What are the <b>objective<b> reasons for a guy to <b>not<b> use? My first obvious reason is legality. Ok, let's assume you live in a country where its legal and you can just buy it like you would aspirin. What would be a guy's objective reasons to not use? I'm of course talking about just minimal doses, life-round. In essence, taking minimal doses to just get that extra edge of a fitness model. To maybe just maintain 10-15 pounds more than is possible naturally. I'm also assuming you're taking the right ancillaries for a good sex life and prevent estrogenic side-effects. Most of the anti-steroid reasons give are not objective at all but fear mongering. So I'd like to hear what are some objective, logical 'why not' reasons?

I've also seen guys build similar muscularity without drugs. But this is just my opinion and it's just based on this one specific picture. I have no idea what this guy looks like in person and I can't really comment based on one picture. Most pictures (especially professional ones like these) are heavily edited before you see them. It's very difficult to make an assessment based off of a picture like this. He doesn't look overly huge in this pic, but I've seen other pics of this same guy that make me question what he's done to gain his size. If you're asking because you really want to know, then track this guy down and ask him yourself. If you're comparing your body to his...DON'T. Unless you get an answer from him directly you'll never really know what he did to look like this (it could be 100% drug free, but we can't be sure). JB LN,
