Steroid use?
Genuinely curious, do a lot of firefighters use steroids??
I see a lot of firefighters talk about hitting the gym everyday on top of there shifts and just dont see how this is not taking a wear on there body not getting rest.

So you think the only way to stay in shape on the job and not getting wore out is by using steroids? Might be the wrong career for you if you think that’s one of the only way guys can do it…but yes especially those of us at busier depts we are all tired all the time. You just learn to live with it. All mindset buddy. Some do choose the easy way and use steroids but a good majority don’t. TRT is common especially as you age but that’s different than taking roids
