Answer 2

DON'T DO IT!

Advantages: you will be buff, look great, and girls will want to sleep with you.

Disadvantages: when you get to bed with aforementioned girls, they will laugh like h**l at what you have left to use. Also, fits of rage are common with users. And you might get addicted.

Please, don't be a user. It is bad for the body, in oh so many ways. Just get the muscles naturally. It is better, and you will feel better that you achieved it through honest means, and you still have your uh... stuff.

Also, you sure you're ok? Your stats (190cm and 64kg) are just a bit low. Just go to the gym and you'll be fine.

So, to recap, please don't do it.

I'm sure other answerers will say the same.

(P.S I don't mean offense by this answer, I just don't like to see people turn to drugs if there's another choice.)
