Victor Martinez’s experience using a banned steroid

However, instead of acquiring the results he wished for, he went through a myriad of side effects. He says, “Have I used it? Not gonna lie man I have and it was okay for 1 month then after that you start feeling weird. You start feeling the side effects way sooner than you do steroids and that’s why I’m not a fan”

In the Interview, when he was asked about his experience with the roids, he said, “Sarms, don’t care for it, don’t like it. I mean why use sarms when you could use the real deal? And obviously, there are still side effects with the SARMs, one of them is blurry vision, equilibrium goes off. So why bother?”  He further adds, “It was okay for one month. Then after that, you start feeling weird. You start feeling the side effects way sooner than steroids and that’s why I’m not a fan.” The amount of disgust he has for the ligand is clear from the statement and reaction that he brought about upon being asked the question.
