MASSIVE amount of steroids fuck up the bones. Shit happened to Jimmy Superfly Snuka and Hulk Hogan. Both of them about have had multiple fusions (spinal, neck, ankles) and knee and hip replacements all because of steroids. That shit's happening to Ronnie in a BIG WAY.
Wrong. If you would like more studies I'll be happy to post them. GH can also help with tendon and joint injuries,
The crazy training (Ronnie) and wrestling forever like the Hulk can certainly cause these injuries but
anabolic steroids help bone density.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18830042Androgen inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption with increase of bone formation through androgen receptor in bone tissue. Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivates of testoterone. Anobolic steroids have favorable anabolic actions, lessening virilizing effects. Several anabolic steroids have been synthesized and some of them have been approved as a drug for anti osteoporosis. Anabolic steroids have revealed the increased bone mineral content or bone mineral density at the radius, and the lumbar spine in osteoporosis patients. Anabolic steroids have also decreased fat mass with increase of lean body mass and muscle mass, and lessened bone pain in osteoporosis patients having bone fracture, which seem to be favorable effects for especially elder osteoporosis patients. But in recent years the number of osteoporosis patients treated with anabolic steroids has been decreasing. Furthermore recently few clinical trials about the effect of anabolic steroids on osteoporosis have been reported, and prospective study for bone fracture using anabolic steroids has not reported yet. We would like to expect additional effects except on bone formation will enhance the frequency in use of anabolic steroids, and the prospective clinical study about the prevention against bone fracture will be reported in the future.
This is a link to a study of Deca and bone density.
