders, aesthetic traps with size, and a good upper chest, with 16-17 inch arms, plus average but defined quads (like Frank Zane's).

Same here. I can't wait to find out how big my arms are after my fat loss is all said done. If I could have 16's I'd be more than content. Serge had a good look, although he was a bit top heavy IMO.

I met a steroid user in person only once at a gym. This was before I started cutting. Just a fat guy lifting. Dude was doing a shift in the gym, talking about being a bouncer the night before on Halloween and getting into fights with drunks. Complained about not getting any sleep. You could tell he lifted, but he did not have insane size. Looked natty. He was about my height.

I was confident as hell back then and initiated the conversation with a joke by saying "I need the stuff you're taking dude!". I use flattery and compliments to get people's guards down and open up, and also to like me. He told me everything he was on. It sounds crazy but it's true. He was reckless. I'll never forget, that was my first awakening that many steroid users are not that big.

I sometimes can listen to their talks during my training sessions. So I know who is juicing. Indeed, most do not look very impressive. They often have that bloated, watery look without any recognizable shape. Not like a Coleman in off-season, but just indifferent.
