Many people going to the gym take anabolic steroids like clen and Anavar. How long will it be before they begin damaging their livers?

I own this material on Quora originally

Clenbuterol

Firstly, ‘Clen’ is a beta agonist and not an anabolic steroid.

Its clinical use is for asthma.

Pictured: What people think is going to happen on clen.

In all reality?

Clen has a slight ‘anti-catabolic’ effect but, it's nothing anyone with a shitty diet is even going to notice.

If I had a dime for every time a guy said some ventipulmin was “underdosed” when I basically pulled the bottle out of a horse's mouth at the racetrack…well, thats just a shitty diet in action.

ANAVAR  (Oxandrolone)

has been shown to have a “beneficial” effect on the liver at therapeutic dosages. 

What are known as therapeutic dosages are not what people generally take when “on cycle” and so you can generally throw out most of the shit that people bandy about online and at the gym. 

In fact, most of the people giving “steroid” advice should shut the hell up and go back to their dungeon.

Most are just blathering out of their ass about receptors this, pct that and in fact they have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT> I repeat. no idea. 

Being a pro-bodybuilder in federation x does not make one an expert and being on youtube also does not make one an expert..no matter how jacked you are or how many people you have helped with “contest prep”.

Those that use will always have a skewed view and “silver lining” for you as it is their way of rectifying their own cognitive dissonance and if they actually knew what a nice, balanced metabolism as well as psychological profile was without the interference of hormones and drugs…well, the fish in water doesn’t know its swimming does it?

As with all drugs, they both have side effects.

There are no drugs that do not.

Anyone that thinks that they are going to escape a life-long pursuit of messing with the chemical messengers that run our biology in unison with a myriad of other factors that we don’t even totally understand yet…is not one of those that has any type of common sense and also does not really understand physiology.

Some of us wake up…some will not.

Pictured: Anavar, aka Oxandrolone> I never liked it.

Kills your appetite and seeing as anything (yes, even one pill) is going to shut down your own production OR at the very least, dysregulated your system…why would you bother with a wimpy drug that still is going to give you side effects when you could just take testosterone which is the closest thing to your own TESTOSTERONE?

I don’t recommend that either.

Remember, bodybuilding is dead.

It died in 1996 and it is a pipe dream for those that think they will become a pro bodybuilder and escape unscathed.

In fact, bodybuilding is probably turning over in its grave as supposed experts like Lui Marco are spouting their drivel online.

It ain’t just steroids anymore boys (and man-boys…oh, I mean girls that look sort of like men after their plastic trophy falls apart and they can’t stop shaving everyday for the rest of their life)
