I know so much because I was very, very tempted at one point. Funnily enough it was because when I was 16 I wanted to be a pro wrestler (cool as fuck, I know) - I went to wrestling school and I told everyone there that I wanted to get as big as guys like Triple H and Dwayne Johnson etc..They looked at me and rolled their eyes. "You know they're on tons of steroids, right?"
That pretty much broke my naive little heart! The guys at the school then went on to inform me that they were all on steroids. I was surprised because they looked like absolute garbage. So I went off for years and learned everything that I could about the stuff because if I wanted to be booked on shows, I'd need to be big and I wanted to look a damn site better than those dudes without screwing myself up. The bigger guys got easier bookings. Luckily by the time I was almost ready to take the step, I fell out of love with wrestling so I had no reason to touch the stuff or to be huge.
Competing at that show in April kind of swung me back towards how I felt when I was 16. That you can build a fair amount of muscle without peds and get in pretty good shape. No need for me to use when my aspirations are no longer to look like an ogre.
You did well not to use them, the side affects are bad including premature death. How many wrestlers have died early as well as other athletes.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I would have thought people would be embarrassed to admit taking them, so would keep it as quiet as possible, even from friends.
It amazes me people are clearly so open about it when you are in that circle.
Go to any gym that isn't a chain-brand gym and you'll always hear people talking about them like they're sweeties.
I still get people everyday I'm there asking me what I did to get into contest shape and when Peds aren't on the menu, they'll always ask anyway "Didn't you use Anavar/dbol/test?*insert random PED here*"
It's like it's expected for anybody to be in good shape to be using. I'm just glad I got my 16 year old naivity back of thinking that hard work and dedication can get you there. For a career though, I don't begrudge anybody for taking the stuff and doing what they have to do.
