Have there been any other Big Ifbb pro that has gotten kids after retiring or during the competitiv years?

We all know Coleman. but coleman is coleman lol. Anyone besides that?

And what about fbb's? Is it harsher for them? Anyone know any fbb's that has had kids during competitive years of after?

There are a lot of pros with kids your only talking about the top guys. Did you ever think the guys at the top are more concerned with career than kids? Maybe thats why they don't have kids so they can be at the top.
Not to mention just because you think its important to have kids I'm pretty sure these guys no the risks they're taking. So obviously its something they know and are dealing with.

Honestly, most have kids. Many have kids in gap years of competing. HCG does wonderous things to Leydig's cells. You will also notice many are not bald too. Really fertility is a highly genetic trait. Yes while you are on the high dosages of tests you aren't producing live ones. But get off the test, on some HCG, and then it's almost like back to normal. Many of the people who coudln't couldn't of had children anyway.

That's rarely ever the case.

Plus there are so many artificial methods the medical community has developed to increase fertility. I would be hard pressed to believe that any of these guys w/ kids had normal fsh levels. That just doesn't happen when you abuse AAS they way those guys do. Their own endocrine systems are certainly not stimulating sperm production.

Why not just get sperm frozen after being off for a while or before you start?

Does not cost that much, and makes a good backup plan if you cannot get the boys going again later and are better off on TRT.

100mg of Deca is enough to shutdown sperm production, dosage doesn't matter too much. Just mostly about coming off and getting laid. Even if on, the tri-stack of HCG/HMG/Clomid can get pretty much anyone pumping out some swimmers.

The thing is, it's gonna come down to the individual. There is no clear cut answer.


I also knew a guy at my gym who got his wife knocked up with twins while on 1.5 g of eq and never used hcg before! and then knew another guy however who used moderate stuff and had been off for 6 months and couldnt get his wife pregnant. once again nothings black and white with medical stuff especially fertility.
Exactly.

This may not pertain to aas use, but more of a fertility basis, but I have a friend that spend 3+ years trying to concive a child. They spent thousands on in-vitro and fertility doctors. They told them that they would never be able to have children on their own. In-vitro didn't even work. Months later, they found out she was pregnant, through natural conception.
On the other side, my wife and I concived a child within 6 weeks of trying.

We also have friends who have three kids under 3. They sleep in the same bed and she gets pregnant.


Basically what I'm getting at is, it's an individual thing. Doctors can say it's because of drug use, but maybe it was an issue before you even stepped foot in a gym.

I think that's really the issue here, not whether they can have kids or not. With modern medicine, there are so many artificial ways of conception. YES, bodybuilders who abuse AAS can have kids, but are they are doing it with hormonal assistance, not the "natural" way.

The issue IMO is does AAS abuse and artificial conception lead to higher rates of birth defects? I don't know the answer to that, but there seems to be evidence that it is the case.

Here is a more thorough explanation of Eugenics:


Eugenics is the "applied science (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Applied_science) or the biosocial movement (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Social_movement) which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a population (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Population_genetics)," usually referring to human populations.[2] (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/#cite_note-1) The word has almost as many meanings as there are discussions of the subject. Eugenics was widely popular in the early decades of the 20th century,[3] (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/#cite_note-Lynn2001-2) but has fallen into disfavor after having become associated with Nazi Germany (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Nazi_Germany) and with the discovery of molecular evolution (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Molecular_evolution)[citation needed (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]. Since the postwar (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/World_War_II) period, both the public and the scientific communities have associated eugenics with Nazi (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Nazism) abuses, such as enforced racial hygiene (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Racial_hygiene), human experimentation (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Nazi_human_experimentation), and the extermination (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Genocide) of "undesired" population groups. However, developments in genetic (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Genetic_engineering), genomic (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Genetic_testing), and reproductive technologies (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Human_cloning) at the end of the 20th century have raised many new questions and concerns about the meaning of eugenics and its ethical and moral status in the modern era.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics



It also deals with racial purity, extermination of undesired popualtion groups and yes that includes mentally challenged people. Here is a psoter of their propaganda:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/EnthanasiePropaganda.jpg (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/EnthanasiePropaganda.jpg)

Nazi propaganda for their compulsory "euthanasia" program (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/T-4_Euthanasia_Program): "This person suffering from hereditary defects costs the community 60,000 Reichsmark (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/German_Reichsmark) during his lifetime. Fellow German, that is your money, too."

During the 1930s and 1940s, the Nazi regime forcibly sterilized hundreds of thousands of people whom they viewed as mentally and physically unfit, an estimated 400,000 between 1934 and 1937. The scale of the Nazi program prompted one American eugenics advocate to seek an expansion of their program, with one complaining that "the Germans are beating us at our own game".[106] (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/#cite_note-105)
The Nazis went further, however, killing tens of thousands of the institutionalized disabled through compulsory "euthanasia (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Euthanasia)" programs such as Aktion T4 (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Aktion_T4).[107] (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/#cite_note-106) The methods of murder (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Murder) developed in the euthanasia policy led directly to their widespread use in concentration camps (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Concentration_camps) and extermination camps (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Extermination_camps), especially the use of carbon monoxide (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Carbon_monoxide) followed by hydrogen cyanide (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Hydrogen_cyanide) in Zyklon B (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/wiki/Zyklon_B).


After reading the entire link, would you guys still be an advocate for eugenics given that it is not politically correct today.

testosterone does not make everyone infertile, a spermcycle is 70 days, I have many friends who got their gf's and wives pregnant during cycle, some of them cycling for a long time.

and testosterone does not shut down your spermproduction on everyone and is not effective as birth control in men, testosterne was a candidate for birth control aid for the male but the infertility rate was to low to be accepted by researchers.

now reserarch for a male birth control aid is researched and candidates are MENT and DMN.

so yea chances are that if you get infertile during cycle and you dont recover you were going to get infertile anyway.

So guys who use AAS dont let your spouse off the pill thinking you are "safe"
