I never understood the penalisation of PED's in the Army. When I was in the British Army, our airborne brigade was randomly steroid tested and 16 guys immediately lost their jobs/career. The reason PED's are banned in the Olympics is because it's unnatural, and thus it's cheating. Warfare isn't a race, it's life and death, if you're able to maximise your abilities and thus increase the chance of survival, why not? I do appreciate that habitual steroid usage is bad for your health and shouldn't be done. But for units that are deployed frequently and are at high-readiness, I think steroid use should be allowed on an individually elected basis. SOF units, high-readiness and units preparing for deployment should be given carte blanche to do whatever is necessary to be at optimum performance when entering the warzone. I'd rather juice up and survive then fight fair and die.

I never understand why no one wants to invest in making steroids safer and healthy. The majority abuse them and they don't have the clearest idea how to use them. If proper cycling is used it does provide an edge and you still need to put in effort. The mindset of "I'm proud being natty" is a pointless argument to make especially in combat. When you're in combat, you need to outperform the enemy physically; it's not about being prideful, it's about survival. Imagine the enemy taking steroids and they kill you by outperforming you; at least you died being natty. War is not about being fair. Hell the DoD forced everyone to get the COVID vaccination that was supposed to be FDA approved which it wasn't, and now there is an increased of health issues because of these mandated vaccinations.

Hey gritty I was recently diagnosed with hypogonadism and perscribed trt. I was doing everything I could to raise my testosterone. I was eating 7 clean meals a day. Never missing a workout etc. I’ve been training a total of 7-8yrs and got to 5’11 205lbs pretty lean naturally. My total test came in at 285 and I’m 22. I just took my first trt shot today. But I was struggling with low test symptoms for 10+yrs. When I was going through middle school, high school and now college I have been in chronic pain, had no sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, extremely easily injured etc. I don’t consider my self cheating because all my trt is doing is getting me into the normal range. I do think there is a place for testosterone usage in cases like my own. I mean only if you had true low t and felt all the misery that comes with it, only then can you understand. It brought me to seriously considering ending my life multiple times.

The same could be said of other drugs pushed/available to military members (too many to name).

Pretty disappointed with Army “influencers” as of late, and the lack of understanding displayed in this video goes right to the top with the others. One thing I agree with you strongly on, they will be finding a significant majority of the special operations community is using gear. This testing will likely fall off the map when the come to the conclusion that you can’t kick out every SOF guy on gear. They wouldn’t be mission capable. It’s definitely a dangerous game to play with your hormones, but it CAN be done safely. There’s no reason for these communities to be tested on PEDs and to insinuate that “cheating” is a justifiable reason is laughable.

BUDs candidate dies during training, and then they find bottles in his pickup.... I believe HGH. Questions remain if those bottles were prescribed or not. Politicians and brass lose their ever living minds, Operators get tested. Women decide that they want to become a man, they get similar PEDs via HRT/TRT, no deployments nor PT tests and cheered as heroes. HRT and TRT have actually been shown to be beneficial with proper credentialed medical supervision, like an endocrinologist, in conjunction with proper lifestyle changes. Typically, this approach includes monthly to quarterly labs, and then follow ups with the credentialed medical providers for males who's T-level are below 300 nd/dL, and in most case around age 35 or older... This typically is the right about the administrative and senior leader roles, and preretirement, for AD, Guard, and Reserves components. If anything, given the ACFT scoring for those in their 20's versus 40's, as part of the annual PHA there should be Tlevel testing in conjunction with the metabolic panels in the later career years. Anecdotal, but if Lyle Alzado hadn't been using dirty needles nor had a higher cancer risk factor then the very same politicians wouldn't have lost their minds back in the 1980s. Anecdotal, secondary, it was interesting when I had a similar conversation with my VHA PCP informing that I like being male then asking if it would be easier to get HRT for female hormones or TRT to help with trying to stave off the 45-year-old body aches and pains... Two second pause, then he ordered the TLevel labs then informed that a specialist would handle the TRT, if indicated... And, you guessed it, 400 nd/dL lab results.

PEDs should be used in the military WITH MEDICAL SUPERVISION. Steroid's main benefit is muscle recovery, which allows dudes to work out a lot more frequently than dudes who are all natural. This becomes a lot more beneficial with age. But the side effects leave dudes on PEDs with shorter lifespans. Also, ligaments don't keep up with major muscle groups and are prone to tearing, which means dudes on PEDs will have more joint problems than those who are not. Also, heart problems are a major issue and is often a factor in the shorter lifespan of dudes on PEDs. Not to mention the other hormonal side effects such as hair loss on head, acne, development of breasts, shrinkage of balls, and the wide mood swings that would lead to more criminal problems for the force. Hence the medical supervision is a requirement.

I replied to another comment like this, but tearing of a tendon or any other sort of sports injury typically related to steroids is usually because of the compounds, nutrition, hydration, and most importantly the training of the individual. A SOF guy isn’t going to tear a pec out of nowhere because he’s on gear, a torn pec is because some dude decided he was ready for a 500lb bench press and his body wasn’t. On the reliability of soldiers in the field, that’s really just a matter of coordinating the joes to not be blasting while on an FTX or mission. Steroid administration is at most a biweekly thing if done responsibly, and that’s during what’s called a blast, which wouldn’t make any sense in the field anyway because there’s not enough calories nor PT to support muscle growth. Even so, I don’t think the mission would be compromised by dudes carrying a vial of test, a couple antiseptic wipes, and a needle kit in their ruck. If anything, by having a stabilized and scheduled hormone profile while on deployment, there might a reduction in cases of depression and/or self harm, because oftentimes hormonal imbalance by lack of testosterone is what causes depression in men.

