This article seems like a bit of a stretch. If he'd been favoring one side of his jaw for and extended period of time it would make more sense. Some steroid users develop broadened jawlines. This is probably just the muscles reacting to the steroids.

It is a good example why using steroids in moderation is preferable to overdosing.

I've had some anecdotal evidence that steroids make facial muscles grow.  Maybe it's just water retention though.

The Jawline extension is from growth hormone, because growth hormone also triggers bone growth, same with the forehead.

Absolutely - most bodybuilders over look this important muscle... What you want is the biggest most massive and lean heart.. Ask any cardiologist - they will tell you..

It has to due with the way the heart pumps blood around, and interprets electrical signals that control it. After awhile the heart becomes less efficient at those matters depending on the degree of enlargement. A bit of enlargement isn't a bit deal, and maybe beneficial, but with some huge, heavy folks you can see enlargement 3x - 4x the normal size, at that point it becomes a losing proposition.

Actually people with poor facial symmetry aka lopsidedness seek to bolster their sex appeal by developing their physique, oftentimes becoming addicted to steroids.

Some years back i started using steroids and also stopped riding my motorcycle. After a year or so i started riding again and noticed my helmet didn't fitted my head anymore.
The only explanation i find is the steroids i used. Never went over half a gram/w and never used growth hormone, just testosterone and it's derivatives.

if you gain weight, yes....Your head gets bigger, only normal. Not directly because of the gear.

I think in the case an impacted tooth lead to swelling of the jaw and non use of the mastoid muscle lead to atrophy and possible growth to the other side. Bunch of dumbass motherfuckers we have as Dr's.

One would think maintaining a high level of testosterone  in the blood would be necessary for the maintenance of masculine facial characteristics. It's been proven  Women's faces get more masculine after menopause when fertility begins to decline and estrogen levels drop, why wouldn't a mans face get more feminine? We all know estrogen inevitably increases with age..

An enlarged heart may be bigger, but it isn't stronger. That's the problem.

Folks with congestive heart failure have enlarged hearts.

This.

A heart is more like an organ than a muscle as understood by most (skeletal muscle).

Organ don't get stronger with use. They get "weaker" in the sense of getting worn out. If that was the case an alcoholic would have a strong liver. They do get an enlarge liver but not a stronger one.

The heart and lungs are pretty much fixed in their capacity to perform. You can improve your cardiovascular ability by increasing the size of blood vessels and veins, capillary beds... your cardio efficiency. But your heart and lungs itself doesn't increase it's capacity to pump blood and increase oxygen. It can to some extent but not enough to support an additional 50-75 lbs of muscle with out causing an additional burden.

Whether it's fat or muscle being very big is not healthy.

canīt agree with you. Your Heart is more efficient, it is stronger and has a lower resting pulse.. thus your max pulse is harder to reach because your trained cardio vascular system is so much better at what it does. Look at an untrained person, they hit maximum heart rate very quickly and their heart is unable to supply oxygenated blood quick enough. A trained athlete can last much longer before his cardio system and heart rate hit itīs max.. the legs and musculture are still being fed with oxygenated blood.

You are right, there is such a condition as athletes heart, in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal.  Athlete's heart is common in athletes who routinely exercise more than an hour a day, and occurs primarily in endurance athletes, though it can occasionally arise in heavy weight trainers.  Athlete's heart most often does not have any physical symptoms, although an indicator would be a consistently low resting heart rate.

Athlete's heart is a normal, physiological adaptation of the body to the stresses of physical conditioning and aerobic exercise.  People diagnosed with athlete’s heart commonly display three signs that would usually indicate a heart condition when seen in a regular person: bradycardia, cardiomegaly, and cardiac hypertrophy. Bradycardia is a slower than normal heartbeat, at around 40–60 beats per minute. Cardiomegaly is the state of an enlarged heart, and cardiac hypertrophy the thickening of the muscular wall of the heart, specifically the left ventricle, which pumps oxygenated blood to the aorta. Especially during an intensive workout, more blood and oxygen is required to the peripheral tissues of the arms and legs in highly trained athletes' bodies. A larger heart results in higher cardiac output, which also allows it to beat more slowly, as more blood is pumped out with each beat.

Still broken hearted about finding out your man was a fraud -- or as you like to always say, a hypocrite. A term you don't understand.

Seriously, you come across as so sad and depressed. How many times in the last year have you contemplated suicide?

How long did you search the net trying to find a gif that suits your agenda? Nothing but time on your hands when you live off the labor of someone else.

One day you won't be getting money from your mom and will have to support yourself. Then you will find that life is more than just getting stoned, being on an internet board and desperately trying to get laid. 30 years old is not that far off, boy.

Incorrect. Your heart is not stronger. Not by much. It doesn't get stronger with use. Your cardio vascular efficiency, which includes a myriad of factors: hemocrit level, arterial/vein size and dialation, oxygen transfer.... is what improves. Not the heart muscle per se. Not by much. Same with the lungs. The air capacity is fixed. Other factors come into play.

Bodybuilder do a ton of cardio and resistance training. They should be in fabulous shape. It is their sheer size that kills them. The heart cannot support all that muscle mass the human body just was not designed to carry.
