Thread: AAS vs BF?...

Higher risk of gyno. Also, people with higher bf typically suffer from high cholesterol and/or blood pressure, which will be compounded when taking aas. There's probably other reasons as well but those come to mind off the top of my head. If you're a power lifter it probably doesn't matter too much for asthetics but if you're using for BB, then aas is most effective when your bf is lower.

thanx was hoping you would reply RIPPED,you got me researching this and wondering bout it!
gyno,BP,and colesterol is the issue...
im not a lifter or BB just want to bulk up on my calves,biceps,forearms
LOL i ALWAYS wanted big guns and calves to match

BB is a generic term for anyone that trains their body for asthetics. I think most people think of the term as though you have to be a pro but that's really not the case. If you train to build muscle mass and for improved health and personal appearance than I consider that bodybuilding but that's just me. You can train for BB or PL or to be a sprinter, etc. Everyone has different goals. Just be safe bro. You can use aas at any bf honestly but gyno isn't something you want to mess with neither is long term health issues like cholestrol or bp issues.

Hit the nail on the head here.

The issue here is not juice, but your diet and life style.

high body fat already means high level of stress on body and unhealthy lifestyle and in my op this is more then aneuff of a good reez to not touch steroids.
as lazyness or bad diet will not change just because you start poppin pills ect.

but on a more tech level: more fat = more convertion to estrogen add in steroids and even higher chance of gynoe and high blood pressure. , ect.

Of note, the aromatase enzyme (the enzyme responsible for conversion of testosterone into estrogen) is at its highest concentration in adipose (fat) tissue. More bodyfat = more enzyme available to interact with testosterone, converting it into estrodiol.

good info.
