Current Events > Does it look like I take steroids?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I need close up shots of your nipples to confirm

lol at the perspective of the first pic. It looks like you are the same size as the DBZ DVD set

idk what a steroid user looks like tbh, i wouldnt assume it about u. u just look like a really fit guy

Looks like you can knock a mother fucker out if they come steppin wrong

Need more info. How long have you been lifting?

Going from that to that in a 3-4 years seems completely normal even if you aren't going on a consistent schedule. That to That in 6 months to a year, yeah I'd say you were probably taking something.

Dude over here thinking we aint gonna notice him just blatantly posting pics of prime Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner.

You look very cut, but normally are not people who riod up more beefy ? Note this isn't meant as disrespect, you look like a Black Finn Balor . So mad ups.

Looks like you need a damn bookshelf.

No
Also steroids not only make your muscles bigger but they make your organs bigger too, that's why they got that stomach bulge

I did take some boxing lessons purely for self defense purposes but hopefully it will never come to that point.

I've been consistent from 2020 until now. Even during lockdowns, I was a few weights at home so I could still exercise. In 2019, I was on and off due to being new at the gym and having no idea what I was doing.

If only women in real life would approach me. I still have to make the first move 90% of the time.

My thoughts exactly. The people I've seen at various gyms on roids are much larger and fuller. You can still be on steroids and have a more lean look depending on a lot of factors from my understanding but usually, steroid lifters are bigger. Thank you for the compliment.

True, but that takes a bit of time to happen, right? Some of the guys at my current gym are using steroids but they're still very lean but they're still very young. One of them is 20 and he looks far older than me already.

That 10% is probably still a good 10% better than like 50% of the guys on CE.

Its all about perspective.

They're easy to get. Many of the steroid users at a gym will point you in the right direction if you ask them. You can buy them online, through personal trainers, coaches, etc. I believe many steroids are illegal without a prescription but nobody will probably bust you for taking them. It's becoming more common in the fitness industry to be on some sort of enhancement these days.

Despite the obvious dangers of steroids, a lot of people still take them to get fast results. Unfortunately, quite a few people don't take for the long term.

Right, I'd have to sacrifice leanness to put on a lot of mass. I don't think a bigger look would suit me personally

Not at all. Your muscle mass doesnt exactly look huge (not meant as an insult). The thing about your body that stand out is that your body fat percentage is impressive, more than muscle mass.

You look perfect

Nope. Nothing to me screams steroids. When, I think of steroids, I think of huge muscles on them (usually), and a fast gain in a short amount of time. The muscles also look really weird.

That being said I don't know if steroids=automatic big. Duration matters. Obviously eating more makes lty big.

You just look really cut/low body fat and that's pretty reasonable to get in 4 years.

wrong. the stomach bulge is usually from growth hormone. sometimes they fucked around and had too many carbs before a show.

I personally don't think my physique is crazy or anything.

Lol, ok bro

You got a good physique and it doesn't look like steroids. It does look like you're taking some kind of performance enhancer is all. I remember your past issues and it's good you've made it through that college life and was able to move on.

Get your room in order.

like 90% of others i voted on the first pic, "no"
but i can see why some people think you might be

Height?

Looks like lean, toned muscle to me, not steroids at all

People are just jealous and use steroids as a way to dismiss your effort

Why you in you're Moms bathroom?

Doesn't look like steroids at all, but I remember someone here awhile back accusing you of it. Youve posted puctures here over the years and youve had pretty reasonable results that would just come from hard work. You'd probably be huge on steroids.

Anyway, your arms look bigger than I remember. So grats on that

No you don't look like it to me. However I'm super jealous of how long your hair is. Mine grows to a certain point then it slows way the hell down. I always end up with a mini fro. Usually takes me a year after that point to get anything like cornrows.

True. I think a lot of the lonelier men on CE have potential. They just need to work on themselves a bit. I would not have had the success with women I've experienced if I stayed in my room all day and hated myself like back in 2019.

I wouldn't have taken it as an insult. Yeah, maintaining a low body fat percentage year round is hard haha. I definitely don't recommend it unless you don't see the usual side effects that stem from being lean. Thank you for the compliment.

Aside from health reasons, one of the biggest motivators for me to stay away from steroids is hair loss. I love my hair so much that I'd rather not take the risk. If I end up going bald later in life, then it should be at the right time naturally.

emblem-man posted...

