it wasnt a negative response aimed at you but at the sort you were saying will reply on a bodybuilder forum, i took the steroids for 6 months,1 month on 1 month off, i was doing the weight lifting for a few years thereafter. the steroids gave me the quick fix at the beginning to give me the confidence to continue . if id done it for months with very little change then id have most likely given up.
the best place for advice if from the guys youll meet at the gym, avoid the huge posing types who seem to do nothing but look at themselves in the mirrors though.
just my personal experience. it worked for me short term and from what im reading here the op sounds like hes after the same sort of thing and having actually taken the same stuff myself i do feel i can offer first hand advice whether 10 years on or yesterday doesnt matter....
oh yes, i forgot to add i had no side effects or bad experiences.
