Harm Reduction and Drug Use in Bodybuilding

March 14, 2025

the thing is that is it's that's what i've noticed living here it is very much uh an australian mentality to try to be the toughest person do the most amount of shit and try to get away with it and i remember the i was at a french gym here in brisbane uh powerlifting gym and one of the guys came he drives up in his suv gets out by the time he walked from the car into the gym which wasn a far walk his head was already purple yeah and he had a nosebleed And I like bro let what are you on He was on a thousand milligrams of Trinacetate I like Oh fuck Why And I was like and I have a theory I actually have a theory about this is that because everybody's getting underground shit that they were so used to taking underdosed Trin or underdosed gear that they'd kept pumping the doses up until it worked. But now underground stuff's actually getting pretty good. So it's like now they actually have real trend, but now they're actually taking a gram where they may have been taking 300 milligrams before. And they didn't think to lower the dosage when their blood pressure got to 180 over 100. And they started getting nosebleeds when they fart. Like the drug stuff really baffles me because I've never been a heavy drug guy. Like whenever I've done, I've pushed the limits a couple of times when I was in my early 20s just to see what it would do. Um, and what I found after a couple of weeks of doing stupid shit, I found, man, the, the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I'm, I'm not actually getting anything better other than side effects out of this. Cause I was doing things like 850 milligrams of Tren acetate for a week or a couple of weeks. And it was making me emotional and it is making me psychopathic. Um, and I was like, okay, well that's too much. So go down, let's say 200. And now I'm more of like a look. But Trent is so powerful. You could take 30 milligrams three times a week and you would be real fucking happy with that without night sweats and insomnia and feeling like you're going to beat your wife and that type of shit. You know, even like Anivore, I used to be in Anivore like, oh, guys got to have 60, 80 milligrams Anivore. I think if people just took 20 and kept their kidneys healthy, they'd be really surprised what even 20 milligrams every day can do.