Lol, ok bro

I was being serious but I often compare myself to fitness influencers online since a lot of my YouTube and social media feed is fitness related. I tend to watch a lot of videos on correct form, dieting, and so on. I'm exposed to a lot of people who look very good,

I could see an argument for me taking a performance enhancer. People do come to me sometimes and ask me how I can go from bench pressing to heavy squats to weighted pull-ups all within the same workout.

Yes, I'm glad that everything from my past worked out in the end. Self improvement and slowly working on bettering yourself every day does wonders for your life. Hitting rock bottom gave me new perspective on life. I realized that I wasn't taking care of myself and I was making poor decisions. I am glad that you remembered those times. It shows that you cared.

1st pic looked like you had a cut going, but you needed to eat a damn sandwich. You certainly looked haggard, my dood.

I've thought that as well. It's a shame because I'm always down to help anyone reach their goals especially for exercise.

My Mom's bathroom is actually way bigger but she likes to decorate every room in the house. If it was up to me, that bathroom would be plain but it's not my house.

Right, I remember that user who thought I was on steroids. I'm cool with him(I think) these days thankfully. Yeah, on steroids, I would probably look massive in terms of muscle.

I've been hitting arms a lot more lately. I wasn't satisfied with them so I switched up my routine a bit and it seems to be working. Thank you.

How long would you say that your hair is? If you had to guess? My hair tends to grow fast and some of the hair strands go almost to the floor. I think mini fros are great. It can take a while to get my hair ready for the day.

If I had to guess so far about 4 inches. Planning on straightening it when it's log enough. Lol I have to deal with the loose hair all the time. Every time I pick it out there's a ton.

Yeah, I feel your pain in that one. My hair becomes loose at the day goes by. I have to take a few minutes to pick it out every few hours. Otherwise, long strands will begin to hang down my face.

Im not sure what your hair looks like but itll hopefully look great once its straightened out.

I'm part Korean so when it's straight it's slightly curly at roots and straight on the ends. Normally it's pretty tight packed curly. Super manageable when it's short and at best an annoyance when it's long and not straightend

One of the giveaways for steroid use when bulking up is the "ballooned" shoulders, which I'm not really seeing.

I've lifted for 10+ years, and you do not look like you do steroids. Your body and physique are amazing. So whatever you're doing, keep it up, but you don't look like you do steroids.

Lifts?

You have good ab genetics. Besides that nothing is crazy about your body after 4 years of training.

I admit Im a little envious of people that can achieve results like this.

No.

Nah, definitely doesn't look like it.

Hm, it sounds like you have great hair. As you said before though, growing it out is the hard part. I think I lucked out with fast growing, thick hair. Not even my siblings have hair like mine.

Thank you. It took a while to figure out what works for me. I did a lot of experimenting early on and I still do just to make the routine fresh.

Lifts?

I do a variety of different lifts but for each muscle group, I aim for 8-12 working sets. For chest, I always do two different pressing movements with dumbbells(flat and incline) and some type of chest fly. Occasionally, Ill do weighted dips.

For back, I always do weighted pull-ups. In my opinion, thats a really good lift for making your back thick and defined. It also gives a fantastic biceps and forearms burn. Ill do a horizontal pull like a seated row. Some days, Ill do rack pulls to switch it up. For lower back, I spam back raises towards the end of the workout while holding a few plates.

For legs, back squats and Bulgarian split squats. Ill also do leg extensions, seated leg curls, and single leg RDLs. Standing calf raises at the end of the workout are superb.

For biceps, aside form pull-ups and chin-ups, Ill do some type of curling movement. Ill usually stand against a wall while curling so I dont swing and use momentum. I do all of my triceps work at the cable machine. Triceps push down with a bar and a rope and then triceps overhead extension with the rope.

For shoulders, I like to do a standing military press usually with the barbell if one is available but dumbbells work as well. I spam lateral raises and rear deltoid flies as well.

For forearms, I mainly do farmers walks for 30 seconds to 1 minute but my forearms get worked a lot during weighted pull-ups. Abs is just cable crunches, decline weighted sit-ups slow and controlled, and hanging leg raises.

Thanks and true. I think something like mine is achievable with enough hard work over a few years.

Dark_Arbron posted...

Im not sure what your starting base is but you can probably do it as well. The hardest part is consistency with exercising and watching what you eat. The hardest part for me was cutting down on fast food significantly and learning how to properly cook healthy meals.
