Did you have a specific reason for using them?

Did they work?

Did you experience any side effects?

Yes. I initially used them to help keep muscle while I leaned out in college. After that, I loved what they did for me and I used them for gaining size.

I did several cycles. The first was winstrol and deca. After that I making my own testosterone and trenbolone. I did 3 cycles of that.

They were effing awesome. I felt like they let me fully take advantage of my hard work in the gym.

I had some mild sides that differed with the cycle and substance used. During the cycles my skin actually cleared up (hormone stabilization), my hair started to thin a bit, sometimes I felt a bit anxious or on edge, but overall I was happier and more confident with them. And the best side effect was that I got strong as hell on the tren - my strength greatly outpaced my muscle growth.

Coming off was the worst time for sides.

Interesting. How did you get introduced to it? How long did the effects (good and bad) last?

I looked into it when I was looking for ways to get rid of some "baby fat" that I had since I was a small kid. I had some pudge around my sides and on my chest that didn't totally go away despite leaning out pretty well in high school. I could see abs, but I still had funny little flab pockets.

Around the time I graduated high school, I started searching the internet for things to help me lean out and I ran across conversations about T3 and Clenbuterol. I considered those, but everyone warned that using those without steroids would eat your muscle away just as fast as it ate your fat. I because a steroid and bodybuilding message board junkie. I read the forums almost every day for about 2 years before I took the plunge. So by then I pretty much knew exactly what to do and what doses were needed. One thing that really pissed / pisses me off is guys that just start haphazardly taking insane dosages of stuff. That's how the stuff got banned in the first place. Moderate, controlled use is not dangerous if done correctly.

The side effects weren't bad and generally only lasted through the cycle and the post cycle sides totally went away about 4 weeks after stopping. I always got bloodwork done at the college clinic to make sure my cholesterol didn't get out of whack.
