Steroid use is incredibly dangerous. It puts a synthetic form of testosterone into the body and with continued use his testicles will shrink and become inactive because his body will stop making it's own testosterone. It can also give him bad acne, episodes of rage, hair loss, penile shrinkage (that's a fun one) and lots of other things that are not manly. There is no "steriod use, but not abuse" because any use of steroid hurts the human body. There is tons!!!!! of research out there on steriods, but there will always be the few people who are looking for the quick and easy route, which is almost always also the harmful one. Tell him you love him and you want him to be your MAN forever and that you like his testosterone just the way it is:) good luck

I have them and swear by them.  It's a real workout.  You will be amazed at the muscles you use.  And hubby will be amazed by the moves you learn.  They start out very, very basic and not so sexy, then work their way up, but the beginning is important so you can get used to the proper way to do it.  Go for it, you'll be glad you did!

You are extremely muscular...However, I think you look good.  I am extremely attracted to muscular men with the brains to go along with the bod.  If you are able to maintain your physique that's wonderfully, but don't get any bigger. :-)

I do 5g before, and then 5g after my workout. I think this loading and then maintenance crap is just from the days of steriods. It really is not needed. I've had excellent results from doing it my way. No different than when I loaded.

I don't really have that much experience in that area, but here's the best advice I can give you:\n\nIn my opinion, a guy that specifies "slim," "fit,"and any other body type is usually not looking for his "significant other." Usually it's because he's looking for some canoodling and "action" or what have you. \n\nYou are looking for love, right? \n\nI think that it may seem that all the guys are looking for one thing, but that's not the right way of looking at it. You can tell a lot about a person when you read their personal ad. If a guy puts up that he's looking for some "slim" or "fit" woman, I doubt he's that great a match for you anyways. In fact, it sounds rather superficial to me when a guy sepcifies what appearance a woman should have.\n\nYou are wonderful in your own way, as is every woman. \nYou deserve someone who can see that. Not all personal ads specify appearance, and so you just need to have a little faith in those which don't specify it. \n\nThe only thing that I can really tell you is this:\n\nDon't give up. He's out there, and you'll find him eventually. Sure, there are those interesting and bizarre moments of misses, but that just brings you that much closer to your significant other that you deserve. \n\nDon't ever give up or let anyone tell you otherwise. \nYou deserve someone who appreciates and loves YOU. \n\nAnd just to finish this whole tangent off, I think that too many people fail to realize that when you're looking for that "slim" or "fit" person, it can all change in a few years. All appearances change with time. What never changes is who you are, and that's what you should be looing for. A person. NOT a body type. \n\n=] Good luck to you!

The reason SOME guys do that is because of insecurities probly there before they met you....unless you were just a mean b***h all the time. The insecurities could have come from his parents who knows but speaking personally, I love BBW and could care less about a woman working out or getting in shape. If my lady wants to do it, good for her. I work out 6 days a week! We could spend some fun quality time in the gym together.

I would say using a steroid such as sustanon. I know a lot of people who worked out and tried everything but still saw no results hardly. One person took one cycle of Sustanon 250 and put on 20 lbs of muscle in 5 weeks. When he got off of the cycle he only lost about 5-7 lbs of the muscle he gained. It was unbeleivable. It is not expensive if you compare it to how much you would spend on creatine, protein shakes etc. You can pass a drug test on it also because it is testosterone and your body allready produces it. Where to get it? Look around at the gym. ALL the big guys are on it. No matter what they claim.

Don't do it!  What will happen to your scholarship when you are tested and your so-called performance enhancer is on a list of forbidden substances???????\n\nLift weights, monitor your eating habits so you will know whether carbs or proteins need to be adjusted and practice practice practice!\n\nWhen I played high school Bball, our coach told us to stay away from birth control pills.  she would always say they make you slow and weak and bloated.\n\nof course i have never been able to find any documentation to support this.\n\nplease stay away from the performance enhancers, ok?

