I know this isn't the supplement section, but I just wanted to know if any of you guys have tried them and would recomend them. I know p0w3r will say "just use 'roids", but I have a wife and 3 kids and cannot jeopardize them or their safety. Any input will be appreciated.

have any of you guys tried prohormones or prosteroids?

honestly, i dunno what to say.
i'm against roids. and prohormones and stuff falls in the same category for me. so i'd just say :
if you wanna do it, do it good immediately.
but if i were you, i would eat another burrito and get back under that barbell....

PHs are pretty tame compared to the real thing, so I've heard, but they're perfectly legal. I personally don't like the side effects, illegality and injectibility of juice, hence I don't use. I would only entertain the thought if I had reached the limit of my natural potential, and my test levels had dropped drastically ~ age 35.

I've tried Androstenedione by Weider. I also tried Androstat Poppers. While I did kinda feel a little agression an hour after taking them, I don't feel the cost is worth it. I also don't feel that they make that much of a difference. Yes I think a guy who uses roids would win over the natural lifter most of the time. But I feel the natural lifter and the prohormone lifter are on the same playing field. I think the whole prohormone rage is just a marketing thing, and not worth the money. But if money is not an issue, go ahead and try them.
So I'm not as strong as you...It doesn't mean that I can't kick your ass.

prohomrones won't help that much unless your 30 or older, i would stay away from them until then
i'm coming along way in learning how to make my own aas, my chem classes are helping alot only if i knew what my teacher knows, only a few things i don't understand atm (thats bonding and esters) ive yet to read the section on them...right now were learning about naming coumpounds :roll eyes:
i wouldn't take prohormones there badI've seen a 15 year old deadlift 440 lbs. first time ever touching a weight

While ambition is a good thing, p0w3r, it took many years of top scientific researchers work to develop steroids, not to mention it is probably much more cost effective (and more potent) to simply purchase roids rather than make them yourself, assuming you could even amass the knowledge and equipment necessary to produce steroids...

only a few things wrong with this, is purchising of raw materials....I've seen a 15 year old deadlift 440 lbs. first time ever touching a weight

You are not factoring in the costs of raw materials and equipment necessary etc to produce the goods. Furthermore, making your own computer is usually more expensive because OEMs get major deals on hardware which you cannot (usually ) get as an individual. And btw, try making your own squat rack that is equivalent to one at a good gym... way more expensive to make.

Computers were cheaper to build yourself up untill about 2 years ago. Now with all the "chop shop" outfits you can get a decent one real cheap. This excludes ppl with hookups or those who buy in bulk.
pow3r, would you really try to make your own squat rack? I don't have a welder, and besides, putting over 500 lbs on something I put together from scratch isn't exactly appealing405/275/495 @ 181 lbs BW

i'm a homeade do it yourself kind of person, roids would be cheaper to make yourself especially if it goes through the hands of 5 or 6 people by the time it gets to you
making your own computer (putting it together really) is much cheaper, buying discount cpu, ram, hard drive, video card, ect. and putting it together...you could probably build a 2 gig for around 500$ why buy it for 3 or 4 hundred dollars more?
and its not very hard to build a squat rack with the right pieces of metal and a good welderI've seen a 15 year old deadlift 440 lbs. first time ever touching a weight

In general, OEM machines ARE cheaper and have been for several years already.
And don't compare expensive dell machines (actually, even if you do that comparision, you'll see it'll be hard to match their price for the same parts)
Really, why argue, someone run a test (im too lazy) go to pricewatch.com (DON'T forgeto add shipping and purchasing of a case, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. little details that add up) and compare that to what you get from DELL (practically most expensive systems). Even if you warez all the software, the DELL will still probably cost less.

Like someone said earlier, if you know somebody or get the parts wholesale. My brother is the manager of a Best Buy. He built me a comp for 300 bucks. Not a super comp, but it has 512k ram, 40 gig hard drive, intel celeron processor, a weird looking Toshiba monitor, plus a nicely pirated version of windows XP. Did I say pirated, I meant "borrowed". So I'm going with the cheaper to make yourself, IF you have connections.

Gaash, i was referring to say for example you want a system with a geforce 4 ti4600, blah blah blah. A machine you build yourself with the SAME parts as say in a OEM computer, you will generally save money. OEMS offer systems with say a fast processor, but cut on much of the rest of the system. They normally put in **** parts such as video cards, sound cards, psu's , heatsink/fan , and also cooling just so they can offer that p4 1.8ghz system for $599 or some crap.
Also, what tech sites did you work for? And my case is modded, got a window on it, with blue neon, 2 fans on window all in aluminum."I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen."

MAG-10 is supposed to kick ass. I don't know what it is, but it's supposed to be the Godfather of prohormone supps.

You can look for yourself. I know some guys who have tried real gear and they say this is the closest legal thing they have come across. I was thinking maybe 4 weeks on Mag-10, then 4 weeks on 6-oxo and heavy creatine. Here is the link for 6-oxo:

I've also heard that this 1-test thing is supposed to be a form of real test but that a lot of stores have pulled it off of their shelves. It's still available, but I don't know where. A lot of guys at Animals website were making it and a lot of other prohormones into an injectible with a kit. It's supposed to be legal and more effective than oral forms. I personally do not like needles and couldn't inject myself every day, but others do/have done it and say it's like a weaker anabolic steroid. Me, I'm just gonna eat tons of good food and train like hell.
So I'm not as strong as you...It doesn't mean that I can't kick your ass.
