What`s your opinion on steroids use ?

I personally aprove them because everybody is using : viagra, lecitine, and so on. Why shouldn`t then testosterone or derivates be legal? It`s the same. It increases your performances.

 

Side effects and really if you leave, you'll have much less strength and muscle, quickly lower

People around me do played with steroids and served them nothing

:/

 

Steroids are generally a no no but other nature based stuff I think it's okay. Like proteins and stuff?

 

Anabolic steroids were originally developed to be used in treating the elderly in helping them to put on weight. Used in moderation under a doctors care these can prove beneficial.
However bodybuilders use vast, dangerous amounts to increase their muscle density and mass. This can lead to an elevated pulse rate and extreme high blood pressure. Heart attacks and strokes are a costly price to pay for a bodybuilding trophy.

 

I don't really support steroid but it does depends. If using steroid to help build muscle for HEALTH REASON ONLY then it's perfectly fine with me but if using them just because they want to have some muscles then that is what I am very much against because if they want to have muscles then that's what lifting weights and exercise is for.

Few of members in my family used steroid and caused them death, not only one member in the family but seven died from it. This is why I am against it but only if it's just to build muscles then they are lazy to lift weights and exercise and is a big no no to me but if it's used to rebuild muscles from damages or for medical reasons then I am not against it.

 

Dangerous and big risk...........with no benefit.

 

Steroids tend to shrink the balls and grow the skull. That's the last thing any man needs: shrunk balls.

 

If you have someone who is experience, willing to teach the 101 of it then there is tons of benefits.

This only happens if when you stop taking the dosage incorrectly. You have to take some medication, so your body can build the testosterone by itself.

 

This crap kills your health. it's a medical fact. Period

 

I use(d) steroids to get shredded. My balls only shrank because proportionately they looked smaller to the rest of my body. At least that's what I tell myself...

 

I think using steroids is not good for health. In the long run you may get many health problems....

 

While I would not use steroids because of the health risks (and I have no need...the Olympics are not calling me any time soon, steroids or not), I think that trying to stop it or other performance enhancing drugs is a fools errand. It is much like when the U.S. tried to ban alcohol a century ago: all that it did was put some people in prison, prevent a lot of people from enjoying a drink, and cost a lot of law enforcement time and money better used elsewhere than to chase violators. Banning a "new technology" (after all, that is what these drugs are) usually does not work and only serves to raise prices and make the users more creative about hiding such use.

Beyond that, I think that it is an individual's right to choose what they do to themselves. One athlete might feel that the cost of performance enhancing drugs (in health and other terms) is worth it because s/he will make millions in the short term as a professional athlete and lead an exciting life because of it. That this life is likely shortened may be a trade-off that this person is willing to accept. Does it give the user an advantage over a non-user athlete? Of course it does -- much like the advantage an athlete whose family could afford the best coach, best food, best vitamins, etc., would have over an athlete who has to work a full time job just to stay alive and cannot afford the best of anything when training.

Going further with this: what happens when an athlete decides to have surgery or implant bionic parts to run faster, jump higher, etc.? Many decades ago, I was a professional trumpet player. There was a fellow by the name of Maynard Ferguson who was a world-renowned trumpet player and who had the money to surgically alter his mouth and teeth to allow him to play better. He also was able to afford a trip to Tibet to study with the best Yoga people in the world to enhance his breathing capabilities. As a consequence, no one could hit high notes like he could. It gave him an "unfair" advantage but all that the rest of us could say was "Wow, he is amazing!"

 

Yeah, but hitting a high note on trumpet doesn't emasculates anyone. Anabolic steroids do. There are probably tens of thousands of former male athletes out there in their forties and fifties who would do/give anything today to have a functioning little man. A high anabolic steroid use can completely destroy a man's body's ability to produce testosterone. That's something that no one should take lightly. (Some may say: "Well, I'll use Viagra then!" The thing is if your body can't produce testosterone, Viagra won't help you.).

So, I'd warn any young guy out there who wants to pump iron and gain some muscle weight with the use of anabolic steroids - DON'T.

 

I absolutely agree that, to me, the trade-off is not worth it for many health reasons (heart attacks and strokes are no picnic, either) and that everyone should be warned about the known perils. My point is that the trade-off may be worth it to some and that the issue of "fairness" is a red herring, as well.

 

For sure man, I totally agree with you - yoga rules
and prohibiting steroids will create only steroid blackmarket and police corruption problems

 

It's like taking a loan from a bank. Might feel empowering at first, but you'll have to pay for it sooner or later.

 

Things like HGH are actually clinically proven to be beneficial to your health as you age since men lose testosterone as they age (resulting in loss of muscle mass, energy loss, bone density degradation, etc.). It's been said to almost slow the aging process down, so if it becomes legalized and regulated I think it'd be beneficial to society.

The irony in illegal drugs is that many of them (ex. marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, DMT among others) are not even REMOTELY close to being dangerous like some very legal, over the counter drugs. It's a farce.
