Steroids - Are they harmful?

[Playboy]

discuss   is steroids use harmful.     keyword  "use"  not abuse

anyone want to admit any sides

Absolutely not. Truth be told.

[Ross Erstling]

Anyone who believes that anabolic steroids will enable the user to build muscle mass and lose fat without commensurate effort is just foolish and ignorant. 

Anabolic steroids will ENHANCE the effect of training and diet, but without a fundamental understanding of bodybuilding application, steroids will do very little for body composition changes.  Steroids are not magic, but they will DEFINITELY allow you to build far more muscle, and much more rapidly, than you would naturally.

Quoted for the truth.

In most cases no, but get a blood panel and review your family history before you start. But in general and use just for hrt purposes, the positives outweigh the negetives by a long shot.

Exactly! Moderate sensible use with actual blood work is very little risk and all gain.
The only down side is at that level you may not make huge gains like those who go to extremes with the drugs.

you must get legit hormones

[g101]

steroids will only "help" you 

[Deicide]

Croatch...in all the years of observing you, I think this is the only topic you have ever made a noteworthy contribution to. I ask this in all honesty: do you have any other interests apart from being 'anti-steroid'?

The effort needed varies between individuals. You can't deny the extreme changes in short periods of time with some good responders.

There is NO ONE who will look like a Kevin Levrone(or any other IFBB bodybuilder) overnight.  These types of physical changes require YEARS of hardcore training, dieting, and of course, anabolic steroids.

To put it in to perspective, in the last 10 years, I have not taken off more than 7 days COMPLETELY from the gym--EVER, and these occasions that I did were extremely rare.  For the past 10 years, every 2-3 hours, I am consuming 40-60 grams of protein.  For the past 10 years, I have been training in the gym at least 4-6 times per week, for at least 60-90 minutes. This is a lifestyle for me and although I will admit that I could have NEVER looked like I do naturally, it has taken me QUITE a long time to get here, and it's the same for any IFBB bodybuilder but even more so.

no kidding, that's probably true for 99% of us. Again, some people blow up in a few months time - not ready to step IFBB stage but enough to turn heads. Some will look like they haven't touched a weight.

[Deicide]

No.

WOW.

^ this

i know a guy who has been on for almost 15 years- always at 500mg a week- ramping up to 2000-2500mg a week 3-4 times a year for 6-8 weeks. he's an insulin user as well.

he got bloodwork done the other day- thyroid, prostate, cholesterol, liver and kidney function all fine. no sign of diabetes.

so much for steroids being so harmful.

thanks for playing, 'croatch'.

Its one thing to take moderate doses and its quite another thing to abuse. Same can be said for alchohol & cigerattes.
