No, but it can have effects on both your physical and psychological health in the long term, even if taken for ashort time. Some body builders develop a dependency on it in a very short time.

You may be one of the unlucky ones and develop a pyschosis or become sexually aggressive.

Your body, your health, your gamble. Not the right way to be preparing for imminent fatherhood though.

If you think you have an underactive thyroid then why not ask for a blood test before you turn to drugs? It's pretty simple, unless you have a medical condition that prevents it,, you are eating too much and not exercising enough. Anabolic steroids are just gonna turn you into a beefcake, the benefits you get from proper weight loss will not be achieved. Why not do it naturally and be a healthier father?


Ethel means you could become more easily aroused but with aggression. EG you are up for it, your wife isnt! You rape your wife!

A study published in the British Medical Journal (313;4-5:1996), looked at five cases of steroid using bodybuilders who had showed up at an infertility clinic. While the men in this study took extensive doses of several anabolic steroids, none of them claimed to know about the fertility reprecussions associated with long term use of the drugs. Incredibly, all of these men, showed ZERO sperm counts!

[Mr k]

Id also like to add the choice is yours if you take steroids or not. As with everything that goes in your mouth could effect the health of you and your sperm. As your child does not have this choice if your going to take steroids wait until your partner has conceived...

[luckyman]

ok that says it all...ill not be taking them.....thanks...........................also goodsoulette i want to add i would never contemplate such a thing!!!!!!!!!! never!!!

Luckyman, I'm not for a minute suggesting you would, it was an indirect you in describing the situation.

There are many reasons you may be struggling to lose the weight. But even with these problems, if you did 30- 45 minutes of cardio each day and as you are big man already ate around 500 calories at each meal and only snacked on fruit, you would see the weight dropping off. Your body can only deal with about 500 calories at a time, then your body starts turning the energy into fat.

sorry for the delay in replying, only came across this post whilst i was searching for something else.
there is a general level of ignorance of the use of anabolic/androgenic steroids (aas) used for bodybuilding purposes.
you should never ever consider taking aas when you have obviously no knowledge of them whatsoever, you have clearly done no research on the subject.
for a start i'm not at all sure how you think they are going to help with weightloss when the primary reason bodybuilders take them is to gain massive amounts of weight very quickly and to build more muscle (muscle weighs 3 times more than fat)
and steroids are not going to turn you into a beefcake, years of intense training and eating 8 meals a day does that, most bodybulders only turn to steroids when they have trained naturally for many years and have reached the limits of their natural potential.
if you suspect you have a thyroid problem go and visit your gp.
otherwise the way to weightloss is to follow a calorie controlled healthy diet and to take regular exercise, both weights and cardivascular.
