Do You Care if Non-Competitors Use Steroids?

[Horse Style]

I've seen a lot of people look at big, muscular, ripped dudes and, with frustration, say "he probably uses steroids!"

And I just think, so what? It's not like taking steroids and sitting on the couch all day will get you a Mr. Olympia physique. You still have to have incredible work ethic and dedication to building your body.

If someone uses steroids solely for aesthetic reasons and not to gain an advantage competitively, do you still commend the work he puts in, chastise him or do you not care one way or another?

 

[heavyarms21]

I don't. Some people use it to recover quicker some people want an edge when they train, either way you still have to put in work and I'll never be against people putting in effort .

I prefer all natty

I've got better stuff to worry about than whether people I don't know use steroids.

You've been summoned

 

[Jack Handy jr]

Awful thread btw per your ususal

 

[thehighking]

Not at all. As long as they don't claim themselves to be natural

 

[Smokes]

yeah. I hate cheaters.

 

[GalegoREB]

I don't care, but unless you are a pro bodybuilder or earn your living with your physique, taking steroids regularly just makes you a retard.

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

I don't feel any animosity towards them individually - it's not my body.

I do wish people were more conscious about natural limitations though. Lots of unrealistic expectations and pseudo-celebrity worship out there for low-key juiceheads.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

I care only in the sense that people love to deny it. Plus, it gives the general perception that all you need to do is workout hard and look like some of these people. The deception bothers me.

Most people don't realize all of their favorite celebrities or athletes are on a cocktail of PEDs to look the way they do.

 

[AgentSmecker]

As long as they don't act like tools then let them bang all they want. I've known a few guys in the gym who were habitual roiders and you couldn't meet nicer fellas. Sadly the majority walk around with a huge chip on their shoulders whilst carrying dem imaginary water buckets.

I'd like to think I do too, it may be a talking point for me but still it shouldn't concern me too much.

 

[MikeMcMann]

I've known a lot of guys like the TS details. I generally feel sorry for them. Not over the top, but in a small way because, as he points out, they work incredibly hard, are dedicated but are also so insecure they are willing to harm their future health. Why not just work hard with the dedication and be happy with whatever gains you get naturally?

 

[all caps]

Your body, your choice.

I think it's an insult to God and evolution, but do you.

 

[Estemachine]

Let everyone do what they want, if they aren't natural one day their body will tax them, one way or another.

 

[TheTickG]

I care. Why? EVERYONE IS COMPETITION!

 

[nicapica]

I don't care, but unless you are a pro bodybuilder or earn your living with your physique, taking steroids regularly just makes you a retard.

id rather be hooked on crack or some other hard drug honestly. proper cycles are expensive as hell. then theres all the after affects and organ damage that come with juicing.

 

[TheLinguist]

Taking roids just to look good and attract the attention of others?

MENTAL ILLNESS

I tend to avoid those people. I needn’t say anything because we all know the person has major issues and doesn’t need more reason to get angry

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

they're not punching anyone in the face -at least legally - so I have no issue with it.
