Body fat and steroid use

[JayMelt]

I have read on many forums where Veteran steroid users warn against those with body fat over 12% to not use steroids.

I have also read forums based in other countries where most members are from the UK, and Europe in general, say that is mainly Americans talking out of their asses and that 20% or more body fat is perfectly fine when using gear.

What are the opinions here on iSarms?

Powerlifters use steroids and they usually have high body fat %. Is that lifestyle more risky for them?

What's the word?

ive covered this so many times i want to scream but i guess i will again.. 1. the rate of estrogen conversion accelerates the higher body fat you get and becomes a very legitimate issues which then ties to point number 2.. when you have an elevated body fat its not a guarantee but likely you have worse blood pressure, cholesterol etc but even if you dont, its much more dangerous to have these spike at an elevated body fat and estrogen conversion clearly ties hand in hand with a higher bp... NOT GOOD 3. steroids should be used when you have reached plateaus you simply cannot overcome and im sorry but fucking 20% body fat is NOT even close to getting in any sort of top condition... you dont have to be something stupid like 5% but it clearly shows a hard lack of discipline, care or understanding of how to diet and train... you are FAR more susceptible to many potential side effects and attempting to take a short cut that is not there.. ANYONE can do what they want with themselves at any time, thats the beauty of America, you have that freedom... its YOUR life, your body and your decision but only a careless person is going to advise it to be okay.. its not ok. People ask how powerlifters "get away with it" get away with what? ANYONE can use them but who says they get away with anything... do you think they hold press conferences talking about problems they have?? not likely... so like i said... you can do whatever, whenever but it does not make it right, smart or safe

Very good. There's a huge Roy Nelson (huge arms tho) looking power lifter at one of my gyms and I swear he looks like his head is about to burst at any moment from high blood pressure. Dude gasps for air when just relaxing having a conversation on the couches up front.

Can't be safe.

Thanks for the info...

When it comes to cycling people should always think of doing it the safest way and with the least strain on your health, and that's exactly how we advise people. Cycling at a higher bodyfat increases risks and health concerns substantially and goes against everything about cycling safely

The higher your body fat levels, the more testosterone will aromatize into estrogen.

Running a steroid cycle at a high body fat percentage is not only bad for your health - it puts you at a huge risk of developing estrogen related side effects like gyno

Powerlifters are probably the most unhealthy out of all of the people that use AAS. Their blood pressure is so high it looks like their eyeballs are going to pop out of their eye sockets. Not to mention nose bleeds. Those guys are ticking time bombs.
