ok, everyone i know is talking, don't get me wrong i love it, i am getting told "you look like a house", "damn you are huge" and all kinds of shit, but my parents are starting to worry me about this shit. My mom told me the other day, "you don't look natural anymore". Im not really worried about my parents, just my close friends. What kind of responses have you guys got when you told your friends, or did you. My friends are really naive and think steroids are stupid and all that other stereotypical shit. Just give me some insight onto how some of your close friends and girl friends have taken the news, or if i should just keep my mouth shut and let them think what they want

I wouldnt open my mouth....people talk to much, cant trust ANYONE, beleive me....best to keep it to yourself and just let people see how hard your working and your dedication.....dont even tell your best friend, they get jealous and like to start talking.....

hard to keep from drinking, cause most know your juicing if you dont drink, that is if you normally do, BUT DONT DRINK...let people know your "in training"....and the hell with what everyone thinks....

Hey Bro-Good question.

This always works for me. I NEVER come out and tell anyone about my AS use. If a friend asks if I do steroids, I say "Yes" and leave it at that. That seems to build curiosity in them, and they usually wind up wanting to know more about the subject, and ask more questions-sometimes good ones.
If you are dealing with one of those judgemental types, I wouldn't get into it with them--it's usually not worth it. Nice to hear your parents are cool with it!

Keep your mouth shut. People can think what they want all day long, it isn't fact til you fess up, so don't do it. If someone asks you how you're getting so big, tell them you're using lots and lots of ________. (fill in the blank with your supplement(s) of choice) If you're really puffy, tell 'em you're eating a ton of carbs and it's making you hold water.

People are funny about this stuff, unless they're well informed. I fyou tell them, they may make judgements about you which may or may not be true. Save yourself some headaches and keep quiet.

Hey bro, I can totally relate. My family is really close and if they were to find out I was on AS, they'd probably do an intervention, or try to twelve-step my ass. My friends, most of which don't train, are real critical too. They already think I'm big enough. When I go on again, they're gonna freak. I just don't say a word, or haven't in the past rather (haven't touched AS in 6 years). I guess I don't have a whole lot of advice, except don't drink. But, you're right, it does suck when everyone's talking.

The best thing is tell noone. Remember the proverb, Your best friend can be your worst enemy and an enemy your best friend.
Let them think what they want, but stay quiet. I made that mistake on my first cycle.
Info travels quickly among circle of friends, if ya know what I mean-grape vine and all.
I am at a size now where I have a big natural physique, this next cycle will definetly put me way over the top, people will be talking, but so what

Hey bro,
To tell you the truth, I don't think people suspect you of being on steroids just because you don't drink. I tell my friends that I just don't want to. DON'T TELL ANYONE!!
Truth is, you can't really trust anybody unless they are the ones who sell to you or use with you.

If you wanna put time in and explain AS to every body you know and familly then thats cool (too much time for me though). My Dad's a really educated man and I even got him to understand, so besides him I don't give a Shit. I'm a monkey for life!! I've never denied it, so you can either get huge with me or hate on me. It's your choice. Better hurry up and decide though Adonis, 'cause I'm gaining on you while you're reading this!

Just tell them that you're trying this new prohormone stack that's perfectly legal and that you've been eating weight gainer and you just seem to have the "genetics" for it!!!! LOL

original poster: what exactly are you using, and how much? You would be better off to use gear that does not cause a lot of water bloat, and to tan a lot if you experience acne. you can also tell people that you are using high dosages of androstendiol or one of the other prohormones.

You should hear some of the stories I've given people. I would'nt worry too much about it. Most non'BB'ers think we all use steroids anyway so let them think what they want. You'd be amazed at the amout of natural body builders who are totally ignorant to steroids. The joke in my gym is guy's eating magic chickens !!. "Jesus M..... your whacking on the weight, are ya eating that magic chicken ??". It's a way of saying, I wish I was your size but I don't have to balls to juice myself. What gets to me is when I'm told that I'm starting to lose size, Yarrrrrrrrrr , now thats a killer.

Just tell people you got this special "liquid creatine from mexico" that you have to inject in your ass.
No, but seriously. Don't tell anyone, unless they are juicing too. Even then, make sure you can trust them to keep their mouth shut. Just tell people that you have a strict diet with lots of protein and about some magic supplement that you've been taking. Most people think that Andro or creatine will blow you up, so they usually believe that.

I will be facing this soon. I have got some good size recently just eating a ton, using creatine, and working out like a madman. The prohormones have worked for me too. Everyone, even my boss, has made comments like "what, are you on roids" Most of my co-workers know what they are and have their suspicions already. One of my co-workers is a champion natural powerlifter; he'll be the most critical of my weight gain.

But who cares. I'll just tell them I found the ultimate andro stack and be done with it. Besides, they would never test me, it costs too much. And, all it would say is that my test levels are high. Which i would blame on the andro. Be creative, have fun. Invite one of them to lift with you. Then they'll shut up for sure when they see how hard you are working.
