"...men who use steroids frequently suppress their body’s own production of testosterone—sometimes persistently. A strength-and-conditioning coach in Ohio told me, 'Once you make that leap, odds are good that it’s gonna be for life.'"
Those who've known me for a long time will see that I've gained about 35-40 pounds and become considerably stronger over the past 6 or so years, after turning 40 years old. While I don't think my physique or strength are remarkable enough to inspire critique, I feel like just posting this forces me to clarify that I have never used or endorsed any sort of PED's and I would discourage any friend, and certainly my clients, from doing so, no matter what goal they may have. I don't know how popular these things have become in our own community.
Across the internet and in gyms everywhere, body-modifying drug use has become ubiquitous, effective and... normal. Can this really be a good thing?
