I’m not vain then. But lifting is certainly a selfish endeavor for me though, I can admit that.
Shit half the fun is “wearing” your results for all to see, and knowing no one can take that shit away from you. No one can belittle what you’ve accomplished. You did it, by yourself, for yourself, and ain’t a motherfucker going to take my blood, pain and balls away from me.

A guy can get stronger, faster, bigger and accomplish physical transformation without steroids and frankly, in my personal opinion, doing it with steroids cheapens the goal, if it’s just personal satisfaction being sought. It’s like beating a video game with cheat codes. Fun maybe but you get my drift.[/quote]
Fair enough. I mean it isn’t like that opinion is out of left field. And it is one that you have to think about, but only when it comes from someone that lifts. If Sally Fatass at the office said that I would mention how she is a fat shit and should fuck off and die of consumption, but from a lifter, fine.
I personally don’t see it that way, outside of an assisted guy competing against nattys and claiming he is natty. But I don’t think either of us are ‘wrong’ about it, just see different shades of grey.
Sort of surprised, but yeah ;)[/quote]
i totally agree with your view on lifting rewards and it applies to everything built with deliberate effort. Doesn’t really have much to do with 'roids specifically though, especially since my grey shade is that using for no other reason than personal satisfaction is like beating a game with codes, as a general comment.
I see your wink but one topic doesn’t carry over to another. Videogames are one thing, steroids totally another.
Anyways, it’s all risk vs. reward, which ever side a person is on.
Didn’t understand the suzie fat ass comment but I think we are on the same page.
So at this point my posts will become circular it seems. I’ll be back when flaming and e-one upping begin.
Lataz!
And, for the record, at some point I will be on TRT just like I play madden sometimes.
The reward of keeping hard earned muscle, youth and boner ability will outweigh risk as I age. Plus i’ll do it through a doctor.
