Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids are simply a synthetic copy of the hormone testosterone. As with any drug, they can be harmful to your health and cause damage to your body. Some bodybuilders do use anabolic steroids because they actually do build bigger muscle quickly, but are the risks worth it?

What we commonly hear about anabolic steroids is that they are illegal and the serious risks involved. All drugs carry some risks if not taken correctly, even Tylenol. The point is, even if steroids are taken correctly the physical and psychological effects that develop are not worth it in the long run.

What are some of these psychological effects? Consider a bodybuilder who uses anabolic steroids, performs good training, and eats a good diet. In a few weeks, he notices how quickly he has gotten very big and strong, and in such a short time! This is quite a high to try to come down from. When you do decide to stop using anabolic steroids, in no time you notice that your muscle mass is quickly shrinking, and that your strength is quickly fading.

Another fact to consider is that when deciding to stop the steroids, depression often follows. There are many reasons why you should not ever begin taking anabolic steroids to begin with, but if you do, you must realize that you may never get off of them, which is truly a hazard to your health and well being.

The best advice when it comes to taking anabolic steroids - just don't do it. Is it worth risking an illegal activity and your health to pump up quickly, only to suffer a big let down when you stop?

Stick to hard training, good diet and legal supplements like the kind we sell here at Anabolic Factory and you will be able to make great muscle gains you can actually keep.
