I know gear was prominent in practically all sports in past decades, but I think there’s been an uptick in kids under 18 taking steroids. I’ve been lifting for 15 years, and when I started (as a teenager) I didn’t know anyone who did steroids. And trust me, no one needs to tell you. You can tell.
Not sure why this is. Possibly gym inflooncer bros pushing it? These kids do not understand what irreversible repercussions are coming their way..
When I was in high school, there was a kid that was taking testosterone and probably some other shit. He was huge and aggressive. I tried to avoid him because I was legitimately scared of him and he would get angry over little things. Eventually he had to stop taking the stuff and the side effects were bad. He was all sad and emotional because his body stopped making its own testosterone. It was pretty pathetic to see tbh.
It is the epitome of a poor time preference. Not to mention at 18 you are a hypertrophic monster! You can practically recover and grow from anything. TRT at 53 is a lot different than Test at 17. Unfortunately the kid at 17 doesn’t know that yet lol.
Difficult to blame high school kids for having high time preference. They have no rights. They have no skills. They have wild hormones and they’re surrounded by young girls who also have wild hormones. No productive outlets for them to deal with it and no direction in life because of their life long government school indoctrination.
I guess.
But you and I never touched em, right? At 18 I knew not to inject myself with anything.
But.. why would one want to take that shit though?
I've never understood
