| One of the biggest problems in today's
society is that people are always looking for the quick fix.
We are all influenced by television and magazine adds that's
why they are there. Everyone should keep in mind the old
saying "If it sounds too good, it is probably a
lie." The fact is: there is no miracle pill or drug
that you can take to change your body composition overnight
(or in a few weeks for that matter). If you aren't satisfied
with yourself and want to make a change, the ONLY way is to
work at it. You must keep a healthy lifestyle!!!
Only after you have a healthy diet, workout, sleep
schedule, and the ability to keep it consistent, will
supplements help you. This goes for steroids as well. Of
course, some supplements, like andro products, creatine, and
protein meal replacements, will be of some benefit to
someone who may not have everything in place but, they are
still not going to help to their full capacity. You have to
help them help you. You have to feed your body well, so they
can be used to their full potential.
Steroids will only be a true benefit to a person who has
paid the price of time and hard work in the gym. A person
who hasn't, will certainly see gains after using a steroid
correctly, however, the chance of them being quality gains
is very low and the person will certainly loose the bulk of
them. In short, nothing, not even steroids, can change the
way you look in the long run without hard work and
discipline.
1. Using Excessive Dosages
When taking steroids, the more you take is not always the
best way to go. Taking excessive dosages has become a huge
problem with steroids today. It isn't only dangerous, but
studies have shown it to be ineffective. The body can only
use a limited amount of the steroid so the extra is turned
into estrogen by the body.
2. Staying On Steroids Too Long
In several cases, steroid users avoid warning signs
telling them not to go on a cycle more than 8 to 12 weeks
without an off period. If an off period is not taken, there
is a higher chance for the negative effects of steroids to
occur. If there is no off period the body does not have a
chance to recover from the steroids, so more damage is done.
This also is terrible for the kidneys and liver.
3. Eating Poorly
Many people ignore magazines and educators that explain
eating as being an important asset to growing, but the truth
is, eating healthy has a big effect on the body. When on
steroids the user must consume at least 4000+ calories per
day to gain muscle. The diet must be high in calories,
protein, and carbohydrates.
4. Training Incorrectly
When on steroids the training must be intense and
difficult. Instead of the usual weight that suits you, you
must do excess weight and strenuous work for the best gains.
The workout should involve the maximum weight possible, and
make progress each time.
5. Not Getting Regular Blood Tests
Steroids are very dangerous and can cause great problems.
Blood tests should be done often and regularly. When
steroids are first taken many tests become elevated but will
return to normal with in a few weeks. During the off period
tests should also be done to make sure the body is
recovering properly. If there is a problem with the Blood
test, consult a doctor that you can trust.
6. Using The Wrong Steroids
Many athletes will increase their chances of getting
negative effects when they take the wrong steroids. The
strongest steroids that build more muscle mass, have the
most side effects. These drugs should be avoided if
possible, unless there is a reason to have an unbelievable
gain. But these drugs are very toxic and I would recommend
not taking them.
7. Using Counterfeits
Counterfeit steroids are a bigger problem than you would
believe, there are more counterfeit steroids in the market
than you would think. These steroids offer no positive
gains, and some give the side effects of real steroids.
Taking counterfeit steroids is like injecting poison into
your body, bad effects nothing positive.
