Steroids...

[ummmm]

I mean body building steroids...

What are the real dangers? And is there a safe way of taking them?

[Wrongn3mber]

I'm not sure what you mean by proper? I don't compete or anything like that but yes I lift. It's a vain old game paul!

[ummmm]

I mean 'proper' as in lifting weights to gain muscle... with no artificial stimulants.

[Ankou]

i lift proper weight.
mostly when i lose the remote and need to get off the sofa to turn the telly over.

[pa___ul3]

wrongn3mber, what's your view on the protein shakes and all that jazz?
I've never bothered with any of all that, even when I was 10 n half stone trying to put weight on, just wondering if you know of any side effects or anything with that?

[ummmm]

Lol.....I lift weight when I have to pass the laptop along :-)

Paul im toying with protein bar once a day to keep me full, x

[Wrongn3mber]

Well pre workout many including myself take stims for energy, focus and fat loss but these are all shop bought.
Paul as you know protein builds muscle and after a workout your body's screaming out for protein so a quick digesting whey protein and carb shake is mandatory as food takes much longer to digest leaving your body in a catabolic state for a long time, the other time to have a shake is first thing in the morning as your body has been fasting as you sleep. There are no side effects with a protein shake, what are your goals paul? Just keeping fit or losing/gaining weight?

[ummmm]

They give out protein shakes in hospitals...

[pa___ul3]

at the moment I'm just maintaining my strength without putting on any mass, in fact trying to lose a bit, I'm training for a marathon in october so it's mainly about eating alright and carbs before my big runs, but after october I'll want to put a bit more back on for the long winter months of the rugby season, only a bit though, I'm a winger so it's mainly my leg strength.

[Wrongn3mber]

Cool, I guess you're taking creatine also?

[craft1948]

lol paul I used to go to the same gym as Hunter...he were a big lad!

[tinkerbell23]

Why are there no hot sexy gladiators at my gym! Doh x

[pa___ul3]

no, I don't take any kind of supplement at all! My pre-run jelly beans are as wild as I get!!

[Wrongn3mber]

Lol, jelly beans are pretty wild! I would've thought that with all of creatines benefits all rugby players took it.
Have a read of this.

Never done me any harm, and I'll thump the living daylights out of anyone who says different !!!!

[pa___ul3]

cheers for that wrongn3mber, I'll look further into that, I've never really considered any kind of supplements.. I'm the kind that only takes paracetamol when I'm close to tears.. but I will look into it. I suppose the added recovery speed could one day help me avoid being cut in half so it may very well be worth it!

[Wrongn3mber]

Yes it's worth looking into or asking your coach or team members about and I do understand that not everyone likes putting different substances in their bodies but my guess is if you have a team that are constantly bigger, faster and stronger then yours and are always winning, It's a possibility they're taking creatine,lol.

the real dangers are that you will buy fake steroids learn how to avoid this by visiting sites such as http://buysteroidsuk.co/, real steroids taken at sensible dosages have very few side effects. smoking and drinking are far more dangerous yet very few press articles attac kthose two vices.