A liar from the point of view that no one in the world would either put/drink/inject something into their body unknowingly. As far as you guys saying, "quit hating". Well he got himself into this, he deserves what comes from it. I don't care if he breaks all the records in the world, he still is a cheater and cheaters in my book are losers who can't compete.\nEdit: 6/15/06\nI am sick and tired of people saying that steroids doesn't affect hand and eye coordination as well as bat speed. BS. It may not affect hand and eye coordination enough to be noticeable but it does affect bat speed. You telling me that a guy not on steroids has the same bat speed as one on steroids. No way. Plus you can add length of the batted ball also as being affected. Anyone hitting close to over 500ft per homerun should be looked at even if the batter knew what was coming like in batting practice. Also, I watched a show on the discover channel one day about weightlifting and guys on steroids. Guess what's the first thing to go on a person using steroids for a long time."His knees"......enough said.

im in the same position right now. my partner is at least 100lbs overweight and im disgusted with him on many levels. not just the physical part, but his whole attitude. plus sex is unpleasant because i have back problems. i exercise, watch what i eat and am very conscious about my health. he his completely opposite. unfortunately, i cant go anywhere because im completing college and am financially dependant on him with my two children. its tough to be in this situation, i dont even sleep in the same bed with him because theres no room. we should hook them up together.

well dont be an idiot about it. you obviously know what he's trying to do...so dont let him..tell him what the deal is, and that hes not going to use you to compete with your bf

I agree with everyone so far. These products are usually unlikely to work at all, and sometimes have negative side effects. Nothing works better than regular sensible exercise and good eating.

I'll share my own personal experince with you, use muscle building supplements with extreme caution if you must!! The companies that manufacture them have become unscrupulous and they are only keen on making money. They'll put anything in those supplements to make you blow up in no time without any regard to their side effects and your health. And am not talking about just steroids, supplements too!!  Right now am battling high blood pressure and high cholesterol as a result of using Nitro Tech, a leading brand name in the protein shake industry!! In my opinion training on natural food is the best way to go if you are only keen on sculpting and toning up your muscles. Eat foods high in protein but at the same time consume red meat and dairy products sparingly. The best source of healthy protein is chicken, fish (white meat) and plant proteins such as soy beans. Ensure you take in a lot fluids too especially water and home made juices! A lot of bodybuilders really go overbaord with the protein intake and from my experience that's really an overkill. A balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and high quality carbs such as oats, wholewheat bread, baked potatoes and muesli will do your body a lot of good. Get yourself a health magazine e.g Muscle and Fitness provides some very good insights on a good nutritional plan but in my opinion stay away from the supplements as tempting as they seem. Some of them don't even have patents to back them yet and for that reason they should be labelled as "poison" because that's what they are. Some of the ingredients in many of those supplements are so potent and powerful, they scar and clog up your ateries in no time! This to me beats the whole purpose of body building in the first place which is to maintain good health and fitness. For me even though I am very fit, I lost out on my health. Learn from my mistake and don't misconstrue one for the other because they belong together; Fitness and Health. I hope I was of help. Good luck.

Because anabolic steirods are seriously harmful if abused.\n\n  They can cause...........bone deterioation, diabetes, agressive behavior, Physical violence, unstable reactions,Naked Agression.  Steriods are bad unless used as a teatment, not a therapy.

well it will shrink his testicles not his private as people think. Its all water weight that he will gain and not muscle. What happens is that when he stops taking the gear he will then lose the water weight any lifting he did while on it will show once the water disappears and he will seem a little more ripped. As far as staying on it he would look bulked up but again not from muscle but only water. He will have to keep going to doctors every 3 months and checking his kidney and liver levels and on his off months would need to take a counter steroid so he doesn't build to much estrogen and so forth. There is clomid for these types of off peek problems. Its to much trouble for simple gains. The only people that benefit from taking steroids are weight lifters in competitions and wrestlers to show that they are buffed up. If he doesn't do any of these he is just being vain and trying to follow a dream of being big. Tell him to continue to lift and do it the right way other wise hes looking at a life of chemo therapy or dialysis if he messes up. Dont enable him with these things if you truly love him. Keep your foot down, As well if you plan to have kids there has been mention that you are messing up your dna strands and could pass down to your children some mental disfunctions or worse. \nLots of problems for just 20 lbs of looking good. \nAnd last as i just mentioned with weight, if he does it natural he could gain 8 lbs a month, with gear "Steroids" he would gain aprox 11lbs a month so as you can see not a big difference.
