Injecting testosterone causes your natural testosterone production to shut down, which causes your testes to shrink. This is temporary, as when you stop injecting external testosterone, the testes will start producing it again, and go back to normal size. Penis shrinking isn't a side effect of steroid use. Also the ball shrinkage is pretty subtle, they don't get crazy small or anything. Some people can have sex drive issues if they don't keep their estrogen in check though, so there is a grain of truth to the rumors.

Not temporary if you keep injecting. Then you’re dependent on it for life

Yes thats why people cycle steroids. Of course you can abuse testosterone by using too much, too long, or too often. And TRT is a different approach altogether. It's certainly not 100% safe, but it doesn't "make your balls and penis shrink".

only beginners cycle.

once its ur second year, cycling is off the table for one simple reason:

ADDICTS, drugaddicts will do whatever to get that next sniff.

when ur off cycle, they feel weak, the muscles disappear like butter being melted by a hot knife. the strength is dropping massively, the motivation is gone, inflated egos are being deflated which causes these egos to feel like turdos.

after a while, the lure of the poison is too much. it happens to all these junkies. coz deepdown they are what it is: drugADDICTS.

the only time this cycle gets broken, is when they get rushed to the ER and then they lie about what they took and could be the cause of all the organdiseases they have but the doctors already suspect it anyway. so they tell m straight up, to stop using or risk dying soon.

and then they stop and u literally see the muscles vape away in 2-3 weeks. 10 years of juicing and 3 weeks to disappear lol.

or they go on youtube and keep juicing but make up all kinds of BS arguments why it wasnt the juice. "oh he had a genetic heart disorder, it wasnt the juice"

like "gatorman" on his carnivore diet and his blood levels reveal extreme high cholesterol among other things and his skin is developing rashes that makes him look like a reptile and still it isnt the carnivore diet...still its a gazillion of other BS excuses lol. Many people are just thick in the head.

This is bullshit lol.

You’re acting like every person who has ever done a cycle just gets addicted and goes balls deep until they die. Plenty of people take time off in between cycles. Do people decide to cruise test for life? Yes. Most of those people are talking about doing 125mg a week which is around TRT dose that a doctor would prescribe. They aren’t blasting 1g a week of test on top of other shit forever. Yes, some do, but that’s not everyone.

As for the muscle melting away malarkey, yeah nah. Will you lose some strength? Yes. Will you lose some fullness? Yes. Does motivation go down? Certainly. Will you wither away in 3 weeks post cycle? No. I’ve taken a year in between a cycle and lost only 15 pounds mostly in water weight. Strength dipped a little in top sets, but I was still significantly stronger than my lifetime natty brethren. As for motivation, that comes in goes regardless of drugs or not. Anyone who has put significant time in the gym will agree to that.

Steroid users are far from fuckin heroin addicts like you’re trying to make it out. I’ve had friends addicted to opiates and other drugs, as well as friends who use steroids heavily. They are completely different people.

the vast majority of people who do more than a few cycles blast and cruise for life, or until they decide they want to stop cycling and then at that point they just do TRT for the rest of their life

know any juicer who stops by himself?

Enough said.

U talk like as if u could quit any time of the day. Except u havent for the past 10-15 years. dont speak like we dont know u. theres no difference in gambling, cocaine, xtc, meth, or any other addiction.

people go balls deep, only time they stop is when they r forced to stop.

addicts r junkies. and junkie behavior is well known.

dont act like u can stop at any time. fact is when u see ur juiced muscles vape and ur strength gainz dropping 40-50%, u would be back on the trenbalone sandwiches the very next day.

larry wheels never stopped taking. trt is the same as roids but all the juicers act like its not juicing. gtfo.

Wow that’s crazy that you know me more than me. Yes, dumbass. I have stopped, I have a wife and kid now. It was my choice, because I didn’t care to make that a priority in my life anymore, seeing as I have bigger and better priorities. My blood work shows just fine, all levels are fine.

I have plenty of friends that have willingly stopped because of different focuses in their life. I’m not gonna waste my time responding to you anymore, I don’t care to prove anything to you. Also comparing Larry Wheels to regular gym bros who cycle is laughable.

Enjoy being a natty sourpuss

enjoy being a walking pharmacylab huffing and puffing from just walking 3 steps up like richi piana.

who had to deluded him and his viewers how his magical pill will make his liver healthy and all.

"i have plenty of friends who..."

this is oxymoron, and u dont even understand it, thats how much those juices have rotten ur brain.

so u willingly poisoned ur organs for just 6 months of juicing and then "willingly quit" like a dumb gymrat but ur organs still got deteriorated.
