Do your parents know that you juice? How do you explain the 25+ lbs you've gained in the last few months? Have any of you run into this problem? Thanks. Charlie IP: Logged |

I'm at school and when I see my parents after this cycle they'll probably be surprised. I just tell them I've been eating alot and lifting like a bastard. And I tell them that I'm on all kinds of supplements. They usually go for it. They would never think that their son would do steroids....hehehe. And considering my dad never did them he wouldn't know. Well thats my story....are you having a problem or something with the parents? IP: Logged |

#1 nope. cause i dont my "twin does". #2 "twin" thinks the "Wow, going back on creatine has really made a difference" is a good approach #3 no. our parents think that 98% of foot ball players, pro wrestlers, etc are natural-its all just genetics and hard work. they believe in the testing process. not that its really concerns us since we live out in the big bad world and not a home. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Actually i have done the juice for four years on and off.(more on than off) However there were times were my dad actually went through my stuff and found needles and shit. I just blamed it on friends. Then after i wasn't allowed to hang around anyone because i used them all as scapegoats,they finally just stopped saying shit other than "don't bring it in the house" I see my parents about oncee a week now and if my girlfriend who i live with can see me grow day to day, i'm sure they can to. Remeber their not stupid, they probably know, but are to afraid to find out. IP: Logged |

First time I juiced was when I lived at home so I had to worry about my P's finding out. I started complaing to them about how tough my work outs were, eating A LOT in front of them. Also blamed my weight gain on creatine, weight gain shakes, and diet. Just make the natural stuff real obvious to them, like leave a few empty cans of protien/weight gain mix in your room. Then hopefully if your parents aren't smarter than you you'll get away with it. Ian88 IP: Logged |

I've used the creatine excuse on friends, but my mom is a doctor, and she has had friends that juiced. I don't think I can fool her for too much longer. Any more suggestions? My mom smokes pot, so I guess she can't get too pissed. charlie IP: Logged |

Yea I think I would throw the pot smoking thing in her face and if she gets uppity about it ask how many kids roids turned to heroin ,crack and prostitution,BTW if you really need to hide some of the gains try lowering your body fat levels you will acually look even bigger but you can prove to her you weigh the same so she must be imagineing things IP: Logged |

Can your Mom write you scripts? Ha ha just BSing. Emphasize the natural stuff. Because without intensity, dedication and attention to your diet, you won't have max gains anyway. Good luck Matt IP: Logged |

i really dont care what my parents think, they would say its wrong and all that junk, but they really wouldnt care. they never cared i drank, and they know my step brother was a pot head. just as long as he was off it during wrestling and i wasnt drinking during football. when my parents helped my brother move his stuff back here one of his roomates would come running out the bathroom w/ a neddle stickin out off his ass yellin "we got a bleeder", they just laughed. when i was back at home using there computer she saw print outs and asked if i was spending my tuition money on steroids, isaid yeah, joking, and she just walked off. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Well, Im almost about to turn 29, so I dont have to worry about that stuff any more. I came from a family of athletes. My father was on scholorship for soccer, my cousin won numerous powerlifting titles, my cousins were track.....the story with roids and ergogenic aids was no mystery to me. Shit, my old man told me how to get my first bottle of cyp through the mail! He also introduced me to a pharmacist and a good physician. The funny thing was, that I had it the opposite way, and decided not to do anything for five years until I took fist in my class in a non tested show. I still got pictures and tapes of my natural 5 years of training, and no one I show them to can believe that I had not even tried ephedrine. Pretty funny, my parents approve of it, and I was more cautious, took time to learn, and my physique shows it. I also was taught to respect the accomplishments of athletes and not use excuses like "its all drugs" dam, I have'nt talked to my parents since Christmas. I think Im going to give em a call and tell them how cool they are. IP: Logged |

I've had this problem before -- It's easily solved because most parents and girlfriends don't know shit about BB. I've never juiced, yet. But I have grown relatively fast. A couple rules I've thought to live by if you don't want anybody to know: 1. Don't wear 'revealing' clothes and try not to take your shirt off.. 2. Lie about your weight before you go on cycle. If you're 170 and you're going to start a cycle in 4 weeks, tell people you're 175, then 180. And if you end up at 190 after being on a cycle for 10 weeks, 10 lbs in 10 weeks isn't too drastic... just say you're overeating to bulk up. 3. When you're lifting with somebody you don't want to know.. don't max out in front of them. People don't notice as much if you're suddenly doing sets with 5 more reps in them than if you're suddenly benching 50 pounds more than they saw you do a few weeks ago. IP: Logged |

last year was my first year of juice, and i moved out in the winter, but this year i moved back home to save some cash so i could relocate... well, i gained 38 lbs in 3 months and when i put on one of my suits for an interview it didnt fit!!!! my mom saw and was like, jay are you gettin fat? i said yep!! that was that... but she see's my cupboards FULL of supplements, i mean i have a fuckin health food store in there so she calls those my STEROIDS... hell, if she thinks i can buy em from work then good for me. wait till i move down south and come back to see her, first time i visit i would likely be 20lbs more then i am now... FUN!!! IP: Logged |

I won't lie to people who are close to me, so all of my close friends, family and girlfriends will know when im on juice cause i tell them. What's the big deal, i think that lying to them would just be making things worse.

My father is an older man (mid 60's) and he is actually on a prescribed cycle himself, all he talks about is how great he feels and is constantly flexing and admiring his physique in the mirror. He has even offered to take me to his doc to work something out, however, it's kind of like getting drunk with your mom, it would just feel weird! My mom has asked me on several occasions at holidays, and I simply tell her that I'm experimenting with a new diet or training program, it usually works. A few years ago she had to borrow my car and found a few d-ball tabs that I had forgotten...she confiscated them and has never said a word since. IP: Logged |

my parents don't know because they would probably freak out. There is nothing they can do though cause I am taking 18 hours a semester in college and I am pulling a 3.5 GPA. So as long as my grades are not affected, I don't think that they can say jack shit. If they tried to take aways my college money it would not hurt me cause most of my money is from academic scholarships and pretty soon I am gonna transfer somewhere else and be on both academic and athletic scholarships.

After my first cycle, comments from the family were: "Went to school and came back with some shoulders" "Good to see one of us has some beef on him" "Hey, you're kinda thicker" butt, no one asked if I was juicing. I guess it helps when you spend the semester out of town. Good replies: ------------------ IP: Logged |

My mother went through my room a few months ago and found a few amps of sustenon that I was saving for a cycle. Now whenever I get mad or bigger she asks if I'm juicing. Kind of a pain in the ass because her bitching isn't going to make me stop. My advantage is that I'm 6'4" so 20 extra pounds is noticeable but not like if I was 5'10" or something.
