Using anabolic steroids during ll
« on: November 12, 2014, 09:02:06 PM »

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had experience with using anabolic steroids during ll to preserve muscle mass. Could one legally get a doctor's prescription for something like that?

Way too many side effects for a doctor to even consider giving you that. You will lose muscles no matter what. A physiotherapist will give you advice on what to do to fight against that.

You shouldn't - as it might negatively affect bone consolidation. No doctor will give you a prescription for it. As for losing muscles during LL, it's not the end of the world. You gain it back eventually. I'd rather focus on proper physiotherapy and a balanced diet.

I'll ask Dr. Guichet at my consultation. Also, losing muscles kind of is the end of the world for me.

LOL just be prepared to lose most of your muscle mass (especially your legs) during LL.

What's the big deal. just train them back up again once you've recovered. If you can't even make this temporary sacrifice then LL is not for you.

You clearly haven't met Dr.Guichet yet. He's the last person in the world to prescribe you steroids, and he might not even take you as a serious patient if you ask that.

I wouldn't be asking him to prescribe them; I would be asking him about the effects they would have on bone formation.

That would be great - it's an interesting topic for sure. When will you be seeing him?

I mostly want to know because I'm training for professional powerlifting and strongman competitions, and while I do want to get leg lengthening, I also want to know if using anabolic steroids to maintain muscle mass--and perhaps even decrease the risk of muscle contractures and lesions as well as increase bone mineralization--during the lengthening process would be a healthy thing.

Cycle after dude.

You don't want to be heavy during cycle and that shouldn't be a priority. If you want to keep muscle mass you could probably use clem for its anti catabolic effects.

But really just use your AAS after consolidation. I lost tons of weight despite fitness being huge for me, but you can gain it all back. If you aren't ready to make that sacrifice you aren't ready for LL.

Have you tried using steroids during the consolidation period to aid in the recovery of muscle mass?

Nope. Using it then isn't as dumb as doing it during LL though.

Are you trolling or just retarded?

You are asking why someone shouldn't take anabolic steroids? Do you know how many side-effects they have?

I don't think the side effects are relevant, since they are safe when used intelligently. What is stupid is being obsessed with maintaining muscle when there are blatantly bigger things to focus on during the LL process.

I know about the other things, though, and I know how to deal with them. I'm "obssessed" with maintaining muscle mass because I'm a powerlifter and strongman.

And I've made/make a ton of cash off my physique. Despite that, having been through the process I can safely say it should not be a priority and that you probably can't mentally focus on it anyways. What a waste of a cycle it would be, just do it post LL....

I have soon good results from G. However having gone with Paley once, I would drop the extra cash for him again any day. The PT center set up is great, and if staying fit and strong is a priority its good to have an actual team to work with.

Dude, you can take anabolic steroids, heck I've been thinking about doing it myself with the guidance of fitness pros (despite the severe health consequences its usage brings along). Just don't do it during LL, and certainly do it -if you definitely are going to do it- after full consolidation. Because trust me, steroids will hinder your bone consolidation. P.S: Fully out of curiosity, don't they test if you've used steroids at strongman competitions?

No, most don't test for steroids. But, even if they did, the drugs would only be in my system during the consolidation process of ll. By the time I do a competition, it would be a few months after I stop using (or about 5-6 months after the end of the distraction period).

Really hope you reconsider using it during LL. Its an especially stupid idea since that means you will be ending your cycle just as your LL ends which is when you can start to really be active and would benefit the most.