I'm only a recently enlisted Guard guy (11B), but, at least on paper, I would imagine giving soldiers any advantage we can over the enemy, especially a potential adversery like China, who has zero qualms around PED use, would be ideal? Especially for SOF operators, and especially at the tier one level where the op-tempo is absolutely ridiculous. The main issue I forsee would be the fact that the stigma around PED's is such that there haven't been any long term studies (that I'm aware of) on their effectiveness and long-term side-effects in a way that would allow us to innovate in producing compounds that are safer and have better overall long-term viability. As well, the logistics of getting them to a combat zone, and administering them. Just my 0.02, so take it for what you will.

The idea that SOF's only advantage is their physical ability is wrong. The impacts from PEDs extend beyond just physical strength and that is where the danger lies. Even with medical oversight it can become a problem very quickly. Starting PEDs after screening/selection is also an issue because you selected this person and now you're altering them in such a way that it can completely change the person in attitude and abilities to where they are no longer a match and create tension in the group, blowing hundred of thousands of dollars.

From my understanding a lot of PEDs being taken these day are to shorten recovery between workouts or personal injuries. realistically speaking a lot of army jobs are very high intensity, and I think maybe it's a response to the notion that being on profile is negatively seen.

The steroids people think of made famous by body builders and athletes alike, don’t “make you stronger” they help in recovery. If you could only train a muscle group once a week naturally, PEDs will help you recover faster where you could train that muscle group twice, maybe three times. Yes large amounts of PEDs wil grow your heart, the heart after all is a muscle. Like so many others have said, the DOD should be bringing in civilian Drs to help our fighting force safely use PEDs to help with their recovery. And also bring in STEM treatments and CBD/CBN to aid in recovery.

A lot of dudes are avoiding the street steroids by going to some doctor (a "doc in the box" who gives you want) and getting on prescription T. No dirty batches and medically controlled so dudes have a lower chance of blowing out their kidneys. I can imagine that's going to be a bigger thing in those fields if the DoD wants to maintain the expensive steroid tests.

Use what God gave you and if that’s not enough then so be it. So many of these fitness influencers lifting ridiculous amounts of weight on KZitem are confusing many young people that they should be doing weight like that after following the programs set forth by these influencers. False expectations and it’s all about money for them. Never cheat do it the right way.

Is the logic here that we as the US Military can claim that our operators are "natural"? This isn't the NFL, MLB or Instagram! And you're talking about negative side effects? Show of hands from anyone with any side effects from simply serving in these groups? How's your hearing? Knees? Had your testosterone tested lately? I agree with you to an extent on the use of anabolics. But our entire military should have access to the latest tech in peptides and sarms. I mean, we already give them the best tech in weaponry and gear, why not enhance and maintain their physical state and output? We're already cheating. We're cheating because we have the naval tech. The aircraft tech. The comms tech. The weaponry tech. The optics tech. Etc.

@@GrittySoldier No. No confirmation bias. I don't agree with using full blown anabolics to get bigger. But there are a few that help maintain muscle mass. The side effects you discussed are aesthetic or short term at best, the worst being the disruption of natural T production, which if you read your comments, is already an issue. My nephew came out of 2/75 with a host of issues which I listed, there are more, the most important to us as men, low T. He was 23 when he discharged in 2021. The rest of my rant was about how we should be giving these guys access to the latest tech in peptides and tested SARMs. Why wouldn't we? Is there something noble in telling the next of kin "at least they died natural and without side effects?"

I know a Special Forces soldier who was on it. Lost his mind while in a foreign country. It took 6 police officers to handle him. In the US, they would have shot him. When the Commander found out the whole story, he said we are not spending money or sources for that. He did 4 months in that country (luckily, he knew the language). Comes back - tab off. No award, no goodbye. Back to the regular Army for the next 4 years for retirement eligibility.

I wonder what the they will do with all the service members who are on TRT and taking testosterone from a medical provider for hypogonadism so they can perform at peak performance? Just sayin….it’s like service members with hypothyroidism who have to take synthetic thyroid hormone. They’re quite a few….they would have to be clear about what would qualify as “steroid” level dosing and levels. I’m ok with TRT if it’s medically needed, but not excessive to where service members are taking who don’t need it.

In one comment you said that TRT (by definition replacing, ie not getting you above physiological levels of a young healthy man) is okay. Well one huge difference between being natural and on trt is that on trt your levels won’t drop when your sleep deprived or overtrained. So having testosterone levels consistently on the upper physiological levels gives you the ability to recover way faster and thereby perform better. So is this „cheating“ in your opinion or is it okay because it’s trt? We’re still talking about natty levels, not blasting gear. While I am natty, I really feel effects of going to hard for days in a row and I know that trt would let me recover way faster. When my levels will decline with age, I’m going to get trt, this will give me an advantage when it comes to recovery, but this is neither cheating nor unhealthy

I get what you mean. Maybe I couldn’t explain what I ment. Assuming two guys with the same levels of testosterone, one natty the other on trt. Let’s say both pushing it very hard in training while not sleeping much and on a bad diet. By then the natty guy will have very low levels, not being able to recover as good and therefore not performing as well. However the guy on trt won’t be as affected, he‘ll be recovering and performing way better. So trt is not the same as being natural. And while using exogenous testosterone certainly has side effects, it’s not a black and white thing where you could say „this guy got it from his doctor, therefore needs it and it’s therefore okay, the other doesn’t, he’s cheating and will ruin his health“. At least not as long as you’re talking about high physiological levels, blasting gear is different of course.
