First of
all, What are they?
- Anabolic Steroids are a synthetic chemical compound very similar
to that of the male sex hormones (chemical regulator that control tons
of processes such as the reproductive cycle, growth, development and
different aspects in behavior)
Now what does it do?
They help the synthesis of new protein, help you train harder and
give more energy.
There are 2 ways to take steroids, orally
or injection. Oral is used by your liver much faster and has a toxic
effect on the liver, an example would your whole intake would be used up
in 1 full day. Injections are considered much safer because they are
injected into the bloodstream and are used much slower, takes about 3
days to start the process.
Beginner and moderate bodybuilders do not
need nor benefit as much as if you have hit a plateau (developed so far
naturally and cannot make any gains). Competition body builders use
steroids as a finishing touch to compliment they're already fantastic
physiques. A trained person will respond better to steroids better than
a beginner.
