What I never understood and never will is: why do the roiding anyway? If you have a set routine and know what you're doing and have the discipline to push through... realistically, there is no need to take any of that shit. Are these zoom-zooms just impatient? I don't get it.
Ideally: you do the roiding to push past a plateau you just cannot pass on your own. Whether you're a football player, MMA fighter, bodybuilder, you can use steroids to get to a point that wouldn't naturally be possible. It's really about pushing on, using every tool at your disposal, just wanting to be the absolute best in the world or at least the absolute best form of yourself which is very hard for a significant portion of the population to empathize with who hasn't competed above a certain level when it comes to anything, really- it just comes off as vanity to them, which is understandable I guess (it often is that)
Unfortunately it's not always like this, lots of retarded (spiritual) niggers start taking gear just so they look marginally bigger at their dayjob of waiting tables in a mexican restaurant. That's pertty retarded.
When it comes to zoomers like
@Clavicular what likely happened is that they get sucked into looksmaxxing/ /fit/ / other adjacent spaces, not to mention in the past 5-10 years the amount of content you can find on optimal/safe/whatever steroid usage openly on youtube is incredibly vast with a big overlap between the looksmaxxing/pua sphere (I'm looking at you, Derek) , so you really only can fuck it up if you aren't willing to do your half an hour of homework.
If your only goal in working out, playing soccer, or anything really is just getting healthier (which is arguably the only right answer) then there is absolutely no point at which you should start taking steroids. One possible exception is if you suffer from eating disorders, taking certain compounds with medical supervision will likely be beneficial to you as opposed to years of severe obesity but these aren't the 'anabolic' sort anyways. The reality is most steroid users are completely aware of the adverse side effects, they just feel like achieving whatever they are trying to achieve is worth the faustian bargain of a couple years in expected lifetime.
