The photo, submitted by Reddit user winstoncash, shows the disturbing image of a bulked out arm that has obvious signs of steroid use. While many comments on the photo were directed at poking fun of the ginormous steroid arm, Reddit user RapNextDoor took time to explain the contents of the photo:
“Here’s the info: the bodybuilder who owns the arm pictured here is IFBB pro Frank McGrath. He does use many different steroids. However, most of this vascularity comes from his very low bodyfat and subcutaneous water retention combined with great genetics.
EDIT: So many comments asking why this is an example of great genetics. I mean this solely in terms of bodybuilding competition. Strong vascularity is beneficial in a competition. I understand that not everyone is attracted to vascularity ay this level, but that wasn’t really my point.”
While Reddit user RapNextDoor makes a valid point, there are many reasons why steroid overuse is harmful. While the physical affect of steroid use is obvious, there are many issues internally going on when one abuses steroids.
One of the key side effects of steroid use is high blood pressure and cholesterol. This can lead to severe cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks. The overuse of steroids can also lead to an enlarged prostate which can progress to prostate cancer if not treated properly. Lastly, one of the more prominent internal problems with steroid abuse is the effect it has on the liver. Progressive use of steroids can cause liver malfunction and can lead to Peliosis Hepatitis.
What do you think about this photo? Do you think steroids should be used in body building?

BAN for fake thread.
Bros-- agreed FAKE. Doubt McGrath's arm. The person has a tourniquet placed at the axilla to make the vascularity seem more than what it is.
Use to have a Munchausen patient that would do this, then look at you stupid as though there was no medical cause for it. Lol

Great genetics? When I see vascularity like that I can only think of one thing and that is unhealthy varicose veins. Some is natural with a low body fat percentage. Veins like that have have lost their elasticity and have worn out weak valves. I wonder if high blood pressure is one of the major causes in bodybuilders.
-
Even though the term "varicose" can mean simply 'large' or 'swollen' (don't get overly excited) ~ most folks in the medical community associate varicose veins with the twisty, dark blue, non-flowing veins that signify a more dangerous (possibly?) health situation. Stagnant blood flow is usually associated with the varicose veins you see in..... Walmart?
The veins of a bodybuilder like that will definitely come with extremely low bodyfat levels, but the high blood pressure is definitely a good portion of what it takes to look like that.
1) yeah, he could have held a tourniquet over his arm
2) he could have just finished pumping the crap out of that arm
3) I doubt ANY bodybuilder wakes up in the morning looking like that before a meal and/or a workout

Don Ross had those

I would imagine that before someone writes an article about a subject he/she READS about the subject. It takes 2h of reading Wikipedia to know that:
- not every steroid hurts liver
- not everyone is prone to prostate enlargement and it can be managed easily
- BP and cholesterol levels can be managed as well
She is a lazy girl.

Oh lord why are we posting stuff from Reddit. It's like seeing freshmen find alcohol for the first time, except it's the internet.
