I tried steroids once, many years back now. I couldn’t resist. I wanted to know what it was all about. So I got some syringes, and some vials of testosterone and some other drugs and combined them in a way that was suggested to me by some people I had met online. I did everything I was supposed to do and put as much research into it as made sense to me at the time.
Cosby Steroids
What I found out was that at first I felt sick. I got bloated and moody like a woman having her period. Then after while, my lifts started going up really fast from week to week in the gym.
That was the good part.
I also turned into Bill Cosby’s asshole because my temper started getting really short. I’d pick arguments with people in the street. I’d drive like a dick. I started walking around with a chip on my shoulder all the time.
My blood pressure, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol (that’s the bad one) all went up as well.
These things are not healthy! And the risk to benefit ration of what I was doing to my body made absolutely ZERO sense.
Here’s another reason why using steroids didn’t make sense: My body hadn’t reached it’s own NATURAL potential yet!
The Sillyness of Steroids
There might be an argument to be made for an athlete that has trained to the extent of his potential (how many people fall into that category really? honestly?) without the use of hormones. If they use hormones it lets them break past their body’s own limits. Or maybe they are old and can add a few years to their career while competing against younger players… Or maybe they have a multi-million dollar contract and need to hit a certain percentage of baseballs outside the park…
But me? No.
