The sheer dosages, 2-3x what the Olympian was getting even in blast phases of his cycles

Sounds bad

It's been my experience that people using that shit off doctor recommendations use... a LOT of it. And don't do proper after-cycle dosing to restore normal hormone levels which is generally recommended. I had a source and sold it for a bit in my 20s. I knew proper cycles.

Yeah I've spent my whole adult life around PEDs - strength sports, bodybuilding, combat sports - and in this day and age there's zero excuse for not handling a cycle correctly.

I bet I could fuck up handling a cycle especially my first one

Mainstream strength magazines literally spell out how to do it safely. Shooting 10x the recommended amount doesn't do you any good, it just makes sure you'll die of heart failure in your late 30s at best. But things like "diminishing returns" don't go well with that crowd.

Not my thing, I'm just a drunk and used to use some stimulants. But those guys would go through it constantly, and it caused some serious complications. Actual atheletes were more careful with their dosing but bodybuilders and random jackasses would use insane amounts. Like stupid amounts.

Let alone the other shit they'd take in absurd amounts. I don't necessarily have a problem with PEDs, but dude... there's a point where you're just getting fucking high and sacrificing future health for a temporary gain. If you're going into cardiac arrest in your 30's, you massively fucked up.
