Missed the action.

I don't see a problem with people posting images of their torso or lifting weights if they are comfortable with it. It's only "gay" if you are homophobic.

Lifting weights is also an art, the user is sculpting themselves just like an artist would sculpt clay.

When you stop weight lifting your muscles do not turn into fat, just as the idea of turning fat into muscle is a myth. Normal life without lifting will see your body switch between anabolic and catabolic states. Catabolism is caused by hormones in the body, cortisol (stress hormone), glucagon (low blood glucose levels) and adrenaline.
After time your body will get back to normal strength and mass depending on your daily routines.
This also relates to why you need extra sources of protein in your diet (either by increased food or supplements). As being mainly anabolic will require more protein as protein is broken down into amino acids which form muscle tissue.

The only problem you might have is that the skin has been stretched and loses elasticity.

And btw I haven't read about health and general nutrition for a while (in depth), but these are the rough reasons off the top of my head why you shouldn't take steroids (like any other drug). I'm not saying they're bad or comparing them to anything.

- Firstly in pill form which are the most accessible forms of steroids they are very bad for your liver. Something to do with the liver metabolizing the drug, this process causes liver damage and stress. Alcohol and paracetamol and most other over the counter drugs cause liver damage also. Milkthistle is usually used to offer some protection.

- DHT is a chemical (dihydrotestosterone). Steroid use can increase levels of this chemical which is a problem for hair folicals at the scalp or anyone that has hair loss in their genes. This isn't reversed either.

- Testosterone secreted by your testicles. When using steroids your body significantly reduces it's own production of testosterone or shuts it off completely, this is because of the extra Testosterone like chemicals you are taking in steroid form. This is a problem when you come OFF the steroids, you have to take more drugs to try and kick start your own production.

- Infertility. Can't remember how but know it can cause infertility, probably linked to above.

- Moobs (gynecomastia) and lactating (milk). Men naturally have low levels of estrogen (female hormone). A side effect of most steroids is high levels of estrogen in the body, I believe the body increase its naturally low level of estrogen to match the testosterone levels in your body (could be wrong).
Certain areas (cells) in the body are more receptive to the estrogen hormone (such as the breasts), and this basically causes fat storage in these areas. You need to take forms of anti-estrogen drugs to block the cells responding to estrogen, this needs to be done for weeks after you complete your "course".
Not sure how it causes lactating, but I think the estrogen activates men's milk glands in the breast and there for producting of your very own milk.

There wasnt drama just certain people doing what they do best.

I think its very comical that people call "us" as arseholes although from the thread it is clear to see who is hypocritical isnt the word for it.

I had rage afore nothing has changed!

Anybody can get kidney stones so you can't direct that towards the suppliments, his a common case of someone not doin their homework and thinking steroids can bulk you up without any training
