Why does the roid question bother anyone ?
I freely admit it to anyone who asks ( except in the gym where my time is my time ) .
Roids don't build muscle all by themselves or we would all be massive ... what builds muscle is hard work and breaking the pain barrier over and over again ...
Situations like you described above is exactly the kind of thing i use in the gym for motivation .. after all .. it's a mind game when your fighting your own body .. who will win ? your will power or your body crying out to quit ?
Is just more ammunition for my gym bag ..
