“I’m Never Going To Run Gear” – me

Date Unknown
Just like I’ve never drank or smoked, and never will, I’m never going to run gear.
I just don’t see me doing so.
I can weigh pros and cons, and it always comes up in the negative.
I’m not convinced that hormone replacement is necessary. My eyes tell me that mindset, mannerisms, and actions play a bigger role than anything.
A lot of the dudes I’ve met on gear didn’t really impress me. Appearing a bit better, and being a bit stronger than I was at the time.
I’m convinced natural potential is far higher than commonly believed.
Someone in this is rumored to be natural.
What you want to achieve is most likely possible given the years required.
Just like your physiology will change on gear, I’m of the opinion that consistent training gives you what is effectively the best genetics.
I wouldn’t want to fuck up my body chasing the fast route, when all it takes is a little longer, to get to the same place naturally.
Besides, if you’re not built as well as a presteroid strongmen, it stands to reason you still have natural potential on the table.
I don’t trust that I’d always have access to shit. You’re confident you’ll always have the money? The health insurance? You’re confident gear will always be in production and available?
(You’re confident you won’t get popped for intent to distribute holding your own cycle? Each pill can be a charge bro.)
If roid rage is real, I see myself as being that guy.
There was some episode of gangland or similar where a gang member was speaking of living on meth and steroids. I thought that sounded altogether too enjoyable. Ding ding ding! → Why I never touch shit.
A better physique by way of drugs resulting in prison doesn’t sound worth it to me. I’d rather build that physique training like a prisoner while having my freedom.
And you can lie to yourself to get into that crazy effective “survival mode” mentality. Need it.
Pushups, good posture, and strong mindset will take you far.
None of this is to say that I’m antisteroid. If anything I have libertarian views on the subject.
If booze is legal 21+…
If a shit ton of localities have weed legal…
Make steroids otc 21+ with a nice disclaimer saying “you break yourself, well you bought this”.
That’s kinda how I feel about drugs in general, let them…but don’t save their asses if they fuck up. Personal responsibility.
I want kids. I do. Rare to say for a single guy in his 20s, but that’s the truth. I wouldn’t want to mess that up for anything, especially something as mundane as aesthetics.
A self made masculine mindset will do far more for you than the short cut to the same synthetically ever will.
The dude who tried to sell me shit when I was 19 or 20, he’s fucking broken. He’s big, but that’s all that’s going for him, and it ain’t the greatest look either. Weird proportions, and by his own admission his body is fucked, only functioning by the gear he now can’t go without.
Before you use gear :
Are you eating nearly raw red meat?
Are you drinking raw eggs?
Do you talk to attractive women?
Is your mindset barbaric?
Are you training like a lunatic?
Do you ignore minutia?
What’s your discipline like?
Are you REALLY at your genetic limit?
I’ve met a lot of dudes that in their mentality are straight up bitches… who are running shit.
I’d have loved for them to hear that portuguese broad’s candid opinion of guys at the gym. Verbatim quote “yeah, but all the guys at this gym are bitches”. I laughed, though to many it would have been a soul kill.
A dude I knew, that I’m pretty confident is on, would accuse me of being on since I was willing to squat every day. Cracked me up, the irony of it.
Lunacy trumps “special supplements” everytime.
I’d love more to be on, as that makes natural progress even higher in achieved glory.
You need higher testosterone?
Go hit a bag. Take up a fight sport.
Quit watching porn. Edge. Talk to an attractive female. Do something challenging physically. Cultivate an unshakable masculine mindset.
You could inject masculinity (I’ve seen trt fail to override a horrible whining mindset), or you could get outside, do something manly, and make your mind unshakeable.
I know which I see as the better route.
And don’t stress so much. Stuff is either under your control or it isn’t.
Just expect life to workout, don’t self destruct with bad habits, while you do cultivate positive habits and a winning mindset.
Trust your gut. Follow your intuition. Embrace these things, they guide you well.
I don’t need steroids…because I’m a Man.
What is needed is true masculinity, not the synthesized form. Synthetic is just a short cut. The real road, the one that takes as long as it takes, holds all the glory.
Step up to the plate.
