Why I don't take steroids

Published: Tue, 07/21/15

If at age 16 you looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger 
when he was 16, you wouldn’t be here right now. 
Rumor is, Arnold ripped his own umbilical cord out.  

The genetically gifted can lift more. Multi time Mr. 
Olympia champion Jay Cutler bench pressed 315lbs 
the first time he walked into the gym. 

Could you do that?

They don't get as sore. They stimulate protein 
synthesis at a greater rate; they can train more frequently 
and this ultimately is the key to faster muscle growth. 
One of my favorite saying, “You are what you can 
recover from”
 so, yeah, they have an unfair advantage.

For you to try to take their advice to get their results 
is ridiculous. It’s like taking wealth-building advice 
from a guy who inherited a fortune. Even though he 
has the money, he doesn’t know how to go from 
nothing to wealthy. His methods don’t apply to your 
situation.

With that being said, there ARE a few exceptions. 
For me to say that you can’t learn anything from any 
bodybuilders using steroids would be ignorant and 
hypocritical of me.  

Not every juiced up bodybuilder is your enemy, but 
most of them are because, frankly, they can do 99 things 
wrong and 1 thing right and still make gains. A good 
rule of thumb is to avoid bodybuilders with a grade 5 
vocabulary and who can’t intellectually explain why 
they do what they do. They are pretty easy to spot. 

Finally, the longer you use steroids, the greater the 
risks and the greater the chances that you’ll screw up 
your health, go broke, get addicted, get caught, or all 
of that. I would say that more than 98% of the people 
following this newsletter are not signing up for that, 
which is why I rarely ever discuss steroids, but if you’ve 
been tempted to try them out, take what I just said 
seriously. 

Here’s my biggest issue with steroids: While your 
gains come faster, they’re fleeting. A body built with 
steroids doesn’t belong to you. It’s on loan. You’re 
renting it for as long as you can keep up the façade. 
As long as you can afford it. As long as your health 
doesn’t take a dive. As long as the risks outweigh the 
rewards. As long as your livelihood depends on it. 

As soon as you stop taking the juice, they disappear. 
You lose practically everything you gained, except a 
pair of bitch tits to go with your flab… and a complex.  

When you build muscle naturally, it’s not going away 
unless you stop working out. Your gains are permanent. 
Your body is yours. You built it. You own it. 

Unless you want to be a pro bodybuilder there's no
reason to mess with illegal steroids.
