Is being accused of using roids an insult?

[alphaviet999]

Has anybody ever been accused of using steroids when you've only used supps and protein? Its gotta be one of the best compliments anybody can give you. Do yall disagree or agree?

[MrLJizzle]

lol i take it as a compliment but it gets annoying sometimes.

[AndrewStrength]

Unless they're being sarcastic... than no it is not an insult haha

I'd defintley take it as a compliment, expecialy considering you look awesome (no homo) your huge, though seriously dude grow the hair back!! you look much better with it.

[vtx7]

Compliment unless it is in a sarcastic tone

yep i agree.........

[fiveten]

its an insult to your integrity i think, but unless you're a jackass who tells people everyday yeah brah hit the gym brah yeah brah and lets everyone know your business, people are gonna raise eyebrows when you go from skinny to jaxxed

[TroJon]

You don't look like you're on steroids, so I guess I would ignore them as jokes.

Really if it's offensive or not it'll be dependant upon the other person's intentions, people might call you a dick, doesn't mean it's offensive, esp since mates call each other all kinds of names

[lancs_hotpot]

Definitely a compliment but it can get annoying when they push it, like when they dont believe you when you say no. Few lads in the gym i always have a laugh with about it. Sometimes i just say ''yeah i jabbed up this mornin'' because i get bored of trying to convince them lol.

[McGillacutty]

I'm a skinny little mofo (see avi), but I get/have gotten accused of it because of the vascularity in my arms and quick gains I made.

surprisingly, the accuser was not a noob, and is a big dude/serious lifter who I look up to at my gym.

my defense: "if I took roids, I think I would be a little bigger than 6'2'' 180."

[geiger5]

i get pissed. Ppl see someone big and their like o he's on roids.Thats why he's that big. neone bigs on roids. ****ing annoying

[mikec933]

it makes me think hmm everyone thinks i take em anyways so i might as well

[jejunum]

One guy said that to me once (no idea why, I'm small and not lean).
But I would take it as a compliment.

[AvD]

Yes and no but it annoys me also. Usually the people who say it are jealous and lazy.

[Be_Easy]

some people at my gym accuse me of using steroids lol It motivates the HELL out of me...personally, it's the best compliment. I basically follow the advice on these forums as far as nutrition and good form and I've made lots of progress compared to people at my gym who've been working out longer than me and don't really have much to show for.

[chicago-vince]

The only people that have ever asked me are fat/out of shape. Sometimes they're joking, sometimes they're sarcastic, but either way I think the basis of this questions comes from some sort jealously/laziness. It's the same type of person who doesn't set foot in the weight room, but thinks because they spent half an hour on the elliptical they're justified in eating a whole pizza.

I usually reply with something along the lines of "No roids, but I did just have pec implant surgery. Thanks for noticing!".

[chicago-vince]

Though I gotta admit it's an ego boost when people are noticing my muscles

[S_P_Q_R]

funny thing is that there are only a hand full of members who actually come out and state they take roids .... yet in the Us and UK they are now reporting how roids is becoming an epodemic in the bodybuilding world and how most people who set foot in a gym and start to take it serious do roids at one point or another.

[anonymous]

too be really honest...
most of the ppl in the gym will use steroids some or other time...
the gym their ass off and see little change.. then a friend of theirs use something stupid like d-bolls... and they see strength changes and some size...
so then they use that and see nothing bad happening... after a while they inject and see big changes, then they inject and use d-bols.. and then they mix the stuff up and inject more and use more pills.. cause MORE IS BETTER right?!?! and then they die from kidney failures and stuff like that...

so before you guys think about using roids.... read up about it.
Could save your life...

This. Anyone who has a decent amount of muscle or looks remotely like a bodybuilder/has over 13 inch arms is on steroids no matter what they say in some people's eyes.

Laugh is the best you can do... It is a compliment for sure

the funny thing is that the guy who asked me if i were in roids is 30 years old and has been lifting since his 18 so hes actually pretty big

hush roidmuncher!!








YOUR ALL ON ROIDS, *******S.

[Big Slim DaDDy]

it makes me think hmm everyone thinks i take em anyways so i might as well

That would be a great idea

[chickeneater]

so are you?....jk.....no really....are you?



is it ok to say no if you've taken ph or aas to "get that way" but maintained it?

[thicky]

People thik ANYBODY who trains at a gym is on roids

It's not a compliment, it shows their ignorancity.

[mikieson]

Not an insult to me. I have been asked before when I was lifting heavy and looked nice...I was never cut but didnt have a gut, was younger, and just nice thick and strong.

It makes you feel good cause you must be doing something right..

[Magicplant]

I have been asked by my mother if im taking steroids and also it has been mentioned around my family.
This is just because they have seen a change in my body in the last 9 months.
I take this as an insult to be honest. Thay are, in my eyes, saying that i cant do this without cheating. That really annoys me.
If you add into the equation............
1. i have been a qualified nurse for 15 years and am pretty careful with medications.
2. I gave up drinking alcohol 3 and a half years ago and havent touched a single drop since. I did this to try to maintain good health.
So why would i take steroids in their eyes?

So, if its family who know i am training hard, that counts as an insult.
But, if it was a gym member then i would take it as a compliment as it would mean that i looked big. Noone ever accuses the skinny kid of being on steroids.

Hell if i WAS taking them then i would have no hesitation of letting people know as if thought it was ok for me to do them then it would be ok for most others to do them.

[alphaviet999]

Awesome responses, thanks everybody!

[LilJohn148]

As others have said, take it as a compliment. As Ridiculous as this may sound, someone said lay off the roids to me yesterday when I had my shirt off LOL. Cause 8 months ago I was 125, and now I'm 185. I took it as a compliment.

Yes and No.

If someone ASKS you and you set them straight and they believe you then that is cool, like an acknowledgement that you are doing something right.. But if they ACCUSE you and don't believe you when you try to set them straight THAT is an INSULT, because they are basically taking away from all your natural, un-assisted effort.
