James Mason starred in a movie about cortisone abuse. I saw it years ago, liked it, but not sure if it holds up.

Well, with men, steroids tend to make molehills out of mountains, if you catch my drift.

Nope..!

when he was off testosterone the body’s endogenous production has been shut down for some time. It requires time to restart.

depression during that time is extremely common, apparently he read very little about it before he got into it deeply.

The same thought popped into my head when I saw the forehead. I’ve seen people get depressed after stopping steroids. They were depressed by how fast their muscles disappeared after stopping steroids. I never understood people taking steroids just to get bigger muscles. I could see someone doing a few cycles to make it a little easier to bulk up to play professional football or another sport. Just doing them for few wedding photos doesn’t seem worth it. At least there’s a possibility of a big payday if you’re doing it to play professional sports.

"Great way to prepare for a honeymoon: bulk up your muscles, shrink your junk."

Yep! My thought exactly...Instead of the selfie, why not post a picture of his genitals? Maybe because the only camera with the resolution capable is being used on a spacecraft telescope...

I’ve been in this game, the bodybuilding one, and I can tell you that these guys get something we called “bigorexia”. The slightest decrease in muscle mass would cause an irrational amount of anxiety. I knew guys who would take Growth Hormone, and have to get surgery for painful Carpal Tunnel issues (a know side effect), and STILL use it afterwards.. its a mental illness, I tell ya. I flirted close to that edge at times.

No, he looks too bulked up. Probably couldn’t even bend his elbows. Just sick.

Back in my early 20’s I had a friend that used steroids and he also had a smoking hot girlfriend. One night I ended up with her and she told me that Mike couldn’t get it up. She was like a tractor beam of hotness...

Read up. This is nothing new.

Anyone who willingly takes steroids with today’s knowledge is an idiot.

Part of my work is with addicts and I have never run into an addiction to steroids.

>> He looks like a freak in that photo.

He probably looked like a freak in a full view or in real life, but all I see is a tanned, smiling guy with a big shoulder and the top of his arm. He looks as much like a defensive lineman as an over-bulked body builder to me... in that photo. The wife looks like a body builder, too.
