Anabolic steroids are synthetic metabolites of male hormones that are used to build muscle, improve performance, and improve appearance. This anabolic drug, or "muscle-building machine", helps the body retain protein, which is the body's Guarantee of muscle, bone, and skin growth. This artificial substance was originally developed in the 1930s to help men whose bodies do not have enough male hormones to complete the completion of male secondary sexual characteristics during puberty, such as deep voices and Growth of body hair.
But don’t misunderstand something. You won’t become a big guy just by taking daily injections of hormones or growth hormone. If you don’t eat a lot of food and train like a real warrior, these injections will give you Body stuff won't help you achieve the results you want. The benefit of steroids is that they allow a bodybuilder to recover from training faster than other natural bodybuilders. For example, a natural bodybuilder will need at least 48 hours to recover. If so, a steroid user would be able to complete the same recovery in just a few hours. Most of us train 3 to 4 times a day. And we train for no more than an hour at a time. So people who use steroids can easily train 6 days a day, and crazy schedule morning and afternoon training sessions throughout the day. Likewise, they can stay in the gym for 2 hours and be seen every day. Changes to become stronger. (This kind of training intensity will make a natural bodybuilder overtrain in no time!!)
As a result, these people can train longer and recover faster, which allows them to make building muscle mass a very easy thing for them. Here I also want to tell you about some steroids Other consequences of use.
The main side effects of anabolic steroid use include liver tumors, jaundice (yellow spots on the skin), cardiomegaly (an early sign of heart failure), high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis (coronary heart disease). Early symptoms include elevated cholesterol levels, heart palpitations, heart attacks, and eventually steroids can weaken the kidneys and lead to kidney stones and other kidney diseases. Others include severe acne.
Other side effects include:
Male users---------? Pills shrink, sperm count decreases, hairlessness, baldness, nipple hyperplasia.
Female users---------hair on the face, irregular menstruation or amenorrhea, enlargement of the vaginal hooves, and thickening of the voice.
Pubertal users---due to premature skeletal cessation of growth, resulting in cessation of growth (height) and accelerated emergence of sexual characteristics.
Used by athletesPost-symptoms:
Strength and muscle gain;
Color spots appear on the body;
Shivering;
Unexplained darkening of skin color;
Body odor;
Increased tendency to violence (inciting anger)
You also need to be aware that the physical impact will have a more profound impact on the mind, causing short-term personality changes. Steroid users will display uncontrollable aggression and violent tendencies, which we call " Inciting anger". There are also mood swings. Mania, accompanied by depression. Facts and scientific evidence make us have to tolerate the many risks that steroids bring to our health. Below I will give 5 examples.
My first two examples will be based on the human body's most important muscle--the heart. When we use anabolic steroids, it allows us to grow a lot of muscle,( Of course, it also includes the heart, because the heart is also a muscle). Its impact on health will be very, very serious.
Fact 1: A group of bodybuilders used steroids to compare with a group of athletes who did not use steroids. These people will undergo echocardiography (a sonar-like system that detects heart conditions). System) Doctors found that the left ventricle of the steroid group was 25% larger than that of the non-users. They also found that the heart wall of the steroid users was 20% thicker than the non-users. Although the heart wall was 20% thicker during the use of steroids. The heart size increased, but the cardiovascular function decreased by 18%. When these steroid users stopped taking steroids, their hearts became smaller, but they never fully returned to their former normal size. Now, if any of you are still If you think this is just a coincidence, then continue to look at the following example.
Fact 2: Of a pair of twin bodybuilders, one had used steroids for 15 years, while the other was non-user. The blood hormone level in the non-user was 6.2 mg/ml, while the steroid user The level of steroid hormones in the blood of the two brothers was as high as 11.5 mg/ml! Echocardiography also reported that the brothers had almost the same genetic background, the same training, and the same diet. The steroid users had left heart disease. The ventricles are larger but do not contract more forcefully.
Fact 3: In a survey in the British Journal of Medicine, five bodybuilders all used steroids and reported clinical hair loss. They all used anabolic steroids in large quantities, but none of them People knew this would make them sterile, and incredibly, all five of them had sperm counts of 0.
Fact 4: A very famous bodybuilder (I won’t say his name but I guarantee that each of you will soon know who I am referring to) (Translator’s Note: I have not figured out who this person is) ..) According to his doctorSaid he was treating the bodybuilder for leukemia, but it was not anabolic steroids that caused his disease, but growth hormone.
After reading the above examples, I believe you realize that steroids are completely not worth your use. Just imagine, who would go to get a seemingly huge and strong body, but inside? It is already extremely sick. ?Don’t ruin your health for the next 10 to 20 years (if you can still live that long) for the sake of temporary glory. Everyone’s understanding of health should be to live longer and healthier. Many bodybuilders think that I am exaggerating the facts. , I once heard someone say to me: "C`MON JOHN, I don't use a lot of (steroids) a year, I take care of myself, I know enough is enough." (Translator's Note: But he still uses it.) Well, In my next article?, I will talk about my personal thoughts on how I envision bodybuilding as a sport going forward (and also give some good advice).
