Ok so the reason you want to take steriods is because you want to keep size during mma? How much do you weigh? MMA+ Gaining muscle mass at the same time= not an easy thing to do. What your looking at is taking a period of time away from hard mma training and focusing on massing up (2+years) Once your masse up and remain dense for awhile when you get back into hard mma you won't dwindle down the same way as before (even though you will lose some mass)
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

ps - mods should lock this thread. (any kind of steroid discussion is gonna be sensitive)
Steroids are like most any other drug. Good and helpful in proper dosages. It's the dumbasses who use things wrong that fvck it up for everyone else such as the whole ephedra ban caused by people killing their hearts by taking too much whether it was too much at one time or too much per day.
It's wayyyy overblown the dangers of steroids. Really look at all those pro athletes. A ton are taking them. They're not dropping dead like flies, are they? But they're mostly under the care of a competent doctor who knows what he's doing.
Hell, aren't ALLERGY SHOTS a type of steroid?
I still wouldn't do them. There's absolutely no need for a non-professional. I don't even take ibuprofen or aspirin unless I really need to.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Oh, have you considered high dosage glutamine? That's supposed to work wonders on recover, boosting the immune system, and improving the digestive tract.
It's cheap so I'd personally at least try it and see what happened so not much loss if it's ineffective for you.

You make a lot of sense. But I'm convinced I over train.
Every time I do to much activity I'll get really sore, I'm sure my immune system is down. And stupid stuff will happen like pulling muscles.
I never get sick unless I overtrain.

It isn't getting out of hand, I see no reason to lock it yet.Warboss Alex said:
To the OP:
If you believe that dbol and other substances are going to lay down slabs of muscle on your frame, you're mistaken. Somebody else touched this base, but even WITH cycling roids it takes months and years to make solid progress. As Espi claimed, he gained 30lbs in 24 months. That is little over 1lb per month which is easily(EASILY) doable for somebody who hasn't found the proper stimulus yet.
It may be that your muscle building genetics are NOT in the top 5% of the population, and thus you have to choose between MMA and bodybuilding, because demanding both from your body is apparently more than it can deliver.
Good luck.

it can get out of hand easily.. this is a teenage board for the most part remember mate.Espi said:
if you think I am anti-steroid or something, I am not by the way. it's just there's a lot of misinformation I've seen (here and in other places, like .. "STEROIDS WILL KILL YOU AND MAKE YOUR PENIS EXPLODE") that such threads became trainwrecks very quickly.
as for Wolf, I've taken him under my wing.. it's time for him to grow.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

that's what I meant.. there's plenty of anti-chem stuff on here from people who simply don't know what they're talking about. on other boards (i.e. IM) a good proportion of the guys juice but there's never such arguments because everyone there is sensible, ya know?Espi said:
Its the dumb ass people that take them and go... Hey dude, I got gyno, can you help me figure out what I can do to get rid of it. :kick:
And on the overtraining deal, yeah its very hard to actually pin-point exactly if you are overtraining. Muscle soreness is not a set indication of overtraining, nor is being tired, etc etc.
Yeah, maybe if your immune system gets shot, but it could be other things too. Same with pulling something. Are you lifting right?
Now you can go in the gym, lift for 6hrs and KNOW that is overtraining. That's not the problem.
Its if your in there an hour or so, and maybe even 1.5hrs and you train, at what point do you KNOW that ok... This amount of Reps, sets, pounds, etc, JUST induced overtraining.
I could work out for 2hrs (I dont) but is it really overtraining?
We all normally dont do that, but that's why it is so hard to figure out. We have signs, and can maybe predict some, but there is no solid deal that says... Hey look, you're overtraining. We cant diagnose it really.
We'll look at Physiological aspects, and things like that.
Steroids are your deal man, but just know what you're getting into, and I dont say this lightly. You better research the difference of pills/tabs vs injections, the affect of the liver when you take oral roids, and many other factors.
PROS have Doctors cause they have money, and I doubt your going to be monitored with blood tests every so often.
You better think about things to combat Gyno and the such for certain ones.
All I can say is do be the dumb ass that so many young people are when they take them. STEROIDS ARE NOT ALL CREATED EQUAL.
If you seriously end up taking them, i'd highly suggest you pick up a copy of Anabolics 2007 from Bill Llewelyn. It'll be the best investment you make if you venture into that realm.
