Correct the other steroids can still cause your natural production to shut off which is going to make your body feel like crap.
HGH is going to be beneficial because of it's going to increase collegan in your body which will make your joints and ligaments stronger. It's going to help with wuicker recovery from from work outs. Also most people report getting better sleep while using it. So hgh isn't going to make you huge directly rather it's more of a behind the scenes thing helping you out. If you are predisposed for cancer though you might want to be careful. Hgh of course does increase the rate of cellular growth and division so you are increasing your odds of cancer by taking it, I'm not a doctor and that could be bs but I think it's worth considering considering
Also note the steroids OP listed are all orals, the list you have for steroids are oils that are injected.
All of these are used with a testosterone base. You don't want to run any of these without test. Some people back in the early bodybuilding days would use nandrolone (better known as Deca or the other variant equipose) as a stand alone cycle but that isn't recommended now.
Another thing that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere here is the use of HGH, IGF1, and insulin.
If you're training seriously for physical sport you need to be on an HGH cycle. This is something that isn't illegal(well its usually aquired illegally) and is prescribed through 'healtg and wellness' or anti-aging clinics.
Insulin is probably going to be more common for weight lifting because it is an incredible anabolic hormone. There are huge risks to using it and can kill you if you mess up. Shockingly anyone can walk into Walgreens and buy it though.
DNP is really nasty shit. It's very popular for bodybuilding because it really does work great but you can get yourself into serious trouble if you aren't careful.
Also running dnp in the summer is not something you want to do. Your body heat goes up like crazy and it's miserable in the summer.
The drug itself is just a dye basically and it will ruin everything it touches.
If you want to know more about DNP search /r/steroids for it. There's endless threds and posts about it's use.
I'll take a lot of stuff, but DNP is the one I won't touch.
Coming from an amateur bodybuilder yes it is everywhere. I've been on for a couple years now. Once you've done some cycles you realize how many people use especially what is known as 'fake nattys', people who claim to not use publicly in interviews and Instagram etc but have physiques which could never be possible without gear.
Most amateur sports from what I've found such as cycling (bikes not gear), martial arts, football, you can bet most people are using to some degree.
The op mentioned masters class, and there's a tight correlation there to older men being prescribed trt. A lot of people also take that and then up the dose a bit more to the point where they're running a full cycle and should be taking an AI.
That's another aspect as well where people will claim it's just trt dose, but no I'm sorry but when you got puffy nipples because of your trt dose and no AI you're on a full cycle.
