here's a twenty-two year old australian body builder that died from cardiac arrrest while vacationing in thailand though he had a congenital heart defect from birth which wasn't picked up on and feel cycling on and off of various steroids including more harsh ones such as clen and dnp didn't help matters any - zyzz

quick breakdown of my cycle including pct ...

test-e 500mg/week (weeks 1-10)

- 2 weeks after last injection

clomid 50mg/ed, nolva 40mg/ed (weeks 1-2)
clomid 25mg/ed, nolva 20mg/ed (weeks 3-4)

Im not a doctor. But, from what I have heard and seen I would never consider taking steroids. The "apparent" long term effects are enough to scare me away. I dont want my balls to shrivel up into my stomach and I dont want a heart attack at the age of 40. Plus, you cant take it forever and when you do get off of it your going to feel like shit after a while and probably lose that strength that you acquired while on the cycle.

Stick with the protein and aminos imho.
haha they don't shrivel up into your stomach, they shrink as they're no longer producing testosterone naturally but once done your cycle return to normal size and thickening of the left ventricle is from long term use which would cause any heart related problems unless you have an underlying medical condition. believe it or not most gains are kept, you might lose ten pounds.

i have a friend whose a nurse administering it, i'll get blood work done prior to and after my cycle, also had an ekg done which checked out great. my reasons honestly are just to put a lot of size on, i've been working out for about a year now naturally and while i jumped from 158 to where i am now feel i've hit that plateau.

real or fake muscles = beach muscles only kidding haha but you still need to work for them on steroids, they don't just magically appear because you inject some oil.
Working out for ONE YEAR and you think you've hit your natural plateau? I'd put money that your diet and training regiment is no where near perfect. Put 3 more years of dedicated training on and then think about going the unnatural route. Also, don't bother asking doctors, the majority of them are clueless when it comes to anabolic steroids or even bodybuilding in general.

^Exactly. Really one year? To me it sounds like you need to step up your diet and change your training up in order to break through that plateau. I would never touch steroids and I workout quite a bit. I know they would give me the results I want in the short term but long term everything points to very bad results. It seems like you are just bored with your program and are looking for a short cut. Plus 22 is still fairly young I am willing to bet your body will still develope a little further over the next few years.
