<why doesn't everyone just buy a sports car if they're so fun to drive?

It's not inject or swallow. Regular old endogenous steroids can be taken up transdermally, through the skin when in vitamin E/MCT oil, ethanol/fatty acid esters, or DMSO solutions. Some vendors sell their products this way. It's like applying lotion.

Your balls can temporarily atrophy as your body attempts to reign in what it thinks is out-of-control T production. Balls, not penis.

They work well but if you're on em for too long at high dosages you have to stay on for life basically, because your natural T production drops to lower than it was before if you quit. Also you shouldn't even think about steroids unless you've hit your natty limit.

Steroids aren't that expensive.

>>136865

Do you have any links that I could use?

Thanks for the help, by the way!

>>136866 (checked)

Ah, I see.

Thank you for the help.

It is nice to know that the shrinkage is temporary.

I was only considering using them for a brief period to get a leg up.

My new job is pretty physical and there are some things I struggle to lift.

Try taking SARMs if you only want a boost.

>>136944

You don't seem like the type of dude that should be self-administrating anything at all.

You can seriously injure yourself (not physically, but chemically) if you don't have precise knowledge of what you're dealing with.

>>136945

I appreciate the concern, bro, truly.

I just want a boost of strength so I can do my job better.

12ft concrete posts are quite heavy for me and I don't want to be holding my team back.

>>136965

You know, even back in Ancient-Egypt they had work-arounds for heavy lifting. What kind of slave-job are you doing? You should have some kind of equipment so that you don't injure yourself.

>>136966

>What kind of slave-job are you doing?

I make concrete plinths and posts.

>You should have some kind of equipment so that you don't injure yourself.

I lift the mould, that's filled with concrete, by hand and stack it on top of more moulds or, if there are no moulds done yet, I put them on sticks.

>>136972

For how long have you been doing this job? Maybe you just need to condition to it.

If those molds are too heavy for raw-strength, then you may considering trying to talk to construction site manager about pulleys. They aren't anything fancy or new, Archimede lived ~2000 years ago.

Also, consider the fact that SARMs won't give you super-human force, and PCT may be required.

>>136975

>For how long have you been doing this job?

A little over a month, to be honest.

>If those molds are too heavy for raw-strength

I can lift most of them but the heaviest ones a really bothersome.

>talk to construction site manager about pulleys.

That just isn't feasible based on the layout of the place and the design of the moulds.

Plus it would cost money to implement and they don't like spending money on things that aren't essential.

>SARMs won't give you super-human force

I just want a leg-up so that I can do my job better, sooner rather than later.

You don't need steroids to be able to do a job that other normal people can do just fine naturally. The mere idea is ridiculously. You either really just want the hypertrophy edge that comes with steroids or you have no idea what you're talking about or how strength actually works.

Even if you were on steroids, you wouldn't magically be stronger than the average guy. They aren't a magic solution to weakness and they'll likely limit you and cause you more problems than they'll ever solve. Unless you want to be some kind of fitness model faggot with very low body fat, don't even bother. You can get incredibly strong naturally.

If you feel that you're holding back your team, the cause is probably at least one of a few things:

1. You don't lift and you're out of shape. You probably don't have a good diet, and as a result you aren't very strong and aren't getting stronger because you're starving your body of the nutrients it needs to build new muscle.

2. You haven't learned the skill of working with those heavy objects like your coworkers have. A big part of moving heavy things effectively is knowing the proper way to do it, which you'll only learn from practice. Do things properly and you'll be able to lift heavier things with less risk of injury.

3. You aren't pacing yourself properly as you work and it's slowing you down.

Fix these issues. Forget steroids, they won't even help. Ignore people who tell you otherwise.

Plus, unless it's a really well fucking paid job, it wouldn't be worth all the costs of the drugs and the check-up visits you would have to do.

>>136977

How old are you? How much you weight? Unless you're a skinny 60 y/o, looking for a pharmacological help isn't the wisest choice.

>>136994

Maybe you're right and I'm just jumping the gun with the whole steroids idea.

You're right that I don't know much about all this but I do know that I need to get stronger.

>>136996

19, 65kg, and 6ft tall.

So I am pretty skinny.

First off if you're going to do steroids you need to do research so you know exactly what your options are, side effects, dossage, expected results etc.. and no asking a bunch of strangers on a korean tapestry weaving website isn't research Second if you aren't already a serious lifter with nutrition on lockdown and several years of gains under you belt steroids are pretty much wasted on you. Go to the gym, eat right, sleep. Noob gains are practically like being on steroids anyways but with no sides.

<Why doesn't the army exclusively use nukes if they, supposedly, work so well?

>>136972

You're going to injure your back if you keep doing it. Heavy lifts are done with equipment for that exact reason.
