What are your concerns and things that worry you about the bodybuilder/aas lifestyle we partake in? mine would def be being shutdown..although i was married i didnt have any kids and i really want some..also things that mkae me nervous are hearin about the premature deaths etc.. i know there are tons of factors that play a part in this but these things make me think..i am currently tryin to get in touch with a doc who deals first hand with aas users/hrt patients and would like to get his thoughts on lots of things and i will gladly share with you what i hear( thats if he wants to chat)...so lets hear your concerns and why they concern you


ps this was just a broad statement/question on my part..i know we take extra precautions etc and try and live as healthy as possible just lookin for some conversation and ideas and thoughts

Im still very young and would be crushed if I found out I could not have kids because of AAS use. BUT, by time I am ready to have children they will be able to just take a semen sample and take it from there, if my count is low they will just have to find a strong swimmer and send him towards the promise land. Might set me back a few thousand dollars, but ive thought about it lots.
 
I had a test done last Fall to count all my little men. I had 3 million as opposed to 300 million. The doc said though it would be a little harder to conceive a child, I'm "still dangerous" to quote his words. This is after being on HRT for 5 1/2 years, but that's just test cyp. I don't know what all the other compounds could do to you in that regard.
 
I don't want kids so I figure by the time the mrs. Is ready my swimmers will be long dead. That's the plan anyways
 
Well you can always die trying.


My worries are the same........Health and longevity. Im glad I slowed down my AS use in my late 20's.

I had too friends die over the last 7 years. Both AS users ,both in there 40's and both died of a heart attack.......Coincidence? maybe........maybe not.
 
I've already had a few scares. Varicosceles in both testes dropped my semen count to 17 million and you need to be at 20 million or higher to be called fertile. After surgery I'm at 57 million which should be plenty to spawn a few rug rats. Prostatitis probably brought on from playing with IGF is easily kept under control by taking Saw Palmetto which I highly recommend every male over 30 be on every day.
 
I have one varicoscele, but my doc said it was nothing to worry about. Not having kids anyway. What exactly are the symptoms of prostatitis? I don't have it I'm sure, but I've done a few cycles of IGF, and I'm 36 so I just want to be safe.
 
My major worries are that i become dependent on aas as i age (I'm still a spring chicken when compared to someof yall), not letting go of past PR's set in the gym. I always want to lift more and outperform myself but there comes a time when you have to change your goals.

As for kids, I do want to have a son. Someone to pass everything I have learned and also to keep the family name going. I mean c'mon my name is famous
 
funny you should ask this IP I actually was taling to the GF last night and said this future one might be the last for a while. All this talk of enlarged hearts and heart attackes with guys below 50 scares the shit out of me, I stay on a good bit and well maybe its time to go back to only 3 months out of the year or maybe every other year, lol. I think as I get older and got the GF my prioirties have changed, don't get me wrong I will be in the gym bustin balls but I am not sure that I feel its worth the risk to get to that next level anymore. But who knows I could say fuck it tomorrow, dump the bitch and grab a pin. But basically asvesre health effects are the main concern.
 
Stayin health and good shape is my concern.,....kids i would like to have many, so hopefully when the time comes i should be slowed down with the use.....
 
all the reasons above i have thought of myself. that is part of the reason i've been clean for the last 6 or so months. unless i choose to compete [not likely] i will try and stay off, or at most just do light stuff. i think i have a prostate problem and high bp right now and i've been off for a long time. thats the type of stuff that worries me.
 
Yep...After being off for many many months I've realized all the problems that I encountered while on. Some of which have been quite bad and I ignored them because of my strength and muscle gains. Very high BP...I.E. ~165/100 at the highest, Bad acne, gyno, Prostate problems(I.E. Blood in my seman). Still after being off for many months I'm still battling with the gyno.

If/When I do decide to use again it will be very moderate doses, and extra hard work in the gym. I don't want to have a stroke, heart attack, or be infertile in my early to mid 20's.
