To be honest if your going to play with PH's you might as well go all out and take the real thing... (i.e. proper steroids) But I suppose alot of people have issues with a trusted dealer . However if you can get reliable steroids (pharmacy grade) and you've taken/taking PH's you might as well go for the roids. The majority of the side effects of steroids are the same as those of pro-hormones. However PH's aren't as strong as they're pre-cursors so gains are lessened. One final note alot of people think steroids are illegal to take, this is not the case they are illegal to sell. So unless you have over a years supply (or more) of the stuff (around the amount classed as dealing) which you won't because that would be well..pointless, you're good to go! (provided you've done all the necessary research into dosages, how to inject, pct, and again you can get hold of pharma grade gear.)
