4. I want to be a REAL winner.
5. I am not interested in being big to show and impress others.
6. I work to achieve my own personal potential.
7. If I start, I will never stop. Roid users eventually become abusers. If they don't keep using, they start loosing.

9. I want to be fair.
10. I want to set a positive example for others, especially young athletes.
11. I do not wish to support the illegal drug trade, manuafacturing practices or take steroids meant for a real patient who needs them. They all come from one of these three places.
12. I never want to feel guilty.
13. I don't want my self image to reflect bad choices.
14. I never take short cuts in life. I never cheat on my exams at school or cheat my boss out of money at work. I am all about the hard Italian work ethic I was raised with.
15. I never want to do something that distracts from my ultimate goal- to be the best me I can be. Taking steroids would make me less, not more. On the outside I would be bigger, on the inside, smaller.
16. I will always be able to look into the eyes of a roid user and know what I have acheived came from within! |
1.) I don't see how this one is a reason not to use steroids since steroids can help you achieve this goal.
2.) The health risks of steroids are often exaggerated, especially when used responsibly, I've seen bloodwork come back from people just getting off a long cycle and things were pretty much in normal ranges.
3.) Are you implying that steroids are somehow dirty? Or that they will corrupt you and turn you into a bad person?
4.) That's right, I forgot, when people use steroids they don't actually have to do the work, the steroids they use do it for them. In fact every person I've ever known to use steroids is lazy, has a horrible diet and routine, and just wants a quick fix.
5.) Niether are a lot of people who use steroids, a lot of people want to see how far they can really push themselves, not how far mother nature tells them they can push themselves.
6.) You work to see how far your genetics will allow you to go, not what your real personal potential is.
7.) Of course I should have seen this one coming, it's true though, I mean look at alcohol, anyone who starts drinking will eventually become an alcoholic.
8.) As soon as he mentions that using steroids puts you at risk for HIV I stopped reading, He doesn't know what he's talking about.
9.) You want to be fair to who, yourself? Others? Some random guy at the gym that you have a little unspoken competition with to see who can be the best so that at night you can go home and stoke your ego because you put up 5 pounds more than the other guy and you did it NATURALLY?
10.) You want to set a positive example fine, go ahead, but don't act like resposible steroid use is setting a bad example. Think about it, when your kid turns on the tv and all he sees are athletes being busted for using gear that doesn't send the message that you shouldn't use, it sends the message that you have to if you wanna be on top. Set a good example by educating children on why they should wait rather than just tell them, "steroids are the devil."
11.) The steroid black market and say, the cocaine black market are like black and white. Many times over I've heard of people who's source would try to counsel them on how to use things most effectively and safely so that they don't mess themselves up. How often do you hear about a coke dealer trying to counsel his customers on the safety of his merchandise?
12.) Why would you feel guilty, you're not doing anything wrong.
13.) Steroid use isn't a bad coice, it's neutral choice, that's like saying picking burger king over mcdonald's is a bad choice.
14.) Using steroids is not necessarily a shortcut if you've reached your genetic potential. Nor is it cheating in any way, shape, or form.
15.) Umm see number 5
16.) That's fine you do that, and he'll look into your eyes and see a man who's can live with being less than his best and who can live with excuses.
You act like using steroids is so bad, that it's cheating, but you know what, I've met people like you all my life. I used to be one in fact. After I beat them in a race, put up more weight than them, in highschool when I won a match all I heard was excuses. "I could have run faster if I hadn't had a cigarette on my way over here." "I could put up just as much weight if I spent all my time in the gym." "I could have won that match if I took supplements." I was somebody like that once. Then something in me snapped and I said fvck being second best, fvck losing, fvck excuses. That's why I use gear, so that I can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror knowing that I've done everything possible to be my best, I flip mother nature the bird and I go about my business. See, I can't live with excuses, can you?
