Ever done steroids?

[teadrinker]

I was at the gym today, and there was a guy there with the most incredible muscular upper body. He may just have obtained his figure through plain hard work, but I couldn't help thinking "steroids". My own workouts are aimed at general fitness and muscle tone, not bulk, so I'm just a scrawny kind of guy.

But - out of sheer curiosity - has anybody here ever done steroids for muscle bulk? Did they work? Would you do it again?

Thanks,

Steroids are not worth it, they may give you a muscular body, but eventually it can cause health problems, from Cancer to diabetes, infertility, loss of hair, difficulty getting an erection etc (you can find this on WebMD).

Steroids are used to treat certain diseases, but the reason why athletes or body builders may damage their body is because they use much higher doses then those prescribed to the sick. So, why take them to look good for a while, when in the long run you may suffer from it’s adverse affects later in life.

I've n ever done steroids. But i know people who have. Talk about tempers and back-acne. Gross!

seriously knocks your immune system around if your not taking carefully managed medical doses (i was on them for a while...god help me i never wanna go through that again! lol)

Steroids do work to temporarily increase mass and make muscles appear bigger. Part of the gain is retained water but the drugs do foster muscle growth.

The side effects are pretty serious. Back and chest acne are the most obvious. Mood disorders are common. The testes shrink. There's also some evidence of increased incidence of certain forms of cancer.

It's a big risk for a temporary gain.

i know people who have never done steroids .. They have terrible acne and bad tempers ,, and no muscles at all.

Cycles of anabolic steroid usage can also seriously damage the liver, the kidneys and the heart. Your sex life takes a very big dip. The acne and mood swings are the least of your problems. For they are temporary. Anyone for a kidney transplant?
