Would it shock some of you for the fact that I know quite a few trainers, semi-pro's & pro's that DO smoke especially when drinking... yeah, drinking... smoke? The answer to that immediate question is "yes", because smoking does NOT limit that person's ability or knowledge in the health & fitness field. It may make them look dumb or ridiculous but..... whose perfect?
trainers - nope that would not shock me, they are a dime a dozen and the majority do not know their ass from their elbows.

semi-pro's - not sure what that is? a top amatuer maybe? yeah that would sort of shock me, and I would have to say if they drink and smoke I doubt they will ever make it to the pro level.

pro's - hmmm...I would have to know who, maybe a washed up pro, not a current competitive pro, no way.

drinking and smoking would severly hinder a competitive bodybuilder, not too mention the extra stress on the liver combined with the steroid use. so, if a pro bb seriously drinks and smokes they're idiots and I hope they get cirossis.

I would not take any trainer or bodybuilder seriously if they drink or smoke, period. If they are stupid enough to poison their bodies I have no respect for them and would not listen to a word they said.
 
Markus Ruhl smokes :shrug: still doesn't mean its a good thing IMO, I just dont like being around smokers. Its a habit that you get nothing out of, it shows a weakness of the mind, its a waste of money, and you get zero benefits from it.
 
let's not make the mistake of confusing "health" and professional bodybuilding. the 2 concepts have little to do with eachother - seriously.

Good point. Steroids are terrible for the human body, but that doesn't make professional bodybuilders less knowledgeable when it comes to training methods and the ins and outs of bodybuilding. As well, dropping below 5% body fat is certainly not healthy.

that is an interesting perspective. :thumb: If they had a track record of helping people attain their goals, then I'd jump on board, but like JersyDevil ... I'd be on his/her case constantly about their smoking habit. :lol:

Nope, you can watch him toke up in his second video...

I agree with her statement, I find yours completely uneducated.

Please explain/elaborate. :)
From what I understand steroids are very taxing on the liver, hypertension can result, immune function is lowered, certain other hormone levels are lowered, cholesterol levels increase, etc.

oral steroids, namely 17aa's are taxing on the liver. besides that there isn't a "side effect" from using steroids that does not already occur naturally in the human body...

Well I didn't just pull that information out of my ass. I did look into the side effects of anabolic steroids out of curiosity. Is there just a ridiculous amount of misinformation on steroids available or what?

Yes, the side effects are exaggerated beyond belief, when in fact there is very little real evidence of any real damage done by steroids. When used "correctly", meaning reasonable dosages, done in cycles, etc., they are quite safe.

Ohh, so this is what you know based on worst case scenarios from people who abuse it and dont monitor their health.

Pretty similar to the "take acid and stare at the sun until you go blind" that the government used to spread around.
 
Marcus Ruhl smokes.. Would you take advices from him?



advices*

Well now I know better. However, I still wouldn't consider doing steroids healthy. It's just like how marijuana is relatively safe, but that doesn't make it healthy.

OMG! I kept thinking in lines of Tobacco but I forgot Marijuana! I know so many that use it and it's ridiculous and funny. Oh well. :shrug:

yes, and we owe that to the media...

the sides of abusing gh and insulin are far worse than those of abusing steroids

Safety has to do with remaining at your current health level. Healthy might imply promoting better health, and doing steroids wont make you live to be 215 years old.

Whether it's considered safe or not, I just don't like the idea of toying with my hormones. Don't confuse that statement with a factual item; it is my opinion and I am not arguing that changing hormone levels is necessarily detremental to one's health. I just don't like the idea personally. At the age of 19, I'm too damned horny all the time to be increasing testosterone levels anyway.

Nothing at all wrong with that. I dont like the idea of breathing in toxins all day long, but thats life these days.

thanks for perpetuating ignorance bro, it does us all so much good..
If you had continued to read, then you would have realized that I wasn't perpetuating ignorance intentionally. I did do research on the subject, but I came across misinformation. We have all been misinformed at one time or another. I corrected myself and admitted that I was wrong. There is nothing more that I can do.
