Oooops.... Not Again, so much bad information!
I really wish people who have no experience would be quiet and LEARN rather than post misinformation...
Anabolic steroids cause an "anabolic" effect within the muscle cells of the body, which means simply that they allow for better protein uptake to the muscle cells so that muscle growth is faster and more complete than otherwise would happen.
They also have androgenic effects, which simply means that they have "masculinizing" (makes you more male) effects on the user as well.
They can have certain side effects, but most of these can be avoided through proper use and post cycle therapy.
Steroids will not build muscle any different than other supplements or natural means as muscle tissue is muscle tissue regardless of how you create it.
Steroids are not for people who "think" they know what they are doing, they should be left for those who REALLY know what they are doing. And getting to know what you are doing with steroids can take years of proper research and learning. reading what some unexperienced people say on forums is NOT going to teach you anything meaningful about steroids, rather, it will just give you a ton of bad information, as I see is clearly the case in this thread.
I am a bodybuilding coach and trainer of professional athletes for over 31 years, so yes, I have a multitude of information on the subject. I myself have been trained by the same trainers who coached Magnus VerMagnussun, 4-time winner of the Worlds Strongest Man competition, so I do know of which I speak. I have trained well over several thousand pro athletes over 31 years, and have used steroids for years, and have trained others successfully for many years as well.
All are healthy, bigger and stronger than they ever could have been otherwise.
If you are looking to avoid using steroids, or you are frightened by them, or simply do not know enough to want to try to use them... good for you... at least you are smart enough to know that you don't know what you are doing... and that is the SMART thing to admit to yourself... so for MUSCLE BUILDING or WEIGHT LOSS supplements, the best place for YOU to get them is at Muscle Fitness Nutrition.com.
This is the best place on the internet to get supplements that REALLY work to add lots of new muscle, and lose weight if so desired without needing to resort to steroids which you do not know enough about to be playing with.
You should use the links I placed in this article (above) because at these sites you will get the exact same results as steroids...with no possible health issues, and the supplements listed on the sites I listed here are 100% legal as well, so you have no issues with their legality either... these supplements are used by many pro bodybuilders and other athletes...so you KNOW it is a quality outlet for real effective supplements.
This is definitely the route you inexperienced guys should be going.
steroids give strength virtue to a person taking them than those who only do training through exercise. this is why taking steroids is considered cheating in majority of the sports except when the athlete was given a dose due to a medical necessity. notwithstanding, there are serious effects of constantly using the drug both physically and mentally.
