I kind of have a “don’t care” attitude about them because virtually every professional and top-level amateur athlete is on some sort of “performance-enhancer,” even if they are “clean.”
Also, I am into Strongman, so… yeah.
EDIT: To answer the OP, no, I would not take steroids because my life goal is not to chase PR’s.
Yeah steroids just has a lot of nasty side effects in them that can potentially destroy your immune system, if you either abuse them in the wrong way, or you've been taking them for a long period of time and you suddenly stop. A lot of people have this false narrative that they're going to bulk up, immediately just by taking steroids, alone.
Good for you for not taking them. Personally, I'd rather lift weights, naturally up to 240-245lbs, than to take steroids. Some people have an obsession with being freakishly massive.
